Hard Landing
You are jettisoned from a small airduct, and crash into a pile of old crates. "Oww!" you groan as you rise like a broken ragdoll. "Man, whatta trip!" Twinges of pain scream out from all parts of your battered body."What was that?" a voice says.
The voice in the distance sends eerie chills up your spine.
"Oh no!" you think. "I have to hide!" You duck behind some rusted barrels. Then, when you spot the airduct lying in the middle of the floor, you reach out and pull it close, hoping that whoever is coming doesn't notice it's been displaced from it's secure spot on the ceiling.
Heavy footsteps approach.
You huddle down behind the barrels, and hope for a miracle.
"I think it came from behind those barrels." another voice says.
'Ok, i'm dead.' you think.
Someone approaches the barrels.
"Mrroowwwwrrrr!!!" a soft voice purrs.
"Hey, lookit that, it's just the boss's kitty."
"Here, Fluffy, c'mere girl! Aww, that's it. C'mon, let's go back to the War Room." The soldiers turn, and return to their posts.
'Thank God!' you think. After the men have left, you emerge from behind the barrels and glance around. Then, slowly, you peer around the corner and into the adjoining room. You spot a long table, and empty chairs all around it. On the far wall, behind the largest chair in the room, is a familiar coat of arms.
It is the same sign you saw in the Main Hall when you first entered the castle. There are three other doors connected to the room. You begin to explore the room. Near the largest chair in the room, you spot a stack of files. You flip through them curiously. Suddenly, a sound from behind jolts you.
Turn around.
