“It was probably a dodecahedron (dō-de-kə-hē-drən),” Jeremy said. “It would look like a sphere with flat sections. Each section would have five sides.”

“This one had flat triangles on it too,” Jesse added.

“Then it’s a snub dodecahedron,” Jeremy said. “They have a combination of five-sided flats mixed in with triangular-shaped flats. They make a pretty cool-looking sphere. Even though it has flat places on the surface, it looks like it has a smooth surface.”

“The surface was definitely not smooth,” Jesse said.

“Okay, then it’s likely a snub dodecadodecahedron,” Jeremy said. “It has a rough surface.”

Jesse gave Jeremy a quizzical look and shook her head. “Really? I knew you were into geometry, but a snub dodecadodecahedron?”

“Well, that’s probably what it is,” Jeremy said.

“Okay, okay,” Jack said. “It’s a big ball with bumps. What else is in the room?”

“The tubes from below come up through the floor and into the sphere. The sphere seems to be fixed in the air halfway between the floor and the ceiling. Another tube goes from the bottom of the sphere to the floor and then through the wall next to a door. If we are right there are thirteen tubes, one for each dome. There’s a light source in the center of the globe. That’s where the intense light is coming from. Electric arcs are dancing on the inside of the globe. Every now and then, an electric arc escapes the globe and shoots across the room, burning a one-inch hole in the wall, floor, or ceiling, depending on where it hits. There are hundreds of the holes around the room. There’s a second door on the opposite side of the room. It’s similar to this one with a wheel and six latches.”

“So we have two issues,” Caroline said and signed to Haven. “First, the danger of crossing the room, and second, we don’t know what’s on the other side of door number two.”
