[Ah yes, it is that chipper British voice again. This time, however, he sounds a little hush-hush, like he's got a Very Important Secret. The video feed is a survey of the library as seen by something on the ceiling, and the camera is moving quickly, the lines of shelves almost a blur.]
So! Got a question for--for all of you, maybe someone will know what I'm talking about. The bunkers, yeah?
[What bunkers, Wheatley?]
The ones underneath the--underneath the school, it's all right if you don't know about them, I wouldn't imagine everyone does, but, ah. Now everyone does! There are bunkers underneath the school, if you--if you missed the memo. Lots of hallways. Corridors, as it were.
[At that, his voice lowers, an obvious attempt to sound incredibly serious.]
I am--I am in need of someone to. Take me. Down there. Into the bunkers. Got to check a few things out, find some things, you understand. So, yes, in need of someone, preferably with arms and legs, who will escort me there, help me have a look about and, finally, bring me back. Up here. To the school. Where you will not ask questions. Actually, just--the ideal candidate won't ask questions for...the entire duration of our little field trip.
So those are--those are the terms.
[Cough.]
I can pay you handsomely in...uh, catalog cards. We've got--we've got lots of those. Here, in the library. Catalog cards. Call numbers. Dewey...decimals... | |
