MegaZina as secret agent in Tower of London
Sewers - The Equipment
Before I start walking I begin to draw a map of the sewers so that I won't get lost.
My instructions are to find a security door.
I know approximately where my backpack is, I saw it on the model of the Tower, and it doesn't take long to find the security door. The question is how to open it.
There is a box on the door and I open it with one of my screwdrivers. Two wires are connected to two metal plates. When the current comes through they meet and the alarm sounds. I try to cut the wires with my wire-cutter, but I can't.
I follow the wires. They lead to a box on the left wall.
There I find two buttons, one green and the other red.
They are said to open and close the security door.
But it can't be that simple. If I press the button I'm sure the alarm will be activated.
Same if I try to cut the wires.
There must be another way.
I return to the box on the door and study the construction.
I must prevent the metal plates to meet, but I can't use a metal thing. The only thing I have that is not metal, is the chewing gum. I put a piece between the plates to keep them apart.
When I after that press the green button, the door opens and I can climb in.
After a few steps I find my backpack in a niche at the right side.
I am curious to see what there is further on, but I only find a warning sign, warning for fall.
Evidently it is the way out to the Thames.
As I don't want to go there, I turn around and make my way back to the security gate.
I am sure I have to spend a lot of time finding my way down here in the sewers so I have better start drawing a map.
In my backpack I find a key to the sewer doors.
Now I can
reach all parts of the sewers.
It takes me quite a while to walk around and draw my map but I think it's worth it.
I can now decide exactly how to go and don't have to wander at haphazard.
To the right you can see my map.
When I was walking about I found a couple of locked boxes that I couldn't open and
a brick wall that differs from the other walls.
Perhaps it hides something interesting, but that has to wait for the time being.
I also found a grate leading to a small courtyard.
There are some buildings that I think are important to visit, but from the sewers I can only reach Old Hospital Block and Deveraux Tower.
When I look at my sewer map I see that Old Hospital Block is the nearest one, so I'll start with that one.
Helped by my sewer map I find my way to the exit. After climbing the steps, I find myself in a small room with a flight of stairs and a door without fire alarm. It doesn' look dangerous so I dare open it and enter.
I look at my GPS to decide my position and now I can rightly place Old Hospital block on my map showing the Tower grounds.
