There are support beams, ropes, ladders, stepladders, frameworks, exposed gears, gently glowing Fontech cores, anticollider converters, centrifugal balancers, aqua hypoconductors, you know, basic stuff. Some complex stuff, too.
There are a lot of engineers bustling away, all working on different projects. The space is open, so the workplaces aren't exactly roped off from each other, but you can see where each engineer is leaving their personal mark. Some have done a ton of work, some less, but most seem busy. And they don't seem to be working on just objects - they're working on the building itself, leaving each poriton of the building finished in different ways.
Most have their heads ducked, but the two in front of you may be familiar. An identical pair of redheads with green eyes! They aren't working on the same things - though some projects seem strewn inbetween the stations - but they're certainly next to each other.
It looks like you can explore the area. There are also doors to the north, south, east, and west, a 2nd level, and some kind of... pit... in the center.
This is one heck of a workshop. So much room for activities! And there are so many projects - some small on desks, some large and free-standing on the floor, each unique in design. Unlike the main room, the room itself seems complete, sturdy enough to be a bomb shelter and accommodating everything in here easily. The projects are all varying in form and function, some whirring with activity.
Each project has blueprints pinned up to the wall or in a roll at the floor, clearly labeled with a name. You may recognize the names, in fact, as people you've met. Or you.
You climb up some scaffolding and stairs to a room that's basically hanging from the ceiling, with a few windows overlooking the area. The door inside is simple, but locked with a complicated-looking lock.
... Right next to the locked door, however, is a bunch of cardkeys, hanging from a stand that's been forcibly stuck there. They're clearly labeled with multiple names, and there are a lot of them.]
ALL KINDS OF RED LIGHTS FLASH AND EVERY DOOR LOCKS DOWN COMPLETELY. The inventors all groan. Some just keep working, some move to strap a few things down.
[it's a long, long fall, it's dark, and it's full of junk. That is probably a painful, painful landing physically, let alone what the physical pain does - there's a mental halt you experience, body-freezing shock.]
A beautiful manor with stone-cobbled pathways is laid out before you. It's big but not intimidating, it's warm and the yard - and more impressively, the garden - is full of pretty lady servants, all eager to see you. "Welcome!" they chime. In front of you, and in front of the door that leads inside the manor, is a beautiful garden blooming with greenery and flowers. A balding gardener is working busily here, trimming roses.
There's also a young, beautiful noblewoman who looks remarkably like Guy - broad smile, blue eyes, long blond hair. She's sighing at the scene before her - two young boys, a chubby little blond trussed up like a noble child, who... looks much more like Guy. And a tanner, darker-haired boy in banner clothes - older than the little one, but still a child. He may also seem familiar, to those who know the member of Sapphire. The little one seems to be goading the elder into playing with him.
The ceiling is partially open up here, recently ripped open it looks like, to the sky - which is quite cloudy, but not raining. For being above such a heavily constructed workshop, this place is grassy, overgrown with weeds, ~bigger on the inside~ though still definitely "inside." There are a few simple, much more modest projects. Guy seems to be... doing chores. He's neatening the place up. Which is just as well, it's quite a mess - but there are bookshelves, paintings, furniture, all the trappings of a simple home open to the grass. There are boxes of growing flowers as well.
Another man is here, darkly tanned with shoulder-length blond hair, lounging in the corner and skritching a fat, large snouted animal with long ears. He looks up and notices you before Guy does.
The Jade Army leads you through a set of solid double doors, Malkuth's blue and silver banners flying, to... the heart of Sterling. It doesn't look much like the current building, far more like the building in Three's realm, with plenty of touches from Beauty's. There's food cooking, and plenty of comfortable places to sit.
"Please, make yourself at home. Everyone present is free to look around here. He'll be here shortly."
The manor is impressive as it is large, full of rich nobility, and a bit intimidating - it's easy to feel small, here. In fact, even if you're normally full of bravery, you may find yourself unsure. It's a little hard to move, not because of any physical presence, but a crawling feeling of insecurity. Your ability to make solid decisions is clouded - obviously you came here for a reason, but...
You can see a courtyard with flowers, two swords in the middle of a sparring field, and a hallway leading to three doors.

You start in a workshop. A very busy workshop.
