The blackened, charred suite was being tended to only by mostly harmless maintenance robots. Patches of the carpet and renovated walls seemed to be growing over the charred skeleton more like an organic being than mechanical repairs - an odd after-effect of the city's biology. The robots themselves had cleared all the rubble and remains of the fire, leaving it and empty room.

One of the robots turned to face her in a somewhat confused fashion as the woman emerged into the room from the portal. Unlike the Securitrons, it was not threaded to the network with a constant link. It stopped what it was doing,"Excuse me? What in blazes are you doing?"

Tucked in Caroline's belt is the small plasma pistol that she had developed for Mordecai. There certainly would be no better time for testing it than this but there would be no need to shoot at the maintenance robot. She hurries past it and into the hallway.

"Ahm- You're not allowed to be on this floor!" The robot curled up it's arms as she ran past it, brimming with a bit of irritation. But it hadn't been tasked with capturing intruders. It paused at the door as she ran into the hallway to what appeared to be the elevators. It floated towards the staircase to approach a terminal and report what it had found.

She rushed after the bot and aimed with her plasma pistol and managed to hit the terminal before the bot could reach it. Next was to find a quick way down. Caroline ran over to the elevator and pryed the doors open just enough to shoot a portal inside. Shooting one next to her, step stepped inside.

The shaft seemed to go on forever below her. The elevator was thankfully above her but it was hard to tell how long that would be the case.

"I want a raise after this." With a deep breath she fell from the edge. She had borrowed Chell's boots but hadn't tried them out yet and ended up screaming the entire fall. Caroline landed fine but still ended up losing her balance and falling back onto her butt. The doors opened to the basement with her there shaken and out of breath.
