Nadya isn't about to buy that line. "How about the people that stay here for testing." Nadya says, taking a shot in the dark. "Where do they stay?"

"Nobody stays here," said the woman. "I don't know where you got your information from, but we don't keep people here. The tests take a couple of hours at most." Vasara watched the woman with his one good eye. Like Nadya, he didn't seem convinced. "She's hiding something," he said. Nadya got that feeling too. It didn't seem that she was a very good actress.
Meanwhile, the security guard was getting a little impatient. He didn't look like he was ready to leave Saxon there alone though. "Did you say they were coming up the elevator?" he asked. "It really shouldn't take that long." He started towards the lifts at the end of the hallway, turning his back on Saxon to do so.

The Philodox says she's lying, so she's lying. Nadya clamps her hand over the woman's mouth and places the shiv against her cheek. "Here's the game, lie and I cut you. I might not be a doctor, but I know where to cut you so you don't die." In demonstration that she's quite serious, Nadya cuts into the woman's cheek. She doesn't press hard enough to go right through her cheek, but enough to leave a nice scar.
Nadya keeps her hand clamped down tightly until she stops screaming. "You still die if you scream for help." Finally, she gives her a chance to speak.

"Well, as I was coming up the stairs a load came in and she was dishing out forms. Could be a while before they all come up." Saxon tried the door, "Mind if I go on in and wait?" If it opened he would enter and call for the guard. If not he would tattle it and shout, "Hey come open this."

The woman screamed into Nadya's hand, but not much sound came out. She eyed the shiv fearfully.
"We're only testing a new drug," she said. "It's supposed to increase your mental and physical capacities. The side effects are... negligible."
Vasara glared at the woman with her one eye. "What else," he said. "Give me something, or she will cut you again, and go all the way through your cheek this time."
She eyed the shiv fearfully, and seemed to decide her job wasn't worth her life after all. "Ok, I know Bayer has come into some new funding recently," she said quickly. "They're developing a new project for a private investor. I'm not part of the team, but... if they're what you're looking for, the third floor is where their labs are. They sometimes bring in subjects that don't leave... A child once. We're not supposed to ask questions..."
Meanwhile, in the hallway: The guard stopped on his way to the elevator, looking a little uncertain at first. "Oh, alright," he said. "But don't touch anything. Dr Brock will hang me if we cause her test results to be off." He unlocked the door and stepped inside, letting Saxon follow him. He turned on the light, and revealed a large room with a number of cameras on the walls. They seem to be for observation purposes, however, because none of them were on yet. The room has a couple of computers and a large treadmill in the centre. Saxon also recognises a heart rate monitor and some other medical equipment near the treadmill.

Saxon smiled, "Looks like I am going to be doing some running." He walked in and wandered around. "What no magazines to read whilst you wait?" Then he smiled at the guard, "Any place around here to get a drink, I could murder a coffee."
Really he was just trying to keep the guard from investigating the lift not arriving and he figured this way would be less painful for the guard.

Nadya smiles and nods. "Good. You see? Answer the questions and I don't leave you scarred for life. Well, not any more scarred anyway." Nadya briefly glances down, checking her fingers for a wedding ring. A family to threaten always works better. Once she's checked, she starts on the next question. "So, tell me everything you know about that floor. People working up there, security, alarms, cameras, locks. Everything."

"I... don't know anything about that," she whimpered. "I only have access to my drug trials. I don't even have keys to the third floor. Dr Giese's team does." There is no ring on the woman's finger. She seems to be married to her job.
The security guard doesn't seem to mind sitting down and having a chat. He has a very boring job after all. "Yeah some speed and endurance tests," he says. "I've done the trial, it's nothing to worry about. After only a month on the meds you'll be running marathons."
He probably would have continued talking, but the radio he was carrying started crackling at that point. "Theo, you there?" said the voice on the other end. Theo the security guard unhooked the radio from his belt and held it up. "One moment," he said to Saxon. "Yeah, what do you need?" "Lift seems to be stuck on the fourth. Could you check if someone's left the door open?" "Will do," said Theo. Then, to Saxon: "Wait here, Dr Brock will probably be here soon."

