The panel he'd been poking at slid back, revealing an empty chamber. A low whine came out of the chamber, as if from a far distance away. Clattering clunking echoed out of the opening.
Collette blinked at all of it, then yelped as something shot out of the opening to smack against the far wall. Wine carried it's own particular scent, filling the air with an acidic tang, but she wasn't inclined to stick around and figure out why something had come flying out of that opening.
"We've gotta book it!" she said instead, which was something of a hilarity since her coordination didn't handle running so well.
Which meant Collette managed a jog away from the scene of the crime against wine-manity, small worker robots coming out of lower entrances and whirring their way along to the accident site.
She pushed through the first door she saw to the left, stumbling into a naturally lit stairwell leading up to a parking lot. There was no handle on the outside of the door. Once it shut, she was firmly locked outside.
