Scoop.

"And off we go!"

Permalink

Through the secret passage and onward to...?

Permalink

Well, more catwalks, apparently.

"Look at this! No rail to tell us where to go! Oh, this is brilliant. We can go wherever we want. Hold on though, where are we going?"

"We're wandering around until we find something interesting, of course," says Sable, confidently proceeding along the catwalk.

Permalink

"No, no, we have somewhere to be!—follow the rail, yeah, it'll lead us there."

(There are not many choices about that to be fair, the parts of the catwalk around her that do not follow the rail are dead ends, long since rotted off.)

"Somewhere to be? News to me. Where?"

"Oh I'll show you—it's the escape pod—"

They're surrounded by pipes and large glass tubes with cubes and other materials, and just up ahead there's a tube with a turret in it, fallen to the side, its laser-sight blinking.

"Hello? Hello?"

Permalink

"Oh no..."

Permalink

"Poor things," sighs Sable.

Permalink

"Yes! Hello! We're not stopping" To Sable: "Don't make eye contact whatever you do."

Permalink

"I'm different..."

Permalink

"Why not?"

Permalink

"Never mind, just—keep moving, keep moving..."

She pauses by the fallen turret. "Hello," she says. "What do you mean, you're different?"

Permalink

"Get mad!"

Permalink

"No, thank you."

Permalink

"Don't make lemonade!"

Permalink

"Can you hear me?" she wonders.

Permalink

"Yes. Her name is Caroline. Remember that."

Permalink

"Uh, sorry mate, I have no idea who you're talking about." To Sable: "Come on, let's go, he's bonkers..."

Permalink

"That's hardly his fault." And to the turret, "Do you need help?"

Permalink

"The answer is beneath us."

...she peers dubiously off the edge of the catwalk into the gloom below.

"If so, it may have to stay there."
