The inside of the building was chaos.  In large part, this might have been because a wide hole had been torn in the floor of the lobby by the shifting earth -- it looked almost like the mouth of a cave, and the inside was a mostly-smooth slope downward.<br/><br/><em>Way</em>too convenient to be a natural earthquake.<br/><br/>One wall was starting to crumble a bit, probably due to the tunnel's unfortunate effects on the building's foundation, but the place looked mostly solid for the time being.  Alarms were blaring, and several security guards were trying to pick themselves up off the floor while another, still standing, was already drawing his sidearm.  Nearly a dozen people, mostly in lab coats with a smattering of business attire, were either trying to make themselves inconspicuous or just fleeing for the door.<br/><br/>Up ahead, though they were somewhat hard to see through the dust kicked up by the rising earth, three figures were rushing deeper into the building towards a long hallway to the left -- one all in black, one wreathed in flames, and one glinting metallic in the flickering light.<br/><br/>"Hurry up!" one male voice called.  "We gotta bounce before the capes get here!"
