Slaye realizes upon opening the mini-bar that Alex had stopped in the room when they were checking in, waiting to be shown to his at the end of the hall. Thus, there is nothing but a bottle of 7-up in the fridge. Heading back to his own room across the hall,. he realizes that its too quiet for the time of morning at a Sheraton of this size. No maid carts lined up for the 5 AM opening routine, no bleary-eyed bellboys doing the room count, and oddest of all, no smells or noises of the complimentary continental breakfast being prepared.

Mitch tabs over to to check his email out of habit. In the hour or so he was ferreting out dirty little secrets, a good 60 spam must have piled up by now. Instead, the machine freezes for a moment, then pops up a no connection dialog. A tracert reveals the problem is local... And impossible. At the bottom of 30 or so failed hops timed out with asterisks, sits a local number where none should be: 192.168.0.666. A DOS window pops up as the machine shuts down, hard, with the drive coming to a unhealthily *clunk*! of a stop. (Roll a spot check)

Billy moseys up to the end of the hall, to the slightly larger couples suite the drama queen had to claim for his lonesome. Just cause he cut a record with Dan'l Boon and the Stardust Spiders forever ago, he thinks he owns the joint. The door stands slightly open. A knock swings it full open. (Roll a spot check).
