(The tunnel takes you and Summer underneath the mountain ridge. You both come across a corridor on the right and enter it. The corridor leads to a small room where the followers and Grimm have stored various equipment and supplies. The door here is locked but there's a control terminal nearby. Summer accesses the terminal which unlocks the door)

Summer: Welcome to the Conservatory.

Conservatory & The Spire

(You two head through the door and up a ramp)

I wonder what the Grimm and Demon Kings followers are looking for down here.

Y/n: Let's go find out.

(You arrive at a set of doors which have been physically forced apart. Summer sees a body on the other side)

Summer: Y/n is that... Is that a Huntress?

(You and Summer enter the room and kneels down to examine the fallen Huntress. You place a hand on the fallen Huntresses shoulder. Summer takes out her scroll and uses it to scan the body)

This is Huntresses Vedrana Makovich. She's been offline for thirteen days. Cause of death is...

Y/n: What?

Summer: An enhanced energy blade. Who do you think has done this?

Y/n: We're going to find out.

(You stand back up and continue the journey through the Conservatory. Summer follows shortly. You two head through the Conservatory, killing any troops the both of you come across. At one point, come across a disabled door)

Summer: Hmmm. It looks like the demon kings followers and Grimm are trying to stop us moving forward.

Y/n: Can you open it?

Summer: Of course... If you can magic up a terminal of some kind. Or find an alternative power source to get this door open. I'll stay here and guard.

(Y/n searches around and finds a Power seed and inserts it into a nearby Crucible. The door opens)

There we go. Simple.

(You and Summer continue your way through the Conservatory, eventually coming across another disabled door)

Another disabled door. I'll say one thing for our foes. When they have an idea... they stick with it.

(After clearing out the enemies in the room, the you find a power seed and inserts it into a Crucible. The door remains shut)

Hmmm. It needs more power. Find another one.

(Suddenly reinforcements storm the room. After Summer deals with them, you locate another power seed and inserts it into a second Crucible. This time, the door opens)

And it's open. C'mon. Let's go before they get really creative.

(You and Summer proceed through the door and enters the next room, which is seemingly empty)

Wait... Do you hear that? It's coming from up ahead.

(You hear a muffled pounding noise coming from somewhere nearby. Spotting a terminal at the end of the room, Summer approaches it and quickly becomes aware whatever is making the noise is on the other side of the wall directly in front of her)

Y/n: Open it.

(Summer raises a hand, presses a button on the terminal. The wall, which turns out to be a blast shield covering a glass window, retracts upward. Light pours in from the enormous chamber on the other side of the glass. Although much of the chamber is obscured by a yellowish haze, you and Summer still immediately spot the source of the noise: A green-eyed Monitor frantically flying around, desperate to get their attention)
