"Eugh. I'm already not a big fan of this anomaly stuff but I don't get the kind of eggheads who willingly experiment on it." Clover shivers as if he's remembering a bad personal experience. "Feels like you might turn into sludge or something."
"Feh." Wendy shrugs. She's been entertained enough by the bloodbath that just happened to not care. "It would be interesting to see how P-Corp filth experiments on the extracts here."
Onwards! You head down the other hallway, the one with cell G and H. It looks completely identical to every other fucking hallway you've been heading down, you can only describe the same scenery so much before you use the FEDKILLER on yourself.
You pass by CELL G. The cell is completely unlocked and you see only one thing sitting inside it. A small brown dog. A brown dog is a dog is a dog is a dog is a dog is a dog is a dog. Dog is dog is dog is dog is dog bark woof bark woof-
You shake your head and carry on. Seems easy enough to ignore. Your other allies let their gazes drift on the dog, even Wendy, for a bit too long for comfort but you quickly tug at their clothes with your telekinesis and that's enough to make them move forward.
CELL F's airlock is unsealed but the actual doorway has been sealed over by what appears to be loose sheet paper. As a quick test, Quentin does a quick stab towards the paper with his knife but it bounces off completely. Since you're not really in a rush to bother the anomaly, you consider this to be a passive warning and to let it be-
<span class="mu-s">"THIZZZ IZZZZ OCCUPIED, OUTZZZIDERZZZZ."</span>
OKAY YEAH LET'S NOT BOTHER THAT ONE AGAIN.
Soon, the seven of you arrive in front of the ARTIFACT RESEARCH STATION's door. It's a heavily reinforced metal airlock, much like a containment cell's door, that's clearly thick enough to block most explosives you can think of. There's a somewhat fried keypad next to it...
[CONTACTED WILTSHIRE] And you dial in the passcode. 4-12-409. Naomi pulls your group over to the side as the airlock starts its unsealing process. It takes a few minutes but soon enough, you're allowed entry. There's an odd smell in the air. A smell that someone warned you about.
Luckily, your group isn't right in front of the doorway, so it didn't trigger yet.
"Wendy, got that empty icy vial? Toss it in."
Wendy quickly does so and the moment she does, <span class="mu-r">it's immediately shot down by a barrage of turret fire.</span> The wall in front of the opened airlock is peppered with way too many bullets. Clearly meant to kill or weaken an anomaly, not a human.
"KEHEHEHEKEHEHEHEHE!!! GOT YOU GOT YOU GOT YOU GOT YOU!!!!" The raspy cackling of a woman gone made echoes throughout the abandoned hallways of the facility. The cackling immediately stops when she realizes that her trap didn't work. "FUCK! FUCK, FUCK, FUCK! FUCK, MUST'VE BEEN THAT DOG. YES, YES, THE DOG! THE DOG!!! DOG IS DOG- FUCK, NO, HEHE, DON'T THINK THAT!!!"
"she is completely out of her fucking mind." You hiss under your breath.
