"Nine days local, stuck in a large stone building, unable to eat or drink or sleep, nothing to sit on, not much to do except communicate with the monument, and the monument is not enormously talkative. Then at the end you find out whether or not you passed the test. And I didn't detect anything in the monument that was set on keeping me there, but since I still don't know what sent me there in the first place, I'm not ruling out that there might be an entity with unknown goals and the ability to move people between worlds watching the taieli monument for unknown purposes."
