"Too easy?" A strong feminine voice boomed from the darkness, confident, amused, and almost otherworldly. It might hold a bit of familiarity, but not enough to identify why. "Then shall we make it more complicated?" A dark laugh followed those words. Whatever few emergency lights were on in the large room went black, leaving only the blinking LED blips of hard drive lights and other various little indicators flashing about the room. The boys would find themselves in complete blackness beyond that.
"When you boys were young children, did you ever imagine the floor was something other than a surface on which you could walk?" There was something far too foreboding to her voice.
The lights came back on to reveal that the ground was, quite suddenly, made of lava. Or so it appeared. The bubbling, churning, molten liquid gave off no heat. The ground at their feet was solid, but beyond that... The woman stood on a solid slab next to the main computer, which was on the other side of the room. "How will you boys reach me? Perhaps you should just turn back."
