"You've been drugged, Rohgen," Tina answered.  "It will pass quickly.  
Just try not to push yourself."

Tina scanned the room, taking care not to turn her head too quickly.  
She had a suspicion that if she did, even when she stopped her head, 
her vision would continue to circle, making her very sick.

She moved, slowly, over to where the grate was located and moved her 
fingers along where the grate was embedded into the mortar, studying it 
for strength and durability.  During the war, she and Sam would look 
for this sort of situation whenever they were trying to infiltrate a 
building.  It was obvious, of course, but it frequently worked.
