Was only kidding. Wait... Do you actually ha-
*Shakes my head*
Nevermind.
*Puts my hands on my hips and the door opens, seemingly from a small collective of several people on the other side*

@Crew

There's our chance.
*Takes the opportunity to make my way toward the door, avoiding moving through anybody*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Server>

Eyup. DO you have a really big lockpick, by chance?

@Crew

That won't be detected? Afraid not.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by 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*

@Crew

Looks like it was the second option.

<Snipped quote by 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.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by 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?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Server>

I like the way you think.
*Keys in -1 into the keypad and the door closes*

@Crew

Do you have any idea what they keep down there?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by 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.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by 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*

<Snipped quote by 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.
*Presses a button to the elevator*

@Crew

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

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by 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.
