"Shut the door, shut the door," shouted Amanda, almost hysterical.

Dale peeked and really wished he hadn't. It was impossible to get any kind of bearing or take in what was on the other side, apart from that it was a large open space and there were a lot of lights and machinery, maybe. Dale really couldn't begin to understand it in their current situation.

He didn't know how fast they were spinning but it was pretty fast, and judging by the bright blue light that was all around them then they were at the dome end of The Chamber.

Dale shut the door.

"Bloody hell, that made my head hurt more than a double paradox," panted Dale, trying to let gravity do what it did without him thinking about it.

"We're going really fast Dale. I never really thought about it in there but it must be quite fast for the gravity to work. How are we going to get out of here?"

"Same way we got in I guess. Jump."

"To where? We don't know where we are so we can't just jump to the ground around this damn thing."

"I couldn't, but you could. Come on Amanda, you're great at getting the jumps right, think you can do it?"

Amanda thought for a minute, gnawing at the corner of her lip, absentmindedly brushing her hair away from her eyes — it was a mess from the rotation when they'd opened the door. "Maybe, but we'll have to open the door again and somehow try to get some bearings, see where the floor is at least."

"That's the spirit. Look, maybe if you lie down then it won't be so disorientating? Think that would help?" Dale had no idea if it would but somehow it sounded right, like it might work.

Amanda stared at him dubiously, but obviously didn't have a better idea so just nodded. She got down on all fours, head facing the door and then said, "Do it."

Dale opened the door and immediately felt the strong wind, an effect of the spin, and Amanda began moaning as she pushed forward little by little before lying prone. Dale looked out again, trying to make sense of something, anything, but all he felt was dizzy. It was like being on the worst fairground ride ever. He'd never been able to ride anything that went fast, even swings left him green and feeling extremely sick — this was like his idea of a really bad day out magnified a thousand-fold.

He tried to just focus on looking at what was down for him, and things began to slowly fall into a little bit of order. They were clearly in some huge space, and there were a series of long girders, criss-crossed by struts maybe, that were running away from the dome, but he found it really hard to make out much at all, and was sure of even less.

"Close it," croaked Amanda from the floor, her words almost lost to the void and the wind. She crawled back gingerly and
