Aria calmly led them toward a large reception counter positioned along the outer ring of the stone pavilion. Behind it stood a quiet attendant clad in a neatly tailored uniform embroidered with silver runic patterns.
"Destination?" the man asked professionally.
"Three passengers. Resonant Trynium Academy City, Central Nexus. VIP transit," Aria replied. As she spoke, she produced a gleaming authorization token and placed it on the counter.
The attendant examined the token briefly before turning toward a floating crystal console suspended beside him. Streams of light flickered across its translucent surface as he entered several commands. A moment later, he gave a firm nod.
"Authorization confirmed. Platform Four has been cleared for immediate transit to the Academy Core Nexus," he stated. Gesturing politely toward one of the raised platforms nearby, he added, "Please proceed."
