Snippet #1020115

Gavin came around the corner and found that no one was there. Something didn't add up and he didn't like it.

Had he been heard? Gavin debated whether he should continue with stealth and possibly be attacked or go all out and make noise, which of course would draw friends and foes alike.

Gavin's tendrils quickly pulled in and started wrapping themselves around him and then expanded making a metal ball. He quickly rolled out into the main room and was welcomed by more silence. He was safe in his cocoon, more or less, so he expanded it slowly so that it was larger and there were slight cracks between the tendrils so that he could look around.

"This is it," he said as he looked at about twelve different monitors that looked over the surrounding area for maybe a distance of ten blocks. Gavin let one tendril uncoil as he moved it over to the surveillence system and then felt something touch the side of his head.

"Bang," said a familiar voice of one of his instructors. " You were doing so well to Private Gears. If you had looked around more you would have noticed this place is also being monitored in case of intrusion." The gun withdrew from Gavin's cocoon and pointed to another set of screens which were of the doors and windows of this place.

"End simulation," said the voice as the entire room fizzed out into a huge empty room that had one giant class well, where other instructors and trainees observed each other's progress. "Better luck next time Gears."

"..." Gavin just nodded.
