As the Jeep traveled down the road alongside the starport, they would see their destination start to appear on the horizon.
First, it looked like it was just a solid black line stretching upward.
Then then the base of the structure started to come into view.
It looked like a bunch of jet-black hexagons, some spread out from left to right, others stacked ontop of each other, sections copy-pasted onto one another to form a growing tower.
Large drones were floating overhead, delivering material from the starport or moving new hexagonal pieces into place.
They would soon pass by a sign that said "WELCOME" and included a QR code.
MACHINE DISTRICT
Vier had been busy.
What used to be empty desert, was now a sprawling complex of interlocking black hexagonal rooms, each large enough to house several starship, some stacked only a handful of stories high, others towering above the entrance gate that the jeep had stopped at.
As the gate opened up, lights would turn on inside of the first open chamber... The lights just bright enough for the Jeep to see the path that led inside. As they entered, additional lights would turn on to illuminate their path, though it seemed not a watt was wasted lighting anything that didn't need to be. It was nearly impossible to see the walls... and soon the floor would give way as well, indicating that the complex continued on downwards just as far as it did upwards. Small mechanical drones would be flying by at high speed, delivering small objects to where they needed to go. The road twisting and moving upwards until it came to a small parking area, lights illuminating a structure that had been attached to one of the side walls.
As they approached, the exterior of this structure would turn transparent, allowing them to see through the doorway and into what looked to be a well furnished living room with a kitchen nearby, one large window on the other side allowing natural light in as well as a view of Osman city.
Vier herself seemed to be cooking something in the kitchen.
Vier also seemed to be going upstairs, and coming outside... all three bodies dressed in the same form fitting grey clothing, a tank top and similarly tight fitting running pants.
"Thank you for bringing Amit by Jack. I think it may be best we keep him here. The locals are already uncertain about us as it is..."
