Jack notices the toolbox is missing.

Jack opens the cabinets under each of the desks while talking to himself:
|

Jack opens the drawers on the desks looking for tools. He also rummages
|
<span class="quote speech">Where is that fucking toolbox?</span>
|
||||||
through the cabinets and drawers in the kitchen area.
|
<span class="comment">Do we have an alternative expletive to use?</span>
|

After finding some object that he could use as a screwdriver, he returns
|
Well, it isn't there. He continues with the kitchen area. Still
|
||||||
to the door, taking off the control panel. He realizes that he has no

nothing. He enters the bathroom through a door next to the kitchen area.

Nope, not here either. <span class="quote speech">Welp, time to

He returns to the kitchen area and rummages through the drawers to find
|

|
anything useful. He grabs a fork. <span class="quote speech">Works as a

screwdriver, I guess...</span> He proceeds to jam the handle into a
|

screw on one of the kitchen cabinets to see if it will turn. It does

|
– barely. Using a slightly rusty knife sharpener

|
<span class="comment">Wetzstahl?</span> he begins the long and arduous
|
||||||
|
process of making the fork handle more suitable as a screwdriver,
|
||||||
|
grinding its end over it over and over and over. He does this for a long
|
||||||
|
time. Over and over and over. His fingers start to go sore and he stops
|
||||||
|
to inspect his work. <span class="quote speech">Meh, could work.</span>
|

He tests it on the kitchen cabinet again.

His newly gained screwdriver in hand, he walks back to the control panel
|
||||||
|
for the door and unscrews it. After a bit of fiddling, the panel lifts
|
||||||
|
off the wall, pulling cables out of the box behind it. Jack holds the
|
||||||
|
fork by the handle and bends the <span class="comment"> middle?

|
||||||

panel's switches using the outer prongs. Nothing happens.

while, he realizes that the wiring is more complex than expected and he
