Your gaze lingers on the scientists as their innards are slowly mangled by their parasite’s death throes… they don’t shout or whine in their anguish, but it’s clear as day that they feel what’s happening to them…
But it’s not that you see yourself and what could have been in their curled up forms that gets you, no… It’s the fact that despite all you’ve accomplished, all you’ve survived tonight… you know you can’t ferry them all to safety.
“It’s too late for them, Diesel…” Adds Pepper as she gives your shoulder a gentle squeeze, “We’ve… we’ve gotta go.”
“You’ve saved more people than you realize tonight, kid,” Adds Chuck as he leads the way through the airlock, “But take it from me: you can’t always bring <span class="mu-i">everyone</span> back.”
Bolstered by their words, you give your… <span class="mu-i">brothers</span>... one last glance before following Chuck through the <span class="mu-s">LOCKER ROOM.</span> You scarcely pass the first set of lockers before the whole facility <span class="mu-i">QUAKES</span> with some kind of internal explosion–one that reminds you that you’re not safe yet!
“MOVE!” Roars Chuck as he gestures towards the door far across the shredded catwalk ahead, “No time to take pictures!”
The pit below bellows steam as arcs of electricity climb the walls around you! The cool, sterile atmosphere of the lab is swiftly replaced by the scent of burning electronics as the temperature rises around you and assaults your already-fatigued body with a rush of hot, damp air!
Some unlucky slashers are still writhing on the ground as you prepare to hopscotch across the remaining catwalk skeleton–others barely react as they tumble into the glowing, hissing abyss below!
Stepping aside for you, the groundskeeper adjusts his grasp on the still-comatose Raj on his back!
“Just don’t look down, kid! Lead the way!”
