Scott didn't like the sound of that intercom announcement one bit. Granted, he was hard-pressed to think of one he did like. Maybe the ones that involved pancakes? ...No. No, not even those. By virtue of the man talking about them, those announcements were tainted. Those pancakes were tainted. Tainted pancakes.

There were a few people lingering around the hallway, though not many. Oliver gave them a quick once-over as he headed back toward the end of the hall. None of them seemed terribly threatening, but looks could be deceiving, and he didn't quite dismiss them from his mind.
He came to a stop outside room M82, and switched the flashlight from his right hand to his left, hesitating just a moment before knocking sharply on the door.

Claude let out a small breath as he squinted through the darkness at the room numbers. M81, M82... Guy had been right that it was probably at the end of this hall. Looking ahead, he quickened his pace and skipped over a couple of doors entirely. By the time he looked up at the room numbers again, his eyes landed on M87.
He felt more winded than he normally would have, and it probably showed, but Claude had to attribute that to some of the ill effects of the experiments on top of not eating as well as he was used to. Thankfully, it wasn't that big of a deal. Standing a little straighter now, he gave a sharp knock on the door.
"Da--" He caught his near slip of the tongue and corrected himself. "Er, Mr. Ronixis? Are you there? It's me, Claude."

Guy wasn't sure why Claude was bothering to knock when they were in such a hurry, but he didn't question the other man about it. He caught that slip, and only smiled to himself in response. It had to be a pretty hard habit to break.
A few seconds passed, but there was no reply; the door didn't open, and he didn't hear anyone call through from inside. Guy held back a concerned sigh as he glanced to his friend. "I think we'd better just go in," he suggested, though he didn't open the door himself. Claude would, when he was ready.
