Val is hiking in the mountains when she spots a cave entrance. She traces the delta symbol at the mouth of the cave as she stands deciding if she feels like exploring the cave. "What the heck," she thinks and steps forward.

Val is thirsty but takes only small sips. She's finally accepted that she is lost in the maze of the tunnels. She's at a junction of four passages and she is sure she has been here before. "But there should only be three passages," she says exasperated.
"Help me," calls a small voice from the middle passage. The voice sounds far too much like her brother Franklin for Val's comfort and she doesn't hesitate. She activates her armor and runs into the passage.

Val takes a nibble of the single sandwich she brought for her afternoon hike. She laughs at the thought and says, "Yeah, just a short afternoon hike." She never found Franklin but he stopped calling about two hours ago.
The passages have been changing. When she entered this place, the walls were natural stone. Since then she has walked on roughly worked stone, brick, tile and cobblestone. She even thinks she may have seen concrete in one passage before being called away by Franklin's cries. The air has changed as well, from dry and hot to dusty and humid.
"This place is impossible!" she yells in frustration as she comes to yet another junction of passages that she is sure have too many openings. Convinced she is just going in circles she takes a different direction and hopes for the best.

Val is in darkness and is out of food and water. Her armor's water reclamation will keep her alive for at least another 36 hours but she is still feeling the beginning effects of dehydration. Her head aches and she feels intense vertigo any time she tries to use her powers.
She sits down to rest and doesn't even notice she is rocking herself.

Val stumbles through passages mumbling, "I am Valeria von Doom. My father is Victor von Doom and my mother is Susan von Doom, once Susan Richards. My father's mother is Cynthia von Doom and..."
She is repeating her heritage over and over as a litany to keep herself going and to keep the voices (her mother, her father, her brother, Coreen, Weyland, her kindergarten teacher) at bay. She doesn't realize she is tracing the delta symbol until she's done it for the tenth time. She shakes herself to better awareness and sees the modern looking doorway before her. She takes a deep breath, checks the power levels on her armor and steps through into darkness.
