On the interior running track, Eric was running a very, very quick pace.

No sooner had he done a lap on the track than his wireless port was, again, assaulted by a datastream bypassing his security measures.

Eric tripped, skidding into the side wall.

"Oh, bollicks... where the hell is Cal?" he said, struggling off the ring.

The datastream was, with the keys Cal had given him the last time, easily decoded, and with Eric's speed, quickly decoded.

"Yep, confirmed. another one.."

He rushed to the main quad, headed for Cal's dorm at a speed resembling a blur.
