Whilst waiting for the others to arrive, Grif does the best he can to make the place a bit more cheerful. Having to improvise due to a lack of materials, he daubs anti-communist slogans and motivational phrases on the wall with the blood of his fallen team mates. He makes sure to use a moistened towelette to clean his hands afterwords.
The scrubots have cleaned up the blood and gore. Screw it, the pipes dump the other five clones on the platform outside, pretty much at the same time.

The pipe spits out MO near the rest of the second clones.
MO wrote:Smooth ride. Well, let's get back inside the briefing room, shall we?
He heads off to the briefing room.

Bess plops out of the pipe, a strange smile on her face and a finger up her nose.

Derek jumps up and pulls his bullhorn back to his mouth.
ROGER ROGER!
He moves through the door that was next to the clerk's counter, observing the minor structural damage with great curiosity.

Oh wait, we're still on the platform? Mona enters the briefing room.

Grif has been sat in the briefing room waiting patiently for everyone.
Smiling.

No, there was a waiting room with chairs along the walls, a clerks desk, and a RED door.
Something happened in one corner, but I wouldn't know anything about that.
I think the briefing room is behind the red door I've just walked through.

You've all been in the waiting room. There's another RED door in there, which Grimmie has just exited through. I'm having to download Acrobat to check exactly what's through there though (I know pretty much, but why wing it when I have it written down) because I'm on my Windows 7 install.

Here we are.
The door leads to a short hall, which in turn opens on a glorious chamber: an enormous open space that stretches upward so high you’re not sure you can see the top. Catwalks and slideways cross back and forth over your heads. Autocars and transbots zip all around the ground-level plaza. At the center of the open space is a beautiful fountain topped with a sculpture of two Troubleshooters, bravely standing back to back with their lasers out. Everywhere you look, you see citizens of rank: RED, ORANGE, YELLOW, GREEN. Even... on that catwalk up there—is that an INDIGO talking with a pair of BLUE citizens? It really is! You’ve never seen an INDIGO citizen before, except on vidshows. Truly, you have arrived. It’s almost too much to take in.

Where do we go from here?
