(OOC: sorry i haven't updated the thread. i was visiting family in an area with patchy internet service and was unable to get good enough reception on my WiFi hotspot or my phone for internet.)
as i hit the floor of the tunnel, invisible from the entrance, shrouded as it was in darkness, i rolled, hitting the ground with the back of my right shoulder, then rolling forward into a crouched position, bringing my gun up as i did so. a burst of plasma fire resounded through the tunnels, and i heard the sound of collapsing structure. fearing the worst, i ran down the hall, following my own directions in reverse, following the electrical conduit down the tunnel until i saw Jack, looking pale and sickly. it was then that i noticed that his vitals were all over the place: high heart rate, but low BP, almost as if he was losing a large amount of blood, but he wasn't bleeding. i noticed the crushed syringe full of green residue and quickly grabbed a piece coated in it.
"Jack, what-" i began, but was cut off by a loud rumbling sound. several chunks of concrete came down from the ceiling and cracks spread in a webbing pattern across the ceiling. i looked closer at the wall that had been taken down by plasma fire. "good news? Scare has left the building, and maybe the town. bad news?" i turned toward Jack. "that wall was a load bearing wall. the entire building is going to collapse into this tunnel, and we need to leave, now!"
