The once bustling area you walked through only a few minutes ago is completely empty. There’s broken crates and wrecked vehicles all over the place. No bodies though, which you think is strange. Nothing that seems like an anomaly either, which is a relief. You already feel on edge and something like the <span class="mu-r">Thing</span> you fought in the forest popping up here would be too much to handle. You can’t even pick up a weapon with your hands the way they are.
You try and figure out where you can go from here. Most of the doorways and elevators are in ruins, but there’s some relatively undamaged places. The entrances to a lot of areas like Containment and Administration are completely buried under rubble, so there’s no going there, but there’s a few corridors that don’t seem in danger of collapsing on your head.
The main elevator in the centre of the room isn’t there, but the shaft seems intact. There’s all sorts of damage around it, small cracks in the concrete and burst pipes, but you could probably walk down it, since it’s inclined. You have no idea what might be below though.
There’s also a large ramp on the left side, leading upwards. You saw lots of forklifts and other transport vehicles going up and down it earlier, so it probably leads to the surface. You’ll probably find the source of that red glow though, and you don’t know if it’s safe. There’s cracks all along the rampway too, and along the walls, but if you get to the surface you won’t have to worry about that anymore.
The door leading back to Personnel and the D-Wing is also free of rubble. You’re most familiar there, and you might find out what happened to the people around here. But there’s a lot of corridors and with how dark it is it’ll be easy to get lost.
You sigh, and lean against the wall. What on earth happened here?
Where shall you go?
