Poster B - examine sign

Poster C - it is a blue sign filled with four orange block letters - SDMB.

Poster D - open door

Poster E - you turn the knob but it wouldn’t give.

Poster F - examine keypad

Poster G - it’s a minature keyboard with the words ‘LOGIN’ displayed above an LCD panel with the prompt for username and password.

Poster H - keys in username and password

Poster I - the door clicks as it unlocks audibly.

Poster J - walk in…
