Information Technology's Secret Weapon (with paperclip)

You find yourself in what appears to be the control room for the building maintenance crew. There are a few computers and a few pipes, but most everything is locked down pretty tight, behind grates or bars or metal cages. You could break through eventually, but not without triggering a lot of alarms and calling the entire building down on you at once. Trapped in a dead-end corridor, that would be complete suicide.

Oh, but wait! What's this? One of the computers is close enough to a grating that you can get to its CD drive. The eject button is deactivated (good security, that), but you've got a secret weapon! You whip out a combat paperclip, straighten out the first bend, and poke it through the little hole in front. The tray ejects like the good little device it is.

It doesn't take very long for you to create a little autorun script and burn it to disc. When you pop it into the drive, it runs right away. (IT loses a security point for that oversight!) Soon you've got the computer talking to the infrared signal on your watch, and soon after that you've convinced it to reactivate all the building elevators. Go you!

You gain 200 XP.
