Ford tries to match his brother's smile, but his attempt falls short, and what he flashes instead is more of a grimace than a grin.
"Like I said, I've mad a lot of enemies, and even more mistakes."
If Stan wonders what he means by that, well, he can continue to wonder because Ford isn't going to elaborate. Instead, he steps down from the entry-tunnel and onto the floor of the security room, careful to avoid setting foot on the wrong rune. He turns back to Stan, holding up one hand to signal for him to wait.
"This'll only be a moment, hold on."
And then, with surprising speed and agility for a man who hasn't eaten in what's going on three days now, Ford races to the far corner of the room to press his hand against one of the many square tiles that line the walls, ceiling, and floor. It lights up under his touch - as does every other rune before the room begins to shift and close in on itself.
