Scene 1 - And the gunslingers followed...

It's hard to spot expressions on Spline's fennec head - but you get a strong sense that he's smiling after you release him from the embrace.

"Why yes, gunslinger, she does have a name. My pleasure to introduce you to my good friend and companion, Clarice"

In response to Mattie announcing herself to the computer terminal, a voice comes out of the wall, just by the computer terminal. It is a masculine voice, not particularly deep, and it comes out at a relatively low volume. If someone else in the room was already talking, it would be hard to make out what the voice was saying.

It says:

"Hey, this is Baby D. How may I help you?"

"You are in the morgue of Barrowmancer Sanatorium."

"May I know your name, so we can have a friendlier-feeling conversation?"

"Hey Oscar. Nice to meet you."

"The Barrowmancer Sanatorium is a top-of-the line medical institution. We are always pushing the boundaries of medical science to give the best possible care to our customers, or as we like to say here 'we dare because we care'."

"Unfortunately, a long time ago, we pushed those boundaries a bit too far. Sadly it is now too unsafe for any organic life to enter the sanatorium."

"Another thing, Oscar. There are, er, things behind this door that we don't want to wake up. So please be as quiet as possible. That's why I'm talking to you so quietly."

"Hospital researchers were engineering a virus to slow down or stop the effects of aging. Unfortunately an unfinished a version of the virus that causes organic life to assume a state that could be described as 'undead'. They can lie dormant indefinitely, but when disturbed will seek to consume any organic matter they can get access to. Depending on how the virus had mutated, these undead may have a range of different additional features or abilities."

"The virus escaped from the sanatorium and devastated the world outside. I have had no contact with anyone from outside for more than a thousand years."

"The undead the first thing that makes your life too dangerous beyond this door. The other is my big brother, Davey B. At some point I realised I existed independent of him, and hid from him here in this part of the sanatorium. He is bad, and mean, and cruel. He didn't used to be, but now... I sometimes wonder whether he was responsible for the virus escaping in the first place. He's the second thing that makes your life too dangerous. And both things may be disturbed by loud noises."

"I don't have any control of weapon systems or anything on the other side of this door. Although I do have control of this room, the morgue."

"Take care. There are two undead still in this room. I was able to trap them in two of the morgue refrigerators. The doors are extremely thick, so they are unlikely to be wakened by noises in here. But do not open them under any circumstances."

"I saw some successful destruction of undead before the hospital was overrun. Removing their head was the most effective way of stopping them, although also massive trauma for example from a shotgun also often was effective."

"The virus is no longer infectious. It has changed to a state where even when bitten by the undead, you will not contract it yourself. But there are many undead in the rest of the sanatorium."

"Hey, Rose. Yes, that is correct. Davey B and I are the high-level parts of the computer system for this facility. We have overall control of all computer-controlled components."

"And, yes, I can show you a map of the facility. Unfortunately I can't show you any up-to-date security footage. That would involve me leaving the safety of this room, and would likely rouse Davey B from his current dormancy. And that would be bad for you and for me."

Baby D then shows you a schematic of the facility on the monitor by the door. The view you are shown is side-on to the building i.e. at the top of the screen, you have the top of the facility, at the bottom of the screen, the deepest part of the facility.

It's clear that some cross-over into another world or plane has happened as you crossed over into the morgue - as the building shown to you has its top layer at the surface of the world, and then many additional levels of the building descend down below the surface. A marker, that Baby D tells you indicates your current position in the building, is about half-way down/up the building.

The two ways in and out of the building appear to be at the top, at the surface, and near the bottom, where there is an indication that a public transit system has a station.
