From Point A to Point B

Wristsponders are simple enough to use, and the capabilities of remote access to the vybernet, v-mail, holomaps, scheduling, and communications could provide one with an abbreviated form and function of a standard net terminal. Unfortunately, the one that had been issued had seen better days, and seemed that it had spent the last several years inside of the desk drawer where it had survived numerous spills, stains, and anything else that had been left in the drawer.

Trying to cue up the map to locate the room that I had been assigned, I discovered it floating in the middle of a sea of black. It would seem that the holomap program had become corrupted and parts of Tosadae were missing. Accessing the ADY Geomapping imagery database, I downloaded current topographical and schematic diagrams of Tosadae. Correlating this information with the holomap, I was able to determine where I was expected to spend my evening/early morning hours.

As I started in the appropriate direction, a building that was not on any of the maps or diagrams blocked my path, thusly I discovered that not everything available for download or on the v-net is correct and/or true.

Wandering a meandering path, I eventually arrived at my destination, and also made an interesting discovery that the fastest path to any location is not always a straight line. The chronometer indicated that 37 minutes had elapsed since I had started to this building, and put the time at 0410.

As I attempted to enter the door, I found my next challenge. The main entrance was locked, and the passkeys were locked out during certain hours for the safety of the new arrivals, and they were secured inside during these hours. The logic of this seemed flawed, why would you limit the access and secure young people inside of a building during late hours? With the general understanding that I have of Tosadae, I’m sure that the focus of its students would be to learn and gain as much knowledge as was provided and they could be trusted to get the proper amount of rest that would be required for each day’s activities. While processing this information and determining a course of action, I heard a noise around the corner that sounded like voices trying to stay quiet or secretive.

As I turned the corner, I observed a young couple enter the building through a side entrance that was being held ajar by a large piece of white cloth. A closer view of the door showed that not only was the door being held open, but a pair of micro-contacts and a piece of molecular wire was seemed to be creating a feedback loop on the alarm connector relay. Now why would someone do that?
