"I'm not one who typically needs people to do things for her," she said turning on the light in the room. "The chamber, the large round vat. It opens in front, I need to be in, everything else is automatic."

"In you go..." He moved her into the chamber. "I'll wait outside for you, but please, take your time." Sinthos backed out of the chamber slowly, eying all the technology he was seeing.

"The chamber takes as long as it needs. The external is not bad but the internal is...extensive..." she said softly. "You do not have to wait, it may take some time."

Sinthos laid down next to the doors of the chamber and curled up, staring at the entrance to the dwelling and waiting for something to happen.
