"But I was going to get Cisco to build an angry Yamatobot for your birthday," Yamato says, a little plaintively. Shaking his head, he adds: "Don't worry, that should be the last one. All that's left is two dudes, you can deal with them easily."

He flicks his hands over the computer, quickly taking control of the security doors and elevator, when he spies something on his monitor.

"Power's going out in the control room. Looks like they're shutting everything down to make a run for it," he says. "If I lower the elevator, is it wide enough for you to run down? That'll give you back the element of surprise and some momentum as you deal with them."

The elevator in question is pretty wide, built not just for people but also for large amounts of cargo.
