Despite having asked to visit the robotics bay, Thallium had grown bored as soon as he entered the room. He watched impassively as a group of security personel hurried past him, their motive quite clear:

Something was going wrong, and they had to fix it.

He considered following the soldiers to see what the fuss was about, but he quickly discarded the thought as he glanced at some of the scientists and their guide. They'd stop him as soon as he started making his way towards the door, that much was certain.

Instead, he turned and headed back the way he had come. He was surprised, however, to find that even the checkpoint they had only just passed was deserted - the guard having left in a hurry not too long after they had walked through. Where to, though, Thallium did not know.

"Sheesh...what's going on in this place?" he wondered, and continued walking. After only a couple of steps, though, he paused and wondered whether this was OK. He shouldn't be walking around aimlessly in this high-tech facility, should he? He didn't want to be accused of being a spy or anything like that, after all. Nodding to himself, he spun on his heels and began walking back the way he came.

Barely a minute passed before Thallium came to the conclusion that he was quite lost. How he had managed it by walking in a straight line, he had no idea. The empty hallway eventually led to a pair of sliding doors, one going left, the other to the right. With no nameplates above either of them, it looked as if things were only going to get worse of the young student.

He sighed and eyed both doors warily, unsure which way to go. He growled in frustration, and at his own horrible sense of direction.

"Man, why does this always happen to me?"
