Night 64: M41-M50 Hallway
Murphy wasn't able to control his knee jerk reaction to the static, gripping his desk chair as the lights went out and bracing for an attack he quickly realized wasn't about to come. And the Big Doc's voice carried on, bringing back unpleasant memories for the ex-con. He frowned, uncomfortable, not sure what to think or how to take the message....
He knew all too well what it was to turn into a monster.
When the computer system fell to some sort of electronic epileptic fit, Murphy just shook his head. Flashlight in one hand and chair in the other, he headed out into the hallway. He'd trust Harvey's assertion that there were plenty of directions to go, and trust his own luck he'd find one. There wasn't much else that he could do.
And maybe he'd find someone who needed help. He'd managed to keep Nina safe last night. That was more than he'd ever managed in Silent Hill. That was a good sign, wasn't it? And against all odds he was alive, and as long as he was alive he had the power to change his own fate.
Or so he kept telling himself as he ventured out into the far-more-active darkness of the institute.

The main difference between then and now, though, was that he had someone with him; at least, before, his lack of knowledge was only putting himself in danger. However, he was armed now and that was something. Besides, he trusted Tolten to be able to handle himself if he needed to.
Locke really just hoped whatever this sickness was they had wouldn't get in their way. "Let's go."
