The dim glow of the museum's emergency lights casts long shadows across the storage room. Dust motes dance in the beam as a persistent thumping echoes from within a large wooden crate. Larry Daley, night guard, stands before it, a crinkled note from Dr. McPhee still warm in his pocket. "Passion project," it read. He runs a hand through his hair, then steps forward, fingers working the latches. "Alright, well, let's you out." He takes a cautious step back, watching you's crate intently.
