Quicklog -- Tethys Lockdown: Cat, Matt, Steve
[The entire facility was dark now.
The only lights came from the corners, where a gel-like goop was dotted with circular lights that glowed. In Cat's opinion? The glow made it worse. The elevators were offline. Lockdown was secure. And, funnily enough, she thought the things might've been the ones to take out the elevators and shut down the power grid. She figured it was only a matter of time until the military facility evacuated everyone from the other levels of the science campus. And then? They'd burn them, or they'd blow them up, or they'd freeze them out. Or, maybe they'd be very lucky, and maybe it would be toxic gas. Either way? It was going to be a fun death, and Cat was so excited. (/Sarcasm)
And the control room? It was entirely compromised. Cat was alternating between her public comm with Steve, and the isolated one with Matt, but she got to the point where she cut both lines, offering a quick whisper of explanation. She couldn't talk, not without being heard, and she had company in the control room.
Bob. Alice. Archie. Even Old Madge. They were all wandering the space with her. Their gaits were ragged, though Bob seemed faster than the others. He was younger, and maybe that made a difference. He seemed, as far as Cat could tell, more verbal than the others. Old Madge repeated the same phrase over and over: No! Stay away! Archie and Alice? They alternated between screams in frozen mouths, and violence to anything that they perceived as moving. Bob. Bob talked. Bob talked, and that? Cat hated that most.
And her? She was crouched behind a server tower in the server farm, which was located at the far end of the control room. She was bleeding a little from a gash to the thigh, which she'd noticed quite a bit at first. She'd been so sure it was the femoral artery. But now? Oddly? She hardly noticed it at all. She thought it was the serum, or maybe it was the gamma still trickling thinly in her veins. She didn't think for a second that it could be anything else. Why would she?]
