>>5736333“Huh…” Mutters Pepper as she takes a picture of the scanner instruments and the walls of one-way tempered windows bordering them, “Where’d everybody go?”
You smell the answer quicker than you see it: passing through the sparking scanner, you peek around to where the security guards would normally be stationed and find a puddle of coagulated blood and a few tiny chunks of viscera next to a worn office stool along with several other similar puddles heading past the checkpoint!
Welp, you sigh, turning away from the carnage when you start to feel <span class="mu-i">hungry</span> staring at it, guess those monsters have been here… following close behind, Pepper’s eyes widen in shock as she sees what you saw before taking some fresh pictures on her camera!
“The question is, sandcrab:” she mutters as she gets a few different angles, “were the monsters coming <span class="mu-i">in</span>... or were they breaking <span class="mu-i">out?</span>”
Definitely <span class="mu-i">out</span>, you reply as you turn back to examine the door with Raj and find its colossal mechanical hinges all but torn off! Which can only mean one thing…
Regrouping in the doorway leading deeper into the bunker, Raj’s light shines into the next room and briefly illuminates a yellow ‘<span class="mu-s">7</span>’ covered in blood, spent cartridges, and scratches!
This is where it began!
Cautiously passing through the doorway, you find yourself inside some kind of <span class="mu-s">LAB</span>... the entrance to one, at least! Devoid of any chairs, desks, or computers of any kind, you’re still pretty certain you’re in some kind of <span class="mu-s">LOBBY</span> that splits off into three different directions!
“Didn’t we get, like, a <span class="mu-s">MAP</span> of this place or something, dudes?” Asks Raj as he points his lamp down one of the hallways leading deeper into the facility. “Would come in <span class="mu-i">real</span> handy right about now!”
Yea, you nod as you take the <span class="mu-s">LEVEL 7 MAP</span> out, it would, wouldn’t it? Shine some light on me, please!
According to the map, the three paths split into distinct sections:
To the <span class="mu-s">NORTH</span> you’ve got the <span class="mu-s">LABS</span>, from the looks of it, but that way’s blocked by a <span class="mu-s">HUGE</span> airlock…
“A failsafe must’ve triggered and shut it…” Pepper guesses as you all examine the door in all its majesty. “Could probably open it with enough elbow grease, but I’m betting there’s a better way to crack <span class="mu-i">that</span> walnut!”
“Like over <span class="mu-i">there?</span>” Asks Raj as he points to the part of the map marked ‘<span class="mu-s">POWER STATION</span>’! “Could definitely go for some real lights right about now, dudes…”
You were thinking the <span class="mu-i">other</span> way, you reply as you give the part marked ‘<span class="mu-s">ARMORY</span>’ a tap! Could probably find something to blast open the door in there!
Where to?
