He attaches a small electronic device to the fence with small metal clips. In doing so, he removes his black leather gloves and tucks them into his belt. The device hangs on several long straps. \par \par The device has a small red light on it. He presses a button, and the light goes green. The indicator light on top of the fence, which glows a steady red, flickers for an instant and then burns strongly.

He wipes the blood on his shirt and continues. \par \par The corridors are well lit and security guards walk the halls, but Novek avoids them and penetrates the very heart of the facility.

He works on the computer for several se conds, and then attaches a memory stick to a use port. On-screen dialogue tells us that he is stealing formulas for several weapon and security devices. He watches the data download, keeping an eye on his surroundings. The screen shows a password request for a file called Knight Automated Roving Robot: Molecular Bonded Shell Data. \par \par Novek, obviously very interested in this, mouths the words, and picks up his lantern. Only now does he notice that he has rested the lantern on the hood of a sleek black car. T he car is so black as to be near invisible in the dark room. Novek picks up the lantern and examines the car more closely. He gives the lantern a turn, revealing more of the car. Cables of all sorts and secretions are strung throughout the car, some runni ng into the open windows, others into the hood or underneath.

He reads the words \lquote Turbo\rquote \lquote Rocket Thruster\rquote \lquote Utility Laser\rquote \lquote Ejection System\rquote and other details of KARR\rquote s functionality.
