"Oh- mhm. Thank you for being concerned, sir." As she reopened the door for what seemed like the thousandth time, she began running down the hall in the opposing direction she came from. But she didn't get far before she realized she had no idea where the shelter was. "Now, when you get the time to give a damn, would you mind sharing the location of the shelter?"

“Bzzt doors down and to the left... look bzzt nuclear symbol...” the radio then cut out again...

Nodding, Ezra attempted to pick up her pace, but only ended up fumbling over her skirts. She sighed. Taking a quick moment to rip the fabric of her clothing, she didn't notice how high she had torn it apart. Though, at the moment, that was the least of her worries. The red-head continued dashing down the hall, barely able to breathe, let alone see. Her head whipping back and forth to look over any doors with a nuclear symbol. Eventually, she was able to find one, and she pounced on the door as if it were prey, swung it open, and stepped inside with a dizzy and pained mind.

In the room were 2 nazi scientists and 5 facility guards who all stared at her as the blast door shut and locked... the room was a black stained concrete with a cushioned bench and a steel gray shelf near the door that had canned foods and water bottles on it... the guards were armed with STG-44’s and the 2 doctors had Walther P38’s

Sighing, Ezra set the radio on the ground, folding her arms. "Go ahead and shoot, if you so please. I am honestly sick and tired of this place," She shrugged lightly, ducking her head to gaze and the floor.

The scientists and soldiers did nothing though and sat on the bench and floor as the area around them rumbled loudly the bombs had clearly gone off...

Bewildered at the fact she didn't hear the sound of bullets, the red-head looked up. Did they know, let alone care, who she was? Though, her thoughts were cut off by the low rumbling, and Ezra held her arms against the door as if she were going to fall. "Uhm- I suppose I could ask what the hell is happening to pass some time?"

One of the scientists looked up at her “yeah they detonated the warheads so we’re stuck in here for a few days till the dust and radiation settles..” he tapped the large rack of food and water “that’s why we got this it’s enough to last 10 people for a week...”

"Why in all things above would they set off warheads? Did something go wrong, besides your strange science experiments escaping and nearly ending your precious lives?" Her eye twitched, and she ran her fingers through her hair.

“If those things got out they wouldn’t stop at us... they would destroy everything in their path....” the scientist looked up at Ezra “we are not the enemy...”

"You think I haven't figured that out? I nearly died when facing those.. those things!" The red-head sighed, meeting eyes with the scientist as he looked at her. "Though, I cannot say you are my ally. I am on my own, and you- the people who supposedly work here- definitely do not need my help."

The scientist scoffed “we’re the victims here...” he muttered as he drank one of the water bottles from the shelf

"We all are," She added quickly, studying the room now that she had calmed herself to the slightest, "but hiding in a shelter is not how we fix things. What has happened to your brave soldiers who dare to risk their lives? Isn't there a way to get the experiments back into their containment?"

“Yes and no...” the scientist said “it is possible but with the amount of time it’ll take... they may just terminate them and then us...”

Ezra sighed, stepping forward. Though, she recoiled and returned to her previous spot, nodding at the scientists' words. "I see.. Things are so complicated here, are they not?" She asked with a somewhat irritated tone, but it was followed with a light laugh. "But.. that one creature.. the computer- He seemed like he was willing to help, though he didn't know who I was. Could I possibly know more about him..?"

“Sure... he was created in Russia and became an extremely intelligent being.. so powerful he could hack into any system we had... we eventually were able to trap him in that computer device but someone clearly let him loose and he took control of the facility... and now we’re here...”

Her eyes widened. "In order for him to take control of the facility, does the lever in the control- the one on the left side of the door- have to be flipped? If so, what would he do once he has control?"

“The thing despises humanity... it sees us as inferior and that we must be destroyed.. so if he had control over the facility my guess is that’ll would try to cause as much chaos as possible...”

She took a deep breath. "If anyone asked," She muttered beneath her breath, "I did not try to help that thing.."

“No point in keeping secrets now... when the fog clears they’re gonna kill us anyway...” the scientist sighed
