While using those guys as meat shields.

Just good in, and ensure those guys go first.

-"The door!"

+"*Disjointed sentence in Russian, as though each word was being played from a separate tape player*"
-"Oh God, an alarm!"

+"*Another, shorted disjointed Russian sentence.*"
-"Wait, what? And now...we're authorized?"

-"Well...I guess we shouldn't question good fortune..."

GO FORWARD!
And continue using those guys as meat shields.

Ask the guyw with the white wing shaped hair why his head looks like its a bullet,and if he gets mad,kill hime.if not go right and continue your journy of whatever your trying to achieve.

May as well go forward...
There, I posted, you happy now? (Note: The preceding sentence is an inside "joke" between me and Cinos. You may safely disregard that it even exists.. unless you're Cinos. In which case, you know what to do)

In a world where grammar and spelling counts, this occurs. No, just no.

-"Listen, I'll go scout out ahead. I want to find out what this place is."

...

Investigate broken-open panel with exposed wiring behind you.

Better yet, ask black-hair-dude to investigate it, in case there's live current.

Read any and all stuff that may be written on the picture or frame, or tell us who it is.

And contemplate the similarities between the guy in the picture and the assistant.

And wonder who opened a door that, from the level of technology that existed in '63, would not have had a computer operating it.

"October 15, 1963 Ludwig Erhard follows Conrad Adenauer as West German Chancellor"

Damn, no clues there.

-"I used to take everything apart when I was young, but what interested me the most was Father's old radio. When he found me with it in pieces he didn't get mad, to my surprise. That was the year before...I'm sorry, I just...just...I'm sorry I mentioned that."

I call upon Main Characters memory.

To recall whatever event the assistant is sorry for reminding Main Character and or himself of.

Also, find out Assistants' name, and try and find any clues to the main in the picture, and make sure neither Main Character nor Assistant recognizes said man in picture.

Don't know him very well.

FINE, ask him to tell you what the purpose of that panel is.

-"What? This is just some old keycard scanner...I'd guess it's from the late 70's. Wasn't too hard to bypass. It has some old hookups behind it, for some sort of electromechanical thing, maybe a punchcard reader. Anyway, this place has been updated since the 60's, I guess."

Have him check out what appeard to be another door.
