+ Emily gets up and leaves the control room towards the nearest kitchen. + Once there, she realizes how thirsty she is and goes directly + for the sink. She opens the tap and hears the pump under the floor + kick in, but no water comes out. Dismayed, she closes the tap and + looks around. Her eyes wander to the door – Tony's lab is + just down the hall, she's gonna try her luck there. +

+

+ Standing in front of the sink, she reaches for a beaker on the drying + rack. She hesitates for a moment before grabbing one. With the other + hand, she opens the tap. It starts spitting a brown liquid with clumps. + Ugh. She opens it up fully and waits + for the water to clear up – and then waits a bit more just to be + sure. Finally, she fills up the beaker and takes a cautious sip. + Tastes fine. +

+

+ After downing roughly half a liter of water, her attention turns to the + mice, which she had neglected just like herself. She feeds them and gives + them fresh water, then she fills up the beaker again and leaves for the + kitchen. +
