"Follow me," Kim Lee says. "We will find the U-TY. But remember, if we say the wrong thing, they will store us forever, like eggs in a carton."

Your new friend leads you through a series of long, twisting corridors. Sometimes you pass through walls that dissolve at her touch and then form again behind you.
