(Scars do not appear to be cause of death –shock ... - Bad Request

"Rubikon is a worthy accomplishment and..." It paused for a moment.
"I...We... are content."
There's that 'I' again. "How do I get out of here?"
The modron hesitated before answering. "Exit unavailable, project halted..."
The room was filled with a confused buzzing sound that stopped just as
abruptly.
"What do you mean? Something brought us in here... Just let us out."
There was a significant pause before the modron answered. "Request
denied... Project halted due to... accident."
"What accident?"
"Dungeon construct became unstable, cause uncertain. Fail-safes activated
causing dungeon to collapse, cause uncertain. Portal lens malfunctioned
causing contact with home plane of Mechanus to be severed, cause
uncertain. Reset of dungeon necessary."
"Then why don't you reset it?"
"Reset can only be initiated by project director. Project director
disintegrated. Portal lens has malfunctioned and contact with Mechanus
severed. Cannot acquire replacement director from Mechanus."
I rubbed my temples, "Let me get this straight. You can't reset without a
director, but you can't get a director without resetting?"
The modron looked worried and began to fidget. "Assessment correct.
Project halted."
I hated circular paradoxes. "Look, I'm an adventurer and I've been through
some dungeons in my day. Why not let me be your director?"
Another round of querulous buzzing hummed through the room, then
subsided in an instant. "Assistance welcome. You are now project director.
Advise on next task."
"Reset the dungeon, and construct one of medium difficulty."
