You have to take the elevator down.  There are no stairs and no other way to get down. Initiatives:  Vince 28, Monica 22 (busy), Loki 21, Mantis 19, Metal Mistress 13 (asleep), Neutron 12 (very busy), Johan 7, Rebound 5 (asleep) JohnYou've been on watch for nearly two hours.  Anna hasn't given up on cracking the containment unit, despite nearly three days of her, Rebound and Johan constantly trying.  Cosmo is playing cards with you, and your dad has been lounging around, bored.  Suddenly, the scanner alarm in the van goes off.  All of you gather around and see a blip appear at the outermost range of the scanner.  A handful of seconds later, it's easily closed a kilometer, far faster than Loki predicted. Anna reacts first, activating the comm and giving a warning to Johan's team. "Holy crap, at this speed we have maybe 60 seconds before they get here.  I doubt much longer before they tear through the floor!" Cosmo exclaims with concern.  He quickly exits the van and in one smooth leap, lands atop the Anaconda containment unit. Less time than that is given, as the far wall suddenly buckles, filling the entire warehouse with the screeching sound of bending and tearing metal.  You see a pair of claws sticking through, and they start to move rapidly to create an opening, one easily large enough for trucks to drive through!  There are several containment units near the wall being carved up. You have two full rounds to act.  You are near the main containment unit, 150 feet from the outer walls of the warehouse. Initiatives:  Cosmo 25, John 18, Anna 6</blockquote>
