The girl shakes her head. " Not here, it's too exposed. The armory is just up the hall." She looks apprehensively down the corridor. " That's where it...they were living. I thought if it was dead..."

"Armory?" Mir says hopefully. He offers the girl his hand. "Come on, if there's some guns I'm all for it and so far I'm 3 for 3 with these things."

Asyd slowly stepped into the street, and shambled across to the adjacent building, doing her best to mimic the zombies' movements.

Mir

She nods. " It's where I found this," she said, holding up the power knife. " And where I found one of them." She cradles her injured arm to her chest, ignoring Mir's offered hand. As she starts walking, she faintly mutters " Could have handled them if I'd found a shotgun..."

The end of the hall comes into sight, a set of elevator doors standing ready. Off to the side a heavy, reenforced door stands ajar, a sign above it proclaiming " Armory."

Asyd
0005

None of the creatures in the street pay Asyd the slightest mind, or seem in any way aware of her. Through the glass doors of the building, she sees what looks to be a supermarket, rows upon rows of shelves lining the floor...and several undead abominations shambling aimlessly about inside.

Asyd kept up the routine, trying to appear to randomly and slowly push through the door to the market.

Asyd
0006

Only one of the creatures within the store even looked towards the doors as Asyd came in, it's wide eyes staring blankly for several seconds before it's gaze drifted back to the floor before its feet. The store was large, containing a dozen different rows of shelves on the floor, and along each bit of wall space. While most of the space was given over to food and drink, there was a small section on the far right for various kitchen gear.

Asyd slowly shambled down an aisle, heading away from the zombies; as she walked, she checked the contents of the shelves.

[Lighthawk]

Asyd

The aisle contained mostly canned fruit and vegetibles, stacked in neat, ordered rows. Asyd could hear the shuffling footsteps of the zombies in the aisle running alongside hers. Directly ahead, passed the end of the rows of shelves, was the meat department. It was clustered with the undead, the foul beasts sniffing around the packages. Upon catching the whiff of flesh, they would snatch up the containers and tear into them with their teeth, messily consuming the raw meat within, getting as much on the floor as down their gullets.

As carefully as she could, Asyd grabbed five cans from the shelf, and quietly put them in her backpack before shambling back to head to a different section of the store.

The hallway outside the room seems to be made of poured ceramic, though it is hard to say for certain as it is outrun with creeping vines that wrap about the floor, walls, and ceiling in a tight web, leaves as wide as a man's hand growing from stalks. Here and there flowers bloom with sickly, pale petals, and inch long thorns running down their stems.

The hallway runs straight for about 30 meters before dividing into a pair of stairs, one leading up, the other down, both in tight spirals.

Gaius 0002

Gaius studies the plants and the hallway for a few moments before noticing there smell and tendrils. Hitting upon an idea he returns to the room and hacks off a foot from one of the zombies and returns to the doorway.

Hope this isn't a waste of time.

Offering a short prayer to the Emperor he heaves the foot down the hallway as hard as he can, aimed at one of the flowers.

"Let's see what happens." He mutters to himself as he crouches down behind the door frame, peering out to see what reaction his assault gets.

[Lighthawk]

Asyd
0007

As she heads back down the aisle, Asyd hears a soft whisper of breath, completely unlike the wheezing bellows of the zombies, coming from somewhere over her head.

Gaius
0003

As soon as the foot contacts the flower's tendrils there is a muffled sounding "Foomp!" and a great cloud of what seems to be pollen bursts out of the plant. The chemical smell grows several times stronger, and Gaius starts to feel light headed even at a distance.

Asyd carefully thumbed the selector on the autorifle to semi-auto burst before slowly aiming upward...

[Lighthawk]

Asyd
0007

Clinging to the ceiling was a man shaped creature, it's flesh withered and blackened looking. It's neck was grotestly twisted nearly 180 degrees around to let it gaze at Asyd. Only its gleaming red eyes could be seen under the heavy shadow its long, greasy hair cast on its face. Letting go of the ceiling, it twisted in mid-air like a cat, bringing clawed hands and feet around as it fell.

The creature landed hard on Asyd even as she tried to leap out of the way, its weight slamming her to the floor, trapping the gun between them. It leaned over her, oily hair leaving sickening tracks across her face as it drew closer to her, lips parting in a grim, twisted leer.

The end of the hall comes into sight, a set of elevator doors standing ready. Off to the side a heavy, reenforced door stands ajar, a sign above it proclaiming " Armory."

0022

"I don't doubt you could have."

0026

Mir motions the girl to stay behind him as he brings up his shotgun. He briefly glanced at the elevator at the end of the hallway but focuses on the door marked armory. Approaching slowly he carefully listens and looks for anything amiss.

[Lighthawk]

Mir
0026

No sound drifts from within the room. As he draws nearer, Mir's view point lets him see the opposite wall through the doorway, which is lined with tall lockers, all but three closed. Coming up to the door entirely, he can see most of the room lays in ruin, the weapon racks having been torn from the walls and smashed. Opposite the lockers, a vault is set into the wall, with a palm scanner and keypad set in the heavy looking metal of the door.
