[center] It was 6 in the morning, and a heavy fog had decided to rest upon the thriving city of New San Washingago. A lone figure walked down 53rd street, and turned into an alleyway. Pulling out a key adorned with various science-esque symbols, such as a lambda, an atom, and Bill Nye's face, the figure unlocked a rusted door that had the following text engraved:[/center]

[center] As the door creaked open to reveal a small, rather shoddy hallway with three doors on either side, and a menacing metal door at the very end, the figure jumped aside as a paint can swung down. He realized he had forgotten to disarm the security system.[/center]

[center][h3]Interlude: Security[/h3][/center]

[center]Adam Philip is a very big fan of the Home Alone franchise, and so "kidnapped" (It was only for an hour) a nine year old boy to set up a security system. This included swinging paint cans and legos and jacks scattered across the floor.[/center]

[center] The figure got up from the floor, and opened the first door on the left. It was a maintenance closet. He pulled out the vacuum cleaner, and began to get rid of the various dangers scattered across the floor. After 15 minutes of such hooliganery, he returned the vacuum to the closet and set off down the hall. First, he entered the second door on the right: The Staff Lounge. It was time to test out his greatest invention yet maybe? First, he pulled out a package of microwaveable popcorn, and stuck it in for two minutes. As it began to cook, he ran back to the maintenance closet and pulled out...[b][i]THE MICROWAVE DETECTOR[/i][/b] (Argent insisted it was just a Geiger counter with a magnifying glass and a balloon taped to it, but Mr. Philip didn't care). He returned to the lounge, and the counter went off! It had worked! All he needed to do now was figure out how to hook it up so you could SEE the microwaves. But, that was work for another day. Returning the Microwave Detector to it's cheap cardboard receptacle, he threw out the now burnt popcorn and walked to his office.

Adorning the walls were the various works of the "vice president" of the Lab, Argent: [i] "Sentience and Fragmented Light: Correlations and Paradoxes", "The Importance of Children in Interdimensional Travel", and "Strains and Rifts Between Worlds"[/i]. Adam had no such works, but he did have what he considered the magnum opus when it came to dimensional technology: [i]The Cat in the Hat[/i]/ He sat down, opened the book to study it, and waited for the employees to come in.[/center]
