You wake up in what appears to be a jail cell. Concrete on three sides, metal bars on the fourth. The cell across from yours is empty.
Your memory is somewhat unclear. One thing you're definitely unsure of is how you got here. Another is how you're going to get out.
Alarms are going off, but you don't see anyone outside running past or anything. In fact, aside from the alarm, the building is silent.

For a moment, the girl mistakes the alarm for an alarm clock as she comes to.
"Arright arright already, I'm...up?"
She takes a moment to look around once she realizes she's not in a familiar place, and then frowns.
"Well hell...how'd I..." she trails off, frowns, and gets to her feet wobbily.
Thinking, or rather, trying to think to herself, she's sure that there's something wrong, but the alarm and the pounding headache she has ensures she's not able to pinpoint what. In frustration, she grabs the bars and rattles them.
"HEY! Don't I get a lawyer or something!? Lemme outta here!"

Your voice echos through the hallway. It appears that the guards, assuming there are some, are busy elsewhere.

"Well dammit..." She mutters to herself, and takes stock of the room another time, vainly searching for some sort of exit or something of use in escaping.
[A big giant +1 for my Search modifier]

It appears to be a fairly typical cell. Bed, toilet, neither in good shape, nothing else in the room. Even a detailed search reveals no easy exits.

"Least they could do is turn the damn alarm off..." she grumbles as she slumps down to the floor to try and think again. It's then that she notices the strands of hair hanging down in her face and she blinks.
"I musta been in here for a while, then..." she says warily, then takes a look down at herself to see the condition of her clothing, blinks a few more times in disbelief, and then proceeds to crack up, laughing hysterically for a few moments before she faints.
When she comes to a moment later (after hitting her head on the floor), she frowns and thinks to herself, and then gets to her feet.
"Well, I guess it's worth a shot. Lemme see..." She tries to crane her neck around the corner to look at the walls, trying to see if there's any identifying features of the cell block other then it being a cell block.

You can't seem to get your head between the bars; they're too close together. As you try, however, you feel something occuring within you that you've never felt. There's a sudden flash of light.
As the light fades, you find yourself outside the cell.

As she blinks to clear her vision, she notices she's on the other side of the bars and she raises an eyebrow, curiously, as she attempts to come up with some sort of explanation for that.
"Well...I...guess so..." is all she can surmise after a few moments of consideration in her head, at which point she takes a moment to calm herself, and then start down the hallway, attempting to make a go of being sneaky as she searches for a door, as well as any indication of where she might be.
[+10 to Hide, and +10 to Move Silently, just a d20 for any spot roll that may come up.]

You make your way to the end of the hallway. It branches off in two directions.
Peering down in each direction, you see that the cells are a little less... conventional. Instead of simple bars, some are protected by glowing fields. Some of them are occupied. The occupants vary in appearance... some human, some.. less human.
Each hallway, to the left and right, go down a couple hundred feet then turn, left and right respectively, continuing in the direction you came from.

She frowns heavily at this and swears under her breath. "What am I then...some sort of experiment...?" she thinks to herself. "...but for who?" She considers this for a moment, but still is fairly unable to come up with any answers. "This isn't Quadrel's modus operendi...then..." she freezes as it dawns on her. She takes a quick glance down the hallways again, and then chooses one at random, the left, to look for a cell occupant who looks conscious who she can get some answers from.

You find three occupied cells. Two are locked with force fields, one with bars. One of the ones in force field is unconscious.
The one in the bars looks human... a buff male in his mid-20's. Scraggly brown hair, ragged clothing... he looks pretty mean.
The conscious one behind a force-field has green, scaled skin, and lizard-like eyes. He is sitting cross-legged.
The unconscious one looks more like an animal... big and furry, black, only one eye, big mouth, sharp teeth.
Both conscious ones seem to pay attention to you, but neither addresses you immediately as you're just walking by.

"Great..." she mutters to herself. "...real cream of the crop." After a moment's hesitation, she approaches the big mean looking human, unsure of if the lizardy-looking one would understand her.
"Hey you, do me a favor." She says (it's more of a demand). "Tell me where the hell we are."

She frowns at the appelation, but stifles whatever comment that was riding on the tip of her tongue while she thinks of a new one.
"Tell me what I want to know and play nice and whatsay I let you outta your cage?" She posits as she crosses her arms and purses her lips, attempting to look tough and likely failing utterly.

The man looks around. For a moment, he looks ready to call her bluff... wondering how she'll get him out... but then he shrugs, deciding he doesn't really have anything to lose.
"We're in Femer Labs... more importantly, the basement of the place. Apparently, it's where they stick people... or things.... too dangerous to be stuck in a real prison."
