[Switch off the labyrinth and check the network proper on any one of the terminals, and you shall be greeted by the stern, stoic face of one Princess of Hyrule. She looks somewhat tired, like she hasn't had a good night's sleep, but even so, there is a tranquil sort of absolute fury in her eyes.]

Is it possible to access the locked elevator without the clear- or red-collared workers' "assistance"?

[... She's quiet, chewing on her lip and mentally debating whether or not she should confide in him about her nightmare.

She settles for an impersonal half-explanation.]

... I have reason to believe "sponsoring" those within the labyrinth has a price.

.............................whoops

[That got a look of curiosity. He knew of the sponsoring, but he had never been able to do it himself. He hadn't spent much time watching the labyrinth aside from with the Princess.]

What price might this be?

Well, it is Zelda's /Lullaby/. |Da

[She raises one of her hands, cupping it slightly as if she were holding something in it. But no matter how hard she tries, she just cannot summon anything.]

They have taken away my magic. I do not know for how long, but I can only imagine that the more on sponsors, the longer they must go without their abilities.

[Pausing then, she closes her fingers into a fist, jaw tightening as she thinks about the other half of the cost of sponsorship.]

And... my sleep last night was far from restful. I was plagued with a horrible nightmare that felt far too real to be a mere creation of my own mind...

hush little princess don't say a wooorrrdd

[lookmanostrings]

[His brows raised a little at this news; it would have been foolish to think the sponsorships came at no cost, but to think of the forces that could pull this off...!]

...It would seem those that rule are able to intrude on the mental realm as well then. [That'd be concerning even everything else aside.]

I will not pry into these visions you've had-- [Though he certainly has a concerned frown--] and perhaps it is pointless to ask you not to be disheartened, but that is truly all I an advise, other than caution. If our enemies have this ability, it's not a far jump to think they might use this to demoralize, rather than simply slaughter outright.
