Day 25: Intercom, Evening

The intercom clicked on with its usual jingle, the Head Doctor's voice carrying with a bit more authoritative ease than it had earlier.

"Good evening, patients, and I'm pleased to announce that we've finally finished organizing when our new batch of patients will be introduced, and unfortunately, it'll have to be tonight while you're all in bed. Truly sad, that, as I'm sure all of you are eager to see our new faces as soon as possible!

"In any case, the dinner that will be brought to you tonight will be herb-marinated pork roast with buttery corn-on-the-cob and fluffy mashed potatoes. Of course, we have our usual vegetarian salad available to those who request it, along with our regular assortment of drinks."

He paused and sighed. After all, it had been a long day.

"Oh, of course--Some of you may be unhappy to hear that Dr. Crane and Dr. Jiyani will no longer be serving us here at Landel's Institute. For those of you who were scheduled to have sessions with them, we'll be providing a substitute group therapy session in upcoming days. More details on that tomorrow.

"I believe that's all for now. Enjoy your dinner!"

The intercom clicked off.

"Good evening." Recluse set aside his notebook and went to one of the hiding spots on his side of the cell. He shut off the radio, which had been silently running current through a glass full of water and iron filings, and scraped an orange substance off the screws he was using as leads. This was rust acid that was going to be used for making thermite. There was already quite a lot of it at the bottom of the glass, but only enough for a small batch of thermite. He added more rust filings to the water, replaced the leads and turned the current back on again. He'd need to let it sit for at least another night to get enough for his uses.

And then on to other weapons... Recluse took out the hammer he had procured last night, along with a length of the angle iron he had taken from his bed frame. He had several blades to make tonight.
