Having finished your negotiations with the Robot, you step over and pick up the Flashlight.
Feels like it's been a long time since you could just look around in this darkness.

...the flashlight was "improved" and we wondered what was up with that.

You remember seeing some text about this thing being "improved."
As far as you can tell, though, it seems to be pretty much the same.
You guess it seems sturdier? Or like the light is a bit brighter?

You're not sure. If anything has changed, it's pretty subtle.

Ask directions for the nearby vicinity.

You've been meaning to take a look around the Dark Passage for a while, but you kept getting sidetracked.
You decide to take stock of your immediate surroundings, and ask the Robot about them.

Maybe they can open the door?

Hey, I've been wondering.
What's the deal with this door thing? What is it?

---

---

Gonna need a second to parse that one.
...can you open it, though?

---

Then... was there anything to the south-left?

As you ponder what those symbols might've meant, you check the other side of the Dark Passage.

To the... South? There's a lower area, with more natural stone formations.
There's not much sign of this being a Mine, rather than just a naturally-formed cave.
No obvious sign of anything worth mining for, either.





What's all this, though?
