At first, she had run only to try to get away. She knew she could come out of HammerSpace somewhere else, and frankly, she wanted a few minutes on her own before Roger rejoined her. She intended to sit out in the sun somewhere.

Then it had occurred to her that Celly's castle was probably not too far away. She wasn't sure exactly what she was going to do yet, but one of the things she had grabbed was her laptop. Maybe she could get into the castle and wreck some havoc. That alone would be worth some trouble.

She didn't think about what kind of trouble, though. She had been to the castle before, and had escaped unharmed. She should be okay. There was Celly, Dionysus, and Bob... whoever that was. She doubted that Nyx or Mercy would be there. But she had to admit that she'd like to take a swing at Mercy. Maybe she'd seek her out when she left the castle.

She opened her computer and tried to find the hidden entrance she had used before. But that entrance didn't seem to be there anymore. Cursing, she walked around the outer wall. Maybe there was something else. This place was just plain weird.

Finally, the computer showed a hidden door. After a few minutes, she managed to open it. It immediately closed as soon as she walked in, and she found herself in a brightly lit hallway.

No one was in sight, and she could hear nothing but the humming of the flourescent lights. A screen a few feet away caught her attention, and she found herself at a small computer terminal. She looked around nervously before plugging her computer in. Now... what to do... first, find out about the castle.

No schematic? Okay, time to think like Celly.

Not enough like Celly.

Now this was more like it. She wondered how far she was from the control room.

>OBJECT "CONTROL ROOM" UNKNOWN.

Think Celly... she looked at the last few lines of the conversation.

distance to area 51

>STRAIGHT TO YOUR LEFT, 500 METERS.

Damn, that was a little too close for comfort. She wished she had come in a different entrance. She wished there had been a different entrance to come in. She'd better hurry.
