"Minus two degrees," the thermometer said.
"Shut up."
"What do you think?"
"It looks like it's trapped somehow. See? If you set your foot on that
stone, you push it down and some kind of trap gets sprung. My guess is
something falls from that panel in the ceiling."
"Let's open it."
"The cold must be affecting your brain... We might set it off and get
sealed in here forever!"
"You're right. I'll take a look on the astral, see if I can get through
the panel and find out what's behind it."
A few seconds passed. "It's a trap alright, but a really weird one.
There's a net up there that glows with life. I tried sticking my hand
through it but it wouldn't budge. I say look it up in the computer."
"Good idea... What keywords?"
"Microorganisms of some kind, I think. Try looking for 'astrally active
bacteria'."
"Two matches found," the computer's voice announced.
"Great, pull them up."
"Hey, these contradict themselves. Who wrote them?"
"They're both by the same guy, a certain 'FASA Mike'. In one he says it's
astrally active, in the other he denies it. Still, maybe we can learn
something from them. I guess we have to thank this GRANITE guy for
reposting them so recently..."
"From the rest of those logs you have there, I'd say it isn't a popular
topic among the people who wrote all that gibberish. Does it say how we
can avoid it?"
"Not that I've found. Maybe we should just press on. I'll lead the way
if you're still scared of the trap. We've found the trigger, haven't we?"

"Ogodogodogodogodogodogodogod..."
"How could you fail to see that?! It MUST have been in the trap too,
clearly visible on the astral, no?!!"
"It's life that matters on the astral, you know! Dead carps aren't
alive!!"
"But that stench! I mean, that should have tipped anyone off!"
"Let's just get on and get the treasure out, shall we? I need that
Johnson's payment."
"Why? You've already got a load of fish, and although I'm not a
connoisseur, I don't think that goes well with chocolate..."
"Shut up."
(Hey Dvixen, does this count for the Tue, 25 Nov 1997 03:20:50 -0800
challenge? :) Oh, and you can add it to the lecture site.)
