You hear a voice greeting you, and turn to see a lab tech waving at you- their namecard reads "Eel, lab reception, employee of the month."
Eel???You don't mention how odd their name is, and just nod.
You don't really know what you're here for, so you just nod. They seem nice, anyways.
You don't have much of a choice, do you? You follow this "Eel" person around various corners, passing doors and halls and windows- you're deep in this complex by now.
Or, of course, you could always head back.
