Cheyenne and Alice were pretty good friends. They weren’t supposed to fraternize, but they did anyway. They discovered the guards were terrible at their jobs on their floor. They would leave their post frequently, sleep on the job, and take longer than necessary bathroom breaks. Cyrus was so obsessed with John Calhoun and Dodge Kerrington that he was letting some of the details slip down to Glitch, and everyone knew that Glitch was only in it for the money; he didn’t care about what was going on in the dorms at night.

Cheyenne and Alice would occasionally get together for a bowl of ice cream and watch TV together on Alice’s computer. That night when they got together, Cheyenne told Alice about Toby and what he had said to her about the metal box and how it would keep you alive if you stayed in it. This got Alice thinking, there were old ovens in the compound from back when it was a foundry. One was especially large and the entire thing was made of metal. She wondered how long they could stay in there if they had food and water. Maybe they could just go live in the oven. It was a silly thought and they laughed about it but in their situation it sounded like a form of freedom.

In Slades office, one floor above the dorms, he and Glitch were having a meeting. They were watching the Kerrington family getting ready for bed.

How can we get more information about the systems that Dodge has developed at ESS? Glitch, tell Toby that the next time he gets into the house I want him to spend some time in this room.” Cyrus was pointing to one of the video squares on the large monitor in front of him. The video feed was that of Dodge’s office. Cyrus went on; every good engineer that is really bent on success brings his work home with him, even when it’s against company policy. Tell Toby to poke around in Dodge’s desk and his computer files to see if he can come up with anything that Dodge might have brought home to work on.”

The next morning Glitch called for Toby to be brought up to his office. Toby was quite nervous about having to go up there, he had never been and he didn’t know what to expect. He was escorted into Glitch’s office, the door was closed behind him and it sounded as though it was locked, he couldn’t help but to get a lump in his throat. This situation
