This was a test. It was only a test. If it had been a real possible-escape situation, the wrench on the nautical map would not have been made out of foam rubber.

Fraught. I should definitely be putting that into a sentence about now, but again with the sleep deprivation. Still, fraught. Oh, and Phwooaargh.
