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 – I don't think anyone ever stepped foot in here

<span class="quote speech">It wouldn't surprise me.</span> Annie

leans against the center console. <span class="quote speech">Apart from a

She stumbles backwards. Without noticing it, she had walked onto the
|
||||||
|
glass pane. It allows a view down into a hall filled with machinery.

They look down into it. Water is pouring out of a burst pipe and from
|
||||||
|
the flanges between pipes.<br />

Jack walks up to the rusty railing, grabbing it and trying to shake it
|
||||||
|
as hard as he can but it doesn't even rattle.<br />
|

<span class="quote speech">Quality engineering.</span><br />
|

Using the walkway to the right, they get on top of the dam.
|
||||||
|
<span class="comment">And now what?</span>

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>.
