The butler was not there to accompany him when he exited the hangar. The staircase was his alone to traverse. Despite the absence of the butler, it was still nearly impossible to explore, as the house stubbornly kept him away from restricted areas. He yanked on a few more doors as he walked down the hallway, but the results were the same as before.

Entering his room, he began a thorough search. He overturned the furniture, tapped the walls, clawed at the tiles, ran scans from his utiphone, but couldn’t find any way to access the mainframe that must be controlling the house. The house had to be some sort of elaborate computer program. He turned around in a circle, breathing heavily, but the room was completely ordinary, other than the fact that it could be rearranged by Kira’s whim.

He snapped open the curtains and a spectacular sunset greeted him. The sight did nothing to ease him. Below him, the alien planet unfolded and he wondered how far Kira’s control extended, if the rest of this world was just as the mansion was.

Iguru gripped the rail, even as the sky grew purple. Tightening his grip, he pushed upwards and flung his leg over the railing. He swung the rest of his body over and then, with a glance at the ground, dropped. It was not a terribly long fall and he landed easily, rolling into the trees.

The trees were droopy, with bark that looked like it was melting, and the trunks rebounded like rubber when he knocked into them. The house rose above him, resplendent with ashlar blocks twisted into towers and spires, with a steeply-pitched roof. It didn’t look like a hologram. Iguru placed a hand against one of the blocks, but it felt solid.

Only the foundation differed from the rest of the construction. These blocks were larger and less clean-cut; they were darker and had a different grain. They weren’t as pristine or well kept, either; mildew and weeds overtook most of the bottom blocks. He circled the mansion, but nothing happened. No weapons or fences activated, the entire house remained resplendent and restful. From what he could see, the mansion lacked a front door and a place for vehicles to park. Either Kira could vanish the door as needed, or the only way in and out was through the docking hoop.

He squinted into the sky at the docking hoop hovering overhead. It was not like the rest of the mansion, gleaming and new, it was like the foundation: old and a leftover from a less glamorous era.

Activating his utiphone light, Iguru left the mansion and walked into the forest. The sun caressed the horizon and the entire sky was tinted a dark, deep red. His light illuminated strange, flighty creatures that darted through the maroon-like dark, and giant bugs that crawled slowly over stone and sand. He kept his hands
