When Hill and Corina stepped out from the elevator, the Cyberdyne employees they saw were actually not in that much of a panic, because after all, it was just a computer network problem, not a fatal disaster like 9-11 or a fire. Everything was still in order.
The two moved along a corridor and then climbed up the stairs of the fire escape with the "insider" leading the way. Cyberdyne was indeed a wealthy company. The stairs, that were normally used only by the janitors and those who liked to exercise, were kept very clean. Fresh flowers and luxuriant bonsai lined the sides, which made the air was very fresh.
When they climbed to the 10th floor, a group of guards were crowding the stairs and blocking their way. The guards were not actually there to intercept them. They were here because one of their colleagues was attacked in the fire escape, so they had come here to rescue him and investigate the matter.
