Well, it had to happen one day, Gabe Lewinski thought as he noted the flickering red light. Before raising the alarm, he checked the video feed. The screen showed the thermal image of a man close to the barrier. Intruder confirmed. “We have a trespasser at Kielder, Gate 6, sir.”
“Let me see,” demanded First Officer Kendrick Kingsley before striding across to Lewinski’s desk to view the screen. He hung over his shoulder, watched the man’s movements for several tense moments, grunted, and then said: “Let him in. It’s hungry.”
