[IC - Mexico City] The Ruins of the Villa
You reach the ruins of the old villa about half an hour later. Gonchi parks about two hundred meters away and points to another building, blue and yellow, about fifty meters away from the the ruins. There is light coming out of the windows. "That's where most of Brooks's people live. The Nectar sellers at street level come here every morning to collect the stuff. Instead, we'll head for the ruins. We should dispose of any guard quietly", he says, showing you three long blades, more a machete than a simple knife. "Who is coming with me?"
Re: [IC - Mexico City] The Ruins of the Villa
"I'm not all that sneaky, or good with a blade," says Holly, "but I'm pretty good with a syringe." She takes one out and prepares a sedative. "It's not strong enough to knock out an elephant, but we're not dealing with elephants."

Cam growls as he picks up one of the long knives: "We'll know once we get there. Come on... and Ian, don't mess this up", he adds before exiting the car. Gonchi shrugs as he follows the ex-con outside.

Re: [IC - Mexico City] The Ruins of the Villa
You slide from shadow to shadow until you're close to the ruins. Everything's still and dark. You can feel a weird eeriness in the atmosphere, and the echoes of forgotten songs just beyond your conscious understanding, like a fluttering of insect wings too small and fragile to actually produce sound. You shake your heads, trying to clear your thoughts. Your imagination is clearly playing tricks on you.
In fact, there is no trace of threat or danger in the ruins. Just piles of old stones and wood. You think the structure was already a century old when it collapsed. After a few minutes of surveillance, you finally feel confident enough to walk in. As you suspected, there are no guards patrolling the area, no watchman, no trap of any kind. Finally, in the middle of the ruins, you discover a large wooden trapdoor, closed by an heavy iron lock. It doesn't look like it will be an easy task to open it, but it appears to be the only obstacle between you and the underground tunnel network.

"Can anyone pick a lock?" asks Holly. "Or failing that, does anyone have a crowbar?"

"Let me have a look, I might be able to get it open..." Christopher crouches near the trapdoor and inspects the lock. "Hmm, it doesn't look too complicated, I ought to be able to get this open ... some more light would help, unless that would attract attention?" he asks.

Ian starts to work on the lock, while the others take watch around. It takes a few minutes to open it, during which you expect armed thugs to jump on you at any moment. But everything is calm, and you feel half surprised and half relieved. Finally, the lock clicks and you can open the trapdoor. Below it, a ladder, with metallic rungs fixed on the wall. Your torchlights reveal that it goes down for about five meters before reaching what appears to be a corridor of some sort.
Re: [IC - Mexico City] The Ruins of the Villa
"We're going to need a marching order," says Holly. "That corridor is probably too narrow for us to go side by side. Whoever's in front will need to be able to handle trouble."

Christopher]/b] looks at the ladder and the shaft, it does indeed look rather cramped. "Are you sure where this leads? Have you been down there?" he asks Gonchi.

Gonchi shrugs: "I told you, they don't let anyone in. This is where they prepare their Nectar. It's their most precious place. That's why we've got to strike here", he says, but he doesn't look particularly eager of entering the trapdoor first.
Cam growls and starts climbing down. After a few seconds, you can hear him from below: "Come on, what are you waiting for?"

Re: [IC - Mexico City] The Ruins of the Villa
The corridor goes on for at least twenty meters, proceeding slightly downhill. The walls are dark, heavy and gray. Finally, you enter a larger area, some sort of foyer, again made entirely in stone. You estimate that this area is located about six or seven meters below surface level. On your right, you can see an open door, and a room containing electrical equipment and lots of cables. It also appears that this other room has been soundproofed. Right in front of you, another corridor leads out from the foyer in the opposite direction, probably leading back to the surface, inside the house you saw outside.
Re: [IC - Mexico City] The Ruins of the Villa
Holly draws her pistol now that they're entering dangerous territory and keeps an eye on the open door to the right.

Ian grabs the shotgun tighter than ever and follow the group into the large area. He hopes that their visit is really as unexpected as they imagine.

Re: [IC - Mexico City] The Ruins of the Villa
Entering the area, you can now see inside the room with electrical equipment. It appears like some sort of registration studio. There are two other doors inside the studio, closed, leading to two adjacent rooms, one on the left and one on the right. There is no sound coming from inside, but then again, you would not hear anything anyway, with all the soundproofing.
