**INT. CHRONOS TOWER MAINTENANCE CORRIDOR - CONTINUOUS**
The maintenance corridor is sterile and white, with humming machinery lining the walls. Valentine leads them through a series of twists and turns, avoiding security cameras.
We need to reach the upper levels. That's where the temporal key is being housed.

We don't. We create a distraction.
He stops at a junction, pulling out a device.
Mia, can you create a temporal surge in the main power conduit?
Attempting now. Activating localized temporal surge.
He activates the device. A surge of temporal energy erupts from a nearby conduit, causing lights to flicker throughout the tower.
Distraction created. Security systems are temporarily offline.
Now's our chance. Move!
