Night 63: Main Hallway 1-West

...Another empty hallway.

Chair held by both back legs - one in each hand - Murphy sighed and slumped against the wall. These stupid clothes didn't have pockets, and shoving things awkwardly in the waistband of his pants was beginning to become a pain. If this were a normal chair, like he usually found, he'd just break it apart and use one of the legs. Unfortunately, that didn't look like an option.

There was less junk lying around here, too. Practically none, now that he thought about it. Maybe...maybe he didn't need a weapon? The radio had remained silent, and there were no corpses lying around. Not even a blood trail.

He set the chair down and took the radio out, wondering if maybe it was broken. He stuck the end of the flashlight into his mouth to free his hands and allow him to investigate the piece of equipment.

Maybe this was some sort of clue....

[For Nina!]

Even here, the going was a lot more difficult than Soma had anticipated. She'd used up most of her energy outside, and now the run was beginning to take its toll on her.

Still, she knew this part of the institute like the back of her hand by now, and she also knew she'd feel a lot better about the general situation once she had her gun in her hand.

"I'll meet you both back here as soon as I have my things," she told Lingormr and Castiel, and set off for her room.

It didn't take them long to make it back to this area, although Castiel realized that their rooms were about as separated as they could be. M73 was not in the same block as his own room, which meant that they were going to have to do some running around before they'd all be prepared to deal with the rest of the night.

On the other hand, was there much point in getting armed and heading out somewhere? It might make more sense to stay in their rooms until morning, seeing how they were already at such a disadvantage. Tactically, that might make more sense, especially when he was injured.

Before he could voice any of those thoughts, however, Soma already took off. Castiel sighed, glancing to Lingormr for a moment before leading them down the hall that led to both of their blocks.

[To here.]

Soma rounded the corner quickly. More running was probably out of the question right now, but she felt well enough to attempt an easy jog. She didn't want to keep anyone waiting.
