"What the frag?" Enzo yelps. Lights are flashing as well. Additional noise comes from the other side of the door behind them—not from Milliways, but the other side of the normal door, which leads to the cafeteria. Most of the other cadets are still at dinner, and they are understandably surprised.
A few cadets already out in the hall stare at Enzo and Mark. Defensive stances are adopted, even before a voice on the loudspeakers starts bellowing. Between klaxon blares, phrases like "...in the building..." and "...NOT a drill..." and "...somebody want to explain just how the /dev/null it got..." can be heard (though that last probably wasn't supposed to be audible).
More cadets, upperclasssprites, start emerging from the cafeteria. Some of them have weapons.
"Dude," Enzo screams over the noise, "I promise, this is not normal!"
