"Obviously," Kristogar starts, deliberately, "we're not planning on just walking in through the front door right? ... The Tri-Vex tower is far, far more advanced than any other government building that is currently in operation. We could all be killed ten times each without coming close to where you want to be."
"So, what, we can't get in is what you're saying?" Tobias asks.
"Think outside the boundaries for a moment," Kristogar replies. "The entrances to the labs are nearly impossible to get through, for obvious security reasons. Nobody can get in unless they're supposed to get in. However..."
"The exit wasn't designed that way," Nowhereman finishes, smiling.
Kristogar is once again impressed by the veteran know-how of the mad one. "Precisely. It's impossible to get in, but unbelievably easy to get out. The exit was designed for emergency use only, in the highly unlikely scenario of a successful siege. All it takes is an electromagnetic blast to unlock the exit door. Then, it will be easy to open from the inside."
"I can do that," Eurostar offers. "You are saying that you want me to phase in and open the door, yes?"
"Yes," says Kristogar. "I can supply the EM blast, a silent one at that. However, Eurostar, I need you to promise me that no matter what you see once you're inside, you will not act until we're with you. No...matter...what..."
Eurostar isn't sure that he likes the sound of Kristogar's tone, but he promises. "You really know what you're talking about? You are absolutely sure about this?"
"Yes, I'm sure," Kristogar states. I oughtta be...I designed the damn thing.
