Stonehard Lee slammed the door release on the room to the South. The clanking was still echoing through from up North. That thing was close. Lee bolted for the door as soon as it opened and urged the others to do the same. They dashed into the room beyond without hesitating as the door slammed shut. There was another clanking on the door to the North. It had moved again.

Lee breathed out slowly and decided to check out the room, ignoring the frantic howls. The floor was black metal but the walls were very pale white. Lee banged one with his fist and determined it was metallic too. The room was a standard size but...something was off about it. The room gave the illusion that there was more space than normal. The air was thick and hazy in here. Angela jumped back suddenly as a purple spark leaped from the ceiling and almost grounded itself through her.

There was a click to the East as a large heavy-set door opened wide. The light on the door turned from red to green and a shuttle trundled through on a track. The ring that was painted on the door was pink. Other than that there were no visible exits save for the North one they'd come through. The clanking and the howling continued.

Brie slumped down on the floor miserably.

"We're going to die here." She said despondently. Wilt went to her side as everybody else sat down to accept their fate.

Everybody except Boone. He scuttled to the West in the hopes of finding some kind of switch on the walls or on the floor. There had to be more to this room. Purple sparks crackled around him as he walked along the centre. As he passed the Northern exit and approached the Western wall, it appeared to move away from him. He rubbed his head and tried again. Still it moved away.

"Marek...do you see what I seeE" Said Boone carefully. Marek joined him and noticed exactly the same thing. The wall was moving away from them. They both took more steps towards it. With every step they took, the room seemed to twist and contort in strange ways. Still the wall moved further and further away.

Boone stopped and glanced back at the group. They hadn't made any progress at all. They had walked forward but not moved. The group were just as far behind them. But the air was thick with purple haze now. The walls were all twisted and contorted too, not quite at the angle they were. Boone was determined and he ran and ran, hoping endlessly to catch the wall. Around him the room span and twisted and turned in a myriad of ways.

Finally, he reached the wall. He placed his hands on it firmly, catching his breath and stepped back in disbelief. The wall was stone and so was the floor. When had that changed?

He turned back to the group who were the same distance from him as before and glanced up at the Northern exit. It wasn't clanking anymore. There were no howls. In fact, the door was made of stone too and didn't have the mechanical release mechanism. He returned back to the others, experiencing the same twisting, turning headache as on the first trip.

He slumped down finally, trying to make sense of it all.

It is now Phase 34. Phase 34 will end in roughly 24 hours from now.

Looks like we reached a dead end. Not surprising. There's really only one option. We could go to the past and backtrack, go to the future and backtrack, or take the shuttle and explore an entirely new section.

Yessss

What...what is that vile machine?

Doctor? Walton?

Well this is disappointing. Looks like we have no choice but to head back north or try our luck with the shuttle. =/
