  Peter didn’t have nearly the trip to make. He was glad to have at least Bartholomew’s dis-enchantment stone, even if he did have to give up his shimmer stone in exchange for it. He thought he could probably manage the few Yeti in a single control room just fine so long as he could keep his perspective and not be overwhelmed by several screaming full-sized Yeti.

  As it was, he got off the easiest. He waited outside the first aerial doors’ control room and in the shadows against the complex’s outer walls. When the helicopter started rising he heard several childish sounding Yeti voices exclaim, “Eeewwweeee!” and they all exited the control booth to see what was going on.

  Once inside, Peter locked the door and shut off all the lights. There were no blast shields or blinds on this control room, at least none that he could find, so he did his best not to attract attention to himself while he located the controls. Finding them just as the copter rose out of sight through the middle aerials he punched the control and his overhead doors began swinging open too.

  Outside the booth some of the Yeti noticed the second set of doors opening too and oo’d and ah’d their lively action too. Peter ducked down but peered just over the edge of the lower window frame and caught site just a few seconds later of the third giant aerial doors beginning to move far down the length of the facility.

  Did it! Peter thought nearly out loud. They had all managed their part of the plan. Now it was just up to Qanik and Josh to create the diversion, like a modern Pied-Piper.
