OOM: Milliways? seriously?

Toronto Sector
Warehouse 13
South Dakota

In theory, Claudia is dusting. In practice... well, in practice, she'll conceivably be done about three months from now, just in time to start all over again. (Even that's assuming she wouldn't need to eat, or sleep, or stop to help untangle something Pete and Myka are chasing down.) Cleaning is gonna get to be a real drag, at this rate, especially since the Warehouse is a little TARDIS-y - but what else can one expect, when M.C. Escher was on the designing committee?

(She still wants to know how the hell the Warehouse people got Edison and Tesla to work together on something.)

Anyway. Part of the holdup is that it's hard to dust things properly when you're not supposed to touch them, and Claudia hasn't invested in nearly enough lotion to keep the purple gloves on the whole time. The other part is that she's reading the Artifact tags as she goes along. Some of the stuff's kinda frightening, but on the whole, she still thinks it's a warehouse of Epic Win.

And then, at the end of an aisle, she spots a door leaning against a support pillar, with a tag on it. A tag that says KEEP DOOR CLOSED AND LATCHED AT ALL TIMES! THIS MEANS YOU! at the bottom.

...Well, if that doesn't have a way of catching one's eye, Claudia doesn't know what does. So she heads over, and reads the tag from the bottom up.

All things considered, 'interdimensional nexus' is... a little worrisome, as is the part about possibly getting stuck in said interdimensional nexus indefinitely; after what happened to Joshua, it's not exactly her idea of a picnic. No idea where it's from, when it got here or how, blah blah blah...

Fixture #768898D, "MILLIWAYS" DOOR

"...Wait, Milliways? Seriously?"

The tag doesn't answer, but she hadn't really expected it to.

"Now, this I have to see." That decided, Claudia unlocks the door and (slowly; she's impulsive, not stupid) pulls it open.

milliways, canon time is now
