So, what is down? Being in an underground complex, why would the room exits go down? I guess it could lead to an underground cave or river, gotta have water right?

Yes, of course! Maybe even a Flood Control Dam!RunningBull wrote:So, what is down? Being in an underground complex, why would the room exits go down? I guess it could lead to an underground cave or river, gotta have water right?
There is a control panel here.
There is a red button, a yellow button, and a green button.
The buttons are dark.
Don't let other peoples limitations become your constraints!

I just hope it's not a spider though. Katherine said she's terrified of them.

However, I suspect that Paul has done his usual master-quality job of hiding a hint to the truth in plain sight.
By having Katherine use colloquial, regional language for "Run away right now" he's clued us in.
It's obvious - Katherine and Atsali are being charged by an angry vamoose.

Could be an exit on the bottom level, like a ground floor. The structure could have been built in a hillside, with exits at different levels. Be sides, the can't go up, the only way is down.RunningBull wrote:So, what is down? Being in an underground complex, why would the room exits go down?

I'm not sure the structure is collapsing. The rumbling is going on too long and to strong. A collapse would have been relatively quick and sudden. I dont think a giant spider would rumble, neither would a snake. Perhaps a series of barrels, as in Donkey Kong?

It could be like the mine--since it's apparently in a mesa, the outlet may be in the side, and quite possibly from the lower floor(s).RunningBull wrote:So, what is down?

If it is a giant spider she could always make the wise crack, "I'm gonna need a bigger pin!!!!"Aleister Crow wrote:It's one of the kachinas! Unfortunately it's ten feet tall and really angry!

I'm just wondering what caused that CHONK! It's unlikely that Kath's bottom makes that sound whenever she sits.

Being an Anime fan in general, and a Cowboy BeBop fan in particular, I'm reminded of a remark Faye Valentine made in Cowboy BeBop the movie when Spike told her to go to the climate control center and tell them to make it rain...
"It's plans like this that get people killed!!!!"
I'm imagining Kath is thinking this right about now about our bird-brained friend... Needless to say, any priveledges Atsali had in the library are likely to be revoked after this fiasco...
Phix: Hi, I'm Phix. I'm the librarian and I'm not amused.

Probably whatever big object is approaching that they have to get away from. Best bet it's still a big round rock LOL. Second best bet is it's Atsi's Momma come a looking for her missing child and is she mad! Third choice is the snowball that survived the nether regions that everyone says it never had a chance to.MerchManDan wrote:I'm just wondering what caused that CHONK!

Ambush questions are fun. Watching the mental impact of them as they distort, or crumble, opinions based on faulty logic.

Force your enemy to climb through a hole head first and whack 'em.
Then take their ladder.
The only practical entrance to the complex is on the lowest level.

Fairportfan, did you really HAVE to post this picture???Fairportfan wrote:Or satin and lace ... and snakes?
That has been, is now and forever will be the SEXIEST picture ever, bar none!
It has been my favorite for years and (I suspect), for you too.
I've only met one woman in RL who exudes sex appeal that even comes close
(and she is extremely powerful), to what Diana evokes in this picture. I suspect
I would have just burnt up in flames had I ever met Ms Riggs in person.
And now to bed, perchance to dream....
We want to see the unexpected! The strange and terrible!
