"Yep," Astrid squeaked.

She cleared her throat.

"What was that?!"

"Likely . . . not a human, or at least not anymore . . . there wasn't any blood." Liv said, standing and taking a few deep breaths to calm herself.

"We really should go inside."

Astrid nodded, disturbed. She hadn't noticed that there wasn't blood until now.

"Yeah, that sounds like a good idea . . ."

Liv continues walk towards the building they were already going too, staying near Astrid.

Kastel pressed the basement 2 floor.

A sign attached to the ceiling when the elevator door opened read "Low Classification Records Archive". The room beyond was a small carpeted area with a tiny reception desk, leading to rows of office spaces and storage for filing documents.

The rest of the walk to the containment building was uneventful. Eventually, the two agents reached the main enterance to the facility.

Kastel stepped in. He should probably see what they were up against.

Crow woke up and wandered about, on all fours, searching for a squad mate.

Liv opened the door for Astrid, peaking inside. Hopefully their weren't other . . . mist people in there.

Sorry guys, I've been focusing on work a little more the last few days.

The building, though it had been in perfect condition only minutes before, was now in a state of disrepair; machinery was deactivated, the floor was cracked, and papers were scattered across the floor.

The door to the circular room surrounding the Rabbit Hole's clearing stood ominously across from them. There was a door each on the two other sides, leading to other parts of the building.

The next few rooms were also covered in moss, vines, and roots, though none of them seemed immediatley hostile. One of the rooms seemed like a lab of some kind, though it was hard to tell with all the overgrowth.

There was no sign of anyone else, at least not immediatley. Only the office cubicles and rows upon rows of filing cabinets.

It's okay!

"What happened?" Astrid muttered.

Liv squinted at the room, "Maybe it's some kind of illusion? Or it was an illusion before?"

She walked a little further into the room, glancing at the two doors, "Which direction do you want to go?"

any signage around the doors?

She shrugged.

"I don't have a preference, so . . . wherever you want to go."

There was no immediatley visable signage, as if the whole floor was for the same purpose. Either that or the signs had gotten destroyed. The only lettering was of the door directly ahead, which said "TO ANOMALY SOURCE CONTAINMENT".

"Well, that seems promising enough," Liv muttered to herself, "Come on."

She grabbed Astrid's wrist and pulled her over. The door probably wouldn't be locked if it was a central route most of the workers flowed through, just she pushed on the door to see anyway.

Astrid wrested her arm out of Liv's grip and raised an evebrow.

"I'm coming, you know," she said saltily.

Wait, are you going through the door on the right or the one in the middle?

For context, the one in the middle leads to where you were when the fog explosion happened. I don't know if I made that clear.

I should probably just make a map...

I didn't realize there was a door in the middle and randomly decided to do the one on the right?

Matthew sighed. He hated taking charge, but Tim clearly needed it. "Cut the vines." he said. "And see what you can discover in the lab." He started cutting the vines.

@Ookla the Doomfrog

"Alright, I'll see what I can do." Tim said. He strode over to what looked to be a table underneath the vines. He started pulling them aside and cutting with his mostly ineffective multitool knife to get them away so he could see if there was anything worth discovering
