First another tower

Day 31
by Bolt

I was expecting some fight on the water. But the other small boat just takes off, back to the tower where Xerxes is. Guess we were lucky there. Bad time to start learning to swim.

It seemed like a good thing, but after the other two left our Farzads just kinda got stuck. No plan, no idea what to do and attacking from below the tower might be a bad thing apparently.

'How about we check out one of the other towers out first and check what we find there?', I ask. Do looked stumped at me before deciding that as an actual good plan. Hello?! How bad are we off if I have to think up the next step.

The tower
We make our way towards the tower and they lead us to some kind of holding place for the boats with stairs leading up to the actual higher levels of the tower.

We're almost up when things got both weird and very interesting. First a weird sound in the distance, some kind of wooping sound. Something is flying out there and it does not seem to be a bird. I'm struck with awe as I get a chance to look through Teslas distance watcher. Those are mechanical birds of some kind, and they look extremely impressive! There's like four of them, flying side by side in a neat line! I want one of those!

Luckily for now those things are not part of the Farzads, they have no idea what those are. But I guess that means something else is out there. I can see some kind of logo on the side and I pronounce the letters and quickly pass the distance seer back. These things are from Elysium, I head Tesla and Octavia speak about that name earlier. And apparently Elysium is the enemy of these Farzads people. What have we gotten ourselves into?!?

After that we reach a plateau of some kind, still metal and filled with holes, but pretty sturdy. Though we are not alone, another man is here and stares at us as we get up from below. He's wearing a pretty tight dark one piece suite and has some kind of long arrow like gun at his side. If that's a rot suit it looks in a lot better shape than mine!

Our Farzad's quickly convince him that we are here to help get rid of Xerxes and that we are good guys. He didn't seem totally convinced but he invited us to come up to a proper room to talk.

Though talking about certain topics is fun, I sure as hell was seeing a lot more interesting stuff. And the man wasn't even watching as I take a different turn and walk towards new things!

I find a room with more of those black suites and vertically stacked tanks of some kind. There is a wheel on top of the tank and if I turn it highly pressurized air comes out. There is enough air, why try and put it in those tanks? Interesting for later, I guess.

I make my way again and stop in the door of another interesting room. Two Farzads and one other person are sitting behind some kind of controls. Pushing buttons, watching bleeps and lights. They seem to be guiding two other Farzad's doing stuff with pipes outside the room. Something to do with the purpose of these towers. This must be the process of getting their oil. Those two Farzads are stained by black sticky liquid. Guess it's not a clean job. Interesting indeed!

A third room is filled with weird contraptions with pipes and cables. A woman was standing on one of them and moving in place. She didn't notice me so I made myself scarce, as speaking to people is not my strong suit.

Time to join the others again and see what they have done!
