Advance toward [Rautherdir's character], carefully and looking out for any possible threats.
You walk towards August, until you catch up with her.
"Gee. How informative."
Expand cane into a platform I can sit on and see if I can make it hover in mid air.
Hmm. First, you extend your cane into a large round disk about an inch above the floor. Then, very slowly, you step on top of it. Once you leave the ground, gravity takes into full effect and the disk clatters to the ground.
Looks like the rod doesn't have anti-gravity properties. How disappointing.
"Well it's something. I would need to get closer to get more information and given my tendency to draw the fire... oh wait I could use my augment."
Advance towards the building.
On your way to the building, you are joined by both Vladimir, Doc, and Darwin. As the four of you walk, the ground seems to be getting harder and harder, resembling some sort of scabbed-up flesh. Gross.
regroup with the others. Be ready to intercept hostiles.
You walk with Vladimir and Darwin back up to August. That ground is pretty gross, yo.
"Weird. Certainly something to write about."
Follow along with [Rautherdir's character]. Stay behind the others.
Along with Doc and Vladimir, you catch up to August. Along with the others, you notice the scabby ground and find it somewhat disturbing.
