As the elevator slows to a stop, the ceiling of the shaft is indeed a somewhat tight fit.  Thankfully, there are plenty of supports, springs, and rails for both of the nagas to coil against and support themselves. as the sound of several booted footsteps pile into the elevator.<br/><br/>The first to notice the unconsious man in the corner of the elevator is Raul, though Chuck gets into the elevator and to the downed guard first.  "It's Ed Silvann, he was on level twelve...  Looks like he's been tranq'd, and we haven't heard anything from Saul on twelve, either...  We may have a full-on breakout down there by now."  He looks back at Raul, "I know you're new, but your record puts you at higher rank than all these guys, you get a second squad in here, and lead the team on level fifteen, I'll take these guys to twelve.  The overseer is really falling down on the damn job today."<br/><br/>Raul is a little surprised how quickly the rest of the soldiers arrive, making room in the elevator a bit packed.  As the doors close and Chuck punches in his authorization code, something makes him a little uneasy.  It's not until the elevator is moving down that he realizes...  "Wait, why was the heavy load code engaged?"<br/><br/>---<br/><br/>Thistle keeps riding faster, until she finally arches back in ecstasy, her whole body shuddering with orgasm.  One of her hands lights up with magic and she reaches behind her, grabbing onto Turk's balls.  Too stunned to cast any kind of particular spell, she simply pours life magic into him.  Turk's second orgasm seems to just keep going in a constant eruption into Thistle's womb, filling her to the point where there is a little bulge to her stomach.  She bites her lower lip and tries to take as much of the flooding seed as she can, but with a cry of pleasure, she has to pull off.<br/><br/>The tigress is treated to the close-up sight of Turk's erupting cock and Thistle's slowly draining pussy, neither of which looks like it's going to stop any time soon.<br/><br/>---<br/><br/>Lex looks like she's silently deliberating, "Well, if I turn into a slime creature, you can be sure you'd be the<span style="font-style: italic">last</span>thing I'd try to eat.  I saw how easily you put hurt to that last one.  In any case, I suppose you're right.  I might have the authority to alter the test...  maybe."  She walks over to the wall and knocks on it.  "Alexis Dean. Authorization 558A42 Requesting configuration panel."<br/><br/>There is only silence...<br/><br/>"Um...  Hmm..."  She starts to look a bit worried, "Ooookay, if they denied my request or if my authorization was gone, I'd get the good old 'no buzzer'...  I don't think we're even in the<span style="font-style: italic">system</span>anymore."<br/><br/>---<br/><br/>It's actually a little hard for Lance to tell where the lizard's bite landed, though the room seems to dim a little as it pulls away, a grim and toothy smile on it's face.  Everything seems to go numb and the last realization is that there is a lot of warmth on the lower part of Lance's jaw...  That the bite took most of his neck off and some of his good shoulder...  He can't move at all, and there's nothing left to do but trust in the reformation potion.<br/><br/>Meanwhile, in the observation room, one doctor recoils from the result of the encounter.  "Well, guess that ends that."  he pushes a button under the screen that shows Serene walking alone through the halls...  strange she hasn't found her encounter yet.  "Well, your friend just got killed by a horrible lack of fighting skill."  No response, not even a twitch...  The doctor's eyes widen as he realizes that the screen is showing a looped feed of the tigress walking down the same hall.  He opens up another screen to try to get her location, but she seems to have disappeared.  "OH SHIT!  Malfunction in scenario room one-B!"  Over the comm, he gets a response, "The overseer is down! We have problems in every scenario room except for 21-A.  It's like he's<span style="font-style: italic">completely focused</span>on floor 21!"<br/><br/>---<br/><br/>Meanwhile, in Room 21-A, Will is still being drained by the massive storm around him.  Visions flash more clearly.  The excavation of a mountain, a cavern map that somewhat resembles an upside-down pine tree.  there is a first-person perspective of digging through a tunnel, and coming to a vein of some kind of white powdery substance.  A cave in.  Men in doctor's smocks. then a smoky room with men in suits again...  Something about these visions is telling Wil exactly what this creature is, and giving clues to what or where this place is as well.<br/><br/>As he feels his own memories flowing out as well, it becomes clear that Wil has to fight this thing or risk being absorbed into it completely.<br/><br/>---<br/><br/>Greggory's plan is fairly good, until he feels the wall seem to curve in on itself as he walks.  Then in front of him, the door appears again...  clearly, this thing can manipulate more senses than just sight and sound.  "Open the door, or I will<span style="font-style: italic">make</span>you open it."  The hand that was on the wall seems to be pushed on its own.  His feet feel completely numb and stuck to the floor.  Greggory's other hand, the one that was in his pocket with the panic button, still seems to have feeling, and is definitely still under his own control.
