Security Check 15-21 Jun
We floated into the empty room. There was another door on the opposite side. "Ok, how do we open it without touching it?"
"No one said this would be easy, Frank," she replied.
"No," I agreed, "but we do need it to be possible."
Kink raised her hand and aperture opened in her palm. A small drone flew out of it. The drone approached the edges of our sealed bubble. A second bubble formed around, making a little airlock for it. The airlock opened and the drone flew out into the larger room. It barely lasted a second before that'd drone was destroyed. "Well that's not a promising first move," Kink said.
"No kidding. What's step number two?"
"Another drone?"
"Are you serious?"
"Two drones?"
"No."
"Three? Look, I can throw out about a hundred drones. If I launch them all at once then maybe a few of them will be able to reach the next door and let us in."
"And what happens if none of them do?"
"Nothing, Frank. I'm out a few drones."
"We might as well try this before we try something more dangerous." Kink preceded to slowly let out her army of drones. One by one they emerged from her exoskeleton, one by one they exited the force field, and one by one they were blown away.
"Ok," I said. "Now what?"
"Now we move on to plan B.”
"Are you sure it's not 'plan C'?"
"Who cares? We're moving on to the next step and that is..." But Kink stopped as the air began to swirl around us.
"What is this?" I asked. "Another defensive measure?"
"Um..."
