Rina’s injuries don’t take it kindly and the guards seem indifferent to her pain. They find her boot knife and her pocket tools. They also take Rina’s and Arden’s winter jackets, uncuffing them and cuffing them again when they are done. Jackets dispensed, they are taken into the elevator and they go down. There are two sets of doors on this elevator, directly opposite each other, front and back. There are only four buttons on the controls: up, down, doors close, doors open. There is no indicator showing how many floors they go down on their trip and like elevator passengers everywhere, they all stand and stare at the doors they entered through. The ride is short, maybe one floor’s worth—assuming they are going at a normal speed—and the doors behind them open, necessitating some shuffling around before they step off into the corridor outside. <br><br> |
It’s a straight 20-foot run to another set of elevator doors, with a camera mounted above to record their approach. The guards nudge Rina and Arden to move forward. They do, walking for the doors opposite, and Arden notices that the guards tense up three feet into the corridor. He turns to look at them closely and the corridor is abruptly flooded with a blinding purplish-white light. Arden recognizes it as a decontamination protocol and waits the 15 seconds for the light to blink off. That explains the space separating the elevators, at least. Rina blinks spots from her vision and tries not to dwell on what might be waiting for them at the end of the journey. Putting all-comers through decon suggests either a clean room is coming up soon or … She tries not to dwell on the alternatives. <br><br> | It’s a straight 20-foot run to another set of elevator doors, with a camera mounted above to record their approach.
