"When I left the lab people were looked like running towards the exits soo there was a warning some sort of that I missed. So my "focus" backfired on me. How nice and computers not working either. So kind of electromagnetic pulse effect got mixed in that what caused that chill? That's why is Adam not answering more like Adam got burned down? How strong that emp can be to take out a Goddamned Main AI Complex of the Island. I don't think that place has no anti-emp protection. Something exploded and got Adam and the main power lines. Arc reactors? It's one of the higher possibilities.
Well, that explains Both Adam and Power outage. But not the people's behavior. I never heard arc reactor malfunctions makes people murderer. So whatever happened first close to Otawa. Second Not so close to Otawa Near Center but a bit far from otawa too so it should be Dougan complex? Those bastards were acting smug and all for 3 months.
If I'm correct those smugs did this. What was that idiot Charles saying about working on an artifact or something.. Being a lone-wolf in this place another thing backfired on me it seems. That dude was babbling on and on and on about some weird thing that he called an artifact or some sort of crystal? "
As Elizabeth tried to think of possible causes, a second explosion caused another tremor. While she was trying to get up from her hiding place, a locker that had loosened its connections in the previous tremor broke loose, hitting her from behind, making her lose her balance, and banging her head on the edge of the table.

When she opened her eyes and saw blood trickling from her eyebrows she got panicked
"Ahhhhhhhhh... damn I'm starting to hate this place... damn, my forehead is burning as someone put their coal. Shush.. stay calm stay calm. just a cut just a cut. and few drops of my blood that's all nothing to be afraid of. I'm still alive. "
She tries to stand with the help of the chair she found near her. After checking her surroundings.
"Oh well, glass still intact and no bloody murdering fools out there to take my precious little life. Well, I don't know what happened and how long I have been out. But it seems things calmed down at least at the outside of the lab.. no one trying to kill each other. I should try to leave this place and go up. Yeah, that's what I should do. Some other people should be "alive" too and not "crazy" either"
After leaving the laboratory, Elizabeth tried not to look around, but it was almost impossible not to see the dismembered bodies that once belonged to her colleagues and the ponds formed by the blood flowing from them. While trying to move forward as quietly as possible, she was making an extra effort not to step on the corpses on the ground. She tried to be near the edge of the walls, but in some parts, it was difficult to move forward because the edge of the walls was full of bodies. There she froze after seeing someone standing at the end of the corridor and briefly checking the way she came, she almost lost her hope.
She said, "Lady of luck is a bitch... leaves you on a whim... I think it would be too much hope to expect a painless death. "Her shoulders slumped as she accepted her fate, being too tired to even escape
When the man she saw at the end the of corridor started moving slowly towards her she was surprised to feel tears falling from her eyes. But it's much of a surprise when she heard "Hello there Miss Cunningham"
"I don't know how I should take your tears, since I did nothing to do to deserve them yet," said Harry to the distressed Elizabeth
"Should I call you as one damsel in the stress and act as a white knight ?" he smiles while approaching the woman that near collapsing
While she thought her stamina was nearly depleted. After hearing the teasing of the man. She got so fired up. Wanted to run to the man and give him a very hard kick to place between his legs.
After seeing the look in her eyes and judging as that fire would burn both of them he said
"oh please don't start yelling. A bit louder than this and we can trigger those 'Abnormals' who are good at hearing things from far. As the first "sane" looking person I saw I don't want our meeting to come to a short end with both of us running for our lives"
Elizabeth was happy and angry at the same time. Because the man keeps teasing her and warning her about the circumstances that they were both in. When the guy got near her she can see much better of the appearance of him and while he was not acting like other people she got suspicious because his attire is not one of the Ottawans and it was too clear and nearly spotless.
"Who the hell are you? How come you know my Name? That outfit is not Otawan. Is it not Dougan? Why are you moving around like that?"
Harry kept sizing her up from the moment he saw her. Elizabeth was a not hot babe that's for sure but she was beautiful and had her charms.
"Well you got that right," said while smiling. "I'm of the Dougan yeah but long story short. I lost a bet with one of your Otawan people and do some stupid errand job for him while he goes on a date. But I don't know who is the luckier if we look at what happened around here. And moving around like that?"
After remembering he had Emmy for information while she had nothing only her survival instincts
"Ahh. Do you mean why I'm moving around freely and knowing your name? I have the Emmy backing me "showing his wrist with a communication bracelet and pointing his ears
"so I know where 'Abnormals' are, Well at least some of them on this floor and not one near here since I checked the place while coming to meet with you that's why I'm a bit more 'relaxed'"
Elizabeth felt herself losing control of her emotions. The distance between them had shortened considerably as the man kept approaching as he spoke. She suddenly sped up and hugged Harry. While Harry's face showed a lot of surprises.
"There there," he said while stroking her hair. "I wish I could say it's over and we'll be fine. But the realist in me won't let me give you false hope. I'm sorry about that"
She made a fist and gently hit the man's chest a few times.
"These are for the teasing." after she stops hugging him looked him in the eye" well I could kiss you if you said to me "we will be fine" if you were not a realist. So you lost your chance their mate"
Both of them smiled at that. Well, Harry's smile with a bit of sadness mixed in, after a moment they both remembered where they are.
"Still don't know your name should I call you Dougan guy or what?" as she takes one step back from him.
"Oh, where are my manners. My name is Harry... Harry Kowalski Miss Cunningham"
"Well Harry I'd like to say nice to meet you but can we move to a better place. It's really disturbing to stand here with all the" with one of her hands pointing the mess around them.
"I need to get to Equipment Lab D5, with Emmy's help it's easy to find the way, but there are no cameras on the way to check if there are other 'Abnormals' or living. Do you mind joining me? "
When Harry said that Elizabeth showed a surprised look
