"Let's go togather. I think that will be much easier." She muttered

Ava nodded. She walked over to Tenley. She looked up at her. Ava was pretty short so Tenley towered over her. "L-Let's g-go." She said.

Tenley nodded and walked over to the transport. Typing in the locations she leaned against the glass window comfortably until she heard a mechanical voice "access denied." She glared "oh I'll show you access denied." She muttered and quickly started typing in her armband

Ava looked really nervous. "I-I have to g-get something!" She said as she dashed back in. She dashed back into her room and grabbed the pieces. With it being almost finished she didn't want it to get taken or damaged. She ran back out to Tenley. "S-Sorry!" She said wincing as she got back to her.

"Tjats fine, I just got this." She smirked and the mechanical voice came back "destination ahead."

Kaisa led the other Agents on duty down towards the basement, where the boiler room was located. She hoped Tenley had got her message. She was planning on giving her as much time as possible. Something told her that room 42 was hiding something, otherwise, why would it have been so secure? She gulped as they descended the stairs, and the darkness seemed to swallow her as the stairwell narrowed. Harvey, who was right behind her, paused and fumbled for his flashlight. He flicked it on. "I'll take the lead," he suggested. Kaisa nodded gratefully, slightly guilty for tricking him. Harvey was the only one who knew about her claustrophobia, and the closest thing she had to a friend. There had been an incident during training, but he had covered for her. Afterward, she had thanked him, explaining why it terrified her so much, and how the darkness only made it worse. Thinking about this made her feel more guilty, but she pushed her feelings aside and pressed up against the wall to let him pass. Finally, they reached the boiler room. Harvey pushed open the door. The room was illuminated with a red light so that the maintenance people didn't have their night vision ruined. The flashlight went off, and Kaisa followed Harvey into the room. It was large, and filled with steam. she coughed, covering her mouth with her sleeve, and the other dozen Agents did the same. She slowly advanced, walking carefully among the steaming pipes and equipment laying around. She looked carefully at the boiler, pretending to inspect it. Then something caught her eye. A valve had been broken off of the boiler. She gaped in astonishment. She heard the door click shut and she whirled around. Agent Viena tried the handle. "It's locked!" she said in surprise. Kaisa frowned. "Who shut the door?" she demanded. Everyone quickly assured her it wasn't them. "So it was someone from out there, but…" the realization dawned on her. "Oh smokes. The boiler, the door. Oh smokes. We're trapped. Radio someone!" she snapped, her voice quavering. Someone jumped on it. Harvey frowned. "Kaisa, are you okay? What…?" his voice died off as he caught sight of a temperature gauge. Then the snapped valve. And then the gauge again. "Oh." "No service Kaisa!" Tracy Viena said, casting aside formalities. Kaisa looked up from the gauge into the faces of the Agents she had brought down here. They may have been a part of Valencia, but they were people too. And they were looking to her for leadership. She took a deep breath. "Someone try to get service. Tracy, round up some tools. Daniel! Try to fix the valve. Horace, try to get the door. The rest of you, find anything that might work as a battering ram or something to fix the boiler. If we don't get out of here to get help, this whole facility is going up in flames."

Ava looked around as the hover craft flew about. I should probably check what Kaisa is up to. Ava thought. She sighed as she tuned into Kaisa's tracking device. She jumped when she heard shouts. "zzzzzzzzzzzz-service. Tracy, round up so-zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz-the valve. Horace, try to get the door. The rest of you, find anything that zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz-ttering ram or something t-zzzzzzzzzzzzz. If we don't get out of here to get help, this whole facility is going up in flames." She heard. There seemed to be something to be wrong with the service. "Umm? Tenley?" Ava said nervously. "I-I think t-that K-Kaisa is in t-trouble."

Kaisa tried to get service on her tablet with no luck, she cursed, wishing she had a way to contact Tenley to tell her to get the others out, and to get out if she was in room 42. She swiftly searched the room, but her search revealed no alternative exit. Se wondered how a brand new facility could have over fifty safety code violations in one room. She found a few pieces of wire and gave them to Horace. "Try these on the lock." he nodded and kept trying. She walked to the back of the room, trying to get service. Anything…Anything… Nothing. If only Tenley had been smart enough to trust her in the first place, she would've gotten ahold of the high tech earpieces that the Officials had. She couldn't really blame her for being cautious. If only she had done more than give her a silly access code though She gasped aloud. The message encoding. She quickly typed up a message, hoping beyond anything that it would send. In boiler room. Diversion turned real. Trapped. Do something, or we're all dead.

Tenley frowned at Ava. She opened her mouth to ask her what was wrong when her arm pad buzzed. Reading the message, her eyes widened. "Transport, basement level!" She yelled. Hearing a buzz of confirmation she sighed and waited for the transfer to zoom them.over to the basement boiler room

Ava shook. Did Kaisa get discovered? What happened? If Kaisa got discovered were they as well? What if this was a trap? Ava started to unconsciously fiddle with her finders.

"Kaisa and her team got stuck on the boiler room and they cant escape!" She panicked

Ava nodded her head up and down. She pulled her hair in frustration. What could she do? How could she help? "I-I can s-set off the t-tracker on her back s-s-so K-Kaisa knows help i-is c-c-coming!" AVa said in a panic. She then cursed her self. It was linked to her laptop and she had left that at the dorms. Her hands brushed the pieces of silver in her pocket. That's it! She sat down and began putting them together quickly. It began to form the shape of a small figure.

Kaisa ran her fingers through her hair. "Status!" she yelled over the noise. "No luck, it's jammed!" said Horace. "We're trying to release the pressure but we're only slowing it down!" Daniel shouted in a strained voice. Tracy appeared by her side. "There's no equipment that we can use down here!" Kaisa pinched the bridge of her nose. "How much time Daniel?" "An hour would be a miracle." he reported. She lifted her head. "Right, new plan, Daniel, keep delaying that boiler. Everyone!" she raised her voice. " Find something that might set off an alarm, and see if you can't find a vent or something!!"

Yuki was sitting in his office, feeling tension. He wanted to see what was going on, then was randomly informed that the boiler room was heating up abnormally, thinking the worst he rushed upstairs, looking around to see the problem. Locked…? He thought to himself, going over to the door knocking on it. “Hey, is anyone in there?” He said with concern.

(Just say that you got an alert that the boiler room was heating up and went to check it out.)

Tenley watched Ava as the transport came to a stop

(Boiler is in the basement, but that could be the control room?)
Kaisa held her sleeve to her mouth, trying to stop the smoke from getting into her lungs. She coughed violently as the black smoke grew thicker, making it harder and harder to see. I've got to…do something… she thought desperately. Harvey was heading an attempt to bash down the door. The metal door. The reinforced metal door. Gosh, sometimes he was thick, but Kiasa understood his need to do something. She tried to walk over to him but staggered as another wave of heat erupted from the boiler. Daniel cried out, and nearly dropped the piece of piping stuck under the broken valve, the only thing keeping the boiler from blowing. Kaisa could plainly see the blisters and burns forming on his hands. "Daniel!" she shouted through the growing noise from the boiler and the battering ram party. "Let me take over!" "No! It's too hot! My hands were able to be acclimated slowly! If you try, your hands will be scarred and burned so badly you might not be able to hold a fork for weeks!" "And if you drop that pipe, there won't be any more weeks!" She yelled back. Daniel hesitated and then nodded. She kneeled next to him, braced her self, and grabbed the pipe with both hands. She nearly screamed, a=but she didn't want Daniel to see, so she merely bit her cheek as the pain washed over her. The sheer heat was so intensely this close to the boiler that she could smell her hair curling and shriving a bit. Daniel let go and staggered away from the boiler. Kaisa held the pipe fast, but she knew that even if she could hold out indefinitely, the boiler wouldn't. THeir time was almost up.

Yuki shook, he couldn’t believe it. “M-Ms. Kasia?!?! Are you alright!?” He cried out, still suprised that someone was locked inside, he knew that both would be struggling to breathe from the heat inside, he should know, he used to work in the boiler room before he was promoted to guard. He took his hammer of its case, prepared to knock the door down with whatever it takes. Don't worry… I’ll get you out… He began to beat on the door, wanting both of them to back away before he tried breaking down the door. “Don’t worry! I’ll get you both out!” He screamed through.

Harvey yelled over to Kaisa in surprise. "Kaisa! THere's someone outside!" Kaisa barely heard him. Her hands were clenched so tightly now, that you could see white even though the heat turned her hands red. "Havey," she said, panting from the exertion on pulling down on the pipe. "Get… get Tenley if you can… She might be able, to, to help with the boiler… if the door opens…get out, okay?" Harvey knelt beside her, ignoring the heat. "Let me take it, someones trying to get in now," "No, you have to get the others out of the building. Find Tenley if you can, but otherwise, sound the alarm. I'll give you as much time as I can." "But-" "Harvey! We have a dozen agents down here, and another few hundred citizens in the building! You need to get them out. I won't be able to, once I let go, my body will go into shock. They need you." Harvey saw that she wasn't relenting. Witha bitter look on his face, he nodded. another wave of heat cascaded from the boiler. "Go and help whoever is trying to break down the door!" She yelled. Harvey obliged, and with their last bit of strength, all the Agents, aside from Daniel and Kaisa, began beating on the door.

Yuki began to beat the door, slowly denting it. It wasn’t budging much, so he used both hands to pound the door with the hammer with as much force as he could manage. He aimed for the top, but decided to aim lower, so it would open his way instead of the opposite. “Hold on! I’m almost done! I’ll get you out of their!”
Still beating on the door, it started to move outwards, he was close. Using the rest of his energy he finally opened it up, the door detached from the wall, flying at Yuki. Yuki moved out of the way, but the door hit his left arm. “Shit…” he covered his arm, he could tell his arm was hurting a lot. He rushed inside, coughing from the smoke floating above the room like a cloud. “Is everyone alright?”

"Yuki!" Harvey yelled through the smoke. "It's the boiler! Help me get everyone out and sound the alarm!"

Ava heald up a small robot. "T-This could get inside t-the room i-i-if we c-cant." She said showing Tenley. "Th-Though we s-should be able t-to get in." Ava said. "If I-I can get t-to the c-control room m-maybe I can o-open the d-door." She explained.

"Yuki!" Harvey yelled through the smoke. "It's the boiler! Help me get everyone out and sound the alarm!"

Yuki looked over. “Alright, hurry, get yourself out of here, I’ll sound the alarm just get yourself to safety, I’m not going to go out with someone dead.”
Yuki ran off, heading into his office where he had his own alarm. He picked up the phone and called over the intercom. “Attention everyone! We have a situation in the boiler room and it’s dangerous to stay here, everyone exit the building and leave the premises! Make sure you’re far enough that the building isn’t in your vision! Don’t worry about anyone else just get out the building! Save yourself!”

Harvey shouted. "Alright, everyone! Out out out!! Go Go Go! Horace! I need help with Daniel! Get hiim out of here! I'll meet you outside the room." He knelt next to Kaisa again. She barely noticed him, the strain was so great. She pulled with all her might against the pipe. "Kaisa, come on, let me take over." She shook her head. "Get out of here Harvey, I won't be able to make it out anyways, I told you. Everyone is too weak from the smoke and the second I let go my body is going into shock. Just get out of here, and if you can, make sure Tenley and the others are safe." Kaisa looked straight into her friend's eyes. "Harvey…. Thanks for being my friend." He smiled sadly. "Of course, it's been an honor." he got up and raced out of the door to help Horace with Daniel, leaving Kaisa alone in the boiler room.
