The elevator was slow and meant to descend for a very long time. Amaya and Gio were standing there watching the surface become a small spot above them for several minutes before the walls around them expanded into anything.
But they eventually did.
The hole they moved through was reinforced with steel. When those several minutes passed, the space to their front and right expanded, while the space behind them turned into a wall that extended along the side of the facility.
They were boxed in by glass, and all of a sudden, it really looked like they were in an elevator entering a building.
And through the glass, they could see the scene beyond.
"This…"
Amaya's expression was one of surprise. Gio's was only grim.
The massive space was big enough to be a sports stadium. There were tubes lining the walls through which a milky white and almost translucent liquid flowed. The liquid was filled with starry clusters, making it look like a reflection of outer space.
