"It doesn't look like there's much in here," Liv said, finally breaking the silence, "What door do you feel like going through?"

"Um . . . let's try the left one."

"So back out to the lobby and then left?" Liv asked.

"Yes."

"Alright then."

They left the right room and re-entered the front lobby. Liv crossed to the left-hand door, walking briskly.

The room on the other side of the lobby seemed to serve a similar purpose to the one on the other side of the lobby, in that it didn't seem to serve much of a purpose besides being a transition point. This one didn't have an elevator, but there was nothing of real note.

"Huh," Liv said, unsurprised. "Still no misty people, maybe they can't appear in buildings."

Just now, Through The Living Glass said:

"Hmm. Maybe the other door?"

"Yeah, or the elevator next. If there were other people nearby, wouldn't we have heard them already?"

"Yeah, definitely."

She exited the room and walked through the remaining door.

"Isn't that the room we were in before the fog though? The door to the elevator was in the right room," Li said as she followed.

"Yeah, but we should check it out anyway, don't you think?"

". . .  that is a good point, since it's were we'd been before all this."

The circular room was not the same as it had been. Devices seemed damaged, or were entirely missing. Papers were torn or scattered. A faint mist hung in the room.

The only thing that could be seen through the glass that looked into the Rabbit Hole's clearing was fog. Nothing but uniform grey. Not a single detail could be made out; not the hole itself, not the devices surrounding it.

Liv walked up to the glass, peering outside.

"So, not all of the mist dissipated, interesting."

Liv looked with her, going back to the place where she'd found the document in her pocket--maybe there was more worth discovering.

If she took it, then yes.

There was a part of the torn document lying on the ground, but not much else of note. The portion of the document read:

-appearance of the agents from the Department of Containment and Protection raises the possibility of temporal anomalies  caused by the Rabbit Hole's influence. The unidentified agents were only present for a few minutes, but they seemed to be responding to an event that, from our perspective, has not occurred yet; possibly a containment breach. This information is concerning, and should be taken into account during further research and monitoring. Confirmation of the existence of similar anomalies in our present time is now being searched for.

At the bottom of the page there was a handwritten note.

Director Roost isn't doing a damn thing about this. We need to figure out what this means and what to do about it, even if it means directly disobeying him. Command in Seattle still hasn't responded. I'm getting worried.

Even if you can read the redacted text, your characters can't. So keep that in mind.

If you want to keep high immersion, you could also just...not read the redacted text. But it's your choice!

Liv read it, then went over to Astrid and handed it to her.

"Look at this! It's talking about some kind of new anomaly appearing, I think . . . maybe it's the mist person we saw."

Astrid looked at it curiously.

"You think so? Why?"

"Well it's referring to something, and I'm not sure what else we've seen so far would fit, ideas?"
