"Initializing reset..." a low thrumming ran through the room this time, this
one felt rather than heard, "Collapsing existing dungeon..." The sound rose
in power until the floor begins to vibrate, and the sensation ran halfway up
my legs. "Initializing new dungeon..." Reverberations rocked the room, the
dull resonance of a hundred thousand gears- more than that, surely-
squealing, a million mechanisms squealing and grinding in working order.
The clangor swelled in the air until it felt thick as jelly, ringing against my
skull until it felt like my head was going to explode... I could see my
companions wincing and covering their ears with me.
Suddenly the room went quiet. I worked my jaw. Damn... popped my ears
there.
"Reset complete. Dungeon construct status: Medium. Alternate capabilities
now available via the portal lens. Awaiting further instructions, Director."
"Alternate capabilities? What are those?"
"Rubikon can form a gateway to other locations by temporarily attaching
itself to known, existing portals. This effect is known as a portal lens. This
allows use of the portal from within Rubikon without traveling to the portal
location."
"So, if I know of a portal I can go to its destination from here?"
"Correct, Director."
"Are there any dangers associated with Rubikon that I should be aware of?"
"Yes, Director. Do not become separated from any companions while in the
maze. If the maze were to be reset, or a new difficulty setting chosen,
anyone left in the maze would be killed."
I nodded, "I see... I will not reform my party while in the maze. Anything
else?"
"Yes, Director. Do not drop items or equipment in the maze. If the maze
were to be reset, or a new difficulty setting chosen, any items left in the
maze would be destroyed."
