She followed Lucas out of the cafeteria, down the stairs and into the brightly lit white corridor. They took a left and walked toward the main corridor where the arboretum was. Then they turned right and walked past the guard station that was on their left behind a thick metal railing.

Jane did not walk near to him, but trailed behind by about five feet. She followed him down the other end of the corridor and through a door there. She took note of the locking mechanism as he swiped his wrist across it.

They entered through this door, and then Jane saw another, darker corridor made of concrete. Down the length of it were several doors, and they entered through the second one. Inside, there was a rectangular room which measured about twenty feet squared. The walls were bare white, and the only two objects of any significance in the room were a large table which occupied the centre and a reflective panel of glass that stretched along the wall to her right that was about one metre in height.

In the centre of the table, there was a bowl filled with marbles, a set of jenga blocks, cards and a baseball. Jane noticed that the table itself appeared to have digital controls embedded into its surface: obviously an expensive piece of equipment.

“Sit down please Jane,” he said from behind her. She turned and looked at him, defiant and unafraid. She walked over to the other side of the table and took a seat. She looked to her left and attempted to project her thoughts outward to see through the reflective glass that stretched the length of the wall, but found she couldn’t see beyond it.

They haven’t turned the field down yet, wait, she thought as Lucas took out a file and began leafing through it in the seat across the table from her. Between them was this set of unusual objects. She stared at him as he lifted out a file of papers attached with a paper clip. He looked up and saw her looking at him.

“I like hard copies,” he said, smiling. Apparently he thought he was going to be able to win her allegiance in some easy way.

She smiled back at him sardonically. “How’s your shoulder Lucas?”

His smile faded, and he went back to looking at the file, retracting the invisible hand he had stretched out to her. The message in her question was clear: if it wasn’t for that dampening field, you’d be in trouble. She returned her attention to the window on her left, and she saw him look up at her dismissively and then return to the document. After a moment, he set the document aside and began to manipulate the controls on the digital surface of the table.

Below her, the surface came to life, and she was faced with a series of input controls and various grids marked by green lines. She had never seen this specific technology. He flicked his hand forward across the surface of the table and she watched as an image flew across the surface toward her.
