Gervaisius' security system are not the most dangerous thing I've ever worked with.
Garrett
Masks is the fourteenth mission in Thief II: The Metal Age. Garrett is now familiar with Gervaisius' security systems and knows how to operate the secret backdoor to the third floor. Time to steal some masks and a Cultivator.
Overview[]
Now that the exhibition time has come, and since Garrett has established a "close working relationship" with Lord Gervaisius' security systems, going back in for those masks should not be too much trouble. At the same time Karras is making some modifications to Soulforge Cathedral, including some sort of valves and seals on the doors, while inside it looks like a huge factory full of machines and equipment.

Easter Eggs[]
A book located in the second floor trophy room relates the story of "Captain Rufus T. Spaulding" (an amalgam of "Rufus T. Firefly" and "Captain Geoffrey T. Spaulding", both character names of Groucho Marx) who hunts for the fabled "frumious Bandersnatch" (from Lewis Carroll's poem "Jabberwocky").
