Adtae was uncomfortable, but not enough to stop them.

He wondered when they would arrive.

Without asking you it, nobody answers your question. The car keeps driving for around half an hour before a sort of diagonal tower comes into view on the horizon.

Kal’s hand settled protectively over Pyre.

The tower does nothing alarming, although it looks quite out of place in the sky there. 

Rust expands, excited. “That is very very alive. It was not there the last time I was here. I wonder what it is for.”

Wait, wasn’t it Pyre?

You come up with ten names and try to remember which one was picked /j

Rust tries to emulate the human gesture of shaking their head, but ends up merely twisting back and forth. “They are sky people, so they are from the sky, or somewhere in the sky. But that is where they live right now, I think.”

Good point. And you weren’t the one to decide on it, which makes it harder still.

“That is hard for me to do, but humans have more steps when they communicate. Although I have to do many steps to talk to humans, and the other kinds of sky people.”

Kal looked at the driver and front seat passenger.

The driver is driving, of course. The Vvondin, in the front seat, is checking through some containers stowed up there and seemingly not paying attention to you.

I should go do my homework, so I will be off the Shard for potentially quite a while. I may check it briefly as a break at some point.

He looked at the building. It was unlike anything he’d seen before, but then again, he’d lived in a poor part of the district.

Pyre woke up again and yawned, stretching.

This was getting very annoying.

Kal also waited.

Arriving is taking a bit longer than anticipated. For as you get closer, the tower doesn’t. Rather than a moderately sized tower a moderate distance away, it is a massive tower much further away. The tower is tilted at about thirty degrees away from the ground, held up by thin struts. The top is perhaps a thousand feet from the ground, but the overall length of the superstructure is much more. The human biologist takes his hands off the wheel and turns around, smugness in his voice. “I assume you’re all from feudal shadowville, from the shocked looks on your faces. That’s the Runway.”

Pyre got up and pecked him on the nose.

“From what?”

The man’s suit seems unpeckable. Unfortunately for him, it does seem quite flammable. 

Fortunately for him, Pyre didn't want to set his clothing on fire- although the thought had occurred to him more than once already.

“Deluded shadow man said something about nobles, implying his society was feudal. I assume it has an actual name.”

That is indeed fortunate. Contact with the air around here would not be good for him.

The biologist almost says something, but then Adtae disappears. “Regardless, do you know how the shadow man is doing that? And can you get this bird off my face!”

Adtae looked at the man. Just get them there.

And then he teleported to the structure to scout ahead.

The structure is a massive tube that slowly ramps up to the sky. It’s seemingly made from similar materials to the suit the two “sky people” were wearing, and their self-propelled wagon. The pillars holding it up are made of the same material, and are in triangular groups, crossed by supports made from the same material. At the point the Runway reaches the ground, a large circular structure can be seen. You can still see the car, barely, which implies that they’re close. And actually, there are a few similar cars around, leaving the round building in different directions.

“No, I don’t. And Pyre is very independent. I can’t control him.”
