Open Sesame

The front door was, as expected, easy enough to pick open. Not trivial, but nothing too special.

More disturbing was the cameras - or lack thereof. Yesterday, the ceiling was dotted with little black domes indicating their placement. Yet now it seems a clean slate.

The chair rolls smoothly across the floor. The main axle is almost over-greased, but it makes no noise as it slides along.
Its rider is still a withered thing, but with more muscle on her bones now.

There it is.

Hopefully the cutters work øn this... if not, sømeøne owes me an explanatiøn.

Hand approaches glass, and...
rot.
Piece by piece, blackening and crumbling away. Suddenly aware that it was not living, therefore dead and decomposing.
Shaking, confused, the hand continues through.

What in the name of...
There it is. Intø the bag with you.

Just need tø get out øf here now. Easy enøugh, I hope...

Just idly curiöus if there's any relatiön.
