"Nah, it's more... your thing now, anyway," Columbo quietly told Reegan when she asked about the cigar she transformed. It... didn't quite look safe to smoke for him anymore... well, more so than a usual cigar, at least.
"No, I wouldn't advise that," Columbo told Ryan when suggesting he split up, "this whole place is a giant deathtrap, even for the likes of you. We have better chances together than apart, no matter what." With that said, they still needed a direction to go, "Let's.... head for where its going," he told everyone, pointing down to where the liquid was going, "that might lead us back up top." He took it upon himself then to take the lead, keeping himself dead center of the pipe. "Keep to the middle here, and try staying in single file. Long way down if you slip," he told everyone.
In following the pipe, it would lead them to a series of platforms that would only take them down further, but would continue to follow along with the pipes themselves. Eventually, they would find an opening between the walls and one of the larger pipes, easy enough to squeeze through. Once on the other side, however, they would finally see what exactly the pipes were connected to.
A lot of pods like the ones Kanna and Zoe were in.
The main pipe splintered off into several dozen, each connected to a different pod within the rows. It was filled with the blue liquid Kanna and Zoe were in, but like the other pods next to theirs, the beings inside these were starting to 'decompose.' The corridor they all found themselves in seemed to go on and on with each turn of the corner, with the pipes themselves continuing through the walls, ceilings and floors. There may be more sections like this aboard the station.
Closer inspection of the systems showed that the blue fluid within the pods was a preservative for the organic beings inside. But, when the station's network went down after Wheatley took over, the system in charge of the pods stopped working. Maybe it froze once the station rebooted, or crashed, or went on standby mode. Either way, the liquid keeping the organics alive was now eating away at them.
That wasn't all, however. Another set of tubes, ones underneath each pod, funneled off into a different direction from the other pipes, moving inward to the center of the station. A quick trip across another set of platforms would lead them to where the new pipes went to. Another chamber full of pods, but much different from the others.
Besides these were monitors, indication of fluid levels, pod temperatures, growth measurements, and fertilization processes. The monitors looked like they could be accessed digitally, allowing for more information to be gathered from them. If any of them chose to open up a pod to see inside through the glass, they would likely be in for a shock as to what was actually inside.
Embryos. Each pod contained a single one, and each were in a different stage of development. And each was of a different organic species from the other section. A quick scan of the fluid inside these pods would also show a different kind of liquid being used.
Raw genetic material. The organic beings in the first section were preserved in the blue fluid, then liquified into genetic material and channeled into this secondary section to make embryos of whatever organic being they were remaking. Add to it that there were fewer pods in this secondary section than the first, and the massive size of the station to house thousands of kidnapped 'scattered' from across the multiverse, they may have already killed many before the heroes took over.
