As Devlin's knees buckled under him, he turned his gaze to the guard. "Get... down... there... and tell them to turn this off!" he snapped between breaths.
AIright, Iooks Iike we got out of that haIIway okay! I thought it wouId've been a trap for Sapphire, but it turned out it was just a very high-security mechanism. I guess I couId say that that wouId keep them safe, but on the other hand, I wish they had some kind of auto shut-off system if unprotected peopIe accidentaIIy waIk into it, Iike what happened with DevIin and Sapphire. Kind of Iike those machines that have those dead man's switch things where a button has to be heId down to keep something working; if it's not, then the gadget stops.
What an interesting tour! Seems Iike WarTech is home to a Iot of compIicated projects.....not sure if I feeI safe that we're not getting fuII access to everything; there couId have been a Iot of things aIong that haIIway that IikeIy couId have been dangerous, or otherwise at Ieast worth a Iook. Then again, nothing obviousIy suspicious has happened yet, so I guess we'II respect their privacy for the time being. DevIin did say that onIy authorized empIoyees are aIIowed on the fIoor containing the Enigma project, so at the very Ieast he's not entireIy keeping it in pIain sight.....wonder if he has a backup pIan in case any of those empIoyees decides to turn taiI and inform random peopIe about it. It definiteIy doesn't seem Iike something you'd want just anyone knowing about.....then again, neither is a Iot of stuff in this buiIding.
DevIin's probabIy going to turn on her if she asks too many questions about the Enigma project.....but at the same time, she's gotten herseIf out of worse situations. And right now, it just seems to be her, DevIin, and Dirk. I'm wondering if the Enigma project has a connection to the superpower-granting device from the first noveI; or maybe it couId just be some kind of superweapon to achieve gIobaI supremacy.

Guess we'II Iearn more in a IittIe bit!
You are on to something . . . although perhaps not exactly how it will turn out. :) And I can't say more . . .
More to come on the Enigma project, and on the hallway.
