There were affirmative responses. Dinah could hear guns cocking.
Another crash, the closest yet. The sound of rubble and concrete falling echoed through the underground complex.
“I thought there were supposed to be people here?”
Although I’m not sure he’s actually made it in yet.
“He’s here,” Coil said. “Last people inside, hurry. Close the first door.”
Dinah opened her eyes. They were in a concrete room with steel girders at set intervals, as if forming a cage against the inside of the room.
Seems like a reasonable design considering this room is a cage.
It smelled like meat that had gone bad.
Oh hey, there we go. Now it’s a real smell.
The second vault door slowly swung closed as the last few stragglers slipped through the gap. Employees, technicians, people in suits, some soldiers. They packed in close at the end of the room closest to the door, their bodies pressing against her. Three fifths of the chamber were left unoccupied.
Except for Noelle, I’d imagine?
We’re so close to the prophecy being fully fulfilled. All we need now is for the lights to go out, either turned off by Coil or turned off by a power outage caused by Crawler.
Come to think of it, it’s probably the latter. Many timelines were dark earlier, which I suppose suggests that the darkness covers the entire base. And it’s not like this base has windows, either.
