"What sort of magical fantasy fairyland have I entered?"
After having killed the half humanoid spider monster, Phillipa reached the mana generator inside the battleship Ingenuity where she quickly took care of a few Emergence drones before she stopped to take a closer look at her surroundings. The web covered room surrounding the mana generator was completely out of some kind of fantasy dungeon, none of what was happening around Phillipa at the moment.
"Unless…"
Turning back to face the corpse of the larger frost monster, Phillipa examined the remains to find an Emergence interface which made Phillipa finally able to make sense of the current situation.
(So the Emergence controlled this large monster? In that case, why even go for our mana generator, and why does the Emergence even have access to monsters in the first place?)
Still, with more questions than she knew what to do with, Phillipa contacted Dax.
