The physician thinks for a moment.
"Alright," he says. "Welcome to the sickroom." Putting his bird mask back in place he passes through the inner door, gesturing for Manachan and Ignatius to follow. The Maiden, meanwhile, moves to the front door and bolts it.
Beyond the reception area the building opens out into a huge warehouse area full of beds, and each bed contains a person showing signs of Blood Veil. Dozens of them, possibly a hundred. Mostly asleep, peacefully or otherwise. There is a general stench of sickness and disinfectant and faint sounds of moaning. In the far right corner of the warehouse floor is an area given over as a kitchen. Three doors on the far side lead elsewhere.
There are four Queen's Physicians in the room, moving like crows in their bird masks between the rows of sick beds. The second Grey Maiden is on guard on the other side of the door, quickly joined by her sister from the waiting room. Overhead is a system of catwalks, and two other Grey Maidens patrol these.
The physician gestures to the sickbeds.
"See for yourself," he says.
Meanwhile:
Red twitches his whiskers and makes a strange chuckling sound.
"Best you don't knows," he says. Then points to the room below. Manachan and Ignatius have appeared in the warehouse. "Look, your friends are in."
