They walked through the cave while discussing the coins that had fallen from the spider and where the portal had brought them, and the girl named Celina seemed to suggest they might not be on Earth anymore. [color=0072bc]"Well - Celina, was it? - you don't have to worry about that. If this was an alien planet, we'd have company other than those spiders. Actually, I wouldn't be surprised if they covered half the country by now..."[/color] Shaula replied as she spotted the same 'II' marking on the wall they had passed earlier. Perhaps Trevor shouldn't be the one leading them. He seemed to be thinking the same thing, because just then he stopped and asked if anyone else was good at mazes. [color=0072bc]"Here, use this,"[/color] Shaula said, [color=0072bc]"but [i]don't[/i] lose it. That's my only one."[/color] Jason asked what they were doing in the cave and what happened to the world, and Shaula raised her eyebrows in surprise - for someone who was so closed-minded as to call her a "conspiracy theorist," he actually asked some good questions. [color=0072bc]"I don't know about you guys, but I'm here to figure out what's [i]really[/i] going on and put a stop to it. It wasn't just some freak accident that turned people into these - these things. Something did this to us."[/color] Shaula turned to Trevor. [color=0072bc]"Where'd that portal even come from? You said something about some thieves going through it?"[/color]
