Having been set free from his embrace, she looked at him, cocked an eyebrow and with a tinge of amazement spoke. "You climbed really fast up and down those pillars, man. Almost like you hadn't noticed that they were there." She didn't care much for whether or not he had thought he had lost her, she only cared about whether or not he was ready to stop this crawling around in dungeons and get the hell on with their decided task. She held the paper she had just read up in front of his face, and then calmly smiled. It was a faint smile, almost not there after all, but even though she didn't want to admit it, she was happy that she had been found. Apparently it helps to mindlessly scream when you need a little help.

"I found all this, it explains why the golems are here, and what happened. It was a bunch of people who experimented on other people, but they forgot to think about the fact that people get pissed when you experiment on them, so they're dead, but not the 'experimentees', 'cause they're probably the ones stomping around, and I think we should snatch this dead guys money and jewels and then run. Do you remember the way out?" She asked him as she moved back to the table and opened every drawer in search of valuables. She had already taken a great deal of the papers that had been left behind and stuffed them in her pockets, and now searched every nook for coins, sparkly rocks, jewellery, whatever the man could have been hiding. Within seconds her search became so frantic that she simply flipped the table over and started tearing it apart.

and that was when luck struck.

A toolbox landed with a heavy 'thunk' on the ground, where it remained, looking completely ordinary. "I knew there had to be something! Stand back!" She shouted, her face having turned red in partial exhaustion and partial exhilaration. She kicked the toolbox with all her strength, and watched as it slid several metres and then opened. "Locks are no match for weak teenage girls. Everyone knows that." She whispered as she moved to it, and stuck her hand in to investigate. What she found was amazing. The most complicated wrench she had ever laid eyes on. Lavishly decorated, with at least five small gears that served a purpose she didn't know yet. It was very heavy, but she still showed it to Ford, proud to be the owner of it.

"I'm sorry it took so long. I had a feeling that I'd find something here, and I really couldn't help it." Coriander paused for a moment, and then looked at him with an apologetic smile. "Lead the way!"
