The following account was recorded in the agent's log during your transmission: Uh, crimson sunlight seeps through the lattice-like windows of a dilapidated, Gothic-inspired orrery, its concentric globes and gears eerily still amidst a gentle snowfall that fills the air with the scent of damp earth and wet metal. Umm, silvery condensation drips from delicate etchings depicting ancient alchemical processes, like Nicolas Flamel's alleged technique for manufacturing the Philosopher's Stone. Outside, the atmosphere feels heavy with ozone, and water appears to be draining upwards into the sky, creating swirling eddies in the clouds like wispy, liquid spires. The air's unnervingly quiet.
