* @@ @@

Photograph of a notebook with handwritten notes. Some text is fairly neat and keeps to the lines on the page, some is written without care or regard for the lines. Ink marks are everywhere.

NOTES

Found a handwritten note that recommended writing everything down. Therefore:

* Transferred to Site-69 2024-08-01. Did not volunteer - instruction origin unclear. Assuming temp assignment for now. (a caption with an arrow, added later: don't remember this?)
* Previous: Site-44 - not going to write down role in case someone finds this

Drawing of a shape resembling an Australia/New Zealand plug socket and a question mark

Scrawled text, smudged: Why is everyone so OK with being here?

TODO

* Unchecked: What does Tyler do in the middle room?
* Checked: Vikram memory?
 * injury -> cybernetic enhancement
* Unchecked: Is Frankie OK
* Unchecked: Jess in office corridor?
* Partially checked: How to leave?
 * arranged a meeting with everyone

OTHERS

* Vikram Singh - early 30s - English. Field agent, Site-91. Claims to have perfect memory.
 * Scrawled: boyish/immature. complainer -> indulge in argument. let him tire himself out
* Tyler Anderson - 30ish - Australian. Evaded background questions.

++ Server Room
[[/div]]

What might once have functioned as the Site's data centre is now thoroughly defunct.

There are several rows of server racks, implying capacity for about a hundred servers, but all have been pushed to the back of the room. At least one has been partially disassembled, the servers that were once held by it stacked in a neat pile nearby. In one corner is a pile of cables, organised by type and spooled into wheels, bound with electrical tape. There is no possibility that even a single server is connected to anything.

The rest of the room is free, and this remaining space has been retrofitted as a makeshift gym. The components from the disassembled server rack have found new life as not particularly safe-looking gym equipment. Two of the supporting struts have each become a handles for a barbell, electrical tape wrapped thickly around where they would be held, and nebulous mechanical contraptions at either end provide the weight, presumably assembled from scrapped server units. The larger of the two barbells is resting on the floor near the western wall.



Vikram Singh is lying on some homemade equivalent of a lifting bench, face up, the smaller of the two aforementioned barbells in his grip. He's doing his best to lift the weight, and the struggle is apparent on his face.

Behind him is Lucy Williams, spotting, her hands hovering carefully below the shaking rack strut, ready to catch it.

[[/div]]

Yetunde Akinyemi and Jason Greaves are present. Yetunde is standing over one of the kitchen counter islands, and Jason is sitting at a seat pulled up to one of the small tables. Each nurses a mug, and the way they are holding them suggests that the contents are too hot to drink. The cloudy brown surface of Jason's drink is visible to the camera.



[[div_ class="dialogue"]]
[[span class="dialogue__speaker"]]Jason:[[/span]]
[[span class="dialogue__content"]]I can't help but feel like this is stupid. There's a little voice that keeps telling me it's a silly idea. They won't go for it. And it was silly to call it a meeting in the first place.[[/span]]

He holds eye contact with Yetunde for a moment, expecting a response, but breaks his gaze after a moment, lowering it into his mug.

Vikram carefully lowers the barbell onto the rack and sits up. He says something to Lucy, which prompts her to laugh and clap him on the back. She easily removes the barbell from its rack and places it on the floor near the larger one. Vikram watches at first but quickly turns away.

Tyler Anderson is in the east ring corridor. He walks slowly northwards, tracing his left hand along the wall, gazing distantly at or through it, looking intently at nothing in particular. When he reaches the northernmost corner he stops and stares in the direction of the main containment cell, hands to his face, deep in thought.

Lucy speaks. It takes Vikram a moment to respond -- enough time for a deep sigh -- but he nods resolutely and accepts her hand for a boost as he gets up. He's a little shaky on his feet, but he's more than stable enough to walk. The two of them head out into the [#u-server-room-corridor corridor].

Jess Brommer is in the offices corridor, standing about halfway between the doorways to the office and the break room, facing north. Her left hand is pressed against the outer wall of the caféteria for balance. Her face isn't visible to the camera from this angle, but she is breathing deeply and rapidly.

