Gaining the clearance to access Silph's restricted levels was much simpler than I expected it would be. As an Admin I have access to many resources that would otherwise be impossible to access.
There's an area of note that is blocked off, but does not seem to carry any form of access restriction save for a few security locks. There is nothing in there but a PC storage unit that looks as if it has been powered off for some time. It looks like no one has attempted to come down here in quite some time.
I am going to attempt to restore power to this unit, and see what is stored inside. It doesn't seem to be connected to any of Silph's other systems, so turning this on shouldn't cause any alarm.
And if it does, I have some plans for dealing with that.
