Chapter 38 - Envisioning Gothic's New Digs on Minos (Patreon)

The palace looked like an ancient pyramid-esque temple colored a sandy orange, which suggested it might be one of the oldest buildings in this city and likely had some historical significance. It sat on a large square piece of land and was like a multi-stepped pyramid with large angled towers on each of its four sides, which suggested that it had been added onto over the centuries. At full operation, it could likely house ten thousand government workers or administration comfortably. In the very middle, at the top level of the pyramid-like building, was a large square shaft that went straight down, likely providing natural light to much of the building’s inhabitants.

That, alone, wasn’t triggering my recognition. If I didn’t know any better, I’d say that this was a faithful replica of the Tyrell Corporation headquarters from the 1980s movie Blade Runner, which was another favorite of mine and had been one of those movies that encouraged my love for science fiction. Was this Q fucking with me again? Did it really matter in the end?
