Synopsis

You stalk down the dark hallway, heels clicking, spine straight, and try to keep your breathing steady. You really should have stopped for a drink on your way over—fortify the nerves—but that will have to wait.

Ahead of you the admin assistant shines a torch from nameplate to nameplate and chatters, incessantly, as they walk.

"...ost of the people in this part of the building are architecture or architecture-adjacent, design, urban planning, but with the history basement flooded—but they promise the power will be back on tomorrow—you've also got a couple of medieval histories, some archeologies in the vacant..."

That places the Professor nearby. Good.

"Oh-ho!" exclaims the assistant. They stop in front of one door and fumble with their keys for a minute before managing to get it open. They step inside.
