"We went to him, he was looking for a smaller venue to try out those new techniques he had discovered," Hiyumi said.

Nathan nodded as he made some more notes.

Hiyumi fished some keys out of her purse, opened the front doors with them, let everyone inside before closing and locking them behind everyone.

"I'll admit there's a slight design problem," Hiyumi said, as you can see a large amount of light through some thick glass in the front area of the building. "We'll have  to cut through one of the biomes to get to Galen's set up. The mountain one is easier."

"Biomes?" Nathan asked.

"The conservatory has three different areas that simulate different nature biomes. One is mountain, the others being jungle and desert," Hiyumi said as she looked down at her phone. "I se Galen isn't answering. I'm going ahead to let him know we're coming. See you later."

Hiyumi headed in.

Nathan adds that to his notes, and follows the signs towards the mountain biome.

As you enter the mountain biome, you find yourself in a rather rocky place that has a slight angle heading up at about twenty degrees. You see a path and several bushes. There are some colourful glass rods in the ground further in.

"So, what's your deal?" Hana asked, following you.

Nathan takes a shot of the Biome, trying to catch the way the rods catch the light. "I am a journalist for an arts magazine," he explained "I do both writing and camera work for some of the articles," he explained.

The rods began to give off a strange light.

Nathan's eyebrows rose "Well that is something," he said "I wonder how Mr. Galen got them to do that."

"He said something about ultraviolet light. That's like a black light, right?" Hana asked.

"That's right," Nathan said "Fascinating," he murmured. "Do you often attend these events?" he asked Hana.

"No, but mom didn't want me staying home alone on a day off," Hana said.

"Ah, well I hope you'll not be too bored," he said as they walked through the biome.

The tubes began to slowly wave back and forth.

Nathan blinked and took some more photos "That is incredible. I look forward to hearing Mr Galen explanation. To allow glass to move like that must be hard."

"Oh my god," a male voice behind you said.

"This can't be happening," a woman said, also behind you.

Nathan turned to see what they were talking about.

They were looking at the walls of the conservatory, which were now glowing like the rods.

"What the..."  Nathan said shocked "What's going on?" as he started at the glass. "That doesn't look right, maybe we should get out of here," he suggested looking for the nearest exit.

The doors you came in through were all made of glass and were glowing as well. Squinting, you can see the doors are sealed.

"My mom! What about my mom?" Hana asked. "She's not answering her phone!"

"Damn what is going on around here," Nathan said "Your Mom said she was going to see Mr Galen right? Do you know where his workshop is?"

"It's further in," Hana said. A sudden blob of glowing material whizzed by your head.

"What the hell? Quick run," Nathan yelled looking to see what had thrown the thing at him.

There was a crack and sizzle as a pool of hot melted glass cooled on the ground.
