Now would be the best time to bypass that guy, unless we're planning on a stealth-KO or stealth-kill run, in which case we should follow him and take him out. I'm assuming the RoE is stealth with bluff backup.

Yeah, that was why I sent him to get the glass of water.

> Give a quick nod.

>The moment you nod, Ruukoto wastes no time in wheeling you forward and into the right hallway. The hall is more narrow than the ones you were just in; probably a a few yards across, and white. The walls are white, the floor is white, and the ceiling is white. Light comes from large panels in the ceiling, making the hall brighter than the corridors outside as well. Ahead some yards, you can see a white door, which is closed. Past is are two more doors, both white. One is open a few inches, while the other is closed. The air has a strange chemical smell to it, you can't quite describe it but you don't think that you like it much. The hall is quiet right now.

>You point toward the door, and Ruukoto wheels you toward it. She does not bother to stop for the door, instead pushing you into it and sending it open.
>Inside is a white room with two elevated beds on strange thick frames that look to be adjustable, set perpendicular to the left wall. Light shines from thin covered panels along the walls, while curtains dangle from rails built into the ceiling, positioned to sequester the beds if drawn closed. Small tables sit near the heads of the beds. You are alone in here.

>You wait a minute, keeping your ears sharp for anything that sounds like footsteps approaching. You think you can distantly hear something that sounds like activity from further down the hall, if you've learned to judge your echos right, you don't hear anyone coming right now.
