Minuette slouches in her chair and moans out of boredom. Over the past five minutes, she's been told by the door guard, the elevator guard, and the receptionist to stay seated. She moans again, catching the attention of the receptionist stallion, who raises an eyebrow.

"Do you require anything, Equissian?" He asks.

"I'd rather you not call me that. My name is Minuette."

The receptionist rolls his eyes. "Do you require anything, Minuette?" He says sarcastically.

"There IS something I need."

"What?"

She smiles sheepishly. "Where's the bathroom?"

Rolling his eyes again, the receptionist calls over the elevator guard. "Escort the Equissian to the lavatory." The guard nods, and starts down a nearby hallway, motioning for Minuette to follow. He leads her to the third door on the left and takes position next to it. Minuette nods to him and walks in. 

Once inside, she immediately begins searching for an air duct to climb out through, and is dismayed to find that the only duct is too small. She then resorts to plan B, and uses her magic to pull a sink off of the wall. She opens the door and immediately hits the guard over the head with it, knocking him unconscious. She sets the sink down gently, and sneaks her way down the hall and the lobby to the now unguarded elevator. The receptionist glances up to catch sight of Minuette attempting to escape. 

"Hey!" He yells, catching the door guard's attention. "Stop her!"

The guard starts toward the elevator, prompting Minuette to start rapidly pressing buttons on the elevator panel. The doors finally close as the guard reaches the elevator. Minuette checks to see where she's going.

"Whoops. Wrong floor. Don't want to go to the top floor." She says as the elevator stops on the Doctor's floor. When the door opens, she catches sight of the Doctor and a mare walk out into the hallway, deep in discussion. The elevator dings, catching the attention of the two ponies in the hallway. Minuette cringes at the sound and begins rapidly pressing buttons on the elevator panel. Just as the doors close, she makes eye contact with the Doctor, prompting a nervous smile to appear on her face.

"Whew. That was close." Checking the panel, she sees that she's going to floor 78. "Oooh. I wonder what's there." The elevator opens up, and Minuette is greeted by a sign that reads, "Weapons Testing".

"Time to have some fun."
