Moving through the second level of the facility, the team found more signs of battle. A dozen dead and frozen soldiers littered the halls, apparently having gunned each other down. A heavy machine gun had been set up outside the secure lab, facing down the hall.
The secure lab door was heavy metal, but looked like it had been blown off its hinges. From the inside. As the team entered, the ghostly figure appeared in front of them again.
"Come," it whispered. And then vanished.
There was numerous pieces of scientific equipment from the fifties located in the room, orthodox and unorthodox. It was all smashed and ruined. There were several dead scientists on the floor.

[sblock]The bodies of the scientists look like they were shot by several people coming out of the elevator. They were apparently taken by surprise, as it appears they died as they were working.[/sblock]
The door to the artifact storage chamber was ajar. The elevator door down to level three was open, though it looked like the cables had snapped some time ago.

Upon coming across the heavy machine gun, Cade kneels down, so as to give it an examination. If it is still loaded, Cade will unload it and push the ammo away from it.
oO Better safe than ambushed Oo thinks Cade as he turns and looks toward the slain scientists.
"I bet it started here, or close to here," says Cade as he turns his thoughts into words. "They didn't know what was coming when they walked into the ambush."
Whatever else Cade was going to say is stopped short by the spectral beckoning, to which he nods and says to the group, "Better safe than sorry, folks."
Cade double checks his weapon, making sure the safety is off and it is ready to rock and roll.

"They came out of the elevator," Meredith says, peering around at the scene.
"The ones who attacked. Everyone was just, sitting...minding their own business when people came out of the elevator and started killing them."
She looks nervous.
"And now we're going down there too."

"It's not whether you're paranoid or not. It's whether you are paranoid enough!"
After the ghostly apparition shows up, Larry begins mumbling to himself. "Sure, let's follow the glowing green man. That's clearly a good idea." With a snort, he continues with his mumbling. "Why do I feel like I'm in a summer horror flick. at least I hope I'm in the lead, and not the plucky comic relief that get's killed in the first scene."

Nick looks at Larry and can't help but smile given the situation. He really did appreciate the humor, even if he didn't show it.
"You should be good through the first few scenes, anyway," he says with a smirk. "Let's get this over with."

Cade unloads the machine gun, but cold and time have taken their toll. It's no AK, it was never meant for long term exposure to this kind of environment. The firing mechanism seems to have frozen up entirely.

Meri shivers and rubs her arm absently...then does a doubletake and squints at the spot she was rubbing.
"It's in there," she says, pointing at the door to the artifact storage room. "This is...my arm..."
"I don't know if it's good or bad, but that thing on my arm is feeling kind of funny. That mark."
