I walk past a handful of creatures looking to the square device called the data-map.It showed me as a purple dot blinking on and off in the maze.The Creatures were talking about some sport; it sounded like sports because of the mention of numbers and games.I had to keep myself inline about not acting shady walking to the very door to freedom.

That is until the red lights went off and the emergency unbearable  intercom voices came to. 

"Prisoner has escaped!" The intercom shrieks.

Except this alert was much less louder. I assume it  must be because of the helmet,which is doing a good job. I take a turn to the let right on time when a group of creatures ran by. I had a sigh of relief that they didn't suspect their own armor was being used by  a human; yet. 

"Kindip guard 590699-Kdeb has been found deceased in a human's cell!" The announcement went on.  "Beware of the--Frost giant and unearthly human has been spotted! Do not treat them nicely; kill them!"

"Oh hell." I said.

It seems if this plan fails; we're all dead.

I look down to the map seeing the two energy signatures; one being red and the other being blue coming from the other side of the building.I saw the creature's signatures headed their way. I look over to my left seeing a box connected to the wall.I guess that must be a transformer box, or a power generator.I yank off the door to the box using my hands--that are in big tough gloves--,keeping the data-map on using some machinery that hooked it to my shoulder.I tore out a couple cables from the box making the room and the hallways go dark. The energy signatures on the map stopped in in their tracks.Loki's and Peter's signature went the other direction as the standing dumb creatures were completely lost in the dark.

I am very proud of my achievement.

"Karen is going to be proud of her little brother." I said.

I take the data-map off my shoulder armor then click on a few buttons to find the flight depart hangar.Peter must have a data-map of his own, I assumed following the directions from the Data-pad for a awhile. A while must be pretty much thirty minutes in earth time, I guess. I continued walking down the hall following the data-map to the flight hangar until a argument with familiar voices came to.There was not any energy signatures on the data-map.

"What do you mean Dolphins can fly?" Loki asks. "Dolphins cannot fly."

"They did in The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy." Peter said.

"Peter, that was a movie." Loki said. A movie I have not heard of until today.  "I will believe they can fly when I see it."

"Dad, you saw it two minutes ago." Peter said. 

"No." Loki said. "You're just imagining things, that was the trick room playing with your mind."

I came closer and closer. 

"Dolphins are the most intelligent creatures on the planet. " I  said. "They can do the impossible."

A blast of coldness froze me in place.There came an  uncanny familiar cold feeling making its way down through the armor towards the skin in a very medical show demonstration.Oh yes, this mental image reminds me of Mystery Diagnoses.

"Dad!" Peter said. "You've frozen Henry!"

Loki is shielding his eyes using his left hand, shifting towards Peter's direction.

"Who's idea was it to wear the Kindips armor?" Loki asks.

"Mine." Peter said.

"And you just decided to tell me Henry is in Kindip armor." Loki said. "You're late."
