As Salamu Alaykum Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakatuh World!
Day 60 was very stimulating indeed, not because of the 5 hours’ worth of lectures on software engineering and programming but, because of what happened during the breaks. There’s a tradition that you don’t graduate until you find floor -5. Sounds pretty straightforward right? Well, the elevator only goes to floor -4 so you have to conjure up a bit of ingenuity to locate the floor below.
Logically, trying every set of stairs from -4 would eventually lead to the mysterious -5 but, there’s more than one way to get there. In fact, I didn’t use any stairs from floor -4 at all. I, and a group of friends, were just going for a stroll during the hourly 10-minute break of the software engineering lecture which was on -2 and we stumbled upon a peculiar set of stairs.
Naturally, curiosity led us to explore said steps which led to a floor which initially was completely dark. As we ventured through the clandestine floor, the lights started to turn on. It wasn’t long before we realised that this was in fact the elusive floor -5.
There was no one there to be seen and all the doors required no ID card scans which was weird. Eventually, after wandering pretty aimlessly for a while, we discovered the water and electricity system. It was obvious this floor was only for caretakers but that didn’t stop us from investigating further.
The electricity system was well hidden behind a set of doors with clear warnings. The water system was a different kettle of fish altogether (pun not intended). There was a massive pipe which led to a series of pipes in the floor below, floor -6. You could even hear the water gushing in the floor below since there was small area on the floor of -5 that was made out of a steel cage so you could see the pipes below.
Anyway, that didn’t hold our interest for too long since we had bigger things to explore. And after a while, we finally found the entrance to floor -6. I say entrance because instead of a traditional set of stairs, there was a square shaped whole in the ground. None of us dared to venture there since it had no lighting whatsoever and was surrounded by pipes.
However, InShaAllah next week I intend to go to that floor and uncover further mysteries. Well, this post was a different from the norm but that’s it for today.
Hope this helps!
