Curtains#2 - It Came From Below!

"This isn't possible," Dr. Linderman says as he backs away from the window. He appears to be in something close to a state of shock. "Nothing can grow at that kind of rate."

"Just as no kids can change his body in a swarm of spiders. It's must be affected by the Curtain and be unique in his kind, but we have to regroup everyone and find a way out FAST"

That's what I was checking out before I did the face plant into the door. He tells her as he listens to the cracking and popping. That can't be good, he thinks. We might have a situation here, I think it would be best if you came with me. Is there anyone else with you or anyone else working here that you know of?

If she is alone then he will escort her back up to the others, if not he will go get them and then lead them all back.

"Doctor, I really hate to discount your theory, but - " Fate said then pointed out the window.

"Jorgi, I won't let you get killed by a fungus," Professor Fate said. "How much time on those files and can it be done on its own? We're getting to the point where we have to leave very, very soon."

"Doctor, do we have roof access? Also, is there a way in or out of this building that Paul would not have known about?" Professor Fate asked.

Jorgi pauses for a moment, trying to come up with an estimate. "Wellitwilltaketheharddriveatleastfifteenminutestoupload. Butmostofthegoodstuffshouldbedonefirst. Ohandit'lltakeanotherfiveminutesorsotobesurethatitfoundallthedeletedfiles."

"Uh, that's a good question," Dr. Linderman says. "I'm pretty sure that there is a restricted access thirteenth floor in this building that is used mostly for storing old equipment and such. I imagine there must be some way to get on the roof from up there.

"As for other ways in or out, I can't think of any that Paul wouldn't know."

"I'm the only one in my lab right now," she says. "But there are usually other people in the building at this time of night. Other students working on projects, especially now that it's getting near end of term." She looks down at her watch. "If I had to guess, I'd say there are probably a dozen other people scattered throughout the building.

"Oh, and I should really grab my purse and lock up the lab." She turns to hurry back down the hall.

Is there any way to contact those other people quickly? He says following her.

Make this quick, we might not have a lot of time.

"Uh, I'm not sure," Mai says. "No, wait! The building does have some sort of intercom. It's rarely ever used, but I have heard it a couple times. Must be some sort of console for it. Probably in the building's main office down on the first floor."

With Granite in tow, she hurries through a lab and grabs a backpack off a desk. He can't begin to guess at the purpose of the lab - just a variety of chemicals, computers, and other electronic equipment. She prods Granite back out of the lab, turning off the lights and closing the door behind her.

"To the office, then?" Mai asks. "I can show you the way if you want."

Fate was getting nervous waiting for Granite. He looked to Jorgi, "You can fly, right? Stay here and continue working on the computer - we may need that data as soon as possible. If there is trouble, make your way to the roof through this restricted access area. You should be able to fly from the roof, hopefully bringing the others with you - at least one at a time."

"I'm going to check on Granite, then I'll either meet you here or up on the roof. The fallback area is Andrew's car," Fate added.

Before he headed out of the room (Using Intangibility and flight to float through the floors), Fate tried his telepathy to check on Granite's status.

Fate finishes his instructions and then renders himself insubstantial. He falls straight through the floor, passing quickly through labs, offices, and classrooms. The lights in most of the rooms are out, but a couple levels are lit. He sees no one else in the descent.

When he reaches the first floor, he arrives in a hallway just a short distance from the lobby through which they entered the building. He hears glass shatter from the direction of the lobby and the janitor who let them in comes running toward Fate a moment later.

"Oh!" he says, skidding to a halt when he spots Fate up near the ceiling. "I'm glad I found you. Something has grown up blocked the doors. It's starting to break its way in through the doors and windows now. I think it has the building surrounded."


(ooc - Telepathy has a range of "sight", so Fate cannot use it to contact Granite unless he can see him.)

"Andrew, Professor, your are coming with me. Let's go!"

Lawrence start to guide the group up to the roof. If he meets any one on his way, he will ask to join him.

"We starts to gather the people on the top, than, we will see what we can do."
