Chapter 45 - Control Center

  • Rey: Wait here, I’ll check to make sure it’s clear.

  • Scene: After Rey investigates around the building, she finds a crypt inside. Aiko then enter the crypt and lays Gess’s body down on the stone block which lights up below.

  • Scene: Just then a metal door quickly slams into place and the floor begins to descend. They both look at each other in horror.

  • Aiko: Rey, what’s happening?

    Rey: I don’t know but the floor is going down and there’s no way out.

    Aiko: It might be a trap. Stay close.

  • Aiko: What is this place? I’ve never seen anything like this.

  • Scene: They creep down the stairs and into a hallway. After checking the room across from them, they venture further down another hallway.

  • Rey: Whatever this place is it looks abandoned

    Scene: Peering through one of the door windows at the end of a hallway, Rey sees what looks like a window to the outside.

    Rey: It looks like there’s a window in this room. If we can get in, maybe we can find a way out.

  • Scene: Aiko begins to push buttons on a keypad and the doors slide open. Cautiously they go in and find a high-tech control room. As they enter the lights come on and all of the display light up.

  • Aiko: What are these things. They’re like lights only they have pictures in them. We better not touch anything; we don’t know what they do or what they may do to us.

  • Scene: Rey makes her way over to what looks like a large window.

    Rey: I don’t think this is a window. It looks like another picture light

  • Aiko: I don’t see another exit. I don’t know what this place is used for or who built it, but it looks far more advanced than anything we’ve ever seen. Maybe the Elders left it behind, but since neither of us would know the first thing about using it to get answers, we should probably just try to find a way out.

  • Scene: As they turn to leave, Rey stops to look down at a console display with the shape of a hand lit up on it. She looks at her hand and places it on the console. As she does, a surge of information is uploaded into her brain. She looks like she’s having a seizure and she begins to yell in pain. Aiko rushes over to her.

  • Rey: AAAHHHHHH!!!!

  • Aiko: Rey!

  • Scene: Just as she gets to her, Rey collapses into her arms. Aiko lowers her to the floor.
