Gossip pertaining to the existence of an HQ pool has been around for some time, mostly thanks to the ever-colorful Multiverse Monitor. Many sources, official and unofficial, have denied its existence,[1] but it exists, at least some of the time. It's just extremely unlikely that you'll ever see it.
HQ Pool Sightings[]
- A pool was installed in the Admin Annexe when the Organisation was founded. It is unclear if this is the same pool.[2]
- The mirror multiverse doubles of Agents Tawaki, Tadkeeta, Kedri'Neref, and Tangara found it two thousand twenty-four flights of stairs below the Disturbing Acts of Violence Department (which is itself one thousand twelve flights down from the rest of HQ). They set up a barricade there and fought the Department of External Security.[3]
- This route may or may not be the "long way" taken by the Flowers during the Fifth Anniversary Celebration.[4]
- This pool is also accessed by a platform elevator down the corridor from Medical.[source, please!]
- The pool has also been accessed via an underwater tunnel from the Fountain of Bleepka, which, if you think about it, makes no sense.[5]
- The pool was apparently also the location to which a Weeping Angel sent the entire Department of Dead Author Electricity Generation during the Blackout, but that entire story is riddled with plotholes of its own.[6]