Tyler spares a hand to signal a hello down the corridor, and then catches a glimpse of something in the corridor to the north. He doesn't acknowledge it, but he stares in that direction for a second -- before jolting into motion, as if having remembered something important. He heads straight into the [#u-north-ring-corridor north ring corridor].

++ Armoury
[[/div]]

The armoury consists of storage for collection of protective equipment, with areas of the room designated for environmental and combat provisions.

Most supplies are either mounted against the walls or stashed in lockers. Lockers have had their doors removed and all are positioned such that the camera can see their contents.

Mounted on the north wall are 6 standard environmental protection suits in two sizes, flattened, with their glassy black helms attached to their chests. There are 29 sets of combat protective armour, each folded neatly into a locker, which bear a similar design to those that were used in mobile task forces, though they are outdated by around 20 years. There are plenty of weapons: a set of 16 titanium spears, and standard issue firearms mounted in racks around the room. There are ten ammunition lockers, all empty.



Frankie Welsh comes into view from the southeastern corner of the room, where they had been out of view directly beneath the camera. They walk quickly and head out into the [#u-armoury-corridor corridor].

Jason, sitting with his back to the door, turns and peers backwards over his shoulder, raising his hand in greeting, despite clearly having not turned around enough to actually be able to see anyone who'd just come in. 



Vikram, Lucy and Tyler wordlessly take seats around the room -- Vikram and Lucy each have a table to themselves, and Tyler sits with Jason. The room's attention is focused on Yetunde, who takes a sip from her mug before speaking.



[[div_ class="dialogue"]]

Frankie Welsh enters, hovering by the open door for a moment, as if surprised to see the room full of people.



[[div_ class="dialogue"]]
[[span class="dialogue__speaker"]]Yetunde:[[/span]]
[[span class="dialogue__content"]]There we go. That's everyone. Sit down, please.[[/span]]
[[/div]]


Frankie does so without quarrel. Jason's gaze follows them as they sit down, frowning slightly, as if deep in analytical thought.



Yetunde claps her hands together and takes a short, sharp breath before speaking, drawing the room's attention to her. Jason keeps looking at Frankie for a few more seconds before joining everyone else.

[[div_ class="dialogue"]]
[[span class="dialogue__speaker"]]Yetunde:[[/span]]
[[span class="dialogue__content"]]I appreciate you all being here. It's very rare that we're all in the same room, let alone all talking to each other at the same time. But we all share a problem, and I believe it's in our mutual interest to solve it.[[/span]]
[[/div]]


She pans her gaze across the room.

[[div_ class="dialogue"]]
[[span class="dialogue__speaker"]]Yetunde:[[/span]]
[[span class="dialogue__content"]]I trust that you all know what it is.[[/span]]
[[/div]]


Her comment is met with silence and sullen nods from most of those present. Only Frankie seems genuinely confused -- they look at those nearest to them, Vikram and Lucy, for validation, but find no foothold: they are comparatively nonplussed. Tyler keeps his attention fixed solely on Yetunde.

[[div_ class="dialogue"]]
[[span class="dialogue__speaker"]]Yetunde:[[/span]]
[[span class="dialogue__content"]]What is that problem?[[/span]]
[[/div]]


Her voice is quiet and affirmative. She seems completely confident that someone will answer, but no one does.

[[div_ class="dialogue"]]
[[span class="dialogue__speaker"]]Yetunde:[[/span]]
[[span class="dialogue__content"]]What's our biggest problem? Vikram?[[/span]]
[[/div]]


Vikram stammers, clearly not expecting that he'd be asked to speak.

[[div_ class="dialogue"]]

[[div_ class="dialogue"]]
[[span class="dialogue__speaker"]]Tyler:[[/span]]

Yetunde smiles at him before turning her attention to her next target.

[[div_ class="dialogue"]]
[[span class="dialogue__speaker"]]Yetunde:[[/span]]
[[span class="dialogue__content"]]Jess?[[/span]]
[[/div]]


Jess is silent for a long moment before she answers, her head turned towards Yetunde, who returns her eye contact for the entire time. She finally answers, whispering.

