->You could obsess over [[BigLabyrinthineBuilding this building]], grow frantic to unveil its mysteries and plumb its inviting depths. If you were that sort of person, you could start to feel that this building ''[[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything wants it bad]],'' that it ''deserves'' to be the subject of military action, an espionage-driven commando raid, just to ''teach it to behave.''
->A few months ago, three highly motivated gentlemen assailed Project Albumen in fine special operations style. They wanted the secrets this building so plainly keeps beneath its lush deco exterior. After weeks of planning, they got into their [[SpyCatsuit sexy black outfits]] and made their move. They blew open the back door and, no doubt with a grand sense of empowerment and dominance, [[FreudWasRight thrust mightily inside]].
->Unfortunately, the entire main building of Project Albumen is a honey trap. The interior is very large and has intricate folded metal all around the walls; this falsely gives the impression of a large number of secret doors and passages, so it took them twenty-nine or so minutes to establish that there are, in fact, [[OhCrap no exits]]. Shortly thereafter they discovered that the sanctum sanctorum, the warm, secret heart of Project Albumen, is in fact rather cold and unwelcoming, because it floods on a half-hour cycle [[KillItWithIce with liquid nitrogen]]. The motivated gentlemen were removed somewhat later in the day, when they had thawed enough to be prized loose from the floor.
