You guess that its flawless design must be from some ancient culture, for you have never seen its likes before. In the very center is a massive oak gate, shut and bolted. To one side is a tiny, insignificant-looking booth several meters above the ground. In it sits a wizened old shape, scribbling something. Across from the booth you see a shimmering red gate in the wall. ~ what about an arrival message in the dest room? ~ 100139011 3 6 0 D0 gate~ gate~ 407 386 34003 10 10 5 D2 ~ ~ 0 -1 34001 10 10 5 E gate door~ The gate is made of firm oak and securely closed, by what means you cannot tell.
