Atala, the lost city

[Snowcraft_Pony]

Starlight turned and aimed her weapon at the alicorn, yet did not attack it.

"Is that celestia?" she asked herself.

[Omega_Khaos]

cosmic is examining the now available new data about the place. While the power is flowing he tries to pinpoint a possible power source. He listens but other wise is engrossed in his analyzing of the now available room power.

[Grizzly]

"It does look like her a bit." Blue said to Starlight and walked forth to the alicorn. It turned to her and smiled. "My name is Blue Star, who are you?" she questioned.
"I am M.I.A. The Meeting Intelligence Avatar for the city of Atala." it answered in a somewhat robotic fashion.
Blue hesitated for a bit but then extended her hoof, trying to tough M.I.A. but her hoof just past through her.
"Please don't do that." M.I.A. protested. "S-Sorry." Blue quickly retracted her hoof.

Cosmic could tell that the circle was a distribution point, but the energy or how exactly it works still remains a mystery.

[Snowcraft_Pony]

So M.I.A.? Where exactly in Atla are we?" Starlight asked, mispronouncing the cities name.

[Grizzly]

M.I.A. turned to Starlight. "You are in the travelers port, deep within the city." She pointed next to her and a white structure appeared, with red shapes corresponding to the expedition in the very bottom and center. "I am designed to greet visitors and guide them further." she answered the next question, which wasn't even asked yet.

[Snowcraft_Pony]

"Okay... So are we safe here or will we need to keep our guard up?"

[Omega_Khaos]

Cosmic looks to the M.I.A. and says, "If it is ok with you, can we have a map. I would love to better understand this city and the technology that went into building such a wonder. Even you are a piece of work. hope ya don't mind a bit of a complement. one more thing What would be the next best place to go for say a better understanding of possible languages here?" Cosmic seams to have pulled himself away from his study to ask the questions he has.

[Snowcraft_Pony]

Starlight growled at Cosmic "Hey! I asked a question first!"

[Grizzly]

"I am happy to report that in the current time the city is safe. All safety machina are up and running, and as soon you pass registration you will be safe to walk around" M.I.A. Turns to Cosmic. "If you want more information about the city, it's architecture, and the technology in placed, please visit our library when you finish with the registration." she ignored the question about the map and turned to Blue again. "Are you ready for registration?" She asked. Blue turned to Cosmic. "What do you think?" she wanted to hear more opinions before she'll answer.

[Omega_Khaos]

Cosmic shrugs and says, "If registration is what it takes to do our given jobs then by all means begin. So who will be first?"

((sorry y'all. If I don't respond immediately then that means am out for the count. something tells me I will not be able to keep up at this time.))

[Grizzly]

"Remain still, please." M.I.A. stated and closed her eyes, a beam of light swooped across all the members of the expedition. It was painful a bit, but not so serious. When it was finished before M.I.A. flashed the images of every member of the expedition, their name and their health state. "Sorry for the inconvenience, registration is now finished."

[Snowcraft_Pony]

Starlight nodded to M.I.A, before slinging her weapon on her shoulder and walking towards the corridor. "I'm going to take a look ahead."

[Grizzly]

There were now two open corridors.
"So, how can we activate the portal? And how many inhabitants this city has?" Blue asked.
"Unfortunately, the gate is currently out of order. It is impossible to operate at this point. The city's population is now 50 united entities." M.I.A. started to talk in a somewhat motherly tone, and overall started to treat the members of the expedition as children.

[Snowcraft_Pony]

Starlight Paused "Fifty entities? Does that mean we're alone here?"

[Chibalt]

Tundra watched quietly as the other members of the expedition talked with the strange AI while he himself worked on a particularly large searching rune, activating it and having it on for a few seconds before erasing it, seeming relieved over the results.
"Doesn't seem to be any traps of the rune type at least, and MIA, would you mind telling me why this city is abandoned? Just judging by this room alone it appears that the builders and occupants were quite advanced and I can hardly imagine such beings just up and leaving for no reason." Tundra asked, a litte sceptical of the AI but not seeming to have much against it, nor asking a question at the same time as Starlight.

[Grizzly]

"Yes." M.I.A. answered and turned to Tundra. "I apologize, but that information is classified."

[Chibalt]

Tundra frowned at the answer but did not pursue it further, instead deciding to ask something else that would be more useful right now.
"Three questions, is it possible for us to get some sort of personal map display for easier navigation? Are there areas we should stay out of? And lastly, has rune magic been used in the construction of this place?" He asked, curiosity getting the rise of him as he already idly planned out what to do, the library was something he would definitely look into as he was rather curious of it's contents and language.

[Grizzly]

"There are no personal maps, but every major point has a control point, where you may use one of the other avatars. As of now, all of you have the clearance to enter blue areas, any other are unavailable for you and you will be punished if you enter. I am unfamiliar with the term 'rune magic', please rephrase your question."

[Chibalt]

Tundra frowned a little as they only had blue clearance and apparently would be punished if they went above this clearance, he hoped the library wasn't divided into similar sections.
"The current definition of runic magic is where magic is channeled through symbols, what the energy goes to achieving depends on what the symbol is, at least that is layman's terms." He explained as he drew a rather simplistic rune on the floor simply to show what it was. "Simply magic channeled through text or symbols, I need to know in case there are reinforcement runes that I or others should stay well clear of until I can inspect them to look for any deterioration, possibly repair them if needed."

[Grizzly]

"Definition recognized. 'Rune Magic' was included during the construction of the city, as well as its function."
