Who could possibly be capable of this level of destruction?

Of course, there was a golem guarding the room, and its remnants were scattered here and there around the room.
All of them had been destroyed beyond recognition.

There are at least ten of them.
Eleven of them, to be exact. One of them seems to be a little more broken than the others.

If the control core was intact, we would know what happened.
But that hope is gone.

The thorax, where the control core was located, was crushed into pieces.
It would have to be a very different performance level to destroy it.

Hmmm. It would have to be at least 3x ...... or even 5x ...... more powerful.

But it wasn't that little automaton that did it.
I suppose that's true. This room had been unoccupied for at least several months before we arrived.

The air conditioning was damaged in the aftermath of the battle, so there is dust on the floor.
The amount of dust was inferred from the amount of air conditioning.

That's true.

That implies, in a way, that there is a great danger.

The two of them consider a way out, but they can't come up with a good idea.

First, let's gather some more information.
That seems to be a good idea.

The two of them decide to first survey the floor from top to bottom.
They are looking for anything that they might have missed or any traces of information that they might be able to get.

Mm. It would have to be a deeper, more penetrating wound.

Shall we go one level higher?
No, let's go to the mining section. It's closer to the base, but it's a different environment than the one in the base, so there might be other clues left.
I see. I'll do that.
