Hitan listened for a bit before starting up the ladder, glad it didn't creak.

The ladder was as lengthy as before and, as one might have presumed, nothing was there. Hitan had to stop momentarily at the top to unlock and recode the landform there, though, and then he stepped out, looking around warily.

Nothing.
