Favourite moment in Worlds in Time so far:

Investigating goings-on at the Sisters of Plenitude hospital, we discover the existence of a sinisterly-named secret ward deep below the hospital. After gaining access we find a row of heavily-secured rooms, each protected by two different kinds of lock. After breaking the locks on the first one, we open the door to reveal...

...a broom closet.

(The secret laboratory for investigating things what man was not meant to wot of was in the next heavily-secured room over.)

A nice bonus was that this wasn't just a random gag: a bit later in the plot, knowing where the broom closet was became a tactical advantage.

For osme reason this made me thnk of my playing of Skyrim, where due to a Penny Arcade strip I'm hoarding brooms nd dropping them all in the spare room in my house in Whiterun. There's about twenty of them in there now.

Is there any in-plot explanation given for having the brooms heavily secured by two different kinds of lock...?

(I'm immediately thinking 'Harry Potter')

Not explicitly. The idea I got was that, this being a sinister secret base, every door was heavily secured as a matter of policy.
