     Luckily, Katherine was allowed visitors. Susan got Katherine's mom to take
her and Blip to the place of Katherine's jailing. After several security
checks, and running Blip through a few scanners ('To make sure he wasn't a
bomb'), Susan and Blip were allowed into Katherine's cell. 
     The cell was a horrible sight. It was totally padded with white cloth.
There was one window facing the outside, but it wasn't much of a view since
thick steel bars blocked the path. But the worst of all was seeing Katherine in
the corner, shaking, trembling. She was still in the straight jacket that
Susan tried so hard to save her from. 
     Katherine spoke first. "I... I want to thank you both for trying to help
me."
     "No biggie." Said Blip, trying to remain cool.
     "I just don't understand. They're jailing you, literally, for playing a
game and trying to connect two cultures. Why not jail CyberLife, or a.g.c., or
Mindscape, too?" Susan started.
     "I heard other patients talking. They said there were more like me...
They've already committed several players." admitted Katherine. "They also said
that the doctors thought we were the worst they'd seen in a while... I was the
worst case of them all, they said, and soon they’ll move me from this cell to a
smaller cell without a window. Just a light at the top."
     "Katherine!" Susan got an idea. "I- I think maybe Blip and I can get you
out of here. Huddle closer to me." The trio discussed an idea very quietly.
They couldn't risk overhearing.
     Once all the details were worked out, they sat back. Then the door to the
cell opened. It was a rather portly nurse, with a needle. "Time for your
medicine!" the nurse chirped.
     "No, oh Gosh no...not again..." Katherine stuttered. "HELP ME!" But she
couldn’t move very fast, because of her straight jacket, so the nurse easily
pinned her. Katherine struggled hopelessly. The nurse stuck the unusually long
needle in Katherine. 
     Katherine stopped struggling. She kind of looked dazed. "I like
cheeeeeese!" she mused, then began laughing. Susan and Blip backed away in
fear. "Cheeeheeeheeese! CHEEEEEEEEEEEEEESE!" Katherine shouted. Then she stuck
out her tongue and made that 'Phbt' sound with her tongue. The visitors took
this as a sign to leave.

     It was now dusk. Susan, Blip, Jenna and Karr were sitting in the bushes
outside the asylum. "Everyone understand what they do?" Susan asked.
     "Got it." Blip replied.
     "Push yes." Jenna answered. 
     Susan took a look at the faces that surrounded her. 'Odd, how Katherine's
old creations of the past come back to ensure she has a future.' Susan thought.
"Let's do it." she commanded. 
     Jenna and Karr went out of the bushes, and through the front doors. Once
inside, Jenna went up the front desk. "Push yes hand. Get hand. Hand get
hand. Jenna push hand." she began babbling. 
     Karr helped too. "Push hand yes. Run asylum. Get yes hand. Hand push hand.
Hand run." 
     The person at the front desk picked up a WalkieTalkie. "Hello? Security?"
the attendant said. "We got a doozey down here." 
     Meanwhile, Susan and Blip stood outside the side of the asylum. 
     "Katherine's cell is on the second floor, right?" Blip asked.
     "Right there." pointed out Susan. "You up to it?"
     "Better be." Blip gulped. Susan grabbed onto Blip's base. Blip then
carried her up, up to Katherine's Cell. Then, he used a new feature Katherine
showed Susan how to make: a laser. The laser cut through the thick metal and
through the glass pane. Susan used a free hand to clear the hole Blip made.
Inside, Katherine sat, awake. Susan grabbed Blip with Both hands, and used him
to swing into Katherine's cell. 
     "Better hurry, they're going to medicate me soon!" whispered Katherine.
Susan silently undid Katherine's jacket.
     "Jenna and Karr are keeping the guards busy. Blip is outside. Hold tight
to my feet." Susan said. Then, she climbed out the window, and held on tight to
Blip. Katherine climbed out the window and grabbed Susan's feet. Blip lowered
them all to the round. The trio then tiptoed to the front, looking in the front
glass doors. 
     Karr saw them. "Run!" he shouted. Jenna and Karr pushed through the ring
of security guards that had formed around them, trying to figure out what was
happening. They joined up with everyone outside, and then disappeared.
     The group of five ran all the way to Katherine's home and in to her
bedroom. 
     Blip looked out the window. "Katherine, they tracked us! We gotta get
Jenna and Karr back to Albia. They're too easy to recognise." he spattered. 
     "Push mover" Katherine commanded, after turning on the HoloDeck and making
sure it was linked to Creatures. Jenna and Karr scurried onto the 'Deck,
sensing tension, and beamed themselves back home.
     "Katherine, I think they'll catch you! You don't have a choice!" Susan
responded, realising that her plan to get her friend back had failed.
     "Wait." Katherine slyly said. "What if I'm not in the country?"
     "Explain to me how you're gonna get Cuba tickets and blow this place in
thirty seconds." Susan argued.
     "I'm not. I think, if I'm not mistaken, we have a link to another country,
another world." Katherine reasoned. "I have no choice. To escape, I have to use
the HoloDeck. I have to beam myself- to Albia."
