Has anyone from outside ever seen the inside of the domes? Do we know how many people are inside them? 

[If someone could get out, then there had to be a way in. Charles was sure of that. Nem had said 'slipped through the cracks' and now he was wondering if that might not be more literal than he had originally thought. He should have gone and had a chat with Ezekiel but the poor boy looked so weak and ill, perhaps it was time to try and find some answers of his own.]

What would you say to a bit of exploring, my friend?

A stroll. Of course. I'll be sure to pack us a picnic basket then.

[Oh he knows what you're doing there, Charles. But as far as Erik's concerned, it's still going to bring unneeded attention their way. If it was anybody else, he'd leave them to it and not think twice about it.]

[It's a risk that right now, Charles thinks he can afford to take. He just wants to have a look, after all. If he happens to prod at it a bit, he doesn't yet believe it will bring them down on his head. So he just smiles to himself and responds.]

We'll make a pleasant day of it.

[As though this is quite literally a walk in the park, and not an expedition into foreign and dangerous territory.]

As long as we're back in time to watch the sunset, of course.

[Or rather, as long as they get back before it's too dark to watch their surroundings properly.]

Of course. And a game of chess?

[He understands the reasoning. The plan is really just a quick look. Nothing all that dangerous, theoretically.]

Assuming we come back with our limbs intact.

[Because a little morbidity never hurt anyone.]
