Message: <blockquote data-quote="Keia" data-source="post: 1214650" data-attributes="member: 98">Inside Warehouse 37Las Vegas, Nevada0717 hours, June 3, 2003Richardo Montoya looped his rope through a support inside the elevator shaft and secured the lines.  As Lucas Fisher looked over the lines, he didn't not any problems with the knots or method - in fact, Montoya had done a good job.At the bottom of the stairs, Donovan and Lt. Stewart were covering the stairs going up with Rylee Fallon only a step more into the room that they were.  The door resounded with the impact of metal on metal - perhaps gunfire onto the door itself, or the metal covered roof of the warehouse above.Campbell's review of the desk revealed that there were several drawers, but they (and the entire desk) were covered with what seemed to be perhaps a half an inch of blackened, crusty material - perhaps one heck of a lot of charcoal residue, or charcoal mixed with something else . . . Lt. Chris Reed was at one of the side walls when she called out, "I think I've found a fire entinguisher box behind some of this crap, sir."  She hit the crust with the butt of her rifle several times - the last hit sounding metal on metal, and almost at the same time at the sounds above heard by those at the stairs.Lucas had secured himself as well and the two were ready to descend into the stairwell. . . .Montoya dropped down first, but only about ten feet before stopping himself, bracing, and leaping to the other side of the shaft.  A few tense moments passed as his right hand struggled to gain a purchase on the back wall of the shaft (moments that seemed much, much longer to Montoya), before finally grabbing hold.  Montoya didn't see anything out of place, but the access panel was covered with the same black crust as the rest of the room, shaft and stairs up . . . and it was hotter in the shaft than in the room above.  The metal was quite warm to the touch, though not scalding . . . not yet.OOC: all</blockquote>
