Emily closes the cage and puts the <span class="comment">whatever they
|
|
feed the mice</span> back into the cupboard. She double-checks that the
|
|
cage is really closed, then she steps out into the hallway, and starts
|
|
walking. The entire habitat is eerily quiet. Apart from her own
|
|
footsteps, she hears just the hum of the electrical systems and the
|
|
quiet whirr of the air circulation.

|
|
3 – 5 – 2 – 1 – Enter. The keypad beeps with
|
|
every button press. A computer voice announces
|
|
<span class="quote speech">Access authorized</span> and the door slides
|
|
up. She steps through into the main control center. The module contains
|
|
one large room with rows of integrated computer equipment desks arranged
|
|
in a <span class="comment">Mondsichel</span> shape with the
|
|
<span class="comment">Wölbung</span> to the left. Most of the seats
|
|
are facing that way, allowing a view of the biotope through a huge
|
|
panorama window taking up the entire wall. The biotope is an even larger
|
|
module with a ceiling of glass and support beams, completely filled with
|
|
plant life, trees, small critters, and a big pond. The walls across from
|
|
her and to the right hold large status panels with some seven-segment
|
|
displays for information and lots of big status indicator symbols.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Emily walks down the shallow stairs towards the panorama window. In
|
|
front of the window are tables and chairs that were moved there recently
|
|
as the room had become more of a general hangout spot for the remaining
|
|
people. Now, it's just Lena and her.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Lena sits at one of the tables, cutting a piece of bread into slices.
|
|
In front of her is a bowl with fruit and a honey jar.

<p class="comment">

missing dialog about food and starting to eat

|

|
|

|
|
They get interrupted by all of the equipment in the room suddenly coming
|
|
alive. All of the computer desks that weren't perviously active
|
|
turn on. Some of the status indicators on the back wall start blinking.
|
|
A large, green triangle with the letters LINK next to it flickers and
|
|
then lights up. Emily looks at it in confusion.<br />
|
|
<span class="quote speech">What's going on?</span><br />
|
|
<span class="quote speech">That's them.</span><br />
|
|
<span class="quote speech">Earth people?</span><br />
|
|
<span class="quote speech">Yes</span>, Lena replies while quickly
|
|
finishing her meal, <span class="quote speech">They have some abilities
|
|
to remotely control things – including turning on the main radio
|
|
transmitter.</span><br />
|
|
She gets up and asks Emily to follow her to one of the consoles with a
|
|
terminal. She sits down in front of it, logs on and enters a few
|
|
commands.
