Natalya has gotten a message from her mentor, perhaps the only person of any authority in the Estate that she trusts, letting her know that they are dead. The note had specific instructions for her to go to a specific room in the palace, steal some kind of egg, and make a run for it.   Natalya gets some appropriate clothes and assumes her mentor’s shape. Like always, It feels odd for a moment, then she adjusts.   She dresses for the season and her Mentor’s rank, from the clothing stored in the practice studio.   She walks through the halls, accepting salutes from the guards, but she avoids major corridors because she doesn’t know who else knows about the assassination of her mentor.   She heads for the Egg Place, and signs herself as conducting an inspection for some senior minister.   Two rows of spirit eggs on ornate, padded shelves, carefully sorted so the largest one is in the middle front, with pride of place, maybe some name scrolls hanging down. Natalya recognizes some of the names as members of the noble house, but the one on the biggest egg seems to be some kind of code name.   Yoink!   She tucks the egg under her robes in a secure place, and then books it.   She can hear some shouted orders in the distance as she slips behind a panel into a quiet alternate passage, and heads for the escape tunnel.   As she enters the escape tunnel, she can hear running coming down the corridor. Jams the door and runs. The escape packs are exactly where they are supposed to be, she changes shape back to herself, swaps the court robes for plain peasant clothes, and pulls the lever.   The hidden exit is completely buried until activated, when a tunnel exit forces its way up through the soil by some ancient mechanism. An ancient, noisy mechanism.
