(LXI) The Mysterious Stranger

The remaining nine Floor Guardians all stared at Elissa in shock; something like this had never happened in the eons they'd served their roles. 

"Have you located the Climber?" One of the Guardians asked, slamming their heavy fist against the table, to which Elissa shook her head.

"I know the general location but cannot get to him. There's this impassable aura that's preventing me from getting closer." She explained, flicking her wrist.

Another screen appeared in front of the footage, a topographical map of La Sexta Isla with a large red circle in the northeastern part of the island.

"What about admin commands?" Another inquired, leaning against the table and holding their palm to the ceiling. 

"Ineffective." Elissa shook her head again, "The commands are being received, but when they start to execute, they're suspended in the queue indefinitely."
