Valentine, Thorne, and Elara approach the entrance to the maintenance tunnel. The area is deserted, overgrown with vegetation. The entrance is partially collapsed, blocked by debris.
This is it. The tunnel should lead us to a service corridor beneath the Genesis Lab.
Are you sure this will work?
It's our best chance. The main security systems won't detect us if we stay off the main power grid.
Valentine examines the entrance, then pulls out a compact device from his belt.
I can clear the debris. But it'll make some noise. We need to be ready.
He activates the device, which emits a low hum. The debris begins to vibrate, then disintegrates into dust. The tunnel entrance is revealed, dark and ominous.
After you.
Valentine nods, activating his night vision goggles. He leads the way into the tunnel, with Thorne and Elara following close behind.
