The Cipher base was all cold steel and complex machinery--a stark contrast to the general indoor environments present throughout the Soja. Sterile, functional, artificial. A maze of rooms and hallways branched off from the main lobby; it seemed like most of the base was all on the same level. And yet, the group had known, from Seth's intel, that the base contained a second basement floor, accessible from the main elevator.
What would the Wayfarers find down there...?
It was almost nostalgic, in a bitter sort of way. Infiltrating a base, sneaking into a lab to steal organization secrets. It had been a while since Jade had done this, but the instincts were still there.
The elevator ride wasn't long, but the descent dragged on longer than it should have, knowing that a fight was already raging on the floor above. Their whole operation was on a timer. So long as that distraction held, they'd be free to investigate the lower floor. Probably. There were cameras everywhere, after all. No point in trashing them when that'd advertise their presence just as much.
It wasn't like they couldn't hold their own if there was a fight... Jade just really hoped that the majority of Cipher's forces would be busy.
The elevator door opened on yet another metallic corridor. A few doors branched off on either side, but their destination was at the far end. A heavy door with another key card reader.
Was it Jade's imagination, or was it darker down here?
“Everyone ready?” she asked, turning to the others.
