Roaring water echoes from somewhere deep below. Annie grabs her bag and
goes ahead. The tunnel wall to the right features doors, large gates,
and windows that allow a peek into abandoned offices, storage spaces, and
control rooms. The end of the tunnel connects to a balcony with walkways
connecting to either side, extending into a narrow ravine. She steps onto
it, making sure to keep her distance to the railing, and looks around.
The walkway to the right connects to the top of a dam blocking the ravine.
A couple bushes, purple flowers, and a small tree grow on top of it and
the wall is partially green from moss. Water flows over the spillway,
falling into the depths below where it joins a torrent of water coming
from two big pipes at the bottom of the dam.

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.

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&apos;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:
