Insider crept along the tunnels in the darkness. The night vision goggles were one of the thinnest models available during some era in the distant future. Not larger than a pair of sunglasses, they were easily concealed among other possessions and had been safely tucked away since Insider's arrival in Vas Captio. It was not a very long trek to the spot where Insider had been spending time in secret for some days now. The extra journal sat exactly where it had been left but there were new things in the personal space. Insider stopped, breath quickening with anticipation. There was no other light down here and therefore, most likely, no ambush for how would anyone know when the owner of the journal would return? How would Insider be detected in the pure darkness? No, it had to be safe. So a few steps were taken and the note was read. A slow smile formed on the Insider's face beneath the thin, standard secret intelligence issue (again in some distant future) face scrambling mask.
Sliding the Twinkie into an inner pocket of the black jacket worn, Insider scribbled a quick response to the note on a second piece of ripped journal paper.
