She traces a line with her finger of her passage thus far. Clipped to the blueprint is a photo of a group of men at a bizarre museum exhibit. One distinguished looking man in the foreground has a red circle drawn around his face. She looks back up at the flickering light as she replaces her blueprint. Without warning, the corridor lights up and the sound of running footsteps approaches from one end.
Aeon turns and runs in the opposite direction.
After a series of twists and bends in the corridor, Aeon ends up at the edge of a steep concrete cliff, facing a fifty meter gap and a cliff on the opposite side which leads deeper into the fortress' center. Within the gap, hangs a swing consisting simply of a narrow platform suspended by thin wires which seem to disappear, like the walls, upward into infinity. The swing sways back and forth between the two cliffs in an erratic rhythm impossible to decipher, and does so far away enough from the edge of the cliff that Aeon would have to make a daring leap just to get on. The cliff on the far side is both at a higher level and farther from the swing's central axis than the cliff where Aeon now stands, so that once on the swing, she would need to increase its momentum considerably to cross the gap. Aeon hesitates repeatedly, allowing the swing to come and go while the sound of approaching Breens grows ever louder.
