'You will discover all the answers that you seek in the rooms above it. But tread carefully, doctor. The building is condemned and the floor is lousy. You have a long lifeline. You see it here? But it has weaknesses. These creases... They are like arrows being fired towards you and there are still many more to come. You should beware lest one of them should hit...'
