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.

Utena let out a surprised shout, jumping back to avoid the outer spray of blood and tissue from the shattering remains of the monster's upper body. Whatever Sechs had done, it was more than she could have hoped to do on her own. Her eyes were wide, the flow of the prince's spirit within her quieted by what she had just seen. She just barely fumbled out a "thank you" to the wild-haired man, followed by "That was amazing... All of you."
It was the acrid stench of blood and guts that snapped Utena back to full attention. "Yeah, but we have to get out of here, and fast," she said after Aigis spoke. She didn't know if the basement ballroom would be any safer, but it was worth it to try. From what she remembered of it, that place had been completely empty, and with all those heavy doors, it was probably hard for monsters to get in. If it was still that way tonight, then the sooner they could all get down there, the better.
"Everyone, grab onto me! We're leaving!" she said to her three new companions. Shoving a hand into her jacket pocket, she withdrew the red ring and slipped it onto her right ring finger, making it a dark mirror of the Rose Seal on her left. She remembered how she was supposed to activate it, and moved back toward the wall for that reason. Once everyone had a hold of her, she punched the wall behind her hard, shattering the red gem like Sechs had shattered the creature.
