Going Up
The elevator arrives and you hop in, quickly jabbing the button that will take you to the 46th floor. An eerie silence hangs in the air as the elevator begins to ascend, rising quickly and noiselessly through the building with scarcely a judder. Invitation in hand, you find yourself sweating in anticipation of coming face to face with the Betelgeusian comics editor, wondering what kind of reward lies in store for your honesty in returning the ticket. Surely, at the very least, a free subscription to 2000ad is in order, if not the Megazine as well. As the elevator reaches its destination and a soft ‘ping’ announces your arrival, you prepare to find out. The doors open and you step out into a dimly lit hall...to the sounds of a claxoning alarm as your presence is detected...

Make a run for it, hoping to find Tharg first and explain the situation?
