>Keep on exploring this place. The night was still young and your men surely had more energy in them to keep going! Besides, there still were plenty of other directions you could start heading towards.Who says we need to keep going through the main ways? There's got to be loads of secondary routes up and down the floors we can use to bypass the collapse. Cable ducts. plumbing networks, ventilation shafts, emergency stairwells, service lifts, groundwater drains, maintenance tunnels and more. Pore over the plans we have for machine rooms and utility hubs, comb said places as well as the wider area for access points into the facility's backstage areas like the crawlspaces we found earlier and we can start working on finding an alternative route of our own between floors rather than trying to brute-force what is likely a large collapse.
Some thoughts on the situation in general. I think there's a significant possibility this has been deliberately collapsed, that it conveniently blocks what seems to be a major thoroughfare into the deeper facility is suspicious. If so, was it done to keep people out of someone's lair or was it done to keep the nasties of the deeper facility in? If it collapsed naturally from the facility getting its shit rocked in the Big Bang, this whole area must be completely structurally compromised and we should beat a very hasty retreat lest us poking at it causes the rest of the ceiling to come down on our heads. We know for sure that death squads have been rooting around in the lower levels of this quadrant, so there has to be a way past somewhere and this being blocked doesn't necessarily mean it's a dead end in the search.