[[div_ class="dialogue"]]
[[span class="dialogue__speaker"]]Jess:[[/span]]
[[span class="dialogue__content"]]We don't know how to leave.[[/span]]
[[/div]]


Yetunde changes posture, slipping into a more relaxed position, disengaging from the hawk-like stance she'd slowly adopted over the past few seconds.

[[div_ class="dialogue"]]
[[span class="dialogue__speaker"]]Yetunde:[[/span]]
[[span class="dialogue__content"]]It seems, perhaps, that my trust is misplaced. We're not on the same page about our mutual problem at all -- distracted by facets of it, not seeing the larger picture. All of you are correct, to some degree.[[/span]]
[[/div]]


She steps out from behind the kitchen counter and starts slowly walking around the dining area of the cafeteria, wandering between the tables. She stops behind Vikram and places a hand on his shoulder.



[[div_ class="dialogue"]]
[[span class="dialogue__speaker"]]Yetunde:[[/span]]
[[span class="dialogue__content"]]Vikram: you have touched on perhaps our most immediate problem. We have no means of communication with the Foundation. That means we cannot receive instruction, yes; but also it means that we cannot ask for help. We are isolated. We are alone. That too means that we cannot simply ask why we are here -- or how we can leave.[[/span]]
[[/div]]


Yetunde moves away from Vikram -- who breathes a nearly-imperceptible sigh of relief -- and back towards the kitchen area, where she resumes her position behind the counter, using it as a podium.

[[div_ class="dialogue"]]
[[span class="dialogue__speaker"]]Yetunde:[[/span]]
[[span class="dialogue__content"]]I think those assertions are known to all of us. But there is a much greater problem that threatens us.[[/span]]
[[/div]]


She slams her hands on the counter, startling Tyler and Frankie in particular, and a note of anger rises into her voice.

[[div_ class="dialogue"]]
[[span class="dialogue__speaker"]]Yetunde:[[/span]]
[[span class="dialogue__content"]]We have been here for nearly //three months//. We have had three months to become intimately acquainted with our situation. And in that time, what steps have we taken to meaningfully remedy it? Hm?[[/span]]
[[/div]]


She points at Jason.

[[div_ class="dialogue"]]
[[span class="dialogue__speaker"]]Yetunde:[[/span]]
[[span class="dialogue__content"]]What have //you// done?[[/span]]
[[/div]]


Jason's expression is one of betrayal, but Yetunde's finger has moved on, and he quickly calms as she repeats her question towards Lucy to hammer in her point.

[[div_ class="dialogue"]]
[[span class="dialogue__speaker"]]Yetunde:[[/span]]
[[span class="dialogue__content"]]What about //you//?[[/span]]
[[/div]]


[[div_ class="dialogue"]]
[[span class="dialogue__speaker"]]Yetunde:[[/span]]
[[span class="dialogue__content"]]Nothing! Nothing at all. None of us have done anything. And why not?[[/span]]
[[/div]]


She glances around the room, this time seemingly hoping for an answer, not demanding it.

[[div_ class="dialogue"]]
[[span class="dialogue__speaker"]]Lucy:[[/span]]
[[span class="dialogue__content"]]We just haven't. I don't know why. We just haven't.[[/span]]
[[/div]]


[[div_ class="dialogue"]]
[[span class="dialogue__speaker"]]Jess:[[/span]]
[[span class="dialogue__content"]]It's not like we've spoken about this before now.[[/span]]
[[/div]]


Yetunde grins and nods.

[[div_ class="dialogue"]]
[[span class="dialogue__speaker"]]Yetunde:[[/span]]
[[span class="dialogue__content"]]Yes. Exactly. Why not?[[/span]]
[[/div]]


Jess shrugs, looking around the room for support, but she doesn't find anything. Everyone is looking at her.

