Alarms blare out inside the bunker, hallway lights turned red, and screams of agony echo.
Gun shots echo in the halls as the last defense of humanity fights for the survival of their species.
Soldiers position them selves behind metal centimeters thick. They fire round after round after round of .50 caliber, almost deafening themselves in the prosses.
All the blastdoors lock, two meter thick doors built from the strongest alloy of metal available.
The aliens, however, didn't care how thick or advanced their enemy were, they will still win this war by quantity of their armies.
As these happen, a man in a uniform of a scientist runs across the hallways, turning left and right as he did so.
He carried a briefcase colored in black and made of metal, its weight taking a toll on the man's body as he ran to his destination.
He runned for a long time, but he finally reached his destination. It was a blast door guarded by two dozen guards armed with .50 auto rifles.
He prepares his ID as he runs towards the control boot for the blast door, fixing his hair and clothes.
he gives his ID to the guard in the booth. As the guard looks at the ID and the scientist, he quickly nods and orders the blast door to be opened.
The scientist didn't bother taking his ID back because he knew that his life would end soon before he would need it again.
The scientist was then escorted by three guards as they walked past the door and deeper into the bunker of "Eve's Rest" dug deep inside Mt. Everest.
Two of the guards go back to the entrance, leaving the scientist and a single guard to the test chamber.
The blastdoor closes, and the emergency locking procedure activates. The two men look at the door as it is fused shut by robotic welders.
Scientist: "Point of no return."
Soldier: "May god be with the people outside."
The two men say their words before they continue their path.
The walls made of metal are painted black, with the lights flickering as the ground shakes beneath the two men.
They walk through a dozen more blastdoors and lifts that carry the two men lower into the earth, with the shaking increasing in frequency and intensity as the aliens outside the bunker attempt to brake in
The two men are met by one last door. This one, however, is a vault door with multiple bolts and hatches locking the vault in place.
A phrase welded into the metal exterior of the vault, each letter in a medieval font.
"I am the way into the city of woe,
I am the way into eternal pain,
I am the way to go among the lost.
Justice caused my high architect to move,
Divine omnipotence created me,
The highest wisdom, and the primal love.
Before me, there were no created things
But those that last forever—as do I.
Abandon, all hope you who enter here."
