Looking at the numerous flashing lights around him, Mr. Slavinois knew immediately that something was wrong. Not that it was the flashing of the lights that troubled him - they always did that. What he was worried about was the way they flickered, random and chaotically fast, not the mesmerizing order that had been the normal occurrence before. Of course it's not enough I work my tail off keeping this school in line, but now I have to go chasing after every little glitch in the new software.
As head of the technical support, however, he had no choice to investigate.
He headed off in the direction the flashing lights told him. The system was set up in a way where when something went wrong somewhere in the school, lights would flicker pointing in the direction of the general area. It made it easy to pinpoint the problem. It also made a person want to go into seizures and go crazy watching them on the way.
As he walked the engineering corridors, he thought to himself, Why am I even here? There are a million other jobs that need my expertise, all of which pay better than the miserly salary this stupid school supplies me with. What am I -
His train of thought was cut short as he nearly collapsed with shock - he had reached the maintenance room where the problem had originated. The door was a solid steel two foot thick vault door. The label at the top read, "Dimensional Quantogenics: Storage". No...
He ran back down the corridor in the direction of the Principal's office as fast as he could. There was only one thing that could trigger an alarm in the quantogenics lab. Something had caused a dimensional flux, and now a gateway to another world was opened. This could be either the greatest thing to have happened in the history of mankind. Or, possibly, the worst.
