ERROR. SECURITY BREACH. EMERGENCY SHUTDOWN IMMINENT.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

You awaken to the horrible smell of rotting flesh and blood. You open your eyes and you instantly notice the broken glass of the pod you were trapped in. Carefully, You lift up your hand and check for injuries, before grabbing a shard of glass to use to slice the cage like mask off of your face. It slips off nicely and gives you space to move. You cautiously lift your foot, slamming it on the rim of the hatch and forcing it open, shards of glass flying everywhere. Stepping out of the pod, you look down to your legs, your joggers ripped and blood streamed all the way down your kneecaps; It must've been a rough time. You look around, spotting all the pods full of bodies and gore. One of which has a body of a woman with a bullet-hole through her temple. You wince as the blood bubbles out of it.

The security message rings again, your ears banging with anticipation. You make your way through the halls, skeletons and corpses littered at your disposal. Finally, You make it to the door.

ERROR. EMERGENCY PROTOCOL IS ACTIVE. MAIN DOOR INACTIVE. 

You slam your hand on the door, hoping it will open. ' It's useless ' You mutter to yourself ' I'm never getting out'. You slump down at the door, cradling your head in your hands, Hoping you'll just drop dead now.


BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!

The door begins to open behind you, a pair of menacing teeth latched around the vault door. You launch backwards to the hallway, grasping onto a railing for help. The green tinted air beaming in through the doorway. The beast stares at you, it's eyes glimmering with a blue glow. It runs through the walkway to you and stops in surprise. 


' It can't be.. '
