[QUOTE="Agamon, post: 1065656, member: 184"] The group made its way down two hallways before Jaya turned at motioned for the rest to stop. “There’s a security camera around the corner,” she cautioned. “These hallways lead to the laboratories where the tests are taken. A lot of information is stored there. The labs themselves have human guards as well, but we’re not going anywhere near them. “The camera pans sixty degrees of the hallway. You need to approach it while it’s looking the other way, and stick as close to the wall as you can. The intersection it’s panning leads to the labs. We’re not going that way; just continue along the same hallway as the camera pans back this way and get around the corner quick. Go one at a time. Miguel and I will go first, as we don’t need to worry about the camera. Wait for my signal before you proceed. Alright?” The others all nodded in understanding. Jaya looked to Miguel and motioned for them to leave. “Don’t look at the camera,” she whispered. They turned the corner and proceeded down the hallway. “Say something to me,” Jaya said to Miguel as they began to walk. “Say something? Like what?” Miguel answered back, as they approached the camera. Jaya rolled her eyes. “I don’t know, just talk about something. We need to converse, it looks more natural.” “We need to converse? Well, we just did, right?” he said grinning as they rounded the corner, once more out of the eye of the camera. “Hey, who’s there?” a voice said from down the hall. A young man in a guard’s uniform walked out from the shadows. “Oh, hi, doctors. A little late, isn’t it?” Jaya was shocked, but was ready to speak. She didn’t speak quickly enough. “Late?” Miguel spat in a deep, Scottish-accented voice, sounding nothing like his own. “I’ll damn well say it’s late! Dr. Kalam and I were discussing what we should put into our report to our superiors tomorrow, but I’m sure that whatever drivel is about to come out of your mouth is much more important!” “Um, uh, sorry, sir, uh, doctor,” the guard sputtered. “I was just, uh, I’ll just…” He quickly turned around and headed back the way he came. “Hey, not bad,” Jaya said with a smile. She looked around the corner and quickly waved at Tyrone, who was watching for her. “Except, Alan sounds nothing like that. He’s from Michigan.” “Yeah, well, he sure didn’t seem to have a clue,” Miguel replied with a grin. The others carefully made their way past the camera before they all continued skulk down the hallways. They made their way past two more cameras without incident before coming to an elevator. “Yo, that was too easy,” Tyrone said as Jaya swiped a card through a slot beside the elevator doors. “And you got us all worried about gettin’ caught.” “We’re not done yet,” Jaya replied as the doors opened. They all moved into the elevator, which quickly became somewhat cramped. “This level doesn’t have much security. No one’s supposed to be able to get down here…” [/QUOTE]
