Upon passing the checkpoint, they've reached the main lobby of the Enforcement Sector. But they saw even more blood everywhere, along with dead cult members and a few dead demons. Blood on the flickering lights made it look like pure Hell. Now Kevin used his PDA to look up the map of the building.

Isaac: Christ. This is gruesome even for me. Where do we go from here?

Kevin: Okay, if I'm right, the Death Orb should be located in the largest lab. It must be here, in the restricted labs.

Isaac: Something about this doesn't make sense. Why would Dana be upset about the demons coming near the Death Orb? What does she want?

Johner: You boys might wanna move!!

That outburst got Isaac and Kevin's attention. There were ten giant demon spiders crawling out of the vents. Kevin killed three while Isaac killed five. Then they both killed the last two. But now they followed the source of the voice inside the human resource room.

Isaac and Kevin found a 20-year-old prisoner inside. Isaac's intuition told him that he's a member of the Chosen, except he's not a zealot. He's a slippery weasel who looks out for himself. Plus, he's a narcist and really macho. Right now, lit himself a cigarette, not even in the least bit afraid that Isaac and Kevin had him at gunpoint.

Isaac: Take one step and I'll blow your head clean off, asshole.

Johner: Do you see my handcuffs? I can't leave, even if I wanted to. And call me Johner, buster.

Kevin: Why are you handcuffed? Did Dana do this to you?

Johner: Pretty much, yep. She didn't take kindly about me talking shit about the Death Orb, so she was gonna have me killed later. Sooo, are you guys gonna shoot me, or let me go?

Isaac: I'll think about it. Tell me everything that you know. Tell me about the Death Orb.

Johner: And why should I tell you anything?

Kevin: You know who he is. And you KNOW what he can do!

That got Johner felling scared. He knows that Isaac is El Ray, and very dangerous. So Johner stopped being rude and played nice. His life was literally on the line.

Johner: When Dana rose to power, she commanded us to create the Death Orb. I was against it because I didn't trust this. When she ordered me and a few others hijack a transport ship, I tried to sabotage it all. But Dana didn't like that, and here I am.

Kevin: So, you're the one who caused the transport ship to crash. Now, what exactly is the Death Orb?

Johner: In a nutshell, it's a huge glass orb that makes demons go crazy, making them stronger and frenzied. And for humans, it'll make it very compelling murder anyone you see, depending if you don't have enough willpower to resist. Any other questions, dummies?
