We walk to where the Main Labs are, and start scouting out entrances. Aurelia finds one, and calls us. We come to the back of the building, where Aurelia is standing.  Just then, I wonder why Henry didn't show us any locations. I ask him before we enter through the doorway.

 "I'm just an intern. I started last summer, but I only know of two entrances, both heavily guarded. They don't give you access to any other doorways until you've been here for more than four years." We enter after Henry breaks the code.

 Once inside, I see linoleum floors and fluorescent lights There's an Employee of the Month framed photo, along with certificates and awards hanging on the wall. Henry guides us to a set of huge metal doors. He opens them with some small mechanical piece.

 The first things I see are computer monitors lining a whole wall. The lights are turned off, and the screens set the room in a faint blue glow. There are also quite a few metal tables lining two of the other walls. On top of them are all sorts of inventions and gadgets. I remind myself that a few of these must be replacements that Henry made. I notice that some of the computer screens are monitoring the hallways and various rooms.

 The hallway that we just came through is being shown on a screen. "Hey guys," I say wearily, "We have a problem." Before I can show them the computer, though, the doors bust open and I see someone whose name tag reads Liam Farrow, but that's my brother's name... He looks a little like me and my brother, too. They're coming for us with guns. We attack them. There are four people: three security guards and the person who's named Liam. We each come after one except Luna, but she helps me when one of the guards comes up behind me, and punches him in the nose. We knock them all out, but I assume that more are coming.

 We stay and look around at the equipment, and I open a computer file with information on the Chambers. I see a file next to it labeled 'Disease'. I open it, and find information on fatal illnesses, including Covid-19. In the file with Chamber information, I find pricings for them along the lines of fifty thousand dollars. I have to show this to the public. I ask Henry if he has any way to broadcast information to everyone here, and he tells me that  he's able to override the system and broadcast something onto every device that's turned on. I tell him what I found, "I think that the Chambers are being made so that the government can release a disease to the public so that people will have to pay to be frozen in them in order to live through the pandemic." We decide to broadcast it, and within minutes, more guards come to apprehend us. By then, though, we've already gotten our message across.

They take us into custody and tell us that we'll be executed in a week's time for our crimes. I find out that the man named Liam Farrow is my brother's great-grandson. He's also head of the organization. In a few hours, a group comes rushing into the Lab's extra room where we are being held until we're executed. They start protesting against the Scientists, all three hundred of them. They've brought weapons too, and I know they're furious about the lies the Scientists have told us.

                                                       

                                                               We overrun the Labs.
