Salting the Slug

For two days, I just took life casually. There was a book to sign myself out and back into the barracks, and I made liberal use of it.

Actually, it is amazing how much of a three dimensional maze of interlocking bars the artisans could make and attach in a single day. The whole thing was modular, so that it could be re-assembled as needed.

[Food!] Blue demanded.

I placed a bundle of flowers on the level above him, showed him by pictures how to reach them. The snag was a rotating cylinder, which could be held in place from either top or bottom. It was near impossible for a single being to ascend, but easy for a team of them to do. There were several places like that in the maze.

There were places for climbing, open areas, tight areas, and cunning obstacles that I hadn't planned on.
