I inject an Insta-Heal into myself and groan as I felt my bones and skin being to stretch and twist. I let out a soft moan as the pain instantly disappeared, I felt the wound in my leg seal itself shut as I got back up. I stared at my Inventory of Insta-heals. I got what I came here for, but this would be for nothing if I can't get out of here. It's nice to have Insta-heals again it was a pain having to rely on potions to heal, they work but they don't heal injuries like burn marks, stab wounds, or limbs. My eyes widened as I lift my right hand and look at my right hand with excitement, I waited for something to happen to my prosthetic thumb. I let out a loud disappointed sigh as my prosthetic wasn't replaced with a thumb made of flesh. I look towards Retribution laying on the platform behind me. I take in a deep breath and sprint and jump to the platform.

I grab and put Retribution and put it into my Inventory. My body cringed from the sound of stones grinding against each other. I quickly turn around and take out Tribute. I rest my finger on the trigger, a block of stone was now resting in the middle of the pillar that was in the middle of the room. I store Tribute in my Inventory and jump to the center podium. I walk up to the stone box and rest my hands on top of the stone. I raise my eyebrow at the gun-shaped craving on the box. I flinched at the sudden appearance of a box hovering in front of my face.

I take out Tribute and raise an eyebrow. I have no issue with the way Tribute is right now. I notice in the corner of my eye a darkly lit hallway. I don't think I have to do this either, I could probably just skip it. Those rewards are kind of tempting though, it is an easy way to get a quick upgrade to Vit but I have no idea what I'm going to have to do in the quest. The upgrade to Tribute might be worth it though, plus I have a chance of getting a new weapon. I tap my foot and click accept. I nervously place Tribute into the gun-shaped craving.

Tribute fit perfectly into the hole; the stone slowly sunk back into the pillar as the pillar began to sink into the ground. I spread my feet and crouch low to the ground as the pillar shook with dust falling off the sides.

The pillar sunk for a bit before the other pillars around me suddenly disappeared, all that was left was a small room with a box sitting in the middle of the room. On the opposite side of the room was a tall, slim robot standing still with its head looking down at the ground. The robot was painted a coffee-colored brown, it had streaks of dark red running down its arms and legs, the robot's shoulders had tiny spikes sticking out towards its sides. The robot lifted its head to reveal its dark penetrating gaze of red. I stared at the long, brown hammer in his hands. The hammer had intricate patterns colored yellow running down the hilt. On the head of the hammer were red bright lights on its sides. I notice a lever on the wall behind the robot.
