Ilia had been busy inspecting some of the more antiquated pieces of weaponry that she had hardly noticed Gamzee had picked his own out of the choices allowed them. There was a pretty nice caestus on one of the armored suits that had caught her eye. She had only started to reach out to touch it when suddenly all the armored suits melted away into nothingness. "Wha..."

She turned to see Rose rushing for the doorway. Gamzee already seemed to have moved on and it looked like Ilia was going to be left behind!

"Coming!" Ilia sprinted through the door and heard the click as it sealed itself behind her. The bright, wide space that greeted her sights was not what she had expected down here under the institute. Then again, the ballroom wasn't all that expected either.

She should have known better than to expect physics to come into play down here after that Sphinx.
