Yuma Robotics HQ, Central Dome, New Astarte, Planet Yuma, Coronado
late evening, 3 Aug. 824 A.S.
Some drone-dodging later, as it was getting late, Erik finally took his guests to the elevator once more. After it began ascending, however, he started speaking. "Well, kids..." - he applied the appellative to everyone, including Doreen, as he glanced at all of them with a smile - "I hope you enjoyed the tour." He paused, looked at his son and continued "Peter, I had some of your toys brought over from home to my office. You think you and Ben can have some fun on your own while?"
As he shifted his eyes to Doreen, he added "As I mentioned before, it would be best if we left them at the top of the tower for the rest of the evening. Don't worry, it's perfectly safe." he chuckled momentarily and finished with "There are no drones in my office."
Peter added a comment of his own, full of excitement after hearing about his toys, "Oh, that's gonna be fun." He then turned to Ben and said "Wait 'til you see my chess set."
The elevator stopped, its speakers beeping the floor number, and Erik kept the door open for the children to go into the office. From the doorway, it could be seen through the far windows that night had already set on this side of Yuma, but the room was well-lit.
