Forced to reveal his own secret mission at least partially, Professor HOX manages to allay some suspicions off himself whilst the security team continue to pursue mysterious leads in the Nanotechnology Branch. Can the team keep their wits together long enough in a web of intrigue to unravel the truth behind the Reichell Base, or will they get caught like flies in the spider's maw?

It was around this point I was having problems with the story, not knowing where exactly to end this chapter. Hopefully things all turn out good for the next one concerning its pacing but any feedback is greatly appreciated!
