SENJO<br/><br/>The back door hacks, the pass codes, the jumping through hoops and then some other calculations delayed me for several minutes. Then I was in. Into where I needed to be. A sea of information was there. I dived and swam. If I could experience the emotion of exhilaration rather than just understand it, I would be exhilarated. Even so, I worked with renewed vigour, the Leftenant watching over my shoulder. First priority; access to the command centre. I pulled up the maintenance team's schematics. More accurate than the construction blueprints they showed construction details to a finer tolerance and more importantly they showed actual build data rather than the standard colony intended build that the Mitchum's computers held. Here we would find out what<em>had</em>been constructed rather than what was<em>planned</em>to be constructed.<br/><br/><div class="floatleft">(http://i279.photobucket.com/albums/kk137/HaibaneR/KiloPlatoon_36.jpg)</div>The blue plans filled the screen. My eye tracked to where we were now and where the Leftenant required access to. A service duct carrying electrical cabling and designed to take a human frame - just - for maintenance linked the Town Hall with the Command Centre.<br/><br/><strong>"Here, Sir,"</strong>I pointed to the trunking. A thin white line indicating the smallest access duct.<strong>"From... that wall panel there~"</strong>I looked up from the terminal and saw a grilled hatch in the wall above the door Kilo had entered by.<strong>"Via this trunk here... through here. Take a left here. A right here. And then... Ops Room. Behind the external comms desk panel,"</strong>It was a plain crawl with only three junctions. It was simple but a tight fit. There were also junctions down to the Science Lab and the Armoury and down to the lower level via the Medical Bay and School. It was also... I studied the scale of the blueprints...<strong>"It is over two hundred and fifty metres. On your stomach that could take you... ten minutes each way. Including a check of the Ops Room and accessing the terminals there. Forty minutes."</strong>It was actually a generous estimate. Any number of unknown factors could extend the transit time.
