Perhaps it was the flickering lights as the operations center switched over to the emergency supply that attracted their attention. Who knows, for whatever reason, they noticed.
"What is going on here?" the observer demanded. "Have they destroyed all the cameras?"
"No sir," the technician said as he took his seat. "The power has been cut off. I don't understand how, there the cables are too myriad within the maze for them to shut off power everywhere."
"Hey," Mr Cotton said. "At least they can't get out now. How are they going to force those doors open."
"You did THIS?!" the technician asked. "You fool, those doors are sealed by electro-magnet. Without power they are much EASIER to open!" Mr. Cotton gasped in shock as the technician, still as nameless as his superior, rushed to return main power to the maze and the operations center.
"Damn," the technician said in a low voice. "None of them have broken through to the outer regions of the compound, but they're spread liberally through out the maze in a search pattern...and...DAMN..." he swallowed nervously as he watched the G-Counter, Hinako, drain a nest of giant spiders dry without even touching them. He had no way to know that this was an ability she had already possessed before being altered. "And we have intruders on the upper levels."
"I know some of these faces," the observer said darkly. "Obviously it is their interference that has engendered this crisis."
