Oh, I’ll gag him, all right.  No need to worry on that score.

In reply to Kick Woods (msg # 400):

Of course, being a lizard, we could just kill him...or do you have any of those drugs left?

Probably not.  I wouldn’t take the risk of carrying them unless I knew I was going to use them for something.

In reply to Kick Woods (msg # 402):

Ok, so we have dealt with him, now to find out what is going on in this place...

Indeed.  Where to first?

In reply to Kick Woods (msg # 404):

What are the options?

The layout was incredibly confusing when the guard brought you to your current point.  Finding your way back exactly would be a feat to say the least.  The door you entered the room through is connected to an outside catwalk.  It runs to both the right and left of the door, turning sharply both right and left at the end of each run with an additional turn immediately to the right of the door.  (Yeah, I know, confusing, so here's a bad map to make it worse; X is the room you are currently at/in).  There also may be another door in the very back of the room or possibly in the sound booth but you can't be certain from where you are.

I will check out the back of the room and the sound booth...

If we run into anybody, let’s pretend you’re a tech person and I’m escorting you.  I’m wearing the visitor’s uniform now, right?

You did indeed swap clothing, though the size is a touch small for you.

The back of the room leads to a small walkway/hall that leads to two doors.  One appears to enter directly beneath the sound booth while the other lies opposite leading either further into the building or back outside.

In reply to That Which Knows All (msg # 409):

Check the sound booth out...something there may be useful...

Opening the door, you find a small, metal stairway leading upward to another room with a metal hatch door.  While not locked, the hatch door itself is rather heavy and it takes you several moments to move it open.  Climbing into the small room, you see what appears to be a hastily fashioned sound board.  The wiring is laid in haphazardly with no sense of rhyme or reason to its layout.  The room itself, however, was definitely not meant for this purpose.  Heavy steel boxes encase multiple readouts with heavy switches layered throughout.

In reply to That Which Knows All (msg # 411):

Natasha will require the soundboard to give a mains shock to whoever tried to use it after the power is turned on...then look forward other exits.

Returning to the ground floor, the only other exit (other than how you entered) is a door opposite where you are standing.

Kick struts proudly into the sound room, overly confident that he looks great in tight pants.  “Too bad we didn’t bring a bomb.”

In reply to Kick Woods (msg # 414):

"Not the time or place. Good evidence might be much more effective."

She heads to the door.

Opening the windowless, metal door it swings inward easily revealing a single hallway running both left and right.  Perhaps 10 or 15 yards down each section they turn corners, leading in what appears to be the same direction just parallel.

In reply to That Which Knows All (msg # 416):

Have we seen any computer terminals or cctv cameras yet?

No, you passed a few cameras on your way to the building, but you have not seen any since entering nor any facing the entrance.

In reply to That Which Knows All (msg # 418):

Good. Will keep an eye out for them...

“This way, prisoner,” he says curtly, pretending to lead her through the doorway and down the passage.

In reply to Kick Woods (msg # 420):

Natasha follows with a glare befitting any prisoner.

"You might want to come up with a background story in case someone asks..."

“That’s enough talk outta you.  You may be the Leader’s concubine, but for now you’re in my custody.”

When they reach the first branch from the corridor, he takes a quick look while trying not to be seen.

Checking either side corridor reveals the same image of yet another hallway run that yields into a sharp right or left respectively.  Neither hallways possesses a door or window.  Nor have you spied any cameras targeting either hall.

In reply to That Which Knows All (msg # 423):

Natasha heads off to the right...
