Under the palace

A few days ago, I described the Vuduri Palace within their compound on Deucado from the second part of Rome's Revolution. It was very ostentatious because the Vuduri there wanted to impress or maybe depress the locals with its opulence.

However, the Vuduri themselves do not care about wealth or luxury. We see this as soon as Rome and Rei are escorted one floor down away from the "public" area. Supposedly, this would be a section of the building where the Ibbrassati would never go:

     Two guards came and took up positions in the doorway. Pegus stood up and came around to the other side of the desk and motioned to Rei and Rome to follow him. They were led out of the office and to the left. The guards fell in behind them. Rei and Rome followed Pegus down a hallway that had pastel walls and a regular assortment of small pedestals with busts and statuettes. At the end of the hallway, a doorway opened up but it was not to another room but rather to an elevator.
     Once the five people were inside, the doors closed and there was the tiniest vibration that told Rei they were moving. However, owing to the advanced nature of the Vuduri’s mastery of magnetics and gravity, Rei could not tell if they were going up or down. At last, the door opened again and they were escorted along a long white hallway made of the standard Vuduri aerogel foam. They passed door after door after door until they came to a room that looked like a medical suite. The room was completely white with a table and several racks full of monitoring equipment right next to it. Inside stood two technicians each wearing a standard issue Vuduri white jumpsuit.

Pretty boring, huh? But then the Vuduri always were across the universe of Rome's Revolution. It took Reinard Beirak to arrive and liven things up.
