Delilah's eyes widen drastically as it's revealed that Tasu is already in labor.  "Oh shit, we gotta get outta here now!  If you start really giving birth, they'll catch us!"  As she looks around in panic, Feign is a step ahead, he presses the escape button, causing the table, cabinets and entire back wall of the office to fall into the floor with a loud clatter, a piece of the ceiling forming a wide bridge to what looks like an elevator box.<br/><br/>"Well, crap, looks like I stay behind."  Feign can tell that there will only barely be enough room for the two nagas.  "Your egg comes first, Tasu, I owe your father at least that much...  but mark my words." he glares at Delilah, "When I find another way out of here, I will<span style="font-style: italic">hunt</span>you."  With that threat out of the way, he steps aside for Delilah and Tasu to get on the elevator.<br/><br/>---<br/><br/>The muffled yelling is further away and louder than Serene would have expected.  When she finally gets to the source, the sight is both surreal and distressing.  Some of Lex's face, along with her lower left leg, a right elbow and one breast are all sticking out of a wall.  Thankfully, her nose isn't blocked, so she can breathe, though her eyes are sealed behind the white material and her jaw is held tight by the wall surrounding her face.  The arrangement of what Serene can see looks a little contorted, but nothing looks broken.  It may take a little bit of digging to get the unfortunate scientist out of the wall, but at least there's still no sign of the slime creature.<br/><br/>---<br/><br/>finally out of the maze, Lance can instantly recognize the row of glass fronted cells that make up the main corridor.  Getting bearings, it's easy to tell which direction are the elevators, and which way are the offices...  Unfortunately, there are a number of figures staggering out of the office direction...  At first glance Lance might assume zombies, but the impression quickly wears off as it's clear that these are faceless and generally featureless.  They look alive, but the way they move is definitely brainless.<br/><br/>It's impossible to tell exactly what the hell is going on, but a horde of freaky clone things is absolutely<span style="font-style: italic">never</span>a good sign.<br/><br/>---<br/><br/>The climb is stupendously boring, though it's refreshing somehow to have a straightforward path in solid and genuine surroundings that aren't trying to puzzle the dragon into running in circles.  After climbing about six floors it's clear that what Wil thought was the top of the elevator shaft is actually an elevator car stuck in the way.  As he gets closer, it's clear that the elevator is stuck halfway between floors, and that the door below it is pried open, giving more than enough space to get through.<br/><br/>---<br/><br/>"You'd be surprised about the whole getting eaten alive and whole part here.  It's almost a shorter list of the creatures here that<span style="font-style: italic">can't</span>do it than the ones that can.  In little words, there's a lot that can eat you here, and most of it will."  They turn the corner toward the end of the hall.  Thistle looks around, trying to be subtle, though as soon as she notices that Mac is looking right at her, she drops the act and looks at him inquisitively, as if asking why he hasn't reacted.<br/><br/>As Kine approaches the end of the hallway toward the elevators, he stops...  Looking around cautiously and falling completely silent.  "You here that?  Like a scratching somewhere."  He can't quite tell that it's coming from the draconic warrior who is currently climbing up the jammed and opened elevator in front of him, but he's already starting to figure out at least the direction of the sound.
