The Many Miles of Corridor

*B-17/2 wanders aimlessly down one of the many multitude of identical corridors on this vast 'station*
WOW,THIS PLACE IS HUGE. I COULD HAVE SWORN THAT THIS LEAD TO THE GREAT HALL.
*stops and ponders for a moment, thinks back to the Observatory, suddenly realises that all the doors had a sign to the Great Hall, unfortunately there have been no signs or maps on the walls since*
BLIMEY I AM SOOO LATE FOR MY RENDEZVOUS, IF I WAS ME, WHICH OF COURSE I AM, I WILL PROBABLY KILL MYSELF WHEN I SEE ME.
*a small black rabbit hops past B-17/2 while he is pondering the lack of signs, and heads through another corridor entrance. This one is slightly different to the generally dull metallic look of the other corridors. This one is a deep red, almost blood like colour*
HEY BUNNY, WHERE ARE YOU OFF TO? MAYBE IT KNOWS THE WAY TO THE GREAT HALL.
*B-17/2 dashes after the hopping bunny. As soon as he enters the red corridor a Klaxon blares and a voice booms*
WELL I SHOULD BE ALRIGHT, I DO HAVE A DEGREE IN ENGINEERING
*The Klaxon stops blaring, the ensuing silence could be thought to be almost as deafening*
HERE BUNNY, here bunny.........
*B-17/2's voice disappears down the corridor after him and the bunny*

*Pr. C. Tonks watches his every move very cautiously through the many infinitessimally small cameras placed along the corridors*
What is that guy and himself up to?*he wonders*

AH CAMERAS. LOOK BUNNY CAMERAS.
*B-17/2 stops, as does the bunny and they both start jumping up and down infront of the camera*
HEY BIGC, NICE 'STATION, FOUND A BUNNY, WILL TRY AND BRING IT BACK WITH ME.
*B-17/2 suddenly wonders if there is audio on the cameras and quickly fiddles with his jacket. Turning so that his back is to the camera, he presses a button on his lapel. The above message starts to scroll across the back of his InfoCoat(TM)*
I THINK HE'LL GET THE MESSAGE, COME ON BUNNY LETS GO
*B-17/2 and the bunny start off down the corridor. B-17/2's coat is now dispaying another message.
'HARMLESS...WELL...MOSTLY...HARMLESS...WELL...'*
