More penguins

You come to a grate - but you manage, barely, to stand on your legs. For a few seconds, at least. Just before your legs buckle beneath you, you push the grate open and drag Fred with you. A bit of water spills around you, but you quickly close the grate... and realize where you are.

THIS is a Control Centre! An enormous room - the size of a ballroom - stretches out before you. The roof is hundreds of feet above your head... it's like a metallic church! Metallic because everywhere you look, wires are stretched. Hundreds and thousands of computers are in this room - mounted on walls, on desks, even on the floor, facing up. All manned by either mechanical arms or penguins with ukeleles at their sides. You and Fred creep along a metallic balcony above all this... and come to a choice. Three doors are before you - one is enormous and metallic, one is wooden and flimsy, and one is made of solid ebony and adorned with runes.

"Which one?" Fred whispers.

The wooden one is flimsy and old... it reminds you of dungeons and deep, dark caves, full of monsters. However, the metallic door is enormous and could slam shut behind you. And although the ebon door stands out a great deal, you sense a malefic presence, and darkness and evil behind the runes.

Well, it's your choice, really...
