*sighs* Better hope it's not damaged or encrypted, it's not like I'm an engineer here. *I run over to the main control panel and start scanning the screens for the data stream for the systems of the facility* Of course there's blood splattered all over the screens too... *I find a status report of the mine for 10 hours ago stating a disturbance in the core shaft after discovering organic material in the rock followed by a series of flatlined rigs after the decision to move it into a biplane was made. No further reports were made but the alarms for all levels were set off shortly after* Looks like this infection only started a few hours ago SM... They found something in the core shaft, I wonder if it wa- *Im cut off by the screeches of infected echoing through the floor* Please tell me that door can still close... Or your gonna have to fight them off while I find the data I need... *I turn back to the console to scan more for information of possible survivors or any clear areas in the mine. I also start setting up a connection to the system with my rig just in case we have to bail the room before I could finish* At the very least I need 5 minutes!

"Well considering the fact that I blew up the lock....I am going to have to hold them off." *i start to head towards the door when I thought hits me* "Wait, there should be an emergency lockdown system! It does more than lock the door, it seals it airtight. It is in case dangerous gases escape the core and drift up towards the surface. I know it sounds kinda dumb but an entire mining colony was killed because of core gases." *i dash back to the control panel beside Aero* "Let's see....go in here.....find emergency...aaannndddd BAM!" *[b][i]Emergency procedures initiated. Lockdown commencing[/i][/b] *the doors all shut and seal* "Ok that should hold them. The only problem is now we are sealed in here...we will have to cut our way out. So get whatever you need now because I don't think we will be coming back." *BOOM* *the sounds of Plague scraping and whacking the doors in a mad rush to get in fills the room* "Don't worry. Those doors will hold. Anything on the sensors?"

Not much that we didn't already know.. They already initiated the lockdown sequence on the maintenance level and all the rigs that were monitored her are either flatlined or disconnected from the system. *I shift through some more data, the banging on the door getting more insistent* It also appears there was a system of energy rails that could serve as a way to move around the mines quickly. They were mainly used for materials and minerals but it could also accommodate 3 or 4 people too. *The door groans under the pressure of a large body slamming against it* Say, did you think of how we were going to get out of here [i]and[/i] through the infected? Because we have all we need and now we are trapped...

"I didn't think that far ahead. Do or die ya know?" *a large bang comes from the door. The start of a dent can be seen* "Ok, I think we should head deeper into the mine and see if we can figure out where the hell the Plague came from. This all started when they mined some sort of organic material, but they did not necessarily specify what it was. I say we find out for ourselves. What do you think?"

Better than nothing! *A blade strikes through the door* I also get a feeling we are about to be over run by a sledgehammer and another eviscerator, not to mention whatever number of infected they have with them judging by that blade and dent. *the door suddenly falls inward revealing my fears to be true* Well, here we go! [spoiler]I was so relieved that this wasn't a post on my thread xP[/spoiler]

"Time to make a daring exit!" *we dash across the room towards another door. I take out my plasma saw and rev it up* "This might take a second!" *i plunge the saw into the door and start cutting. The door cuts like butter, quickly giving way to the saw* "Alright we are through!" *we jump through the hole in the door and make a mad dash for the elevator* "We will have to take this down to the bottom level in order to get to the mine shaft. On a mine this big we might want to hitch a ride on those mine carts you mentioned" *we come to a stop in front of the elevator. I push the call button and the creaking and moaning of the gears and cables fills the air* "Well...if they didn't know where we before, they know now." *the elevator comes to a stop and the doors slide open. The white mist lays in a fine layer over the floor of the elevator, rising up in wisps* "I don't know about you, but that stuff creeps me out. I have never seen that in a mine before." *we step into the elevator and Aero pushes the button for the lowest level. The elevator creaks to a start and drops us down into the darkness...and whatever lay beyond*
