The machinery in the chamber starts moving, though how it works is still yet unknown to you.

The red and white pony calling herself Faust, the sole beacon of sanity in this land of madness, flinches slightly. You have no idea how it feels to be connected to all the wiring, but judging from her winces it isn't very pleasant.

You can hear an alarm in the distance. The sea ponies will not like this.

Faust steps off the platform. She is now larger than any of you, her frame fitting a Princess. Her horn stops glowing, and the faint surge of power all of you felt ceases. She folds her new wings and approaches the party.

The sky resembles the night, but instead of being static, what look like stars are constantly disappearing and reappearing. No structures are visible anywhere, save a circular platform in the middle, where the light of the stars seem to be concentrating, as bits of light slowly fall towards it.
