Rosewater

[The Truth]

(Joshua): "Then....who?"

(Sally): *Notices something in the rubble* *Quickly shoves it in her pocket*

[Magical Girl Mimi]

-==IC: Tomas==-

Tomas ignored Joshua's question again, and walked over to Sally.
"You, you just picked something up, what did you pick up?" Tomas asked as he narrowed his eyes at the girl.

OOC: Tomas is so suspicious of Sally right now; even though she might not be the right person. xD but given that's all the evidence he really has IC... =P

[Flipz]

-==IC: Nancy Drew==-
Nancy noticed Sally pocket something, and made a mental note to ask about it later.  She read Tomas' reply, and responded:

Yes, they can be...a man named Dwayne Powers taught me that the hard way.  Still, even the best disguise has its weak point...and if we can find it...

-==IC: Frank and Joe Hardy==-
Frank pulled a flashlight from his pocket and shined it into the room.  Joe looked down the hall for any triggers for the "right" entrance to the passageway; statues, paintings, anything out of the ordinary.

[The Truth]

*Sally hands him a small empty photo frame*

~~~
One of the tiles on the wall stuck out a bit.

[Magical Girl Mimi]

-==IC: Tomas==-

Tomas looked at the item, and examined it, looking for anything hidden, all the while memorizing the object for further reference.

[The Truth]

There was an engraving on the frame: For my daughter, Veronica.

[Magical Girl Mimi]

-==IC: Tomas==-

"Hmm?" Tomas asked, and frowned.
"Where was this?" Tomas asked Sally, as he held up the frame.

[The Truth]

"It...it was on the floor."

[Magical Girl Mimi]

-==IC: Tomas==-

"Where on the floor?" Tomas asked with a sigh.

[Flipz]

-==IC: Joe==-
Joe cautiously pushed the tile into the wall, marking its location (and the new entrance to the chamber) on his map.

-==IC: Nancy, Ned, and Frank==-
Nancy closes the laptop.  "Mind if I borrow this until I can get one of my own?"
"Uh, about that..." Ned opens his backpack, revealing Nancy's own laptop.  "I figured, if I couldn't get you out directly, I could at least give you a way to call for help."
Nancy smiled and gave Ned a quick kiss, then handed Hank back his laptop.  She then walked over to Joshua.  "Think you can program this to access school email without having to install anything on it?"

Meanwhile, Frank took a cautious step into the passageway.

[The Truth]

(Joshua): "No. The Rosewater internet cuts off anything that doesn't have the Rosewater firewall, and I haven't found a way to trick it into thinking that the firewall is installed."

OOC: It's a small room, not a passageway.

[Magical Girl Mimi]

-==IC: Tomas==-

"What about spoofing the protocol codes?" Tomas asked, as he also looked around, though still wanted Sally's answer.

[The Truth]

(Joshua): *frustrated with himself*: "I can't find the codes!"

(Sally): "Right where I landed."

[Magical Girl Mimi]

-==IC: Tomas==-

Tomas raised an eyebrow at that.
"How very interesting." Tomas said, and looked at Joshua.
"Hmm... Have you tried disassembling the firewall itself?"

[Flipz]

-==IC: Nancy==-
"Hmm...the firewall doesn't do anything else besides blocking websites, right?"

-==IC: Frank==-
Frank takes another step into the room.

-==IC: Joe==-
Joe waits to see if pushing in the tile did anything...

[The Truth]

(Joshua): "If I knew where the main computer is, I could try that."

[Magical Girl Mimi]

-==IC: Tomas==-

"The program doesn't have the Firewall code?" Tomas asked, wondering about that.

[The Truth]

"No..it just redirects traffic THROUGH the firewall. It's a hardware firewall."

[Magical Girl Mimi]

-==IC: Tomas==-

Tomas raised an eyebrow.
"Huh. Well that's interesting. You can't spoof a command to the main computer to make it do something silly to alert us to it's location, can you?"

[The Truth]

"Sure I can, but it would only tell us that it's in the school. Not where in the school it is."
