The door opens onto an expanse of asphalt, steel, and glass. Nearby a sign reads:
WELCOME TO WHITE FLINT MALL
BEST PRICES IN THE DC AREA
4708 BETHESDA AVENUE
CHEVY CHASE, MD
It's a big parking lot, with the mall itself only visible off in the distance. Ray gives it the squint-eye before turning to the others. "Okay, people," he says. "This is it. Johnny says it's underground. Egon's best estimates indicate three miles down. Are we good?"

Perhaps another change of costume is in order...

Second-level Tech Peirson knew something was up. He didn't know what and he hadn't asked. Mainly because, in Foliage Census, asking snoopy questions about what's going on outside your department isn't exactly good for your career...or your continued freedom.
But something was up and he was getting a sneaking suspicion that it was major. Having cartoon characters show up at your coffee break to critique the brew will do that to you.
The sound of running footsteps outside his office drew his attention to the door. He managed to catch a glimpse of a red-headed man running hell-bent-for-leather.
RUMBLE-RUMBLE-RUMBLE
You see weird things in FC...but a Sherman Tank with an overgrown fox riding in the turret dressed as General Patton certainly takes the cake.

In fact, he looked like he was in his rightful place fighting right alongside Patton and his tank.
Weeeird.

He rips open the first maintenance door he comes to and charges down the empty spaces towards the closet he knows is waiting for him.

He beeped it off.
Then he beeped it back on again.
"Hey, how come we didn't get Starfleet comm badges? That would've made this even cooler."
