We stand in front of an enormous flight of stairs in the Portal Network.
"Wow. That is... that's a lot of stairs." Lukas said.
"Yeah, you tell me," I said.
"And all revealed by the Redstone Heart. Amazing." Ivor said.
"Yeah. Not bad, right?" Harper questioned.
Stampy takes the Redstone Heart from the wall as we make our way up the flight of stairs.
"(Sigh) Feels like just yesterday we were building this place. Still don't agree with some of the aesthetic choices. Very odd to be back." Harper said.
"Boy, you just love being mysterious, don't you? Is that like your favorite thing?" I asked.
"What? I don't know what you're talking about. I just try not to think about this place very often. Kinda thought I'd never need to come back, to tell you the truth." Harper replied.
"Ooh, I'm sensing a story here." Petra said.
"Me too," Stacy said.
"I... guess you could say that." Harper said.
"What are you hiding from us now, Harper?" Jessica asked.
"Nothing! Nothing. Well... almost nothing. Just... the others might not be 100% happy to see me." Harper replied.
""Others?" You mean we're going to meet MORE Old Builders?" Ivor asked in shock.
"Still don't like it when you call us that. Yep, but I gotta warn you... they're not as friendly as I am. I'm probably the, uh, nicest Old Builder." Harper replied.
"Old Builder social politics... my goodness." Blaze said.
"Hey, I'm just glad you're on our side. Old Builder or not, you've been pretty cool." Jesse said.
"Well, thank you, Jesse. I hope I can keep living up to that." Harper said.
"Well, you're gonna give us the Atlas and then we can go home, right?" Lukas asked.
"Kiiiind of... the Atlas isn't exactly mine to give. It belongs to the other "Old Builders." And, well... they might not want to give it up." Harper replied as everyone stared at her.
"Why do I get the feeling there's a lot you're not telling us?" Lizzie asked.
"Good instincts?" Harper replied.
"If they don't want to give it up, then I guess we'll just have to take it." Dan said.
"Don't get too hasty on me, now. If you play your cards right, they should *give* you the Atlas." Harper said.
"What do you mean?" Tails asked.
"You'll see when you get there." Harper replied.
"Jessica, come here. Are you sure we can trust Harper? Look at all of our interactions with her so far. They haven't exactly been great, remember?" Lukas asked.
"No, I think she's definitely hiding something. But if we're going to get home, we need her help." Jessica replied.
"Agreed." Lukas said.
"Don't worry, okay? We're going to get that Atlas and get home." Jessica said.
"I'm sorry to hear you feel that way, Jessica. Sorry. I just couldn't resist a good eavesdrop. I promise you both, I am trying to help." Harper said.
The group reach the top of the stairs and approach a door at the end of the platform.
"You just gotta go through there." Harper said.
