Skyscrapers & ... Groundscrapers? (RP)

Ok so this floor is all "open-plan" with cubicles and therefore everything has fallen down by the dark, ground-side windows. No exceptions that Herman can see, before going down to root round in the pile of cubicle and office detritus? Or does he even need to climb out to make this determination (are there any blind spots the the elevator door vantage)? But if he needs to climb out to make this determination he will.

Also and this is a little late, but "Herman" has just had the thought, Hey, did we look for clues on the building directory in the lobby?

- Herman -

Did you look at the building directory? Did you notice anything particular about the names? Why does that detail come back to you this time?

Arthur eases out the door onto the 45° inclined "floor". The gecko gloves and blade feet are a little slippery on the commercial-grade office carpet. He's trying to move around the elevator box to see what's topside.

- Arthur -

You clamber round the outside of the elevator shaft to the 'top-side', where you can rest. The light from above is bright, making you squint. A helicopter passes overhead... no, not a helicopter or even a bird or a plane, but a butterfly.

Were it not for the glass and frame of the window giving you a clear sense of depth, you would swear it was right in your face, it is so large. Looking close you see it has the beautiful face and body of a person... a human person, since it is proving necessary to make that distinction today.

The butterfly-winged person sees you watching and seems to realise that you are also a person, or at least, human shaped? humanish? humanoid? they can not be sure, nevertheless they fly down to speak to you, but splat against the window —just like a bug. They don't seem to be familiar with 'glass' and look confused by this force-field keeping you apart. They say something that you can not hear through the double-glazed window and gesture for you to come out and join them before flitting away with a graceful backwards somersault.

What do you do?

Arthur considers a moment, then adds, "Should I break the window to get out there and see what it wants? I don't know if we'll understand its language, though."

Next floor, same as the last... not much to see from your vantage point in the elevator shaft. Same for the one above that.

The one above that one —they are not numbered, so it is becoming easy to lose track— is completely dark, top and bottom. The glass is broken and rocks and soil have encroached right up close to the elevator shaft, and are easily visible in your torch light.

You all hear the sound of fighting from below, in the caves.

What do you do?
