Ashildr had felt the rage inside her. Anubis' sudden outburst had stirred something she had hidden deep within her. This was not the kind of pompous righteous anger Anubis had shown. No, righteous anger was reserved for those who thought they knew better. Her demon, on the other hand, waged a war inside her guts, her rage fueled by millennia of seeing loved ones die. Her rage against the Oncoming Storm. Not now...

She turned her gaze away from her companion. While avoiding his eyes, she asked: How is this device going to help us find your power core?

I do not know yet. The core should have been inside this chamber. Someone must have moved it. Anubis snarled.

Can't we use the Loop to divine the core's location?, she asked.

It is worth a try. Unfortunately, someone seems to have placed new security measures on it that are unfamiliar to me. I will need some time to get to the bottom of this. Anubis returned to the touch pad and busied himself with the controls again.
