After waiting for quite a while, you decided to keep moving in the vent. Seeing an exit in front of you.

Dropping down outside, you landed in a dimly lit room. The only light source being from a computer's blue monitor shining onto the blood stained wall.

Walking over to the desk that had the computer on it, you saw a battery.
You quickly picked it up.

Looking behind the desk, you spotted a decipated dead body. He looked like a security officer.
There was a note next to him.
Picking it up, you recorded it and began to read:

"It's been I think thirty mins since the power went out?..I don't know. It's been so long. I've just been hiding in my room."

"I'm too scared to leave, I hear someone loudly grunting outside..alongside some chain sounds."
"The door is locked anyway.."
"I'll be fine.."

The note is stained with blood.

You looked over to the door leading into the room, it was on the floor. That thing broke in.

You felt a bit bad for the guard, but stepped outside into the dark hall. Turning on your night vision.

Exploring a bit, you found a room that was not locked. Entering inside.
Looking around, you saw a document on a table. You picked it up and began to read as you also recorded it:

"MURKOFF PSYCHIATRIC SYSTEMS
PROJECT WALRIDER
Mount Massive CO
Case Number: 136
Patient Initials: CLW, "Walker"
Consultations Dated: 2013.05.28
Initial Date of Patient Consult: 2011.01.28
Patient Age: 32
Gender: Male
Observing Physician: Dr. Rudolf Wernicke
(notation by Dr.Walsh)"

"THERAPY STATUS:

Morphogenic Engine activity plateaued at roughly 2000 ppm. Unsafe to progress beyond stage 3 hormone schedule.

DIAGNOSTICS:

Spirometry revealed light-to-medium bronchial accumulation. MRI scans consistent with patient’s reported dreams.

INTERVIEW NOTES:

Walker was interviewed in restraints, following his self-inflicted mutilations. Restraint have had to be altered to accommodate his enormous size.

Extensive dermal eruptions as consistent with failed Morphogenic Engine cellular activity. He claims the skin ripped from his forehead allows for a truer way of seeing, seems to have some boyhood experience with Tuatara Lizards and their parietal eyes. He has expressed anxiety about his flesh, specifically around his lips and nose. Attending orderlies should be advised to watch for further self-mutilation.

The mental traumas he sustained while serving in Afghanistan seem to be retarding progressions of the M.E. Process. His predominant fixation, amplified by therapy, is a manic exaggeration of military security protocol. A continuation of both chemical and physical restraints is highly recommended."
