Between clicking the dials of the device, your ears catch a click that is out of place. There's a footstep. The door bumps in its frame. The handle rattles. Someone is coming in.
With only an instant to react, you snap the setting towards reduction and twist the strength knob. You won't, you can't, let yourself give up. It's too soon. You won't be caught. No one can stop you if you have the professor's invention. She was careless to leave it lying about.
With the transposer held firmly in your hand, an involuntary shake sweeps down your arm. You didn't expect to have to shoot anyone to get out of the building. You're unsure if you can even pull the trigger on the intruder. They may have more right to be here than you do. It could be the professor herself. You cast off the nerves. You have to do this. You are steel. The transposer is warm in your grasp. Your finger is ready on the trigger as the door opens. It's time to see what the transposer is capable of.