[[div_ class="dialogue"]]
[[span class="dialogue__speaker"]]Jess:[[/span]]
[[span class="dialogue__content"]]I guess we just, like, accepted it. Not like there's much we can do about it.[[/span]]
[[/div]]


[[div_ class="dialogue"]]
[[span class="dialogue__speaker"]]Yetunde:[[/span]]
[[span class="dialogue__content"]]Yes, Jess. Exactly. We just accepted it. Without argument, without complaint. I can't speak for everyone here -- but that's not me. Hah! No. I know I wouldn't accept this. And yet, clearly, I //have//. And that //bothers// me. I really, really hope it bothers you too.[[/span]]
[[/div]]




She lets the silence linger for a long moment, her hands placed on the countertop in a commanding position. The room murmurs in vague agreement. Frankie shrinks down into their seat, tugging on their shirt collar. Jason takes a sip of his drink, then goes to put the mug back down, but changes his mind and takes several full gulps.

[[div_ class="dialogue"]]
[[span class="dialogue__speaker"]]Jess:[[/span]]
[[span class="dialogue__content"]]So, Yetty, what //are// we going to do about it?[[/span]]
[[/div]]


Yetunde takes a breath before replying -- a dramatic pause, expertly executed.

[[div_ class="dialogue"]]
[[span class="dialogue__speaker"]]Yetunde:[[/span]]
[[span class="dialogue__content"]]I must be clear. I don't have a plan. I want everyone to be on the same page and in agreement -- that's why I gathered everyone together. I want to figure out, all of us, what we should do.[[/span]]
[[/div]]


She turns to address the room.

[[div_ class="dialogue"]]
[[span class="dialogue__speaker"]]Yetunde:[[/span]]
[[span class="dialogue__content"]]So -- any ideas?[[/span]]
[[/div]]




The room is quiet. Tyler looks from face to face, and, on seeing that no one is about to speak, takes the initiative.

[[div_ class="dialogue"]]
[[span class="dialogue__speaker"]]Tyler:[[/span]]
[[span class="dialogue__content"]]There's an obvious starting point, right? Is there anyone here who hasn't been into the central room?[[/span]]
[[/div]]


Frankie raises their hand, and after a moment, Yetunde does too.

[[div_ class="dialogue"]]
[[span class="dialogue__speaker"]]Tyler:[[/span]]
[[span class="dialogue__content"]]For the benefit of you two, then: the corridors in this Site trace out a large empty square.

The feeling of being near it -- it's indescribable. You feel clear-headed, you feel confident, you feel afraid, and then you leave and it's gone. That machine is right in the middle of the Site.

[[span class="dialogue__content"]]Well, hang on. I've seen this so-called 'machine'. It didn't look like anything mechanical to me. Even if it was, who's to say it's not a generator or something?[[/span]]
[[/div]]


[[div_ class="dialogue"]]
[[span class="dialogue__speaker"]]Jess:[[/span]]
[[span class="dialogue__content"]]It's no simple little generator room. That little sliding door is hard to find on the best of days. You gotta actually be looking for it to find it. I'm not surprised that Yetty and Frankie both didn't notice it. They wouldn't hide just a generator behind that kind of door... I don't think.[[/span]]
[[/div]]


[[div_ class="dialogue"]]
[[span class="dialogue__speaker"]]Vikram:[[/span]]
[[span class="dialogue__content"]]They might. They probably don't want us messing with it, especially if it's a generator. It's //very// cold outside; if one of you were to accidentally break it, you'd all be screwed.[[/span]]
[[/div]]


[[div_ class="dialogue"]]
[[span class="dialogue__speaker"]]Jess:[[/span]]
[[span class="dialogue__content"]]Yeah! Brilliant point. It's //really// cold outside. None of us have actually been out there, right? If you were building this place and you wanted to hide something, wouldn't you put it out there? No chance in hell they expect any of us to go outside. We should start there.[[/span]]
[[/div]]


[[div_ class="dialogue"]]
[[span class="dialogue__speaker"]]Yetunde:[[/span]]
[[span class="dialogue__content"]]That's too risky.[[/span]]
[[/div]]


Lucy turns around in her seat so that she's facing everyone in the room at the same time.

