Jack notices that Annie has unwittingly stepped onto the glass pane. Jack looks at a clipboard that was placed on the control panel on the
center console.<br />
<span class="quote speech">The next maintenence expedition is scheduled
for 2011 &ndash; I don&apos;t think anyone ever stepped foot in here
after &lt;dome city&gt; was closed off.</span><br />
<span class="quote speech">It wouldn&apos;t surprise me.</span> Annie
leans against the center console. <span class="quote speech">Apart from a
small group, the entire city is legitimately scared of the outside
world.</span><br />
<span class="quote speech">I mean they&apos;re probably right, the
outside world is dangerous. Look down, by the way.</span><br />
<span class="quote speech">Whoa!</span><br />
She stumbles backwards. Without noticing it, she had walked onto the
glass pane. It allows a view down into a hall filled with machinery.

Jack walks up to the rusty railing, grabbing it and trying to shake it

The other walkway connects to a freestanding staircase leading all the
way down.

Jack turns the key and the gate starts to move up, scrathcing and
squeeking as it does, revealing a bunch of crates. About half-way
up, it gets stuck, making a buzzing noise. Jack lets go of the key, it
stops. They duck under the gate and look around. They find themselves in
a warehouse much larger than the gate and windows facing the tunnel would
lead to assume.<br />
<span class="quote speech">Now that, ladies and gentlemen, is what I call
an adequate stockpile of spare parts.</span><br />
Jack walks up to a huge crate and wipes the dust off the label:
<span class="quote non-speech">Turbine C, replacement 2</span>.
