They worked in tandem once more, and Deimos surveyed the scene, pondering how they’d get around the traps. There was certainly enough room if one was careful, and considering they’d already exposed the trigger points, it should’ve been relatively easy.

Alas, hence why this was a training exercise.

Amhran and Catalina were indeed meticulous in their attempts, sliding right around, avoiding the intentional pitfalls – and then Elizabeth snagged on one. Entirely by accident, of course, but they’d see that though they’d met their destination, the pillar holding the ‘child’ suddenly became a foot taller.

Luckily, they were all clustered at the column now, and the baby still dangled precariously there, just…a bit higher.

Oop – the group is at the pillar and has bypassed the other traps, but the baby is now about eight feet up.
