>What are these?
DANIEL: "Anyway, where did you see these symbols?"
CLARA: "I think... Bonnie, remember when we were in that spooky place with the pillars and... Architect, that was his name. One of the creepy tall people."
BONNIE: "Right."
CLARA: "I was floating somewhere for a bit - and it was like I was nowhere, I think, but then... I was talking to something and it asked me to pick a number? Wait, maybe these are numbers!"
>They're numbers?
CLARA: "Yeah! One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine and... I didn't see that one. Zero?"
DANIEL: "Ten? It's after nine."
BONNIE: "Maybe it's what you press to enter the number."
OMAR: "I don't see any, like... any fingermarks on it, like someone's typed in a code a bunch of times."
CLARA: "Huh. Didn't think of that."
>3469
OMAR: "Why these numbers in particular?"
DANIEL: "Call it a hunch, I guess."
Nothing happens.
DANIEL: "Darn, that'd have been cool if I'd just known the code."
BONNIE?: "I mean, how many combinations could there be, anyway?"
???: "There are ten thousand 4-tuples of the numbers zero to nine."
There's a brief moment while that information sinks in.
DANIEL: "Do any of you know what a 'tuple' is?"
BONNIE: "Nope. But if there's ten thousand possible codes, I don't think we'll be able to simply guess it."
DANIEL: "No, I think it's weird that the word 'tuple' just came up randomly. What's even happening?"
???: "It must be connected to your lost memories."
Daniel has a think about it, and seems to calm down.
DANIEL: "I think I must have heard it sometime before I lost my memories. Yeah, that sounds right."
BONNIE?: "Fair enough, I guess."
>Are there footprints? Signs that Sam and Ash have been this way?
BONNIE: "What'cha looking at?"
OMAR: "I'm looking for footprints. Disturbances in the dust. Signs that Sam and Ash have been this way."
BONNIE: "Huh. Anything interesting?"
OMAR: "Not really?"
BONNIE: "Alright. Carry on, I guess."
>Is the door locked?
BONNIE: "Wait a second. Have you actually not tried to open this yet, to check if it's locked?"
DANIEL: "And is it?"
BONNIE: "... No, but I'd have been really mad."
???: "Try the window."
BONNIE?: "Okay!"
And then, from around the corner, you hear the sound of breaking glass.
DANIEL: "Anyway, where did you see these symbols?"
