It’s Tuesday lunchtime. The area around the sub-basement is as quiet as it’ll ever be, so you decide to enter through the door now. You gulp while placing the Level 5 keycard into the reader.
*CLICK*
You’re in. You nervously open the door and slip into the room, unsure of what you’re going to walk into.
The corridors of the first sub-basement levels look like something out of a sci-fi film. Neon lights illuminate your way forward. At the end of the room is a descending staircase. After descending the staircase, you reach the other door.
*CLICK*
No issues. You walk, and are greeted by what looks like a prison. There are cells to your left and your right. Each cell is inhabited by a young, scared-looking child.
“He really was telling the truth, huh?” you say to yourself.
You continue walking across the room, when suddenly you hear voices.
“Where the fuck is it?” a man shouts, grabbing someone by the throat.
“I-I don’t know. I couldn’t tell you anyway” the other man stutters.
What have you walked into? You hide in the corner of the room, hoping to God the men don’t spot you.
“Answer my fucking question or I’ll hit the red button!” the first man shouts, pulling a handgun from out of his pocket.
The second man, who on closer inspection appears to be a scientist, falls to his knees and begins to plead with the first man.
The first man sighs and slams the red button on the wall.
“You idiot.” the scientist sighs, slumping his shoulders.
Suddenly, every cell door swings open. Flashing red lights and sirens start to blare.
“WARNING. THE FACILITY HAS BEEN COMPROMISED.” a robotic voice announces.
You can’t stop now. No matter what. You decide to make a run for it. In the ensuing chaos, nobody notices you.
