Emerald listened to the others, and essentially what they had said was that he had clearance to pull the switch. He was glad that he wasn't alone, in case of unlikely explosions. He reached out towards the switch, pulled it down, drew his hand back and covered his face and gem with his arms before something happened. He braced for impact of...nothing? A panel next to the switch was pulled back into the wall, revealing a set of stairs going up.

He tripped on said crack and flew flat on his face onto the ground of the second floor.
