Annah examines the door to the stairway carefully, but sees nothing to worry her. Fortunately, though she might not realize, staircases are often used for evacuation and thus the doors to them tend not to be locked. She pushes at the push bar, then, noticing its weight, holds onto it as it closes so it doesn't make a lot of noise as it relatches (although if Telrim follows she does not object). She blinks as dim orange night lights in the stairwell cancel out her darkvision, and peers downward, where the stairs turn and lead to a solid metal door.
This one, perhaps leading to a maintenance room or storage, has a fair more traditional lock than the card lock. Annah removes her earring, looking at a glance like an punk-esque assemblage of junk turned jewelry, and assembles from it a rather clever set of lockpicks, which she uses to deftly disable the pesky lock.
