Cables resembling giant metal noodles snaked across the floor and ran up the walls. “How does that thing even work?” Percy asked. “No idea,” Annabeth said. “And I’m the only one besides Leo who can operate it.”“That’s reassuring.”“It should be fine.

"The driver got out smiling. He looked about seventeen or eighteen, and for a second, I had the uneasy feeling it was Luke, my old enemy. This guy had the same sandy hair and outdoorsy good looks.

"Doubtful, but it did work..."Annabeth" Percy said again. "You're planning something. You've got that I'm-planning-something look."I don't have an I'm-planning-something look."Yeah, you totally do.
