Looks interesting, but I couldn't figure out how to enter the password into the computer. Could just be my unfamiliarity with text-based adventures.

I like the environmental descriptions - unfortunately, I couldn't figure out how to type the password from the slip into the computer.
I ran out of time to make good alternatives to certain verbs. There isn't a way to type [something] on [something], just type on [something], which assumes you mean an important item like the password.
First of all, I'll just say that I'm no good at Inform and wouldn't be able to create an IF game in such a short time.
That said, while this is a solid entry, there's nothing that really wowed me. The writing is extremely sparse (fair enough, given the theme), the set-up has been done before, and the security system in the facility seems a bit lax. Also, "paper" really should be a synonym for "slip".
Hope I'm not sounding too negative. You clearly know how to make IF games; I just wanted a bit more plot and/or innovation.
It fits with the theme pretty well. i liked the writing, but i found the verbs difficult to use and i wasn't sure what word i could use.