[[div_ class="dialogue"]]
[[span class="dialogue__speaker"]]Lucy:[[/span]]
[[span class="dialogue__content"]]We have environmental suits, right? In the armoury. You spend a lot of time there, right, Frankie?[[/span]]
[[/div]]


[[div_ class="dialogue"]]
[[span class="dialogue__speaker"]]Frankie:[[/span]]
[[span class="dialogue__content"]]Yeah. Yes, we do.[[/span]]
[[/div]]


[[div_ class="dialogue"]]
[[span class="dialogue__speaker"]]Lucy:[[/span]]
[[span class="dialogue__content"]]So it should be fine.[[/span]]
[[/div]]


She turns to Yetunde and then Jess for approval. Jess nods and shrugs, and the two move to leave.

[[div_ class="dialogue"]]
[[span class="dialogue__speaker"]]Yetunde:[[/span]]
[[span class="dialogue__content"]]Well, hang on.[[/span]]
[[/div]]


She raises a hand in a 'hold' gesture, prompting Jess and Lucy to sit back down.

[[div_ class="dialogue"]]
[[span class="dialogue__speaker"]]Yetunde:[[/span]]
[[span class="dialogue__content"]]There might be better ideas. Let's all agree on an approach before we do anything. Does anyone have any less dangerous ideas?[[/span]]
[[/div]]




Lucy sits down right away. Jess takes a moment longer, but acquiesces, taking a seat next to her. Yetunde nods her approval.

[[div_ class="dialogue"]]
[[span class="dialogue__speaker"]]Jason:[[/span]]
[[span class="dialogue__content"]]How about we have a look in the security room?[[/span]]
[[/div]]


[[div_ class="dialogue"]]
[[span class="dialogue__speaker"]]Jess:[[/span]]
[[span class="dialogue__content"]]Nah. It's locked. It's always been locked.[[/span]]
[[/div]]


[[div_ class="dialogue"]]
[[span class="dialogue__speaker"]]Jason:[[/span]]
[[span class="dialogue__content"]]Alright, in that case, how about... how about the documents room? There are files in there that go back years. I know I've not read any of them in any detail -- have any of you? There could be gold in there, if we can find the right files.[[/span]]
[[/div]]


His suggestion is met with no enthusiasm, save for Yetunde's obligatory nod.

[[div_ class="dialogue"]]
[[span class="dialogue__speaker"]]Yetunde:[[/span]]
[[span class="dialogue__content"]]A fine idea. What else?[[/span]]
[[/div]]


The room sits in silence for a moment.

[[div_ class="dialogue"]]
[[span class="dialogue__speaker"]]Yetunde:[[/span]]
[[span class="dialogue__content"]]Just the records store and Tyler's machine, then?[[/span]]
[[/div]]


[[div_ class="dialogue"]]
[[span class="dialogue__speaker"]]Frankie:[[/span]]
[[span class="dialogue__content"]]What about the note?[[/span]]
[[/div]]


[[div_ class="dialogue"]]
[[span class="dialogue__speaker"]]Yetunde:[[/span]]
[[span class="dialogue__content"]]What note?[[/span]]
[[/div]]


[[div_ class="dialogue"]]
[[span class="dialogue__speaker"]]Frankie:[[/span]]
[[span class="dialogue__content"]]The one that was on the fridge when we arrived. The one that isn't there anymore. You all... we all read it... right?[[/span]]
[[/div]]


They shrink backwards, eyes scanning the room. Jason and Yetunde frown. Lucy looks first at Jess, then Vikram.

[[div_ class="dialogue"]]
[[span class="dialogue__speaker"]]Tyler:[[/span]]
[[span class="dialogue__content"]]Yeah... there was a note. I guess I must have forgotten. Where is it?[[/span]]
[[/div]]


[[div_ class="dialogue"]]
[[span class="dialogue__speaker"]]Vikram:[[/span]]
[[span class="dialogue__content"]]Frankie's right. It was on the fridge.[[/span]]
[[/div]]


Vikram gets up and heads into the kitchen area, approaching the refrigerator, and points at a specific area on its upper door, pressing his finger against it.

