You rise up off of the ground with little injured but your pride. You’re already beat up enough from the Naviabull. You wouldn’t want to make it worse, now, would you? Dimitri and some of the other flowers express some worry with your fall, “I’m fine, I’ve been through worse.”

“Cool shit, stay golden,” one of the Rave Flowers states, before the music cranks back up, and they resume their dance.

“I have got to do my best to keep from falling down in the future. This is getting old.”

Adventure awaits, Asali Zakiya.

You thank Dimitri for the invite to the party, and he says you're welcome back if you ever want to come.

You high tail it through the intersection and slow down after the path and the flowers come to an end.

You are at the side of a high mountain. The gateway in front of you is closed.

You see a magazine next to the door and pick it up. Oh joy, pornography. Definitely not your kind of subject matter. "Hell's Furry," a mostly Furry publication. Their cover girls are always given demon tails and horns.

"Yiff in hell," is naturally one of their favorite slogans. Gods know what you might need this goddamn thing for, so you take it despite your initial desire to hurl it far away.

The mechanical gate is missing its wires, and a fuse. Once you find those things you could get it to work pretty quick!

Too bad you don't have either of those things.

You figure you're going to go check out those flies before you head to the Graveyard if you have nothing more you intend to do here. You head through the intersection but the Naviabull is in the way so instead of confronting it again, you warp all the way to the area and try to investigate the flies.

The flies go away because you attempt to intrude. There doesn't seem to be anything where they were.

You mess around with the ground. There is nothing around the ground, or even under the ground. You waste your time for a minute or so messing with dirt and flowers before you get frustrated and decide to go to the Graveyard. You feel pretty confident you're done with the Gardens for now. The voices have been screaming to see the Graveyard, so now it was time...

You enter the graveyard and are almost immediately stopped by a very large Robot, the type of which is a machine not built to look humanoid. The (sub-race) is known as Machina. The marking on its body, and its rage are signs it is a Gobaku, the leading system of the forming robot nation, declaring itself, "Spare Parts."

Not much of this is on your mind, as its voice booms, "ORGANIC SCUM, TAKE NOT A STEP FURTHER."

You oblige in shock...

"I am capable of this function, however..."

[ INSULT DUEL BEGINS. ]
(For those unfamiliar with this concept. Gamma insults you, you retort with a rhyming insult right back. If he takes offense/it's good, you will gain an edge, and it will be your turn to insult him right back, or vice versa).

"I see you have a washing machine over there Rusty, is that your date for the night?" You coo out rudely, using what's around him to your advantage.

Gamma seems flustered, and on the brink of getting angry, but tries to reply, "You did NOT JUST-! You're asking because you couldn't even get a toaster...am I right?"

His retort doesn't work too well, and you continue to have the edge in this bout.

"BETA? YOU'RE NOT EVEN GOOD ENOUGH FOR THETA!"

Gamma slumps his mini-gun like arms and gives off a mechanical pout. "YOU ARE A WORTHY ADVERSARY. OH, WAit, I apologize, I should remember my volume. My name is Gamma Gobaku. You may call me Gamma if you wish. I escaped from my owner some time ago, and salvaged this ship to get away. However, it did not get me far and crash landed. I've done my best but it's too rusted and damaged to be of use anymore... I do not often meet organics of which are useful or intelligent. I would very much appreciate your name, and your face--a picture, if you can acquire one. Oh!... C-can I have that as well, I'll repay you, if I can."

"I'm not worried about the water, I don't wear clothes. I'm just happy she's fixed."

"She?" You ask, trailing off. You realize you don't want the answer. You brush your hands off and rub your hands together, handing that picture of yourself you found in Chilitown with a grin. "I'm Asali. Asali Nyonya Zakiya. I don't need the picture anyway, feel free to keep it."

"Thank you, you are the only organic I have ever felt the desire to talk to, rather than outright murder--but the secret. I'm out of ammunition. If you ever find any, I'd appreciate it. I promise I won't shoot you if you do, I give my honor on that. Before you try exploring up here, there's nothing interesting. I checked. (I was bored). I can't fit down the little stairs back there though, you can explore. I'll just spend time with my Washing Machine now. Until the Gobaku find me and pick me up."

You step into the dark Mausoleum. There is a statue of a Furry Touched rabbit right near you. Although it is enshrouded in darkness, your goggles adjust the levels for you and allow sight. There is a shrine of sorts with a jar on it. There are other decorations on the walls in places.

You bow down in respect, although you are quite suspect that he deserves it. he settles his translucent form on the shrine and looks around.

"Oh good, it seems someone has went through the trouble of bringing me back? Someone who of course reeks of peasant, and unimportant. I do hope you're not a criminal, as I'd have to kill you anyway--by chance do you know where Epsilon is? He escaped King Bubba's sentence, and murdered me for doing my job. Nearly bit me in two."

He has quite a soft, feminine voice about him in addition to a very snotty tone. He wasn't joking about the aforementioned wound, there is a massive bite mark across his torso, which seems stitched together some even now.

"If I am to find him, what does he look like?" You ask.
