Epsilon

The trek across the connecting tunnel was longer than one would expect. Unlike the smaller tunnels between buildings of the same section the city, this longe tunnel connecting Ryan's Retreat(and the buildings surrounding it) to Pauper's Drop stretched a good ten times longer than that. Along the way there were various hubs that divided the pathway into sections. The first one they ran into had sealed it's self as soon as Ryan's Retreat did. It took Epsilon longer to get this door open than it did the other.

Unlike previous door, in which he just smashed open, he had to use finesse. Compromising the time even further was that he could not directly control the door the way he could a security drone, turret, or any other various machines that occupied the city. With its simple mechanical lock and opening mechanism Epsilon had to go around it in a different way.

Hijacking a camera on the other side, he could sense the device, he was able to see the control panel and emergency override switch. With the camera in his control he could call security drones to his will, and with that fooled the machines into thinking the switch and panel was an intruder. Bullets holes riddled through it, the door slammed open. Continuing onward, Epsilon sealed the door way by pulling the two massive bulk heads down and back into place against each other. Jamming a large pipe in the doors gears kept it from opening again. With the door sealed, Pauper's Drop would not lock down, making his path easier.
