Journey to the Centre of the Centre: Part Four

This part was written by Max Clark (@snowbafeld)

Max, after receiving a number they didn't understand knew they had to try and figure out what it meant or related to. She began searching the lab, there had to be some kind of hint somewhere, right? They paused, eyes focusing in on a strange box like shape in the wall, she approached it, prying the doors open, because of course they were manual doors. She eyed the inside of the box like space spotting some punch cards, maybe the number relates to this? They lifted a card and the punch tool, putting down the numbers, pushing the card into it's slot. Their ear twitched at a loud noise emanating from the machine, perhaps using random old tech wasn't clever. Max quickly dived out of the door, scrambling behind a counter, praying the thing wouldn't blow up, or at least not blow up enough to hurt her, as it began to glow.
