Void Rift (rp) - Intermission

"Three more of what you have here." The guard confirms.

 

Sapphire summons and tosses the guard three huge blueprints.
"Those are the next three I want to rebuild." She says, going back to work on Alpha. "If you can't make all of that, then just make two. If it's cost prohibitive... then you're doing it wrong."

 

"I shall take these to the engineers." The guard says, leaving through a portal.

 

As the engineers unroll the blueprints, it looks like a multi-thousand piece puzzle resulting in the construction of a battle-ready sea-leviathan, phoenix, and a splitting chimera of sorts. No screws, nails, or anything... everything fits together like an intricate jigsaw puzzle.

 

The engineers get to work on constructing the parts, following the blueprints exactly.

 

The parts are molded in ways difficult to assemble, and they struggle to fit the whole thing together.
It takes a few days to assemble the phoenix.

 

The engineers work hard on making the parts as accurately possible, taking a little while longer than they should do, before checking to make sure they've made the phoenix correctly.

 

The phoenix looks limp, but complete.

...it took a week to complete the smallest puppet. The chimera is much more complex, and the leviathan is massive, if the engineers dare continue...

 

It takes the engineers almost a month to complete the chimera, and another three for the leviathan, though they manage to complete them.

Meanwhile, in the past...

Angela looks around the void palace, curious, starting with the library.

 

The library is probably the size of the shadow palace. Nobody greets her, seeing as there's thousands of... everything... reading books.

 

Angela decides to greet one of the things reading.

"Um, h-hello. What are you reading?" Angela asks nervously.

 

The half-bat looks at her.
"This is about fruits from other worlds. I hope to try them all someday!"

 

"Wow, that sounds really interesting. Which ones are you most looking forward to trying?" Angela asks, interested.

 

The half-bat shows Angela a picture of a square, cyan apple-like growth from a crooked tree.
"It's called a manafruit. Apparently it's skin is used for potions and its flesh is eaten as a fruit!"

 

"Whoa, now I want to try one!" Angela says happily.

 

"Apparently it tastes something between a raspberry and an apple. It sounds really good!"

 

"If I ever find one on my travels, I'll try to bring it back here and try and find you so we can try it." Angela says thoughtfully, smiling.

 

"Thanks!" They reply, happy. "Travel safe, though! We all have families somewhere."

 

"Yeah. I'm sure my parents would miss me if I were to go missing one day." Angela says, before walking out of the library and exploring a bit more.

 

There's a cryo room, bunk room, lab, and training room and armory.
