Broley and co. follow the guards down a long, spiraling hallway. Open doors reveal tattooed men and women training, reading, injecting themselves, and doing many other things. One door reads "R&D" and is locked. Smoke fogs the small door window. Eventually the hallway stops. On the left is a door that says, "Office". On the right is a set of double doors that say "Gym".
