The Storyline
The federal prison of Alcatraz, surrounded by the waters of San Francisco Bay, housed some of America's most dangerous and notorious felons. As a library trustee, you have spent a lot of your time walking the corridors, dropping off books, and notes, on other cellblocks. Your job has made you the most connected person in this place.
The Plot
The guards are so used to you and your library cart that they hardly watch as you move from cell to cell. Using this to your advantage, you have found inmates with access to other parts of the facilities and have come up with the plan that will get you out of your cell, and off this miserable rock.
Your Mission
If everything goes to plan, you and your crew will make an attempt between shift changes, and slip silently out to sea. Even better, if you can get access to the Main Control Room, you might be able to start a riot and let the chaos cover your escape.
