She widened the scan radius again. “Strange...” she
commented.
“What's strange?” Albert asked.
“There's a secret entrance on the western side, that
leads to the first basement level,” Hernandez answered.
“Wouldn't that be locked?” Lawson asked.
“Someone may have been remise,” Hernandez pointed out.

“You know how that can change,” the Doctor commented.
“Definitely,” Felicia and Thomas both said. Felicia
looked at Thomas, wondering how that happened. 'I wouldn't meet him again,' she
thought.
…
“What's the problem?” The Doctor asked.
“Not too much of one,” the agent commented. “It's just
that I have to go into the Terminal. It's going to take a while.”
“We'll be waiting,” the Doctor said.

Excerpt
from: Daria in the Background
Daria Morgendorffer just wanted to be left alone. As she
had grown up she had found she was different to the other children, and to her
sister Quinn. She was more intelligent and not as outgoing as others. Over the
years she had found ways to blend into the background so others would not
notice her. It didn’t always work. Teachers always noted how good her work was,
even if her writing was unusual for a child her age. Then there was that dumb
duo in Highland who hung around her sometimes.
Things were to change when the Morgendorffers moved to
Lawndale, a middle class small city in northern Maryland. The description of
the town made it seem perfect for someone who wanted to complete their High
School education without drawing too much attention, but she didn’t know that
her efforts would be to no avail.
1111 Glen Oaks Lane, Lawndale; September 15, 1997 7:30
AM
Having finished cleaning her teeth, Daria looked over
herself in mirror. She wanted to be sure that her impression of an average
teenager was infallible. That no one other than the people she wanted to notice
her would look twice at her. Mousy auburn hair tied back in a high ponytail.
‘Check,’ she thought as she looked at herself sideways. Tied back so, the hair
fell to just below her shoulder blades. There was some length to it, but it was
still shorter than Quinn’s. She then looked lower. Face washed.
Check. Understated clear lip gloss. Check. Understated
light green dress. Check. She was about as different from Quinn as she could
be. And right on cue, there was knocking on the door. She then went to open it,
allowing Quinn in. “There you go.”
“Gosh, Daria, you’re going like that?” Quinn asked.
“At least I’m not dressed in pink,” Daria shot back as
she left the bathroom.
“Ha!” Quinn said as she slammed the door.
Lawndale High; 8:30 AM
Arriving at Lawndale High, Quinn drew all the attention,
with a girl in pigtails asking her name.
“Quinn Morgendorffer,” she answered. She didn’t
understand why Daria didn’t want any attention.

“Lazy!” the Princess commented.
“I don’t want to have my back thrown out, thank you!” Q Junior
shot back.
The Princess didn’t say anything to that.
