The dark halls of the facility were illuminated by a small pocket torch, it scanning the floor for debris whilst avoiding the darker parts further ahead. Aden made sure not to alert his presence too much, just using the torch he had found to get an idea of his surroundings. The lack of night vision made traversing the ruins rather tough, but he kept hopes up. "I think we're getting close to that office space. I just hope the directions those scientists gave aren't wrong." He'd say softly, as his draconic friend nodded along quietly. "Well, we don't have too many places to go, right?" Toyotama said more quietly, to which Aden scoffed in amusement. "Well, we could skip the elevator, and just try our luck with the green section. Then again, last thing I heard of it, some insane rabbit subject got killed there and it's now being swarmed by people."

Aden and Toyotama had set out a plan for themselves, yet were not all that well prepared for the future. Aden just had a small pistol, with nothing else to help out. At least he still had some heavy armour to protect himself with. Though as they headed northwards, they would start taking notice of more and more concerning sights. "I can sense quite a bit of blood ahead. Those offices must've seen plenty of battles." She commented reluctantly, which did pique Aden's interests. Though as they got closer and closer to the offices, they'd start hearing noises coming from behind them. Looking behind them, they saw several shapes moving closer in the darkness behind them. "Shit, shit, shit." Aden mumbled as he looked around for a way out. Once he saw a side-chamber, he'd signal Toyotama to follow. "Quick, in here." He'd rush to the sliding door, trying to open it up yet finding it to be something of a struggle. The sound quickly got closer and closer, Toyotama panicking as well. "A-Aden, Aden! What do we do?! They're coming over to us! I-I don't wanna get in trouble!"

Toyotama tried to speak with a hushed voice, but her panic made it a bit louder. Aden hushed her, before forcing her between himself and the wall. "Stay behind me. Don't show yourself and keep quiet. I'll deal with them." He was clearly anxious, yet tried to keep his cool at this imminent threat. The footsteps got closer and closer, until Aden could see the outlines of five guardsmen with strange cloths covering them. He'd hold out his pistol, and waited for the guards to go into the offense. However, Aden would notice the guards running past him and Toyotama, not even seeming to take notice of the two, despite him showing himself with the torch he had. It left him stunned, as the guardsmen rapidly rushed forward without pause. "A-Aden, w-what are they..." Toyotama mumbled quietly, not even finishing her sentence. Aden stepped forward and looked ahead. "Those were... guardsmen. Facility guardsmen. Were they running from something?" He said, as Toyotama seemed rather confused.
