Vaccine Retrieved

Calian POV

"An incredible safe, am I right. Only I know of its existence," the doctor chuckled as the safe door slid open, inside the safe, are multiple racks stacked with cash, a few gold bars and no less amount of jewelry. What's eye catching is the conspicuous leather pouch that clearly stood out from all the valuables in the safe, not to mention a small phone next to it, probably the sat phone.

"Here it is, my babies" the doctor pulled out the pouch in excitement, gaping it for the public. Oh boy, look at that beautiful glowing violet! More than a dozen tubes of vaccines lay inside, protected and just waiting to be used. "That's incredible! Now how are we going out of here," Mikhail suddenly interjected and what he said is correct, vaccine's useless unless we could escape the city.

"Over here! There's a vent there!" Tyrell called everyone from the balcony connected to the room and pointed downwards. I went over to take a look and there's indeed a ventilation pipe leading somewhere. "Good then!" The doctor firstly said before shocking everybody by jumping down onto the platform directly in front of the ventilation pipe.

"Come on lads! Surely a few young bones could beat an old crook like me?" Is this old man challenging us?! He is, isn't he?! I immediately jumped down, landing loudly, my two feet supported my weight on top of the metal floor tiles. The other followed suite one by one and by the time Kendo got down, we already had the ventilation cover opened up.

"Who'd like to go first," I said, looking into the vent, seeing as it could only fit one person at a time and it's a relatively short crawl too, only a few meters in and we should be out. Everyone turned their heads towards Jill, whose expression seemed to look extremely offended by everyone's gestures.

"Alright, I get it! Ladies first right?!" She huffed and got down on her four limbs, not to be taken out of context if you catch my meaning, hehehe. She soon enough passed through and made it out from the piping, "It's safe to say that it's safe here!" She yelled from inside as her echoes, vibrates through the room.

I went in next, then the doctor, Carlos, Mikhail and so on until we've all gathered in this corridor. The first thing I noticed is the dark tone of the room, unlike the previous sterile white, this room looks more fitting in a sewer! Left and Right, the old bricks looked damp and very dirty brown, also this whole corridor is filled with gray tanks along with these stickers plastered onto them!

'FLAMMABLE', very concerning but over there is an elevator, our way out. GROWL!!! AHH! A deep loud growl resounded and Jill's characteristic scream followed! I quickly gazed towards the direction of the growl and I could see Nemesis with his tentacle out, chocking the heck out of Jill! Even if you're that obsessed by her, you don't need to resort to shameless BDSM!

Jill still had the will power and strength to tug out her pistol and began shooting the tentacle while the Nemesis approached slowly, all his interest invested into Jill and Jill only, wholly ignoring the rest of us! "Shoot the tanks!" The doctor shouted in the moment and Jill instantly reacted to it, aiming her pistol at the tank beside Nemesis, putting a bullet to blow it up!

BOOM! Darn my ears! That hurt! No shrapnel, no explosive pressure just the sheer intensity of the sound made my head go round and round and round in circles, seeing stars all over! "Come on!" Mikhail yelled, heaving me up, and leading everyone to the elevator, pressing the button to ascend it up to somewhere!

"That's horrible," I finally said after groaning for a while, I'm the nearest to the explosion after all. "This just indicates how urgent our escape schedule actually is! With Nemesis running around rampant for S.T.A.R.S, we ought to immediately get out of here!" The doctor urgently said, the panic unhindered from the state he is currently in.

"If you hadn't noticed, I was choked just a minute ago! IF anyone's most eager to get out! It's me! ME!" Jill pushed everyone aside and started hysterically shouting, her eyes bloodshot and full of the intent to kill! "Now calm down, we're here!" Carlos broke them up and I looked over him, we've arrived in a room similar in tone with the previous corridor.

"We can save the arguments later," everyone nodded slowly and approached the door of the room, going out of the room in order. "What in God's name is this place?!" Jill stared out of amazement once we've reached a walkway out of the room, this a massive chamber! Spanning more than 100 meter wide and more than 50 meter of height is some kind of arena?!

On the bottom most ground is a circularly shaped stage surrounded by 8 large vats with pipes aimed onto the stage. And obviously around the huge vats are numerous walkways, placed everywhere around the area. "Welcome to NEST 2 Disposal center where we dissolve and dispose of test subjects and unwanted research results with a special biological solvent, much more potent than your ordinary hydrochloric acid and sulfuric acid."

"You do not, want to touch the solvent at all cost," well then its great because the solvents are obviously in those sealed vats, and we're above them, even if the vats blew, we wouldn't get the brunt of it! GROWL!!! Oh no, I jinxed it, didn't I? Everyone was at a ladder and we looked around to see the Nemesis breaking through a wall and lunging itself towards the stairs we're on!

BANG!!! The Nemesis has landed on the stairs and its sharp claws directly sliced open the supports and the stairs began rotating downwards, hanging on one support beam! "Shit! Shit! Shit!" Jill shouted in rage as I fell down from the stairs along with most of everyone! The only one making it up the stairs in time to save himself is Dr. Nathaniel Bard, clutching his pouch in fear!

Everyone else fell on an incline and coasted down on it, down to you guessed it, the Goddarn stage! I really hate Nemesis!
