He surveyed the door's edges, and it seemed untampered with. He bent to bring the door's control panel to eye level. His shaking left hand eased the control panel ajar. He could see no wires. Perspiration trickled down his nose as he lifted the panel further and - with his shaking right hand - inserted a power cell into the one available slot.
