( That is the ideal reaction, right there. That rapt interest is exactly what he was hoping for, and they're still in the fucking lobby. It doesn't hold a candle to some of the historical and cultural exhibits along the path ahead, and... yeah, granted odds are good Nate might know a hell of a lot more about them than Ian does, but abysmally mansplaining history isn't the route he plans on taking. It's about the displays. He's kind of banking on that being enough to nail it.

Possibly literally. There are bridges.
Fake bridges. Holographic bridges. They look and feel real as hell, though, provided you don't try and jump off of one. You'll just land on solid floor and get a weird sense of vertigo over the fact that you're not falling.
Circular stairs transition as they pass under the floor, and the place it leads isn't nearly as big as it looks. It does have a few branching doorways at perfect intervals along the walls, though, so Nate can get his labyrinthian rocks off picking a direction. )
