"Unfortunately, that is something I already know. Do you know how long it's been since I've been here?" She huffed, swinging open the door and slamming it shut. Quickly, the red-head sprinted down the hall, making sure the keycard was still in her pocket. "Can I have one normal debate, please?" Ezra asked, looking upwards.

As she reached the hall where the control room was she would see a lanky black figure rise from a black acid puddle in the floor that looked very similar to the black acid seen on the soldier in the ‘femur breaker’ room the figure was bald and had piercing white eyes... and it slowly walked towards Ezra creating another puddle of the black acid with each step it took...

Ezra held her arms in front of her, stepping back as the creature stepped forward. "Oh- How.. How are you, hm..?" She stuttered, attempting to swallow her fear. "I believe we met before- Well, not technically, but I believe I spotted the man you.. killed, earlier. Look, my.. my point is, we're friends, alright? Buds? Pals? I killed someone, you killed someone.. Mhm.." The red-head takes a deep breath. "You want to escape, and so do I. So, how about it, Cara?" 'Friend', she had called him. "We let no one stand in our way, and we'll get our freedom. I'll let you handle the soldiers, and you can let me solve all the puzzles. So, is it a deal?" She was hoping he- or, it- could understand, for she didn't wish to end up like the poor soldier..

The creature laughed as it reached out his arm to touch her as he got closer to her

She scoffed quietly. "Hey! Hey- I'm attempting to-" She took a few brisk steps back as it neared. "-help you! Is every living thing in here that ungrateful?" She, once again, held up the radio, swinging it back and forth in attempt to appear threatening. "You know, sir, some help wouldn't be so terrible, right now-" The red-head hissed into the radio.

The creature flung its wrist launching a ball of acid that landed inches away from her face the puddle and splatter of it almost touching her...

The red-headed woman yelped, turning on her heels almost immediately as the peculiar acid past her face. Prayers and curses flew from her mouth, but she managed to yell into the radio foolishly, "Tell me what to do, dammit! I said this before; I'll give you anything you want if you just make it stop!" She nearly stopped at the armory, but recalled the soldier. Perhaps not even armor would help her.. Besides, it was best if she didn't stop moving. The hall seemed never-ending, and so did her quiet screams of fear.

Ezra would run into a door at the end of a hall labeled ‘SCP-096’ and once she entered there sat a strange figure Paul white with elongated arms covering its face as it sat in a corner crying....

The odd creature wasn't the only one in tears.

Ezra, who was fed up with whatever the hell this building happened to be, had one of her hands over her face, while the other rested below her waist with a grasp on the radio. She was beginning to lose hope that she could possibly escape, so she was willing to stand aimlessly at the door until the creature noticed and took her life, or they both sobbed until their hearts content.

Karl chimed in on the radio “sorry our connection was temporarily disabled... are you ok?”

Startled by the voice, the red-head jumped, backing into the door accidentally. "I did everything you asked, but, somehow, I wind up nearly dead." Ezra sighed, running her fingers through her hair as she looked up. "I don't unders- What in the dear Heavens is that..?" Shutting her eyes, she tried to recall the number on the door. "What exactly is SCP-096..?"

Karl paused as the creature turned its head revealing a distorted face with a jaw that hung to its chest “don’t tell me you’ve seen it’s face...”

Dammit. The one time she didn't need her eyesight was when she carelessly had looked up and around, seeing at least half of the creature's face as it turned. Ezra muttered, shutting her eyes tightly. "Just.. a small.. glimpse.."

“Then run... it won’t stop till it finds you...” the creature stood up revealing it to be almost 7 feet tall as it covered its face and screamed like so: ((btw his face looks like the one in the vid as well)) https://youtu.be/6N-TOLCpcIk

And, once more, Ezra was on the run.

Only, this time, the creature was screaming while she was shouting what seemed like compliments. Breathing heavily, the red-head was racing down the hall the opposing way she came, trying to block out the creature's demon-like yelling. "I'm sorry!" The woman cried, using her free hand to lift her skirts off the floor. She wasn't sure whom she was apologizing to, but she continued. "I didn't mean to do this! I didn't mean to hurt anyone!" Fumbling, she rounded a corner into a room, not caring enough to shut the door. At this point, she couldn't care less if the creature found her or not. Slowing down, she faced the wall she had nearly collided into, unable to catch her breath.

“Do what you were told” a voice that sounded similar to the computer’s said over the radio “that is the only way out”

Eyes widening, the red-head looked at the radio. "Well," She began to hiss softly, "I'm sure if you were being chased by a demon who's most likely wanting to kill you, you'd be running, as well." Turning around, she slid against the corners of the walls, attempting to stay among the shadows. As she skipped out of the doorway once again, she was dashing down the hall towards the control room.

Having the room in her sights, Ezra ignored the warnings written in the blood-like substance and drew the keycard from her pocket. Faster, Laoch, she thought to herself as she swiped the keycard. Jerking the handle to the door back and forth until it opened, the red-head swung the door wide and shut it quickly. Turning to her left, she flipped the switch to the lever once more, praying for the best.

The following alarm would sound: https://youtu.be/rIos0ya-yss

As an announcement would come over the intercom “we are detonating the alpha warheads all personnel please enter the nearest helicopter or blast shelter immediately! The warheads will detonate in t minus 25 minutes...”

Immediately, Ezra whirled around in a panic before lifting the radio. "What the hell is going on?! What do I do?" Considering words about a 'blast shelter' were mentioned, the red-head guessed it wasn't anything to do with a stable and functioning building.

“Find a blast shelter or risk dying that’s all I can say... I have to get in one of the helicopters and get out of here!”
