The tunnel to the surface does not provide an angle for sunlight to reach down here and it takes the human and Elans' eyes time to adjust to the darkness as best they can. NR4ZN's damaged photoreptors attempt to adjust but nightvision and infrared spectrum scanning is offline.Firblain and Viktor remain ready, comfortable in the darkness.Weylan reaches out his hands and contacts the crystal. Instantly he feels a connection to a deep source of psychic power, an alien presence. Thoughts not his own flood into the elan's mind. He senses the three standing crystal pillars and how with a touch and manipulation to one of the correponding crystals on the panel they can be retracted into the floor, opened, rotated to be horizontal, or with a conscious mental action while in contact with the crystal, activated to create a stasis field for the occupant. He senses the two pillars retracted into the floor and the alien thoughts tell him how to raise them. He gets thoughts about three others that should be where the rubble is but no sense of the actual pillars themselves and the discontinuity is mentally jarring.</blockquote>
