Turning from the door, I found myself in a large kitchen, like what I imagined a busy restaurant would have. Stainless steel everything, including plenty of counter space in the middle. Other than the steady plink of water on metal from the walls and ceiling, it was relatively quiet in here, the rush of water somewhat less, I supposed because it was all contained within four walls and had nowhere to go but up. Not a good room to stay in for long.

Another door on the opposite wall ...
