She found it, however...

Before Iris could speak further, both of them heard Hawk speak up in their ears.

"Um, ladies? I'm in the server room, but I can't unlock the access terminal. It wants two physical keys. I can't get Iris into the server unless we find those first."

"Damn, I should have expected physical security measures. They're not total amateurs.", replied Iris. "Let me see if I can dig up where you can find those keys."

Iris went quiet, and Valerie used this time to peek outside into the corridor. She spotted the same old man talking to a couple of scientists, seemingly upset about something. She quickly ducked back inside when the three of them left, headed directly in her direction. Luckily, they walked past the door, although she did hear some worrying mumbling about "a strange woman" trying to break into the archives.

"Aha!", Iris exclaimed. "I found the first key, and we're in luck - it's inside the archives. Valerie, I'm sending you the coordinates."

Valerie nodded, and left her hiding place after checking the coast was clear. Using a maintenance elevator, she managed to get to the entry point without being spotted - but to her dismay, her badge didn't open the door once again.

"This door is locked too. Iris, what have you got for me?", Valerie said.

"Let me see...", Iris began. Valerie heard frantic clicking of keyboard keys in her ear, broken by the occasional swear word. After a while, it was clear her handler wasn't making any headway in her search - and so, Valerie decided to take matters into her own hand.

"Iris", she began in a private channel so Hawk couldn't listen in. "The maintenance crew must have a locker room or something like that. Can you find its location for me?"

"Okay", Iris responded cautiously. She relayed the location of the room to the agent. "What are you planning, Valerie?", she asked.

"Don't worry about it.", Valerie replied slyly. "Oh, and I'll need you to disable the cameras in Wing C..."
