Bubblehead Jane moves towards the others since it looked like they found something. And they had - a door! Or airlock more likely. Though that was really just a fancy word for door ...
Luckily she felt that she had a decent grasp of how doors worked. Sure, most of her experience were with the normal above-surface ones, but how different could it be?
Flailing wildly Jane approaches the door and tries the tools in her bag of tricks to see if the door won't be helpful and just open.

Jane flails wildly at the airlock's door to no avail. For a brief moment when flailing randomly and trying to pick the lock on a door that is sealed electronically, she feels a peculiar warm spot on the door. It's just for an instant though, and it's not certain where on the door it was.

So that didn't work. Hmm. But there was something clearly weird. Why was there a warm spot? Was something actually up and running and running hot at that.
She slowed her flailing and carefully patted the door. If she could find the spot again she'd keep one hand on it and use the other to gesture at the others. 'Hey isn't this odd?'

Floyd gestures for the group to surface, realising tht Jane woill probably run out of breath soon. Once they do so he speaks.
"What did you find?"

Jane follows Floyd up to the surface. She releases Nie from her contraption for now to let the Whimsicott dry a bit and simply enjoy the view.
"Hmm. There were just one hot spot on the door. I'm not sure why - but if it is abandoned why are someone bothering to route electricity to the place? Or something else that's hot."
"Anyone if you bought a phasing ghost? That could have been helpful right now!"

Floyd frowns and thinks for a moment.
"I did not, but my Magnezone, Telum, could try opening the door. I think powerful magnetism can disrupt electronic locks."
He suggests.

"Hmm. Trying can't hurt can it?"

Kaeda rises to the surface with the others, and listens to Jane's discoveries. She unfortunately didn't have any of her ghosts, but she did bring some of her stronger pokemon. Although, they couldn't help with the door thanks to all the water and stuff. "Hm. That Magnezone idea could just work. Let's go see." After waiting a bit, and her her re-breather charging back up, Mantine takes Kaeda back down to the underwater structure.

Floyd releases Telum and explains the idea before following his partner down into the depths, watching as the living magnet sets to work.

It takes several minutes for Telum to make the attempt, but at long last, the pressurized door is forced open. Downside is, now Telum will have to do the same to the inner door, risking flooding of the complex, as the inner door will not open while the outer door is.

Floyd gestures for Telum and Calyx to keep watch down here before resurfacing.
"The outer door is open. But because of the inner door we can either flood the place as we explore or figure out how to reseal the outer door before going inside. Unfortunately Calyx is too big to freeze the door whilst we're inside the airlock, so I'm hoping you guys have a better idea."
He says.

KAeda also resurfaces, and thinks for a moment. "Is it possible both Telum, and Ariadne (Metagross), could work together to seal the first door behind us?"

"Not without crushing us. But since we don't really care about the structural integrity of this facility I'll get Calyx to seal the inner door once we're through. The flooding should be confined to only about ankle height if we do it right."
He says, diving down to retrieve his pokemon, explaining his plan before recalling Calyx.

Kaeda likes the plan, and she joins Floyd down there. Some telepathic messages explaining the plan to Jane as well. She gets into position nearby the door. She is ready to release pokes to help close the door. She has 3 pokemon with powerful psychic powers, and one of those has magnetic powers as well. She's ready to go in quickly with her Mantine.

With the plan set, and everyone ready to go, the three trainers ready themselves to rush into the building. Just as soon as Telum forces the inner door open, they move, with Floyd recalling the Magnezone on the way and Kaeda releasing some Pokemon to help keep the water at bay while they get the inner door sealed off again. Once everyone is inside, Kaeda recalls her Pokemon one by one as Floyd sends out Calyx to freeze the inner door shut. When the group wishes to leave, they merely need bust it open again if they don't find some alternative exit further in.
Now able to check out their surroundings, the group finds themselves in a previously pristine hallway covered in white laminate tiles. There appear to be no side passages from here, so the only way to go is forward.

Once inside Jane pulls out her (waterproof) flashlight and loos around. "Well, it doesn't look like there's many options... Let's space ourselves a little bit though - just in case there's traps or unstable bits."

Floyd follows suit with his own torch, stepping forwards to take the lead.
"I'll go first. I'm more durable than you two." He says as he walks.

With Floyd taking the lead, the group heads further into the facility. After a few minutes, they come upon a door. Beyond this door is... a reception desk. There is a man behind the desk, who glances up only briefly as the trio enter. One would think he'd be surprised at the sudden appearance of three strangers in what is clearly supposed to be a 'secret' building, yet he is not. He seems completely unsurprised, in fact.

Kaeda pokes her head out from behind Floyd, and glares at the receptionist. "Tell us where our friend is. Now."

The man looks up from his keyboard. "I'm afraid you'll have to be more specific than that, Miss Starwood." He says as he resumes typing away. "A name would be an excellent start."
