<strong>Sam Clarke, Running for the 2nd Level Stairs (13) from 10a </strong><br/><br/>Sam swore silently to himself as the dogs suddenly came running into the room. Attack dogs? In armor? He glanced at his bat, frowning. He had a feeling that the dog's armor would help to take most of the bite out of any swings he might make. Fortunately, none of the dogs hadn't charged directly for him, so he had a chance to make a quick plan. Sam looked around around the chaos that the Atrium had become, trying to think and move fast.<br/><br/>He spotted something laying by the stairs, which lead to the higher level, from which he could possibly make his way to the second or third levels... Sam hated to leave the Atrium and let the invaders have such a crucial room, but the room was getting overwhelmed and there was nothing he could do here. Back up on the second level, however, there was the armory, the med lab and all sorts of other things...<br/><br/>The sudden sound of guns starting to fire galvanized Sam into action and he ran for the stairs, scooping up the ammo clips from the floor on the way. He just hoped he could make it up the stairs and to the second floor without being shot.
