Nue manages to find cover and reach it before the beam reaches her, and it sweeps the room to and fro, and then it turns off. It humms again, and the metal in the room shakes and seems to warp with magnetism and more of the nails begin floating in the room. But a screeching electronic noise from much further below seems to stop... whatever it was doing, and it 'looks' down. More like tilts, but still. Additional Anomaly Detected Temporarily abandoning primary target Persuing It then floats down and out of sight, and Nue is left alone in the still room once more.

Hm. What could that be about? Nue peeks out the window to try and figure out which floor it went to.

Nue peeks out and 'just' manages to see it vanish into the mists below, still clearing moving. It is also at this point Nue figures she could theoretically be VERY high in the air, as she can no longer see the horizon or the ground below, or anything but more of the building and the mist.
So she could be on floor 20 or 200. Who knows.

Oh my. That's disconcerting...and annoying. Well, best to just keep going down the stairs then.

...then Nue finds herself a few levels down. She decided to skip over a few, chasing after where the obelisk was headed, not really sure of where else to head. She was going to keep heading down but this floor is... weird.
Very weird.
She finds that the main office area has been cleared out for what seems like some sort of nest? For a giant egg, which a few pieces still remain on the ground. Around the egg, there seems to be spots for what look like someone sleeping (maybe who was looking after the egg... or maybe not 'who' was watching it, but rather... Best not to think about it). There also seems to be a bit of leftover food from a box that used to be full of it. Looks like someone or someones were maybe here for quite some time. Hmmm.
There seems to be a few rooms that look disturbed alongside the main room, but does she dare WANT to know further?

Nope. Not important enough at this time. Escape is priority one. Let's keep heading down.

Putting that place out of her mind for now, she continues to head further down, experiencing another feeling of vertigo despite going the 'right' way. Shouldn't she just go to the correct floor? She appears on another under-construction floor, and through the window she sees the Obelisk again! As she steps off the staircase, a barrier appears behind her preventing her from going back onto the staircase, and thus, further down. The Obelisk actually seems to be pre-occupied with something, and actually seems to be in a fight! It's firing on something the floor below. Cleansing in progress Corrupted targets: Three Mission: Remove Targets Two smaller versions of the Obelisk actually float up, and look to be targeting Nue. Ruh roh. (Throw me beginning Initiatives!)

Nue, having recalled Eevee of the Flaming Jaw some time back, sends out her Dragonair to blast the obelisk from above.

The two mini obelisks float in by busting through the windows and whirr up as if they are charging up something

Nue avoids the floating ghosty orb and Dragonair merely sheds his skin to get rid of it. Nue then creates illusory doubles of herself while Dragonair blasts the obelisks again.
Nue used Double Team!

One of the Mini-Obelisks sends the attack back at Dragonaire to keep itself up, and then the other takes the attack and then tries to re-confuse the Dragon! Mirror Coat in reaction to Twister! (Dragonair takes 28)

The twister takes one out, while the other one reflects it only to fall to Nue's attack. And THAT seems to get the Obelisk's attention! It floats up, seemingly done fighting whatever was on the ground floor, and fires on Dragonair! Dragonair takes 28 from Mirror Coat #2
