Things I've never seen before, behind bolted doors

[k39zzz]

The disconnection of the Warehouse zipline had more consequences than anyone realizes, yet. When it fell, it knocked several Artifacts off of the shelves. Some are relatively benign; others, not so much.

One of them would be benign, if it hadn't fallen through an air vent and broken open on some delicate machinery.

Deep in the bowels of the Warehouse, gears jam, groan, and grind to a halt. The energies the machine was meant to keep in check begin to build up, slowly at first, but with increasing speed and intensity. If they reach critical mass, the consequences will be... less than pleasant.

Meanwhile, on the main Warehouse floor, a wooden door propped up against a column in Toronto sector--a door labeled "Fixture #768898D, 'MILLIWAYS' DOOR"--has been jostled open.

"I believe him."

Of course Pete does. How he ever became a Secret Service agent boggles her mind sometimes.

"Of course you do."

[k39zzz]

Pete shrugs. "He's a cop. The other guy's a prince. We almost got killed by gymnasium equipment. Shit happens."

He has a much easier time taking the Warehouse in stride than Myka does.

Sameth isn't sure what to do at this point, but he would really like to get his arm treated,

"Um, where are we?"

[rorypond]

Yeeah.

Rory would really like to go home and not be attacked by random, malevolent dodgeballs anymore.

"And how do we get back to the Bar?" he adds.

Mark is getting pretty tired of the rain by now. He's soaked to the bone and resisting the urge to sneeze. Wiping the water out his eyes, he fixes a gaze on the woman, "....I can't fucking prove it. Unless you're one of those people who buys into the notion that you can judge someone by their dress. Do I look like anything but a fucking cop?"

He gestures at his cheap suit and cheap shoes. Every inch a civil servant.

He shoots Rory a look before looking back to the woman and the man, "...I have a feeling they don't know what we're talking about."

He brought the rain on himself. And his point is fair, he does look a lot like a cop.

"How did you get in?" She turns to Pete for confirmation. "No one can get in the front without triggering things and there aren't any back doors." Are there? She can't believe Artie wouldn't have told them about back doors that they should worry about. "And what is a Detroit cop doing in the middle of nowhere, South Dakota?"

"You don't know that," argues Pete. "There could be all kinds of freaky portal thingies here--and can we get back to finding Claudia?"

[makesthings]

"Claudia? I know a Claudia, she's good at making things especially with computer things."

[rorypond]

... yeah. Rory has no idea who Claudia is, but Pete mentioned 'freaky portal thingies' and as far as he's concerned, that's what he'll elaborate on.

"Um. Yeah - portals. We came through a portal-door-thing leading us from Milliways Bar. That's what we need to find to get back."

Wait.

Something occurs to him -

"Er. Sameth, you said you know Claudia? That means she knows about the door. And Milliways."