"You know, if you were really scared for your life I think you would volunteer a lot more information. I don't think you're taking me seriously." Nadya grins, but it's not a pleasant sight. "Would you take me more seriously if I really hurt you? Maybe if I take a finger off? Now, tell me where to find Dr. Griese and that team. Keep holding back information and you wont have any fingers by the time we're done."

"The lift is stuck, see I knew the things where death traps but does anyone listen? No they say hey it is only a lift, forgetting it is really a steel box just going up and down on a steel rope."
Saxon shivered quite dramatically, "And now the dammed thing is stuck, so glad I decided to take the stairs. Hey hold on I will come and give you a hand, nought to do around here." Plus Saxon thought if the others where up to no good best he was at hand.

The woman whimpered and shook her head, but she seemed to have the presence of mind not to start bawling uncontrollable. It probably wouldn't have helped anyway. "Please, I'm telling you everything I know," she said. "His office is on the first floor. All the offices are. And his labs are on the third. Only his team has access to his labs, and some of the security guards on duty."
Vasara looked like he was getting impatient. The lift had been stuck long enough for people to notice. It had looked like a moderately busy place.
"I don't think she's understood," he said. "Maybe you should cut something off."
"No please," she cut in. "Alright, his office number is 1.04. He's here every day, sometimes late into the night. If he's not in his labs, he's definitely in his office. I really don't know what he's working on."
Meanwhile, Theo the guard was looking at Saxon uncertainly. Luckily, he didn't really like confrontation, which was probably a bad thing for a security guard. "Alright," he said. "Somebody's probably just jammed the door anyway. Come on, let's go before they start complaining. God forbid they should be made to use the stairs once in a while."
He walked outside and towards the elevators, leaving the door unlocked for now. Once he reached it, he noticed straight away that the door wasn't jammed. "That's strange," he said, and called the elevator.
Inside, Nadya and Vasara notice that the lift has suddenly started to move.

Nadya looks from the woman to Vasara and, seeing that he didn't show any sign of hearing lies, makes a decision.
"Whether Jan's here or not, something suspiscious is going on." The fact she doesn't really care and she's about to use it as an excuse... that's not the point. She grips the woman's mouth again tightly and her grip grows even tighter as she transforms into her Glabro form. She moves quickly now the elevator is on it's way, still holding the woman in one hand she rams the shiv into her stomach, chest and neck until she stops struggling.
(I'm assuming I can kill the good doctor without any realistic resistance from her?)

Distracted by the sudden motion of the elevator, Vasara isn't quite quick enough to notice Nadya's sudden homicidal actions. At least not before she's already disembowelled the doctor and dropped her corpse with a squelch. As Nadya turns to face the doors, however, he lands a sold punch across her face which he hopes will knock some good sense into her. "There will be no senseless murder on my watch," he snarls. The lecture is punctuated by the doors opening, however, and Vasara stops as soon as they come face to face with both Saxon and the guard standing in the hallway.
Ok, Initiative time: Vasara 9, Nadya 12, Saxon 13 Oh and Nadya takes two levels of bashing damage
Vasara wastes no time in leaning forward, grabbing the guard by one arm, and pulling him into the lift.

Normally, Nadya might of left the beration until they were alone. But the Rage being what it is... "Senseless? You fucking idiot, you think she wouldn't of gone to the police with our faces?" Nadya doesn't worry about the guard, or her dripping shiv for that matter.

Saxon sighed as he took in the scene inside the lift and heard Naz outburst. He gave the Guard a shove to help Vasara get the guard inside as he spoke.
"Oh the Police don’t need her statement, this entire place is on CCTV. They will have a nice video of her getting into the lift with you two and ending up dead. Won't take much in the IQ stakes to work out you did it, will it?"
