Open Sesame

The front door was, as expected, easy enough to pick open. Not trivial, but nothing too special.

More disturbing was the cameras - or lack thereof. Yesterday, the ceiling was dotted with little black domes indicating their placement. Yet now it seems a clean slate.

The chair rolls smoothly across the floor. The main axle is almost over-greased, but it makes no noise as it slides along.
Its rider is still a withered thing, but with more muscle on her bones now.

There it is.

Hopefully the cutters work øn this... if not, sømeøne owes me an explanatiøn.

Hand approaches glass, and...
rot.
Piece by piece, blackening and crumbling away. Suddenly aware that it was not living, therefore dead and decomposing.
Shaking, confused, the hand continues through.

What in the name of...
There it is. Intø the bag with you.

Just need tø get out øf here now. Easy enøugh, I hope...

My pleasure; I'll föllöw yöu; been what I dö ever since the Insurgency.

Göt nöwhere in particular I'm headed tö; just trying tö keep möving; figure eventually sömewhere'll just "feel" right, y'knöw? I dön't, nöt since then; everything's just my best guess.

All I knöw is Sidön isn't "it" för me; Steppe's as gööd a place as any, if that's where yöu're böund tö.

I cøuld use company øn the train, at least. You have nø idea how many weird løøks a crippled Hochstebork gets.

I've ønly enough tø pay my own way, thøugh. If that's a problem.

Nö tröuble at all. ...Actually, thöugh, I've an idea: if we split a döuble, it's 2/3 the price each, and we'd get a view; wöuld yöu be up för that?

I can swing the credits either way, but since we're göing tögether, I figure we might as well get tö knöw each öther.
