Upon exiting I am already given a sign that captures my eyes before anything else, as it lies directly in front of the newly made door, painted white onto the black wall it resides on.

THE WAY HOME

<~~~~~~~~~

With an accompanying arrow beneath it that points left.

My eyes naturally follow in the direction of it, only to find a wall.

Well, looks like Boundary wasn’t the only thing that's broken around here.

I have no idea what Home is, since I suppose I was just born, I can only guess if I follow this I will find the inhabitants of this home. Hopefully not these algorithms that just break randomly.

I pull up my bracelet trying to find the make an exit option again, only to realize my error after a couple minutes of searching.

The option was only made available to me when I was really stuck, wasn't it.

Probably for the best as well, since I was likely just gonna keep making holes until the well broke or I got to my destination.

I look up from the bracelet, to look at the not walled-off section to find more hallway, and I walk down in the only direction available to me. Noticing thick wires hanging from the ceiling or taking residence in the corners of the hall. I reach an intersection of sorts and search for any signs. Not seeming to find anything I wandered into the centre of the pathways, and lights began to engulf each pathway. they appear to be made entirely of light. Approaching the walls I wave my hand through them, feeling a slight buzzing in my hands but not really harmful. Backing up to the centre once more to notice that the walls of light have writing on them.

I look at the one with a visible dead end as that sign appears to made of a bright yellow checkered in with black.

UNDER CONSTRUCTION

Please be patient

A wall was constructed here to protect you from the vacuum. Once a unit is constructed, the wall will be removed and a proper sign will be added.

I begin to read the other not so annoyingly bright signs that have appeared.

To Layer 16180

Lots of layers it seems, at the very least I got a bearing that I must be on the next sequence of layer and I just need to go down from this number from now on if I wish to transverse between layers and not get lost.

To Laboratory unit

That must be where the AI did the light show test on me. I honestly don’t see a reason to go over there, because if the AI couldn’t find my origins I doubt I could using the equipment there.

After making my decision, I will begin my descent through the layers. Hopefully, I’ll find the AI on my way down, or more likely, it will find me. Putting one foot in front of the other as I make my way to the next layer, the corridor continues to have the same look no matter how far I keep walking. The wires are getting more abundant and thicker as I continue forth, as the hall itself slowly gets swallowed by wires, but seemingly and carefully placed, that the ground is still clear to walk on. Presenting, a seemingly endless hallway with no visible end as I can only continue to walk. The only sounds were my suit rubbing against itself and my footsteps echoing along the walls and back into my ears, creating a calming rhythm and beat to walk to.

Almost hypnotic, as a lulling feeling begins to flood my body. Like a liquid that begins to rise slowly up my body. Starting from my feet and feeling its way up my body, I feel that something is missing inside me; certain feelings that should arise when faced with such an endless hallway, yet the lull as my mind begins to slow down, as much is not needed in this endless hallway of wires.
