Murderbot

The walk to the stairs was a bit eerie, like the calm before a storm. Unlike the cramped jet and what he saw from up there, the stairs were wide enough for about 20 people to walk side by side.

But that wasn't the eerie part.

Kaisen was merrily hopping down the steps, eyes glued to Kara's succulent ass cheeks swaying like a metronome, when he noticed the appearance of... soldiers, he supposed.

They stood at attention like statues, making the atmosphere feel like the opening scene of a dystopian sci-fi movie.

At both ends of each step, whenever he set foot on it, two soldiers in all-white armor suddenly appeared, like ghosts popping out of a magician's hat.

It's not that they magically spawned from nowhere; they were there all along, only becoming visible when he stepped onto the same stone as they were.
