"I'm sorry, but I'm not at liberty to discuss what Trimarc is researching at this facility," Dr. Parker said a little stiffly. "That has nothing to do with the glacial shift, which caused this accident. The ice does shift at times, but it's rare to get motion of this magnitude. Unfortunately, when the ice moved, it revealed a pocket which happened to be under our facility."<br/><br/>Lewis let out a small laugh. "Rotten luck," she said, leaning back in a chair.

"We'll basically rapel down, so all we have to be careful of is to watch our footing and not get twisted around."<br/><br/>"If you have any special preparations you would like to make, please do so now. We will begin very shortly," Dr. Parker said. She pushed her glasses up the bridge of her nose, appearing somewhat nervous. Likely, she was used to dealing with scientists, not superheroes.<br/>
