Kitana,
Here's a summary of the previous descriptions of the rooms you'll be passing through. I posted them here to save some of the repetition in the IC thread.
Initial look into the small 10 x 10 grey brick building:
‘Montoya opened the door and encountered only the darkness of the building. The inside walls of the building were painted black – as were the stairs leading down into the darkness from the center of the small ten foot room. Heat . . . a great deal of warm stale air issued forth form the small room, most likely from down the blackened stairs. A red security light kicked on a couple of clicks after the initial review of the room - the additional light didn’t help the décor.’
First trip down the stairs:
‘Kicking in the flashlight on the P90 did help Montoya with the illumination of the area. The light was brighter than the low wattage red security light within the stone room. The blackened walls and stairs were flat in color and the light wasn’t reflected in them – only absorbed.
Descending the stairs, Montoya kept alert for any signs of trouble. The stairs continued down about forty feet and ended in a short ten foot hallway. The hallway ended in a heavy duty bulkhead – or at least it did at one time. The bulkhead was torn open from the hallway into the next room, possibly from some explosive force. Some debris littered the sides of the short hallway, and this debris was also black and almost unnoticed due to the similar coloring of the walls and floor. Any more details were lost at the distance Montoya was from the doors (on the stairs before the hallway).
The heat as Montoya and Durant descended the stairs continued to increase, almost as if the two were descending into a blast furnace or perhaps the depths of hell itself. Sweat formed almost instantly on the pair, as their bodies tried to compensate for the change.’
Inside of Security room (down the stairs, before the elevator shaft):
'The blackened hallway crunched somewhat under Montoya's boots as he moved through the hallway, as though a crust had been layered onto the floor and walls. Looking through the destroyed blast door, Montoya can determine that the blast most likely occurred from the hallway into the adjoining room, even though the debris scattered in the hallway would appear to indicate otherwise. Through the blast door was a thirty foot square room with the remains of a metal desk, the only item remaining somewhat intact in the room. The room was blackened like the hallway and a bulkhead door stood open on the opposite wall.
Durant followed closely on the heels of Montoya, boots likewise crunching on the floor. The debris to Durant seemed to contain a couple of bones amid the metal bits and other debris. The room was supposed to be a security room, when the warehouse had personnel stationed in it. The doorway on the opposite side led to an elevator going down - though the electronic codes for the door and elevator didn't appear necessary now that it was wide open . . . and there was no elevator car apparent though the light of Montoya's P90.’
Deeper look of Security room (down the stairs, before the elevator shaft):
‘To Ilianov, the blackened walls, floors and ceilings were definitely the results of some kind of explosion or flash fire* - though whatever it was carried a lot of residue with it to blacken everything as it did. The air, though quite hot to breath in, didn't seem to have any harsh smelled that accompanied the more dangerous of the gases. The smell of burning and carbon were unavoidable, though not overpowering, however. Lt. Reed looked surprisingly calm as she scanned the room looking for other doors or trouble.
Durant moved to the desk cautiously, eying the area on the way. Debris that could have been other furniture, lights, chairs etc. was broken into almost unidentifiable pieces and littered the floor and gathered in the corners of the room. The metal desk was crusted with the same blackened materials that everything else was, but seemed relatively intact. The crust would probably require a couple of hits to break away and allow access to the drawers.
Montoya moved to the elevator entrance, noticing that where usually there was a keypad for security for the elevator on the wall, there was just a hole. Looking into the elevator shaft, Montoya picked up a reddish glow fifty to sixty feet down the shaft through an opening opposite the entrance (though sixty feet down). The remnants of the elevator car could be seen in the reddish glow, the heat even more apparent at the elevator shaft.’
Hope that helps!
