Dr. Rebecca Lumiere

The Gorgon is quite active.

Thank you, Middleson, Lamier says, taking the blindfold.

She secures hers and faces where she believes the vault door is.

Firm hands turn her 45 degrees to her right.

Thank you.

Cass, are you ready?

Ready, doctor, Cass says from her side.

There is the sound of the huge vault wheel being spun, then a massive clang as lock after lock after lock is thrown, followed by a screech and a heavy vibration as the door swings open.

Straight ahead, 27 paces, Dr. Lamiere, Middleson says.

Then 14 paces to your left, followed by 46 paces to your right.

She is waiting for you, so you won't miss her.

Oh, I am sure she'll let me know when I arrive, Lamiere says with a sigh.

Damn gorgons.

She and Cass walk inside the vault.

She jumps when the door is closed behind her.

Glad Cass can't see her anxiety.

The two follow Middleson's directions and are soon stopped by a silky voice saying, Rebecca, how nice of you to come.

What's the occasion?

Cut the crap, Antonia.

You've frozen several of my personnel.
