Delilah realizes that she hadn't told Tasu about that part of the plan.  "The front entrance has fifty guards and automated guns that<span style="font-style: italic">don't</span>fire darts.  If the whole place goes 86, however, every worker goes to the recovery room.  Plus the head of the recovery department has enough clout that he got an emergency escape put into his office."  Still in full charge, she grips the floor and slings her body around like a huge living whip, smashing the door in with all her strength!<br/><br/>---<br/><br/>It's not long in the fairy's stomach before Turk slides in on top of the tigress.  It's surprisingly clean in the confines of fairy's stomach, though there is acid drizzling in from the slick walls, there's almost enough room to stand and the pool of stomach juices is only about up to the ankles.  It's still a tight fit between the still spurting Turk and the slowly emptying tigress, but both can relatively move around and enjoy their last moments before the air runs out.<br/><br/>---<br/><br/>Lex immediately starts panicking as she's pulled backwards, "woahwoahwoah! I don't wanna get out of range! We need some kind of plan and we need to know where we are and the slime could be after us and we don't know what else is in those caves!"  Suddenly, Lex seems to have lost her devil-may-care attitude when it's looking like she might get out of range of being resurrected.<br/><br/>---<br/><br/>"ain't we forgetting the fox?" The scientist's raised concern as they walk back is a bit of a problem for Lance before it's answered.<br/><br/>"Nah, we'll send someone in with full suits, that kind of stink may be septic, I don't want to risk getting infected." the older scientist seems to be in charge.<br/><br/>They walk for a while before the wolf pauses, "One second...  You two carry the piranhaman, I think I've got something..."<br/><br/>"The tigress?  You want us to assist?" the older scientist answers while the wolf hands off the body to the younger scientist.<br/><br/>"I can handle it, just go before she catches scent of you."  The wolf crouches down as if inspecting an invisible trail, as the two go off around a corner.  He waits until they're out of normal earshot before talking softly, "So you didn't die after all, did you, fox." He looks over his shoulder, "I can tell when a scent is following me, and you put a hell of a scent on yourself."<br/><br/>---<br/><br/>Looking up, Wil can see the dust above trying to reach down to him in tendrils like massive funnel clouds, though each time the dust touches one of the lights, it recoils, almost explosively. back up into the writhing 'ceiling' that roils like a massive storm cloud.  Searching for an exit is more difficult than it would seem, as the lights are floating lazily every direction in the cavern, making walking around hard in places for someone as large as he is in his draconic form.  From the looks of it, the cavity itself is almost a hundred meters across and roughly spherical.  In the dim light, many of the shadows and dimples in the cave's surface look like they may be possible exits from the chamber.  Though all of them are distant.<br/><br/>---<br/><br/>(not exactly sure which way Greggory is walking, as you say he's not walking toward the exit, but going the way he was going to begin with...  He was going towards the exit to begin with, I guess I kind of turned him around so he doesn't get hurt right at the start...)<br/><br/>Nephanim balks at Greggory's defiance, and is puzzled as he walks back towards the recovery room, though it's quickly apparent that it was a good idea.  Before he can answer for himself, the door gets smashed in by a massive naga's tail!  The door itself flies withing inches of Greggory's back.  Delilah slings her human torso past her sprawled tail, rushing in directly at Nephanim, but the nurses move with lightning speed to get between their boss and the incoming naga.  It almost visibly disturbs the necromancer to see a familiar face here attacking him.<br/><br/>(Note: I'm moving Greggory's section up to combine it with Tasu's section in the next post to keep it all in the same place.)<br/><br/>---<br/><br/>Meanwhile, deep in the complex, ADAM walks to a door marked NC-LEVEL 5.  The air around it seems a little darker, though with the flickering lights of the whole hallway, it's hard to notice.  The drone places a hand on the panel and goes through the one-person airlock needed to access the room.  "I am here to report,"  the machine looks down on a straight-jacketed, blindfolded, ear muffed and gagged man who is sitting on the bench calmly...  his head tilts as if to look at the android, sending it into a bit of an audible glitch, "I a-aaaam here to report, sssir."<br/><br/>The pale man's shadow moves up the wall without any light source to project it, looking somewhat like an enormous black bird looming over the otherwise helpless man.  The very air vibrates to speak for him, "Very good."
