Jack notices the toolbox is missing.
|
||||
Jack opens the drawers on the desks looking for tools. He also rummages
|
||||
through the cabinets and drawers in the kitchen area.
|
||||
After finding some object that he could use as a screwdriver, he returns
|
||||
to the door, taking off the control panel. He realizes that he has no
|
||||
idea what he's doing so he attempts (and fails) to get the manual from
|
||||
the computer.

Jack opens the cabinets under each of the desks while talking to himself:
|
||||
<span class="quote speech">Where is that fucking toolbox?</span>
|

<span class="comment">Do we have an alternative expletive to use?</span>
|

Well, it isn't there. He continues with the kitchen area. Still
|
||||
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

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

<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.
