The window-less, large room was the most secure area in the entire building, and only three people had unauthorised access: Müller, Pappenheim, and Kaltendorf. Every wall save one, from floor to ceiling, was lined with wide, steel cabinets, each with its own keypad. A tall, wheeled ladder which hung from a solid rail and had a two-ton breaking limit, could be slid to each cabinet in the room. The centrepiece of the room was a wide and solidly-built central table, with a white top that also served as a photographic light box. At the single wall without a cabinet, was a big desk with a computer on it. Already very powerful, it had been improved far beyond its original specifications by Hedi Meyer - a power junkie when it came to computers - who had seemingly locked herself into a continuing upgrade cycle. She was always tinkering with it. The goth had already made it the most powerful computer in the entire building, beating even those in her own department. On either side of the keyboard, were two items that had made Kaltendorf blow some fuses when he had first seen them: a joystick and throttle that seemed to have come out of an F-16 jet fighter, courtesy of the goth herself.
