| MAIN SHAFT ELEVATOR |

Both of us stepped onto the elevator that Ada had ready for us, "TEN MINUTES UNTIL DETONATION", the words rung in my ear. We only had ten minutes to escape NEST. The doors closed behind us and the elevator started bringing us down. The way down was pretty silent, nor Leon or I looked at each other. I couldn't even look at the man who was in the elevator with me, clearly he was a different person than I thought he was, or maybe I was thinking this way because of my own beliefs. On the way down the elevator, there was a gigantic window that went pretty much all the way down so that we could see out of it, the gears that I saw previously under each area were now on fire.
The elevator doors slid open once it reached its destination, allowing us to walk out we walked into a new room that looked like a monitor room. "NINE MINUTES UNTIL DETONATION."

| MONITOR ROOM |

Leon and I pushed forward, in the room there was a ton of different panels and even a big TV that had a warning signal on it. A little further down there were a bunch of different TVs, some of them saying no signal, and others being busted. One of the TVs was showing a was strange woman. "Is that Claire?..", I mumbled, "Leon, I think that's Claire..from earlier!", Leon remembered who I was talking about and started frantically looking for buttons to press so we could possibly talk to her. "Claire!", one of the monitors on our level flickered, then it showed Claire. She started looking at the monitor on her end, "Leon? Valentina? You both are down here too?", Claire asked Leon, she brought herself closer to the screen on her end - we could see her much clearer on our end. "Yeah, but the whole place is coming down!", I spoke for Leon, hoping Claire would be able to hear me. "Listen to me, you need to get out, fast!", I rushed my speaking, I was sure I even stumbled on some of my words - but I wanted all of us to be safe and able to escape. I pressed my hands gently on the table, making sure not to hit any random buttons just in case. "Yeah. There's a way out.", she responded while looking around on her end. "All of us can make it!", Claire then looked back down at the monitor to see us - I could tell that she had a slight smile on her face. "Where are you both mow?", once again she got up close to the screen to hear us better. "We are in NEST..Claire, can you hear us? Claire?..", the signal cut out, I slammed my fist down in the control panel, shaking my head. "Come on, we have to hurry up."

| ESCAPE SHAFT |

Leon and I started walking out of the door on the other end, once we got out I realized that we were close to the bottom level and it looked as though we need to take some kind of ride down there. Once we started walking further down, one of the reactors blew up, causing a huge explosion."Shit. We just have to keep going.", We walked through a black door and into a room we were now on an upper floor level the floor looked as though it was made of steel and on the edges there was yellow railings there was a lift that we could take down. Once both of us were on, the lift immediately start taking us down. Once we stepped off, ivys started springing up and making their way towards us. "LEON JUST RUN!", I called out while running. There were about three of four that I had to duck and dodge from, but eventually we both made it to the other end of the room. We walked through the new black door, "EIGHT MINUTES UNTIL DETONATION." "Fuck fuck fuck, we have to hurry up!", I noticed a ladder that we had to climb down I went first then Leon went after me it was a really long ladder and it took us a few seconds to climb down but once we did we walked over to the new black door we were about a few inches away from the big tyrant from the RPD dropped from the ceiling, "Uh..is this a fucking joke?!", Leon called out to the tyrant. We had to duck and dodge our way past this, it was too late to use any bullets - we just had to focus on getting the hell out of here in enough time. Once we made it past the tyrant we walked through the black door, one of the ducts blew up - there was a zombie in the room but Leon and I quickly made waste of them with just a few bullets. We continued walking the path, another one of the ducts blew up close to us, there was no way we could get past it there was fire everywhere and no way to put it out. Leon and I turned around, the tyrant was now directly behind us, he immediately grabbed us both by the neck and held us up, the both of us struggled to breathe while trying to kick out of his grasp. Another explosion popped right next to him, making him drop both of us.Right after, another explosion popped - making the floor beneath us crumble, both of us fell through the flooring. I landed on my side and Leon landed on his back. "Argh! Shit! Come on V, get up!", Leon made haste in getting up and grabbing my arm to help me up. Once we were both on our feet we made a run for it, we couldn't afford to waste any more time and we could definitely not afford to waste anymore time on the tyrant, we just had to keep going. We walked through the black door there was in front of us and to the escape shaft. On a table right in front of us was a joint plug, "Maybe we can use this for the lift right there.", Leon pointed to the big lift that was sure to take us down to where we needed to go. "Let's get this fucking show on the road.", I grabbed the joint plug and walked onto the lift with Leon right behind me, I shoved the plug into the correct slot and pulled the lever down.
The lift started moving downwards, that was where we needed to go.
One of the reactors blew up a big hole in the wall, Leon and I covered our faces from the smoke and debris that could potentially hit us. The lift started shaking, and it sounded like big footsteps near us. The two of us quickly looked around, not being able to find what was making this happen. "What..the..hell.." both of us backed up a little bit when we saw some of the floor above us was falling directly near us, once it did we saw the tyrant. Only this time he wasn't fully clothed, his top was off and he looked like William when only his arm was infected. "Holy shit..", I mumbled while not even realizing it. The tyrant made its way over to us and jumped onto the lift. "Bring it on, you sonofa bitch!"
