It was a black and desolate area. The roads were completely flat, slightly transparent platforms and were gray, the only other color in the space being the absolutely blinding flow of matter, data, and light itself around the edges of the Server towards a fixed, black point at its center.
There was an evident presence of intense gravity in the space around them, making Ten's presence here nigh insufferable. Like she would easily be torn apart by the weakest of interactions.
Now was a large, gray platform, amid a massive expanse. Crisscrossing roads of black and grey branched out, rose from, and bent away from this central platform in all directions, rising up and stretching around one another to create an intricate lattice. If given the time, exploring this expansive Server would be quite the task without getting lost. Even now, staring at the edges of her vision, it seemed as though the expanse was getting farther away.
Below, fathomless darkness that descended without end, every now and again a bright flash moving past her in the void beneath. Above and around, what looked like streams of data flowed from every angle, passing overhead and around the platform, traveling in an arc to give the sense that the Server around them was in motion - like they were orbiting something. Just like one could move on Earth without being impacted by that orbit, their platform seemed to stand still in respect to them, the rest of the Server in motion. Impossibly large shadows passing overhead gave the impression of something much larger floating about inside the void, just out of sight.

The pressure in the space, the design of what she had found, the intensity of where she was - Ten was in a place for elites, for the experienced, and for the capable. She was may things, but an elite, she was not; this wave space had an intense pressure to it that made her instantly feel dwarfed and estranged, like one wrong move would rip her up and carry her away.
She let the metal of her suit relax, dropping her hair back over her shoulders, and breathed in the crisp intensity of the wave space, the Noise that filtered through the air. She was lucky to have gotten this far - she couldn't risk anything less that her absolute best, here.
She wasn't fully sure where to start, the Server rotating around her constantly as she watched it. She dared a single step forward, willing her natural abilities to absorb the intense Noise in the space, meeting it with her natural frequency to cancel the Noise and purify it back into wave information for her to manipulate and use to empower herself. She supposed all she could do was push her strength to its limits, see what kind of power she could acquire here, and dare to be more than her father presumed she could be.
One step forward. Two. Each one more insufferable than the last, and not a one of the crisscrossing pathways felt like they were closer than when she began.

Doing her absolute best to progress, to persist, to not be ripped apart, was all she had available to her here. Doing her best with the abilities she was provided in an area of expertise that dwarfed the understanding of her peers and forebears was something that Ten would have to try to prevail at. But while she was giving her absolute best to survive, she was still moving practically nowhere. No paths grew closer to her, her control over them and herself nearly inconsequential to the grand scheme of things.
What did change in what would perhaps be her perpetuity until she slipped and was torn apart were the sounds of heavy movements. Machines from the sounds of it. She was no longer alone here, and no way to not engage whatever was coming to meet her here. All she could do now was prepare to weather the storm on top of the harrowing battlefield conditions she found herself in.
They will soon encroach upon this battlefield.

As she continued to push, she heard the shifting machines and the rumbling sounds of something moving through the darkness towards her. Ten grimaced in worry, not even a little bit adapted to the environment yet, and not even close to feeling competent enough to handle this on her own.
Impulsive curiosity, naive bravery, and inexperienced hopefulness made her think that, no matter what she found, a level head and a careful attitude would get her through it. What was careful about plunging into a black hole? Even so far flung, her father's haunting shadow followed her, and here she was, plunging into something with that very same phrase in her mind. She wanted to find a new one, here.
Couldn't she learn to be more for herself, and not for him?
She lifted her face up from the crushing weight and grit her teeth, pushing her hair out of her face as she willed herself up and forward once again. Regardless of what pushed her to make the decision, she had made it, and now, she would make good of it, on her own terms. Maybe, this far away, she could make something new of herself. Maybe, she kept telling herself, her own naivety hadn't gotten her deleted.
. . . This was fear, then. She was terrified. She had at least caught herself in it, and knew what led her to make this decision. Now, she would need to find herself a way to survive, so that she could learn from it.
She willed herself to stand tall.

Her stand was something that seemed harmless at first, but harmful just the same. Strange machines of differing designs akin to a moth and a face came up upon her, the moths sprinkling a paralyzing dust upon her while the face-like beings hovered about the field, as the pressure of the terrain truly began kicking in against her. A battle that would be unlike anything she experienced before, but would have to work her way through either way.
Set:
Gravity Panels Spatial Element ° All entities with Panel Immunity are grounded for 1 turn when these panels are set. This affects foes with Panel Master that are not also Titans. ° All Attacks without an Omni-Aimer of the user's choice (chosen upon set) are treated as having no aimers. Fully Undodgeable, selected. ° All entities drop to 1 Attack Slot upon being set. Each turn the panels are active, they regain 1 total Attack Slot. ° All avoidances can only avoid 1 Attack upon being set. Each turn the panels are active, avoidances with multiple avoids can avoid 1 additional attack, up to their inherent maximum. ° While active, damage based on a percentage of a target's health cannot be restored by any means, and any immunities to such damage are lost. ° These panels cannot be set if they are already active. Locked into place on first turn set.

Silent Ten
The crushing weight was all she could do to stand as the strange robotic figures arrived. Despite the intense weight, she found the strength to push speed and energy through her systems, creating a series of energy barriers between her and the flashes of electricity from the moths.
Then, she used what left over energy she had to surge her own systems, pushing past the weight of the gravity to unleash a series of metal lashes into the air, striking from afar to avoid the face for now.

The metal lash managed to strike as she avoided the moths, striking two down. She felt then that she barely held any control over it as well, likely to lose it here and there from the pressure around her. The attacks continued, as while their numbers had dwindled she still had a ways to go before she could be free to progress.

Her enemies were already acclimated to the pressure, and she could barely stand. Gritting her teeth, she let the force of the area pull her down to the platform as she focused her energy, pulling in her power to keep the black hole from tearing it away from her.

The sound of more approaching was made apparent, as it was clear that she would be having company soon alongside the ones that remained. As she acclimated, she would perhaps have time enough to deal with the moths. But it also seemed as if soon enough, the gravity and pressure would intensify and force her down yet again.

Silent Ten
Knowing that her time was limited, she had to keep her wits about her. Ten used her energy to pick up the pace for now, flooding herself with excess Noise and causing it to erupt into regular waves as she dashed towards her enemies. She weaved around their attacks and delivered backlash of her own.

Her quick assault managed to lay waste to the ones surrounding her in the fight for now as the pressure renewed, a new set appearing before her. One set that equated to a floating eye with a fan beneath it, hovering at its target with the intent of blowing itself up on the target in question. The others were much larger, but unseen at first. What gave them away were the bombs they dropped from above, something akin to spiders clinging to the floating debris that was passing by above her.

It was all she could do to just stay standing. She carefully weaved around the first of the explosions, and then threw caution to the wind, willing herself to take the brunt of the other explosions for now just to save up her reserves for later.

The spiders would jump down from their position, a necessity almost given the nature of the place. It meant that they wouldn't be attacking again for the time being, as the bombs from above was their main offensive besides tackling someone with their weight and size. But it was a brief reprieve in the fight for her all the same.

The strikes ravaged the spiders before the seismic wave swept them away while she would have to deal with the backlash of her own attack as well. Still, the deed was done and the battle was won for the time being. While she could catch a breath of air for a moment, that thought would likely leave her mind when she could recognize a familiar signature. One that she thought about often, one of the ones she failed to leave up to. The giant that looked down on those with their meager battle powers. She had yet to reach a place that he had not, it seemed. But was that ominous news or fortunate?
