Yes, thank you!

The eighth floor is free from signs of corruption, aside from the attack bots that will come after them for exploring. If they wait there for Aurora to completely boot up, she'll be able to give them further direction on what happened to her.

Something had gotten into the rivers, and while she had been waiting for Eos' report regarding what they had come across on Moorecroft, something had managed to get passed her defenses. Aurora's incapable of being hacked via a wireless connection, something has to physically get into her main servers to harm her. The creature, she suspects, had made its home within the rivers throughout Etraya, and had gotten through the filtration system set up to keep the waters pure. The water filtration system directly hooks up to one of the lower floors.

She will tell them that she cannot tell them where to find her central processing unit. She will, however, have a method around this: her physical form was not something that much of her code had taken into account, given she was never meant to have a body of her own. She will hesitate for a moment, seeming to take into consideration the rule she is about to break, before leading them all to the elevator.

Aurora will ask Connor to stand in the elevator, noting she does not intend to let it go down with anyone inside of it, but will stand in the doorframe while pressing a button with two downwards pointing arrows, at the same time as the ten. The light indicating which floor the elevator is heading to will show 100.

She will state her concern is their well-being, given how far down into the planet's core her processors are. What she has inside her temporary 'body' is a backup, a memory stored to be transferred in an emergency. If Connor wishes to interface with her, she would be happy to! This would also back up her story: the atmosphere that far down is rough. Aurora is fine, given she was created to survive in this atmosphere. She worries even Connor may be harmed in an attempt, especially given what she is aware waits between this floor and the floor they wish to reach. The water filtration system goes through the tenth floor. Heading right may show them how Im'mari managed to break in.

Heading to the right will bring them to the water filtration system, which has been recently repaired.

Aurora will recommend trying to find alternate ways of removing what has infected her system, reassuring them that her backup is running all right, and as far as she can tell, all systems are being maintained - for now. She does have their data stored in a hidden area on the fourth floor and believes it's more pertinent for them to remove that if possible instead of trying to release the creature's hold on her servers.

If they choose to venture down still, we'll tell you what they'll find on the one-hundredth floor!
