You don't want to be caught lingering inside of the institute. If they're anything like Pisarski, most of the staff here are decent people, so you want to avoid getting any of them tangled up in your plot. You make your way back to the entrance, only stopping along the way at a fire safety point. There's a couple of extinguishers mounted on the wall along with a fire blanket and signs that instruct the user on how to use this equipment. You're most interested in the evacuation plan, which is a map kept inside of a plastic sleeve, complete with a route from your current location to the designated assembly area.
As no one else is in the corridor right now, you don't see any problem with taking the map out of its protective plastic and stuffing it in your pocket. Unfortunately all of the rooms are numbered rather than named, so your task isn't as simple as finding the area that is labelled 'evil cult shenanigans.' It'll still come in handy though.
Your heart skips a beat when a receptionist stops you on the way out, but thankfully it's only to talk to you about your proof of identity. She brusquely reminds you that you won't be able to register for a program unless you bring it along, so she advises you to come back with it as soon as possible. You just give her a sheepish smile and say that you'll come back with it when you can find it before you're out of the door and back beneath the open sky. Not only have you found out some information about the institute, but you also got someone to quit his soul-destroying job and make a better life for himself.
That went pretty goddamn well.

"You did good in there," you tell Ella as you search for the others. She just gives you a quiet 'thank you' and a small smile. You're not quite sure what you think about her penchant for forgiveness and redemption, but it's not your place to comment on her beliefs.
>Ella gains 1 Will. Her Will is currently 10/10.
You find the rest of your pack lingering on the outskirts of the employee parking lot. Alex is pretty surprised that you got out so quickly, not even an hour after you first set foot in the hospital. You let them know what you got up to while you were inside and that although you didn't manage to get a close look at the facility, you did manage to learn a lot from the doctor.
"I guess we can work with that," Alex remarks as the five of you wander away from the institute. You don't want your plans to be overheard by anyone who works there. "Anyway, we spied a few ways into the south wing that are for employees only. There's also this ramp that leads down to parking in the basement. We couldn't get a close look because it's hidden behind garage doors, but we did see a truck belonging to Hampton & Holt drive down there ten minutes ago." There's a name that you haven't heard in a while.
