TERESA POV
The WICKED employee keeps her calm but her restless eyes give away her fear. My corridor is the closest to the room but when I look back at Rachel and Newt's doors they are both wide open which means they're already heading to the flat-trans. It must have taken a little while for the employee to wake me up. I feel like I know her but I realise I don't know her name.
"What's your name?" I ask
She gives me a confused expression but I continue to look at her. "That's not very important." She replies.
"I know, but what is it?" I push.
She hesitates a moment before answering. "Maia"
I nod. I know you, Maia. She continues to walk at a brisk pace. It is only once we hear a crazed shout that we start to run. My body aches but the fear of being eaten by a crank over powers my urge to sit down.
"Almost there!" Maia shouts back.
"How close?" I exclaim.
"One more turn!" She replies. There are only a few more steps before we turn to the right. We pass a few more doors until Maia stops abruptly.
"It's been a pleasure, Teresa." She says, a solemn look in her eyes.
"Thank you." And I mean it in more ways than one.
She opens the door for me and I cautiously walk in. The door slams shut behind me and I immediately turn back to see that there is no trace of Maia. I turn back with wide eyes. Newt and Rachel are there, in front of a murky, grey wall, looking worriedly at me. Beside them, Ava is standing with a clipboard held tightly in front of her chest.
"Hello Teresa, please come and join us." I walk up to the small group giving both Newt and Rachel questioning glances, but they look as clueless as I do.
"Behind that Flat Tran is location ABI, you all have been given backpacks I see." She says gesturing to the bags strapped around our backs.
"In there you will have basic utilities such as clothes, toiletries and a small amount of water and food. We do not expect you will need any of this because we believe that they would have created civilisation about a mile near where we have positioned the trans." She pauses before continuing to let the information sink in.
"Like I said yesterday please make sure you inform someone who doesn't have much connection to you so they can warn the others. We don't want anyone to go into shock." We all nod, understanding.
"I see no reason to postpone your trip any longer. She looks at all of us individually before saying "Thank you for all you have done for us."
I look over at the others reactions. Newt gives her a short nod and Rachel glances over to the flat trans. I look over at Ava as if to find some clue of her intentions.
Newt is the first to enter the flat trans. He doesn't even hesitate before diving into the grey, swirling wall. Rachel goes next; she glances over at me with a nervous look on her face. I give her a little nod and she walks into the Tran. I'm about to walk in myself but a hand on my wrist hold me back. I look over to see Ava with a reassuring look on her face. My first instinct is to pull away but something in the look on her face tells me not to.
"I've watched you grow up and I just wanted to say... You and Thomas have made me very proud."
I am at a loss for words so I give her a look of understanding hoping she'll know what I really mean. She loosens her grip and I stare at the silver wall for a second before walking into the icy liquid.