[[div_ class="dialogue"]]
[[span class="dialogue__speaker"]]Vikram:[[/span]]
[[span class="dialogue__content"]]Right here. One sheet of A4, handwritten. I can remember exactly what it said, obviously -- 'Site-69 is a fucking joke' -- but if Frankie didn't mention it, I don't think I ever actually would have.[[/span]]
[[/div]]


Lucy turns to Jess and and, very quietly, asks a question quietly enough that the microphone doesn't pick it up. Her face is fully visible to the camera.

[[div_ class="dialogue"]]
[[span class="dialogue__speaker"]]Lucy:[[/span]]
[[span class="dialogue__context"]]Lip-reading[[/span]]
[[span class="dialogue__content"]]What's A4?[[/span]]
[[/div]]


[[div_ class="dialogue"]]
[[span class="dialogue__speaker"]]Jason:[[/span]]
[[span class="dialogue__content"]]I remember it too. I don't remember it word-for-word, of course, but there's little bits that stuck out to me, even as overwhelmed as I was when I read it for the first time... [[/span]]
[[/div]]


He frowns and casts his glance to the side.

[[div_ class="dialogue"]]
[[span class="dialogue__speaker"]]Jason:[[/span]]
[[span class="dialogue__content"]]...but I'm not sure when exactly that was.[[/span]]
[[/div]]


Vikram pulls away from the fridge, his motion dislodging the sheet of paper that was wedged below his finger, sending it fluttering to the floor, and stands next to Yetunde behind the countertop.

[[div_ class="dialogue"]]
[[span class="dialogue__speaker"]]Vikram:[[/span]]
[[span class="dialogue__content"]]Ringing any bells, Yetty?[[/span]]
[[/div]]




[[div_ class="dialogue"]]
[[span class="dialogue__speaker"]]Yetunde:[[/span]]
[[span class="dialogue__content"]]No.[[/span]]
[[/div]]


[[div_ class="dialogue"]]
[[span class="dialogue__speaker"]]Vikram:[[/span]]
[[span class="dialogue__content"]]Maybe you just didn't have a chance to read it before it disappeared. I can recite it for you, if you like.[[/span]]
[[/div]]


[[div_ class="dialogue"]]
[[span class="dialogue__speaker"]]Yetunde:[[/span]]
[[span class="dialogue__content"]]No need for that. Frankie -- we were talking about things we could try to fix our situation; that situation being, of course, that we are stuck in Site-69 with seemingly no recourse. How does an alleged //note// help us?[[/span]]
[[/div]]


[[div_ class="dialogue"]]
[[span class="dialogue__speaker"]]Jason:[[/span]]
[[span class="dialogue__content"]]Yetty, that's not fair-- [[/span]]
[[/div]]


Yetunde raises a hand to silence him, her gaze fixated on Frankie.

[[div_ class="dialogue"]]
[[span class="dialogue__speaker"]]Frankie:[[/span]]
[[span class="dialogue__content"]]It's the only link we have to what might have happened here. It was written //by// someone who lived here, //for// people who lived here. I don't think it said anything about getting out, but it might help us understand what this place is.[[/span]]
[[/div]]


[[div_ class="dialogue"]]
[[span class="dialogue__speaker"]]Yetunde:[[/span]]
[[span class="dialogue__content"]]Very well. Then, we can look for the note, as another option.[[/span]]
[[/div]]


[[div_ class="dialogue"]]
[[span class="dialogue__speaker"]]Vikram:[[/span]]
[[span class="dialogue__content"]]We don't need to actually find it. I can tell you what it said, to the letter.[[/span]]
[[/div]]


[[div_ class="dialogue"]]
[[span class="dialogue__speaker"]]Yetunde:[[/span]]
[[span class="dialogue__content"]]Do you remember where the note is, Vikram?[[/span]]
[[/div]]


[[div_ class="dialogue"]]
[[span class="dialogue__speaker"]]Vikram:[[/span]]
[[span class="dialogue__content"]]It //was// right there on the fridge. I don't know where it is //now.//[[/span]]
[[/div]]


[[div_ class="dialogue"]]
[[span class="dialogue__speaker"]]Yetunde:[[/span]]
[[span class="dialogue__content"]]Then your memory is not as perfect as you claim. We will find it -- [[/span]]
[[/div]]


