After the debriefing Travis has laid out as asked, Felix surprisingly seemed more intrigued about their encounter with the golem and mused about the Paragon's observed functionality with fueling other spells aside from its natural abilities rather than the scuffle with Thadeus and his team. Travis couldn't help but wonder if Felix had any sort of hunch of Thadeus' eventual involvement with their operation or it was quite simply he had already figured the motive upon engaging Thadues and was focusing on other matters. Whichever the case may have been, it was then Felix waved Travis over to follow him and Travis did comply.

Felix and Travis came to a basement that Travis had recalled Artos taking temporary residence in before they departed for the Paragon of Espial. Stepping by what appeared to be a generator powered by mana crystals to which Travis briefly pondered how efficient the energy output the crystals could generate, Felix reached and and pulled on a mana torch which in turn resonated a series of mechanical clicking sounds. The undecorated wall adjacent to the false torch had then begun to shift and pull inward with a bright light casting out of the new entrance and a new flight of stairs. It was evident now to Travis that this was a secret room Felix was keeping hidden; but for what purpose?

Down the stars they went with Felix at the front and into very elaborate and complex laboratory, complete with a wide array of devices and tools necessary to test and create new magics. Or to study a newly obtained Paragon which Felix soon verified that the mana crystals constructed into the walls and other safeguards would prevent the Paragon's massive mana wave emissions from leave the residence. Travis quickly became eager to bring his own research equipment down to this new and productive environment to begin studying but remained firm for the moment in order to reply to Felix's query for his opinion of the installation.

"It brilliantly constructed." complemented Travis, "Far more efficient that what I had going in Mexico. I definitely look forward now in expanding my projects but I suppose the better question is; when do we start studying ol' Espial there?"
