Night 59: Main Hallway, 1-West
[from here]
Kirk ran into the main hallway and found nothing there except more pink light coating everything. His gut feeling said that if something was happening, it should've happened already, but he was a loss to explain what was going on. The system (if he could call it that, vague as it was to describe the whole Landel's torture/experimentation assembly line) had broken down at least once already, on that night when I.R.I.S. had first(?) appeared, and the whole of the building flickered like a malfunctioning hologram. Was that what the glowing cover was for? To prevent... he didn't know. Something. Something bad enough to warrant a Code Red.
(What had killed that creature?)
Waiting around here was already bad enough on normal nights, what with it being an open space with high traffic, but he'd picked it because it was the quickest and most obvious meeting place for all of them. Now with the whole area lit up like the inside of a strip club, Kirk was starting to feel like a lone piece of meat wrapped in a gold ribbon and tossed out for the wolves. He made a face for a second as he considered the unfortunate implication of mixing those similes, then decided that the dumb thoughts which crossed his mind ranked considerably lower in priority than, you know, paying attention to his surroundings and not getting himself killed.
Kirk swung the lead pipe in his hand once, just to focus, and shook his head as pain rippled out from the still-healing gunshot wound on his right arm. Take it easy, Jim, he admonished himself silently. It was still early in the night. Someone would be along shortly. And if not... he was giving his crew one minute. One minute, and then screw it, he was tracking down everyone himself.

The further she walked from her room, the more on edge she felt, her insides twisting uncomfortably. She still hadn't run into any kind of monster and, strangely enough, it only made her all the more nervous. Come on, running into monsters? Leanne could deal with that, even if she didn't have any real way to defend herself. She was used to this, used to having to deal with gremlins, at the very least, from practically the moment she stepped out of the safety of a town.
But this uncertainty, walking down hallway after hallway and finding only other people, and monster corpses, was... It was horrible, she hated it! Not knowing was somehow worse than seeing the real thing in front of her.
If nothing else, at least she could take comfort in the fact that she was making some kind of progress in her plans to explore. And there was still a lot more ground to cover.
