Swamped

All you see in that direction is a wall. There isn't even a nearby door. And if they want you going outside... well, that might be risky for everyone else around here.

Hold on, though. There's a door a ways down, and the adjacent wall has the latrines... It would be a little odd if the walls here led directly outside. A hidden room? Or does that door extend into a hallway or something?

You could investigate, but you still haven't secured the latrines. And whatever's going on with the beetles, you don't want to delay that too long. Not with a potential attack coming.

Well, you're the best equipped for it, you suppose. You put your mask on, since nobody else is around to ask questions about it, and then you head into the latrine closest to the wall.

There aren't that many beetles in here, though a few are scurrying around. If that is an attack attempt, they're not coming up from this particular hole.

You actually see a thick board lying around that seems to be just about the right size to cover up the latrine. Maybe the doctor just doesn't deal with these himself and didn't know about it. You lift it up and move it.

And then you spot something odd under it.
