8: Canal, Waste Channels
Metal pipes that project over the back side of the ziggurat to expel waste. A long way down.
Strange fungi grow in the pipes.
9: Canal, Coolant Channels
Filled with crimson, phosphorescent water.
(!) Immersion sickens over time. Drinking sickens rapidly.
(?) Water is heated by the Heart, which drives the turbine blades that drive the machinery in the Automat and charge the alcoves. Hot water expands into the blades, flowing in a circular motion.
10: Canal, Turbine Blades
(!) Being thrown into the spinning blades is unlikely to end well.
(?) Venting the canals stops the flow.
11: Canal, Heart Exchange
(!) Here, where the canal wraps around the heart chamber, the water/air is dangerously hot.
(?) Before the spiral: a metal door to the heart antechamber, which can be opened if the canal has been drained.
12: Canal, Water Spout
(?) Brass wheel above the canal opens the spout, flooding the canal. It takes several hours to fill.
13: Heart Antechamber
(!) The round heart chamber radiates waves of intense heat.
Visible through the adamant wall of the heart chamber: the blazing heart of a dragon.
(!?) The metal door to the chamber is too hot to touch.
14: Heart Chamber
(!) To enter without protection is fiery death.
