[ Instead of going to the elevators, Mosley veers right and heads to a door that leads to... the stairs? The stairs are equally white and pristine as the building but Mosley does not head up, he heads down. ]
Actually... I was thinking of doing something a bit different with this tour. I thought to myself "why bring you to things you've already seen, why not show you part of the mystery of this place?" We at CERES are quite known for our mystery! So, today we are heading to one of our containment facilities. Contain what, you may ask? Well, you will see. This facility in particular is quite old, so please watch your step.
[ As the group travels lower and lower into the building, the walls become less white and pristine and start to rust over and flake. It's a gradual shift but their walk is long and Mosley ignores any attempts to be engaged in conversation. Finally, he will stop at what seems like the very end, if the pitch blackness of the staircase in front of them is any indication. The walls are red and flaking and the building creaks with disuse.
Once in a while, there's a splash of water. If anyone of the group looks at the walls closely, they will be able to make out B89. It seems this building goes quite deep! ]
Oh, the light is out. When did that happen? I suppose I will have to go fetch a lightbulb, otherwise how could we see? How... unfortunate. Please wait here, as this will just take a second.
[ Mosley directs a smile at the group before heading back up the staircases they just came down. Two steps at a time, at that! He seems quite in a hurry to get that lightbulb. Of course, a few moments later, there's an ominous little click, and then all of a sudden, the stairs underneath their feet turn into what seems to be a slide, sending them hurtling down into the basement.
When they finally come to a (possibly painful) stop, they're in the darkness, the ground beneath them rough and dirty. The only light is a soft glow a few feet away, as if from under a door. ]
