With everybody now in the sub-basement, Cordelia will head for the door behind the lift, and place her right palm on the wall about 12" from the RH side of the door, about 4ft from the floor.
She will then say
"Cordelia Chan, Princess of the Royal House of Tiberius Barriman, Access Requested"
Security AI:
A voice will then say Verified, Access Granted
The 'vault door' will then swing open.
The door leads to a corridor 4ft wide and 8ft high.
Cordelia leads the way down the corridor stopping 40ft down the corridor about 10ft short of the sharp right-hand turn.
She then says
"At this point you need to stop and positively identify yourselves."
In a significantly louder voice, and speaking to the corridor (i.e facing the corner) she will then say
"Cordelia Chan, Princess of the Royal House of Tiberius Barriman, CEO and Director Mizzurian, accompanied by
Prince Elect Cormac Camerilli
Prince Elect Kenneth Elgrim
Princess Elect Rhiannon Erica Kerrigan
Princess Elect Mei Li
Princess Elect Cassandra Troy
Prince Elect Edward Pinmillion
Princess Elect Alarna Macfarlane
Princess Elect Natalie Horn
Prince Elect Cathal O'Donoghue
Princess Elect Hashimoto Natsuki
Prince Elect Blake Hemsworth"
She then waits ..
After about 6 seconds a voice will respond
Security AI:
Verified, authorised to proceed
Cordelia will then continue down the corridor.
This section of corridor is about 150ft in length and apparently ends in a dead end
As you approach the end of the corridor, you notice that there are a number of rectangular slots 6" high and 3" wide in the end wall at various heights.
Set in the right hand wall is a substantial 6ft diameter circular hatch with a manual crank wheel in the centre.
On reaching the door Cordelia will say
"The door is weighted to automatically close and lock itself. It is also quite heavy, so if you could expedite your ingress through it I would appreciate it."
She then adjusts her sword so she can draw it easily, cranks the handle, pushes the door slightly ajar, turning so she has her back against the door, draws her sword and then pushes the door open, grunting as she does so. It is obvious she is used to doing this and that she is having to exert a significant amount of effort to push the door open..
The room beyond appears large and dark..
After everyone enters Cordelia will slide to the edge of the door, then let it go. It closes with a solid metallic reverberating clang.
gm note:
As soon as I can make the update you will find some new links on the "Intro and Floor Plans" page
It takes a couple of minutes for your eyes to adjust to the darkness. Cordelia remains more or less where she is by the door.
Once your eyes adjust it's actually relatively easy to see in what appears to be a huge room, about 300ft on it's major axis, and 250ft on its minor.
About 50feet away the Pattern softly glows with a pale blue light.
