As fun as it’d be to blow open the door with whatever you find in the <span class="mu-s">ARMORY</span>, your money’s on a <span class="mu-s">ROCKET LAUNCHER,</span> Raj makes a decent point–it’s gonna get really annoying if you keep having to tug doors open like some kind of caveman!
“D’aww, and here I was looking forward to seeing you do more ‘<span class="mu-i">Tough Guy</span>’ stuff!” Replies Pepper with mock disappointment in her voice! “Bummer, sandcrab!”
Time enough for that <span class="mu-i">later</span>, you mutter under your breath, right now you really oughta check on the power situation… especially if you need to beat a hasty retreat later!
“Gotcher’ back, bro!” Smiles Raj as he readies his <span class="mu-s">FIRE AX!</span> “Lead the way!”
<span class="mu-i">Gladly</span>--if you hang around that blood puddle any longer you’re gonna start drooling… and you just know people are gonna hold that against you! Hanging a right takes you into a half caved-in tunnel–no doubt due to the theatrics you pulled up above earlier!
Crawling over the rubble like a cockroach, you wait until Pepper and Raj join you before continuing any further into the darkness! Fumbling forwards, your first stop takes you to what the <span class="mu-s">MAP</span> calls the <span class="mu-s">POWER STATION</span>... and sure enough the whole place is deader than Smythe!
“Hmm…” Muses Pepper as she flits to and fro like a red haired butterfly, “Weird…”
Okay, Pepper, you groan as you join Raj in examining the veritable <span class="mu-i">forest</span> of wires and pipes around you, what’s so weird, hmm?
“Most of this equipment seems to be in pretty decent shape!” She reports as she points to a <span class="mu-s">CONSOLE</span> nestled up against an electrical box flanked by even more wires, “You’d think there’d be more signs of sabotage, is all.”
Now that she mentions it, she’s <span class="mu-i">right</span>--try as you might to find evidence of someone or some<span class="mu-i">thing</span> carving through the electrical components as part of some grand escape plan, you just can’t see it! Sure, there are a few gashes here and there, but they’re erratic–probably just there thanks to a scuffle with a monster!
“Maybe someone just turned everything off an’ left?” Shrugs Raj as the lab groans around you! You’d like to tell him he’s wrong, but as the words sink into your heads, both you and Pepper exchange a wary glance!
“Follow me, boys...” The girl commands as she confidently strides towards the tunnel marked ‘<span class="mu-s">GEOTHERMAL</span>’, “I wanna check something.”
Oh boy…
>CONTD.
