I've heard the rumors of the lush forest and rolling hills on the other side of the planet, although the terrain around here has always had a place in my heart I wanted to see what else was out there. Unfortunately, walking seems to be the slowest way to get around, but the other testers told me there is a way to get to the other side in almost no time at all... the windtunnels.

I took the exit like the sign said and soon arrived at what appeared to be a small stand selling tickets for the wind tunnel.










Following the directions of a fellow tester I arrived at the ticket both to gain access to the tunnel. I 'borrowed' the coin pouch of one of the guys in line who already went inside and purchased my one way ticket to the other side.
"Uhh... hey, have I seen you before? Your stand looks familiar."
"Oh no!" he said, "I have had this stand for the last 3 phases"
I got my ticket and followed his directions to the tunnels.













I got my first glance at the infamous technology the Atrianans have developed for thousands and thousands of years, the design was almost mezmorizing. Plus it had one of those godly lights over it like you see in the movies, so this had to be it!









I climbed the ladder, a little nervous with it being my first time and all.







I gave my ticket to the man atop of what appeared to be the trigger for opening the tunnel to allow the travelers to get some momentom. He yelled down to me "OK, as soon as you see me jump on th handle, you jump in, and hold your breath, got it?" I nodded to him, looking back and forth between him and the tunnel like I was having a siezer.









I could feel the tunnel sucking at me as I spun round and round the entrance, hitting only minor debris as I entered. The last of the light vanished as I fell endlessly through the tunnel, man was I moving!






I was ejected at an alarming rate into the air out of the other side. Fortunately the soft rock broke my fall as I fell back to the planet, I got up, dusted myself off, and marveled at the amazing change of terrain that lie before me. But I had been scammed, there was no wind!!! Once again I began walking north, looking for my next adventure.
