Fall of Colossus
“In a building covering more than thirty square miles—and still growing—that was hardly surprising; in addition there were compartments whose very existence was unknown to him. This was one.Sect Lodge One, located in a subterranean level deep below the public concourse, was housed in what had been designated as a general storage area. Colossus had reallocated it when the Sect became a recognized reality and of potential value. Apart from the rare maintenance worker ghosting by on his tricycle, f...ew passed that way, and those who did knew better than to pry beyond the door bearing the Sect badge. Not that that would have done much to satisfy such dangerous curiosity. The inner door, blank and uninformative, opened solely to Sect members and only to them, after Colossus had checked their visual identity and electronic badge with the record. If both matched, the inner door opened.But if the records failed to coincide, the inner door remained closed, and the outer one at once locked. An alarm sounded in a distant office, and the unfortunate, trapped, had to wait for investigation.MoreLess
