We remained there for quite some time to check on the machine for a little bit more. Since Lucia still can't decide whether to destroy the machine or not, we have no choice but to wait for her. Queen Tanya is patient enough since it's not her final say about this matter and with Lucia still trying to find any clues regarding what happened during her time of slumber, she didn't force Lucia to any kind of tough decisions immediately.
As for me, I am checking on the skeleton. It might have already been a long time since the skeleton reached the end of its life, but I can't help but want to learn some information about it. I asked Lucia if it was fine to check on the belongings of the dead and she agreed that it's not really her jurisdiction if I loot the corpse or not.
Despite this being disrespectful to the dead, I decided to continue looting the corpse. Adventurers loot dead bodies, it's always what we do and will always be.
