Floor C Present
# 16 of them on this floor. If there are none in the blind spot of the security camera coverage. They are "usual" Aggressive attacks on sight ones.
"Well, you spoil me too much with this "good news"
Keeping his head down, Harry started towards the equipment lab Emmy had designated earlier, things were quiet at first. But this quietness was getting on his nerves as he progressed by checking the glassed-in windows of the labs, especially checking what was inside and whether there was any threat.
Harry continued to move without encountering other humans or Abnormals for 10 minutes. No matter how careful he tries to be. He was startled by the sudden movement in one of the glass-walled labs. Knowing that you might encounter an 'Abnormal' doesn't fully prepare you for the fact that you can come face-to-face with one.
"Holy cow. That was scary. My heart. Poor thing.. for god's sake damned Abnormal, where do they learn to be this scary!!!
Emmy am I still not entered your coverage yet?"
# Unfortunately you are still a long way off Mr.Kowalski
"Damn this fire extinguisher becoming heavy. I knew it. I should have worked out more. Some muscles here and there would have been better."
# While you can say your health is optimal and you have not many problems, not doing any sport decrease your lifetime.
"Tell that to the man who stuck his face on the glass and nearly gave me a heart attack. He seemed to be doing some kind of exercise. But didn't help him even a little bit righhhttt?"
# Your point missing the case. If there wasn't any event like this. He would have lived much longer than you
"Hah, we're not living in "what if's". Waiting here not helping, I should keep going my sword not going to come to me."
Chatting with Emmy, he relaxed a bit, rested his tired muscles, and relaxed a few of his frayed nerves.
"It's tiring to crouch down like this, I should have played a little more ranger class in battlefield games"
# There should be the main hall near your location which was crowded before the event and probably still crowded after it. Walk more slowly and keep your voice down.
"How can I keep talking when you tell me to shut up this nicely. "Once more unto the breach, dear friends, once more", well it's only a hundred meters or so but my back is drenched. Seriously why is this place this big. Never noticed before. Only a few hundred or more? "
With the precise guidance of Emmy Harry was getting close to the Equipment lab and passed a few more of the "Abnormals" without any accident? Only the main hall and the next two sections remain.
"I'm mastering this dagger and cloak stuff. I never thought I would one day crawl on the ground from one place to another. Especially when carrying a fire extinguisher. Oddly enough I'm not that tired anymore and it doesn't feel as heavy as before."
# According to the data I'm getting from your Comm. Bracelet. Your life sigs look good too
"Adrenaline makes wonders. I guess?"
# Mr.Kovalski, when you turn right in the next corridor, you will see the main hall. I can see the next 2 sections there will be no more delays you can get to equipment lab D5 for the Light Sword
Before getting there Harry stops where he is and stays there for a few min more getting his breathing steady, getting his sore muscles a bit relaxed.
"This fire extinguisher is too heavy as a weapon. If there are a few Abnormals in the main hall and if they see me, what are my chances of defending myself by hurling it around?
# Mr. Kowalski I'm sorry to interrupt your self-talk but a new development may affect your plan or how to use your fire extinguisher against probably half a dozen of the "Abnormals" at least 3-4 times stronger than you.
"I would roll my eyes at you. If you were in front of me. What's this important new development?"
# Another survivor appeared on D Floor in the area I could monitor with cameras, Unfortunately, she has no Communication Bracelet.
"Yeah well, that's surprising. So she was at one of the blind spots of your monitoring area. Who's She? and what she's doing at the moment? Is there any way to get in contact?"
# She's Employee #100029120-01A moving towards the main hall too I'll lose her sight if she moves ten or so meters straight"
"Sometimes I wonder how an AI as smart as you are. Of course, assuming you have to be smarter than me. How could you have decided that the Employee ID would mean something to me? What's her name what's her profession who she is etc in short please"
# Elizabeth Cunningham, Bio-Mechanical Engineer Specialist on one topic. 27 years old, Single, Her chances of survival are not as high as yours, If you weren't alive, She could have been one of the candidates for the job assigned to you.
"Ohh!! I can give it to her! I'm kidding... I'm kidding... Don't worry... But if she is good enough to carry research data. Her low survival chance it's not a reason to ignore her. Why don't we reach her? Besides, if we both work together, this mission's chance of success increases.

Elizabeth prided herself on being calm, focused, and purposeful in all circumstances. She was so focused on her experiment. She didn't see the warning messages on the Communications bracelet until the explosion. Seconds after the explosion she heard, everything around her, not even the lights were working. A few seconds later, the emergency lights came on.
"What. What happened... ADAMMMMM... I couldn't record that last part.. damn what happened I was getting close to the end of the experiment!!. and what was that sound. Did I hear it wrong? ? I can't be imagining the emergency lights after all. Adammmm?? "Damn why now..."
She was surprised to hear it because she was on the D floor and there wasn't that that can cause the explosion that she heard and just she was about to check what happened then there was an earthquake hit the place. It was so strong she lost her balance and hit the nearest cabinets. After the initial shock subsided. Somehow, surviving without a scratch didn't make her happy.
Because when she came out of the lab where she was caught in this disaster and tried to assess her situation, she saw things she had never thought of before, that destroyed everything she knew and believed in. The people she worked with. It started suddenly. Most of them fell to the ground like puppets with their strings cut, and the ones still standing looked a little dazed, and then they started attacking each other. Not like people who have worked together in the same place for years, but people who hate each other to death. When the first person near her got killed at the hands of another colleague in this chaotic struggle, she started to worry for her life when one of the co-workers of the same project approaches her with madness in his eyes.
"Call! Carll stop! don't come any closer!"
As she starts moving back towards the lab just she left before. The one she called Carl started snarling at her.
"Ohh, that has to be the cue for me to start running or it'll get a little ugly"
She turned and started running towards the lab… She knew the lab was the safest place right now. As she Knows the lab from the back of her hand, where finding something to protect herself would be very easy. She was lucky because her attacker get attacked just after he attacked her. With that, she managed to get to the door of the lab.
"Damn I'm glad I did not miss a leg day. Otherwise."
Watching what was going on outside as she tried to control her breathing once inside, frightened Elizabeth even more. Especially when some "former colleagues" and new "monsters" start punching the glass wall of the lab.
"Wow wowww, I hope that glass wall would not break easily. I should not force the fate and should start hiding"
She walked over to the cabinets and squatted, finding a place not visible from the outside through the glass wall.
"Let me think after trying to calm my mind. Self-Hypnos is the way to go! There is no one outside of that glass wall no one banging that glass wall no one there. Breathe in breathe out... breath in breathe out."
After a few minutes of her hiding behind a closet, his former colleagues stopped punching the glass wall and returned to the ongoing melee. She did breathing exercises for ten minutes.
"Okay now."
I was there working on magnetic waves and the effects on the bio-metal C3-2 and then everything went black for a few seconds, then the red lights... Oh, my communication bracelet was pinging stubbornly! , Dammittt Goddamn Carl ripped it off from my wrist. Thank god the lab doors don't control the bracelets or I'd be lying there in pieces.
The easiest way I can control what's going on is out of reach right now. I can't always be lucky. Okay, let's continue. After I was going left the lab after checking my experiment. Which is failed because of no power on computers. What if it takes a min or so? I think I felt a little itchy or chills? right after the earthquake before leaving the lab? and then everyone and everything got weird? So what's happening is connected with that feeling that I felt. That's the reason people started attacking each other? Damn my expertise is not on the people's behavior patterns and why they go crazy after they felt a bit itchy?
