The Bomb

[edsidlemirth]

This particular building is one of many in Gotham with historical significance. What it is, where it is... it isn't important to the one who made the game. The only thing important to him about it is that it was the ideal location to set up the bomb. Once locating it, he set up the rest of the puzzle around it

Sneaking around the closed construction site and finding their way into the basement is more familiar territory for Walter than all of this computer business. He makes short work of finding a back way in, disarming the door's alarm with a few tools, and kicking open the door. Once they make it inside, however, what they come to is another computer.
"Hurm."

Rorschach steps aside to allow Nite Owl to work on the computer. He, himself, will be busy studying the bomb. He fidgets with the folding multi-tool nervously with one hand while he tries to remember everything he's ever read about explosives. He doesn't dare cut anything without knowing it's right.
"Complicated... Some cords may be redundant."

He's not really sure it's proper to call himself Nite Owl right now, only wearing half his costume -- ski mask and night-vision goggles and gloves and belt over sensible civilian clothes -- and toting a backpack full of evil tupperware containers. But he's 'on duty,' still, so he guesses it counts.

Nite Owl is happy to let Rorschach take the lead on the way in, knowing that this 'street' stuff is not at all what he's best suited for. And once they're in --

...wow. That's definitely a bomb. And a computer. And a freaking bomb. Wow.

(It's one of those moments, really where you know you should be losing it, should be turning in the opposite direction and running as far away as you possibly can, but for whatever reason that part of your brain has just turned off

The screen lights up. The display shows the time and the countdown. The way here took a toll on the latter. Will there be enough time left?

"He's right. Don't mess with my bomb," says a voice, coming out of the computer's speaker. Could this be prerecorded?

"Ennk..."
They're being watched, that was clear from the camera, but they're being watched right now. It's annoying beyond words that the villain can see them and they can't see him. Walter is getting more angry with technology as time goes on.

"Just looking. Not touching."

Rorschach moves up closer behind Daniel to watch the clock tick down.
