Dani was feeling proud of herself as she slipped out of the admin room. She hadn’t managed to reactivate the DimDisks, but she had managed to get the data that Pegasus had asked her to recover. That wasn’t why she was feeling proud of herself though.
No, why she was feeling proud of herself was because of one simple thing. The key card she was holding was the only one that was synched to the new pass-code she had encoded. Everything related to the final section of the game, including the boss room, where they planned on sacrificing everyone, was locked up using the pass-code system to prevent people skipping to the end.
Now she had control over the system. They wouldn’t be able to trap the players in their web if they couldn’t get them into the ritual room. As long as she held the only key, the other players were safe.
There was something else too. The electronic locks, the ones she had just reprogrammed, were all that stood between her and not only the boss room but all the secrets within.
The keycard slot for the ‘waiting room’ was hidden under a fake stone in the medieval wall that opened up to reveal the much less medieval looking electronic lock. “Open seseme.” She chuckled as she swiped her keycard through it, grinning when it bleeped and she heard the sound of the door unlocking.
She slipped inside, shutting the door behind her and grinning when she heard it lock again, feeling more confident once she was certain that she was the only one around and would be until she let anyone in.
There were stairs to the left that she suspected led up to the balconies. She was much more interested in the fact that there was no door into the next room, just a black cloth that she suspected would be lowered when the time was ‘right’. She pushed it aside, leaving the almost pitch black corridor to enter the main room of the castle.
