TM 150 Tunnel 2006 (Halloween)

I remember that. I remember it well. That was the tunnel that nobody should have noticed. Look at it. So innocent. Oh, the glamour wasn’t designed particularly well. The road, such as it is, is a bit too like a stream-bed. The designers didn’t know the earth that well. I think they worked from pictures. The path could easily have gone over that little rise. It looks as though there's a road or even a rail-track passing over the top, but anyone who knew the area could have told you that it was just a hill.

Look at the way the shadow falls in there. Look at the way things blur. That scene at the end, that’s a reflection of the scene behind you, as you linger, taken with an unknown dread. Look at the trail, it’s been cleared a little, do you see? It must be safe, there are footsteps going in. I don’t see any coming out though, do you?

That was the stable portal. My people sent it over after I lost a couple of Minions on a simple trip from LA to Sunnydale. The idea was that if it was set up right away, fast enough to lead to the same place aa a misrouting portal, it would stay open for long enough to let an operative get through, get the job done and return the same way.

The problem is, looking at it from this end doesn’t really tell you anything about the place where it’s going to take you…
