I'll go the other way.

The bottom corridor has another door to the central room (the dimension of which would suggest it leads to another room next to the boardroom), which is somewhat more battered looking than the others. From the corner you can see that there are four more doors on the other corridor, all plain looking but in fairly good condition. The closest one has a toilet symbol on it.
Your motion tracker is showing movement coming down the opposite corridor, the one you came down originally.

I think I shall hide in the bathroom for a minute.

Fortunately it's empty. The movement, from what you can gather, enters one of the central rooms through the shoddy door and becomes a blob as things move about in there.

I'll check the next door in the corridor that isn't the central one. Carefully of course.

It leads into a room that looks to be decked out as a sort of crash pad. There's a bed and a TV, a cupboard, a sink. It's fairly sparse and pretty clean, so you'd imagine it doesn't belong to anyone in particular. There's nobody in it at the moment.

The next room down is pretty much identical, also devoid of humanity.

OK, I'll risk the central room, again peeking in with the AV stalk as stealthily as I can manage.

The same two blokes are in there, but they seem to be happier now. They're sat at the board table.

I'll head back to the bathroom (for some privacy
) and see if I can find any info on Johannas getting rocked, hopefully by some Tex Trex bots.

Nothing comes up. But while you're in there there's more motion in the corridor, coming towards your room.

I'll take a position near the door, ready to grab.

Just so we have the same thing in mind, this is a public toilet style affair with cubicles and urinals and stuff, rather than a home bathroom.

Oh, gotcha. Well then I'll hide in the stall that's most in the middle.

A few seconds later the door clatters open and you hear two heavy men come in and start using the urinals.

Just realised that I'm still hanging around with Paddy near the entrance to this place. I'll pass the time will idle chit chat, but also ask him about the TT van that was mentioned right back near the start.
Dirk wrote:So tell me Patrick, have you heard about this van doing the rounds? Guys in suits selling some high tech gear out the back. Sounds like the ones supplying your guys in here. Have you seen it around anywhere or know where it comes from?

I'll try following them, see where they go.

Slipping out behind them you see two blokes in armour. They head back towards the grunting room and go into the next door along.
