Which means we’ve gotta hurry if we don’t want to be attacked on both sides, you nod with a frown forming on your face! Damn it!
“I know stuff sucks enough right now,” Raj cuts in, “But how are we gettin’ past these big doors with no power?”
“Maybe there’s a <span class="mu-s">VENT</span> or two around?” Shrugs Pepper as she looks to you for guidance! “Unless we wanna zap ‘em open like we di-”
<span class="mu-s">NOT</span> like last time, you snap! You’re not leaving anyone stranded!
“Man,” Groans Raj, “Too bad there’s no one here that, like, knows their way around, huh?”
Well, you shrug, you <span class="mu-i">DID</span> find something that belonged to a person that used to work here! Retrieving the <span class="mu-s">LAB COAT</span> from your pocket, you and the others preemptively jump away when something tumbles out of one of its many pockets–another <span class="mu-s">KEYCARD</span>... and a <span class="mu-s">SOPPING-WET NOTEBOOK!</span>
Flipping through the latter for any pages that haven’t soaked through, you manage to find one entry that’s somewhat legible…
“Then read it, then.” Grunts Chuck as he scans the cave around you, “We ain’t goin’ anywhere yet…”
You happily oblige. The text is swollen and runs at some points like a bad watercolor painting, but you manage to decipher the important bits:
‘<span class="mu-i">o safeguards whatsoever. We’ve got guards and turrets, sure, but no way of reversing the infection… until now!</span>’
“KEEP READING!” Hisses Pepper as your eyes light up!
Alright, CHILL!
