Something tells me that would be too easy.
*Pulls out a thin, clear device that seems to be pretty much entirely just a screen*
…
Yeah, was too easy. Nothing’s getting out.

@Crew

*Taps against the cosmic wall*
I’ve never seen anything like this.

@Server

I’d be more concerned if you had.
*A humanoid wisp walks through you, as though leaving the building. They stop for a second when they do, turning their head to stare at you with tense body language for just a moment before shaking their head and disappearing into the void, the door closing behind them.*

...I'll go ahead and say it. It's like we're ghosts.

@Server

That’s exactly what it is. To people, anyway. To random objects, doesn’t seem that way.

@Crew

We could use that to write out a message to them... adding to the phantasmic feel.

@Server

Is that best, though? I really don’t want to be caught in here if it can be avoided. The heads of the Cerberus family can be a bit unforgiving.

@Crew

Again, just looking at ways out if we get stuck. To be fair, neither of us planned to be in this situation.

@Server

Part of why I was seeking a partner for this op was for backup in the event something unexpected happened. And while I was expecting that to mean something more adrenaline-pumping, I definitely don’t regret it. Sorry for dragging you into this, but I’m glad I’m not alone.

*Watches for the elevator*
At least this will make us harder to spot.

@Server

And a chance to scope out areas we wouldn’t have been able to get to before. Though I have to admit, I’m not sure if we should be trying to take advantage of the circumstance, or racing to find the cause.
*After a moment, the door slides open*

@Crew

I don’t know what the difference would look like right now.
*Steps inside*

@Server

Good point.
*Goes in as well, and looks at the keypad*
Up or down? I anticipated under normal circumstances only being able to go to higher floors. Lower floors were off limits.

@Crew

We should check the lower floors while we still have the chance.

I like the way you think.

@Crew

Do you have any idea what they keep down there?

@Server

You won’t find a soul who does unless they have employment history with them. Minimum.

@Crew

What are the odds that we’re tripping an alarm just by going down there?

@Server

I couldn’t tell you anything about anything right now. Even the rules once we got inside seem to have changed from when we were outside. The gate security weren’t ghastly figures.

@Crew

And the elevator is letting us go lower without checking for any form of ID.

@Server

And I agree. That’ll either point to alarms or a big scary door as soon as the elevator opens.
*The elevator stops, opens up, and reveals a small, empty metal room with a giant vault door*