[[div_ class="dialogue"]]
[[span class="dialogue__speaker"]]Vikram:[[/span]]
[[span class="dialogue__content"]]That's such a non-sequitur.[[/span]]
[[/div]]


[[div_ class="dialogue"]]
[[span class="dialogue__speaker"]]Yetunde:[[/span]]
[[span class="dialogue__content"]] -- and we may very well discover that you know it perfectly. We will know for sure.[[/span]]
[[/div]]


[[div_ class="dialogue"]]
[[span class="dialogue__speaker"]]Vikram:[[/span]]
[[span class="dialogue__content"]]That's stupid and you know //that// perfectly well. You know what? I'm going to go to the documents room, which is where we keep everything that was written by previous Site-69 inhabitants, and I'm going to read stuff from there to see if it 'might help us understand what this place is', because we decided that doing that was a //'perfectly'// valid angle of attack, right? Unlike certain other suggestions.[[/span]]
[[/div]]


Vikram is standing, incensed -- it's plainly obvious, even to the camera. Yetunde is nonplussed, expressionless.

[[div_ class="dialogue"]]
[[span class="dialogue__speaker"]]Yetunde:[[/span]]
[[span class="dialogue__content"]]I would go to greater lengths to keep a polite face.[[/span]]

Jason gets up, his chair scraping across the floor as he pushes it backwards.

[[div_ class="dialogue"]]
[[span class="dialogue__speaker"]]Jason:[[/span]]
[[span class="dialogue__content"]]Sorry, Yetty. This one was my idea, I have to see it through. If you'll let me join you, Vikram.[[/span]]

Vikram nods, and the three of them make their way to the door, leaving via the [#u-north-ring-corridor corridor].

Vikram gives Frankie a quick hug, which they immediately try to worm their way out of, so he quickly relents.

They say something to him. He says something to them. Jason says something out loud, making an inscrutable hand gesture towards the east end of the corridor, prompting them to continue moving.

Secondary containment cell 3 has been retrofitted as living quarters for one person.

The rear of the room is taken up by a makeshift mattress: the hammock fabric has been laid flat, supported underneath by  a thick layer of padding comprised of clothing and other fabrics, which is raised away from the ground by six luggage cases that have been pushed against the back wall.

The room is otherwise in fair condition.

Secondary containment cell 4 has been retrofitted as living quarters for one or possibly two people.

A hammock is strung up against the east wall, and another is strung up against the west, but only partially -- one end is disconnected and is slumped against the floor.

Two luggage cases are in the middle of the room, upright, about a metre apart.

Otherwise, it doesn't look like anyone spends much time here.

[[/div]]

Secondary containment cell 5 has been retrofitted as living quarters for one person, with a hammock strung up diagonally across the room.

The room is a mess with various personal effects scattered over the floor.

All walls that are visible to the camera are covered with artwork hand drawn on copier paper, in both monochrome and multicoloured media. Most of the drawings are of people and faces, but there are also some more diagrammatic pieces along with scenery and images that are either abstract or unrecognisable.

Secondary containment cell 6 has been retrofitted as living quarters for two people.

Two hammocks are strung up, one against the left wall, one against the right. Below one of the hammocks is what looks like one of the servers from the data centre, but almost fully disassembled. Electrical components, bits of metal, and sheets of paper are scattered across the floor nearby.

The area around the other hammock is very tidy in comparison, with the exception of a laptop and a nonstandard USB cable on top of the pillow.

++ Storage
[[/div]]

The storage room is dominated by luggage cases scattered around the entire room, uncountably many -- a hundred for sure, possibly two, probably not much more than that.

Four huge shelving racks are also present, one against the west wall, one against the east (blocking the southern exit on the east wall), and the other two parallel near the middle of the room, but pushed up against the north wall. Below those two shelves a circle  two metres wide has been carved out of the luggage pile, with suitcases stacked neatly around its perimeter.

There has been some effort to clean up the northwest corner of the room, with most of the suitcases here moved to nearby shelving or stacked neatly, revealing a large area of usable floorspace near the door. A small pile of fabric -- the same material as those used for the hammocks in the living quarters -- is bundled nearby.
