 Darwol 

You manage to leave the huge creature undisturbed. The tunnel you travel through is short, and you soon come out into a larger chamber, about 40 metres across and 60 metres high.

You are on a wide ledge that circles right around the wall of the chamber. The ledge almost seems to be host to some sort of market, crowded with people mingling and communicating. There are various piles of items and displays of pages of writing, as well as other things that you can't so easily identify, such as random brass-coloured cylinders (there are quite a few of those, many being handled by species similar to Skrax or Astatines).

In the centre of the chamber is a pile of viscous black slime, like tar. It bubbles occasionally and sometimes even sprays some goop into the air. Most of the dim light in the chamber is provided by a combination of artificial lighting and luminescant life similar to fungi.

 Wanraknasdan 

The creature is about 5 feet tall. It has a slightly ostrich-like body, but covered in a huge mass of fluffy yellow down. It has powerful, grey, scaly legs with disproportionately large clawed feet. Most of the front of the head is taken up by a large, wrinkly snout; at first it looks like the creature has no mouth, but you see that the skin of the snout hangs off a pointed, almost-hidden grey-brown beak. The part of the head that draws your attention the most is a lage cranium that looks like cauliflower, covered in pits and holes. The creature speaks, in your own language,

"Thank you."

 DreadVolt 

After a long journey through the bowels of the torus, you arrive in a large, clinical-looking room (a medical laboratory, perhaps?). The only other presence is a Sceen (big blue crab), standing in the middle of the room doing nothing in-particular; in typical Sceen fashion he wears no clothes.

Your attention is drawn to a large screen displaying a complex network of interconnecting lines of different colours. The two Astatines take their full-body clothing. They look like faceless squids with dry, white plastic skin (this is very unusual for Astatines, who are meant to have very dark, irregular skin).

The Sceen doesn't seem to have noticed you, and the Astatines don't look like they're about to do anything either.
