- TV STUDIO PART 1
- ----------------
-
- Door lock:On the wall by the door is a small square box with a slit in one
- side. A small illuminated panel on the front informs you that the door is
- locked. It requests a key.
- :You sweep the card through the lock and the door opens...
-
- Worktop:There is a metal worktop fixed to the wall here. The brackets that
- hold it in place look rusty.
- :There are things on the worktop already.
-
- Doors:The entrance doors to the studio complex stand open. Obviously the
- body of the security guard has yet to be discovered.
- :The doors are controlled from the security guards booth outside.
-
- Table:From above you can see that the table is glass topped and has thin
- tubular metal legs.
- :You can't reach the table.
-
- Lift doors:The lift doors stand firmly shut and a small red LED flashes on
- the compact control panel to the right of the doors.
- :The lift doors are controlled from the panel on the right.
-
- Set:Positioned around the studio floor are three of these pieces of wooden
- framework. The back is a plain piece of unfinished wood but the side that
- the cameras see are an abstract pastel painting.
- :You can't reach it.
-
- Door:An automatic sliding door that opens when approached. The door is a
- dull metal and is totally unremarkable.

-
- Fusebox:The fusebox remains open from your work with the screwdriver.
- :You don't need to fix the fusebox.
-
- Fusebox:This small metal box holds a fuse and a switch for the light next to
- it. The front of the box has a small panel held on by screws.
- :You quickly undo the two screws holding on the front plate. When you finish
- the plate drops down.
-
- Desk:The reception desk is about waist height and is only about two feet
- wide. It is covered in a carpet-like material and has a wooden rail around
- its base.
- :You lean on the desk and peer over it. There isn't much to see,
-
- Monitor:The monitor is linked to a computer terminal. As far as you can make
- out the data on the screen shows programming schedules. In one corner of the
- screen is a window that shows the current programme being transmitted.
- :It has no use.
-
- Crate:This heavy looking metal crate is suspended from the winch using a
- large hook. The crate looks extremely heavy.
- :You give the crate a push and it sways very slightly. Whatever is inside
- must be very heavy.
-
- Light:On the wall is a flat illuminated white disc set into a circular metal
- frame. The light emits a soft white light.
- :The light has no visible switch, it's probably controlled automatically.
-
- Control box:The control box is very small and has a slot on one side. On the
- front of the box some lettering intructs you to enter your security pass in
- order to activate the lift.
- :That doesn't seem to work.
-
- Winch:Connected to the gantry here above the TV studio is a winch. The
- control box next to it allows the winch to be moved along the scaffolding.
- :Use the control box, not the winch.
-
- Winch control:The winch controls have soot around the edge of a small panel
- in the front. The lights on the top are all off.
- :The winch control must have blown a fuse. Nothing happens.
-

- flimsy metal bars but it easily holds your weight. Through the bars you can
- see the studio below.
- :You are already using it!
-
- Ladder:A metal ladder with widely spaced rungs leads up to a hole in the
- ceiling. The ladder is fixed securely to the wall.

- Ladder:Through a small alcove in the wall there comes a ladder that leads
- back down to a storeroom below.
- :You almost slip as you lower yourself down the ladder.

- leaves sway slowly in the light breeze from the air conditioning.

- lights is a sign which says "Transmission in progress. No Entry."
- :You can't use the lights.
-

- box somewhere else in the studio complex. Occasionally you see the camera
- adjust position.
- :You can't get to the camera from here.

- together with small plastic fasteners. The wires disappear into a mass of
- wires that snake across the floor.
- :You aren't here to sabotage the TV transmission.
-
- Seat:A brown plastic seat that's supposed to look something like natural
- wood. The seat seems very flimsy and too small to be really
- comfortable.

- cardboard boxes piled on top of it and its top surface looks well worn.
