Akurle opserved the computers and tried to turn them on. Almost all the screens were cracked, and one computer lay in peices on the floor. The place looked very old, even though it had been here only a week or so, but Akurle knew that strong phantom pollution could make things decay and rot much faster.

"How did they build this so fast? The first team sent here had only been here a week," Felicity muttered to herself as she observed a torn up map that was too damaged to be any use.

"Maybe the phantoms created it and the search team took it over," Akurle answered.

"I wasn't talking to you," Felicity snapped. She pried open a beaten up lockbox and was disappointed to find it empty. "Ugh, this is no use. The place has been trashed."

"Well, we should at least see if we can find anything useful before we just leave. After all, it could be-"

"And who made you the leader?!" Felicity growled, storming up to Akurle. Her tail lashed back and forth in anger.

It was difficult for Akurle to stay calm. She gritted her teeth and said, "No one. I'm just pointing something out that could be very useful."

"Well, this place doesn't look very useful to me. Obviously the phantoms know about this place, and they could be here at any second. In fact, they may already know that we are here!"

"They will if you keep screaming like that," Akurle hissed. The moment she said it, she regretted it. She was angry, but putting it into words like that was no help to anyone.

Felicity hissed and suddenly turned around and stormed out of the room, going down a staircase Ak hadn't even realized was there. Akurle pretended like she was unaffected and continued attempting to turn on the computers. It took several tries until she finally got one to turn on, but the screen was just static, until it eventually turned black. She managed to turn on another, but it wouldn't let her do anything until she entered a password that she didn't know. "Hey, does anyone knew how to hack into a locked computer?" she asked.
