"What passes for night around here anyway. It is always good to have that separation and I wouldn't mind in the least, I do rather enjoy the nights you spend here," She replies with a soft grin.

"I make an effort to make sure you do!" He chuckled, then sighed contentedly, letting some of the tension in his chest go.

"So what's you next project?" She wasn't any better than him at standing still for a moment, after all.

"A shared effort if any," She chuckles in turn and draws him into a close if gentle hug.

"The Gateway system still needs a few minor adjustments before it's ready for proper testing, had to realign a few of the emitter crystals after integrating the power supply," She nodded across to the Paired gateway system where it lay in the center of the room, "A few other projects and ideas come to mind though, constructing a detailed map of the city being one such idea,"

"Hmm. After finding the tower, I'm not necessarily sure it's a good idea to do it all at once," he said. "What we really ought to do is send out exploration teams that are ready to analyze anything we find and make a determination about it. To keep people from going to poke things that aren't safe, when they think they know better."

"A fair point, though the further out one goes the less likely one is going to reach it on foot without a considerable amount of time walking," She comments with a chuckle, "What I am thinking of is a map detailing buildings and landmarks from the air, that way, points of interest can then be sent out to explore, indeed, given the buildings here are from the worlds of those on board, it would give a greater chance for those awake to recognize such a building where I by myself may pass over it,"

"I can show you what I have from my casual flights if you'd like?"

"Of course I'd like that," he said with a grin. "You're probably the person best suited to exploring, considering you can fly, know magic, and technology."

He was proud -- to a certain of extent of her, and more generally that she had ever taken notice of him.

"Through to the study then," She replied with a grin, a little kiss given to his cheek, "Without full knowledge of others worlds I can easily miss buildings and areas of import to others though,"

With a warm smile though she pulled back from the hug and took his hand, leading him through to the study, the crystals within still active and displaying their bookshelves, a few books strewn open about. With a wave of a hand they faded, leading them to the center of the array of knowledge crystals she gave a gesture and a thought, a floating slowly spinning holographic image of the city springing to view to fill the room.

From the Transport tubes that rose through to the ceiling, near the entire currently 'explored by crew' area had been mapped out, each building clearly identifiable. Further out from those areas, smaller blocks of the city were mapped, the unmapped areas of the city left hazy, though the shape of the entire city was shown in its entire oval.

He had to admit she had style. And he loved that.

Studying the map, he lifted one hand and traced a small swath from the explored areas in an arc out to where he'd discovered the Tower of High Sorcery. "There are no obvious magical emanations there. For what little that's worth, I can rule that out at least, having traversed that area.

Celena watched as he studied the map, with a gesture she brought up an overlay that highlighted buildings of interest from those that had been noted on the Omnicomm map and those she had been noted by others. She gave a nod and had the overlay shade the area he indicated with a gentle red to indicate magic in that arc.

Thinking on where he had noted the Tower to be on the Omnicomm she placed a marker over the location given, at the very edge of one of her explored areas a structure that was but an a vague outline of a large building with twin towers rising from its base. Looking across to Aibghalien as she gestured to the indicated location and building, "That is the correct location of the tower, yes?" She asked in confirmation.

He nodded, folding his arms as he considered the map. "And neutralizing that is going to take me I don't know how long. The question is, who else can we rely on to explore capably?"

She nodded before tilting her head thoughtfully, "Neutralizing the tower?" She asked with some interest before pondering his question a moment, "Ronnae I believe expressed interest in exploration, I will keep an eye and ear out for others perhaps though,"

"Sanitize? I need to make sure that no one entering it comes to any harm, whether it be by dispelling protections or simply categorizing the places that would be harmful to anyone for any reason and making certain the appropriate wards and protections are in place." He rubbed his forehead and temples with one hand, aware of the magnitude of the task.

"Ronnae is helpful but only one person. We need a decent survey..."

"That's fair enough, perhaps best to categorize the places, generally such things are put in place for a reason, best to ascertain the reason behind such dangers," She replied after a moment of thought. Not that she doubted that he would let such things get in the way of finding what was contained there.

"Indeed, but one is a start, I shall keep an eye out for those who might be suited and ask around," Celena replied easily as she stepped over to him, placing a light comforting hand on his back, peering over his shoulder toward the very edge, the wall that made the edge of the city and the gates to that made the points of the compass, those she had seen only from afar given the distances involved. "I can only wonder what else lies waiting for us in this city and what lies beyond it yet,"

"It's amazing that with the entirety of the cosmos out there, half our greatest mysteries are just within this ship."

He laughed, leaning gently into her. "So tell me. What do dragons do for relaxation? You always seem just as busy as I am."
