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!”

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

Pyre chirped, amused, then clambered onto the biologist's head.

The biologist considers trying to get it off, but can’t think of anything that could work.

There is nervousness in the biologist’s voice. “Pyre is a poetic name, for the red feathers, correct? Because this entire vehicle may go up in flames.”

He chuckled. “That’s the one he picked.”

The biologist sighs in relief, misunderstanding the explanation. “I’ll only have to put up with you three - four - no, three now for another ten or fifteen minutes. We’re almost there.”

Pyre made a bunch of chirping noises that sounded suspiciously like maniacal laughter.

“Bird- Pyre, would you get off my head … please. You’re making me uncomfortable, and I would rather not drive us into a wall if I need to.”

Kal looked out the window.

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. 

Adtae surveyed the area for any threats, and waited for the wagon-thing-that-I-keep-on-wanting-to-call-car.

It is a car - or, rather, something closer to an off roading vehicle - but I don’t think Adtae has ever seen or heard of a car, so I’m calling it a wagon for immersion. 

There don’t seem to be threats, unless you count the far away “sky people” vehicles. The whole place is less busy than it seems a structure this size would indicate.

I know… I just keep on typing car and then realizing Adtae has no idea what a car is.

Adtae waits for the rest of the party.

The vehicle reaches the end of the Runway, which smoothly connects to a large, short dome. The vehicle parks itself into the wall, which is of course made from the black material they seem to make everything from. The two biologists get out, and they motion for you to do so. The human leans against the wall as well, but the Vvondin motions you to follow them. “I do not think your suits can sterilize or bud, so the research station will do it.”

I’m going to sleep. I will be back tomorrow morning.

Pyre was still asleep.

He did. He made sure to keep his arms steady for Pyre.

The Vvondin leads them to a different part of the wall. “You will need to lean on the wall here, and it will envelope you. After this, it will look through the bacteria on your skin, killing any that are harmful. Finally, it will pull you in, and the other side will open. If any of you are claustrophobic, there is something else we can do.”

He hesitated, but slowly and unsurely leaned into the wall.

Filaments in several colors - a leaf-like green, a darker blue-green, a deep magenta, a relatively bright yellow, and a few others - grow out of the black wall and loosely twist around you. They send off their own shoots and lock together, closing over your face, but they leave a decent amount of space around your eyes and mouth, and you can still breathe. If you understandably struggle, the strange substance is springy and strong, but the Vvondin would still call “don’t break the filament! Air mixing would be really bad!”. The cocoon cools down to a comfortable room temperature, and lifts you upwards and forwards, seemingly into the area occupied by the wall. After another ten seconds, a hand reaches out, grasps yours, and pulls you out into a brightly lit room. In the few seconds it takes your eyes to adjust, the others would be coming through.

I don’t think I’ll describe the room quite yet - I’ll wait for everyone to come through.

The front end of a shriek erupted from his mouth, but he silenced himself. He pressed against them initially, but stopped hearing Vvondin’s call. He made another sound as he was lifted back and floated suspended in the wall. 

When the hand pulled him out, he fell to his hands and knees. With one hand he shielded his eyes from the bright lights.

This might wake Pyre up since he's on Kal's head

Pyre shook himself awake.
