The dark corridor opens into Union Plaza, an immaculate resort concourse beneath a painted lunar sky. Elegant balconies curve above silent fountains, while dormant service kiosks gleam without a speck of dust.
Lounges line the plaza, occupied by motionless mannequins or frozen guests. Their faces remain turned toward the arrivals, their stillness too deliberate to feel like decoration.
Titus Aemilius
What kind of palace is this? Is this how the future will look?
Titus moves toward one balcony while Dagg and Mera inspect the fountains. Delfarius studies the polished walls, and Miko circles a dark kiosk without touching it.
Miko
This feels wrong... where are we?
Delfarius
Remarkable... I have seen many beautiful places in my world, but this is impressive.
Despite the gorgeous scenery, something feels off. There are no signs of other life.

Director's notewhole tale
Suddenly, the Type 05 comes stomping towards the group. Delfarius and Dagg attempt to use their powers, but soon realize that their powers were removed.
Heavy metal footsteps begin to shake Union Plaza. A type emerges between the silent lounges, advancing toward the group with deliberate, relentless force.
Titus Aemilius
What in God's name is that?!
Delfarius
Silly soldier. A mere automaton. Stand back, I will dispose of it.
Delfarius raises one hand and snaps his fingers. Nothing happens. No spark, pressure, or shimmer disturbs the spotless air, and his confident expression tightens.
Dagg Nabbitt
What are you trying to do with your hands, fool? Watch this, this will stop it.
Dagg braces himself and reaches for whatever hidden power protects him, but the effort produces nothing. The robot keeps stomping closer, ignoring every hesitation.
Miko
Perhaps I could hack it!
