The mythical building has been repurposed for his small colony, and some aspects have been refurbished with salvaged parts from the Netherbrain assault.
One of them is a system that will… more or less help remove a tadpole from an unwilling host. Not directly, of course, but the Ulitharid must try. They’re running out of time.
The elevator jostles and shifts as it begins its descent. " We’re almost there. " His voice caresses @unfortunatedarling's mind, but there’s a bite of unfathomable anger tiptoeing around it.
