They bring Calico in from a truck in the back. There's no need for the citizens to see her. Killing one Victor sends a message; punishing two just makes it look like they've lost control. She's brought in a little after rush hour, when most of the citizens are working somewhere or other.

The Human Resources department is purposefully innocuous. When Calico is wheeled in, strapped to a gurney with a gag in her mouth and straps around her wrists, ankles, neck and hips, it isn't through a dungeon but through an office with shale grey carpet and regularly-recharged fire alarms. Little cubicles, interns working on computers and compiling reports - it would look at home in a Dilbert comic. A bit of tuneless, gooey jazz music drips in.

The interns, all of whom have signed multiple waivers for their silence, glance up when they hear the squeaky wheels of the gurney and the squeegee sound of flesh dragging cloth over metal as Cal thrashes, but when they see it's Penny and Katurian they quickly turn their attention back to their computers and copy machines. There may be things worth dying for, but like worshipers before a god, they know not to tempt the fate of those they fear.

There are rooms on the fourteenth floor, offices with nice views and tinted windows and hardwood, laminate floors (much easier to clean up the mess that way). The little elevator makes a ding, ding, ding as they go up, numbers on the top lighting up. Humming to herself, Penny strokes Calico's hair.
