The lack of light does surprise Cliffjumper at first, though maybe, since he knew he'd tripped the "intruder alert" on the lock, it shouldn't have been.

::Great.:: Turning on his own headlights - well, could see the stairs more easily that way at least - Cliffjumper dashed through the doorway and then down the stairs, though obviously even his fastest would hold up Optimus a bit, since their steps were... a bit different.

::Strange, I thought we'd have to go up... Or are we just that far up?" Either way would be an easy way to more easily keep them from escaping, if it was far to the nearest ground-level exit.
