The cryopod popped open with the release of mist and pressure, innards quickly acclimatizing themselves to the ambient temperature of its surroundings.

You would find yourself lying on your back, the memory foam gel densely pressed underneath you giving any indication of how long you've been out. Dressed in an orange and white onesie, you're given the distinct impression you were a patient, or a test subject, before this.

Swinging your legs over the side, you would notice the smell first. The cold bitterness of blood and disinfectant in the air. In the dimly lit grey walls of the industrial-type storage room, you could see bodies leaned haphazardly against the walls, slumped on the floor. 

It seemed you were waking up in the aftermath of a war zone, black uniforms and discarded rifles the only indication of who these people were.

Your eyes would turn up sharply. Hovering in the center of the room was [url=https://imgur.com/eeZCBnB]a man[/url]. Or a phantom. It was hard to tell, with the snake-like appendages curling around him. He seemed to chuckle under his hood, appraising the test subjects rising to their feet.

[color=red][b]“This is all they have left? You [i]have[/i] to be joking.”[/b][/color]

His laughter increased, pressing a clawed hand to his face. 

[color=red][b]“They really have been run aground, it seems.”[/b][/color]

He seemed to shrug, smiling from the darkness of his hood.[color=red][b] “No matter. You will all falter and join your failures soon enough. Unless you think you can dare stop the Flood that is coming.”[/b][/color]

Mad chuckling. He raised his hands to the group, before smirking.[color=red][b] “Good luck.”[/b][/color]

And just like that, the phantom disappeared into thin air.

[h1]VV[/h1][/center]

[hr]

She awoke like the rest. Listless and cold. Stiff from however long she had been put on ice and left to rot in this… This [i]place[/i].

She could only remember a few facts about herself, and her barcode. Her test subject designation. Her [i]dehumanization[/i]. 

[code]VV-007-G1A-01.[/code]

That's who she was. Nothing else. No name, no nothing.

She sighed. A bothersome mouthful. She'd shorten it to VV. As she stood from the capsule and took in the carnage surrounding her, she couldn't help the pit of dread that formed in her stomach.

[i]Just what happened here?[/i]

[color=red][i][b]”Good luck.”[/b][/i][/color] Said a floating spectre of a man before he disappeared, and his words only intensified the encroaching dread she felt.

That was when something caught her eye. There was a directory on the side of the wall, at the far edge of the room. She moved closer to it, squinting in the dim light.

[b]”Hey, guys?”[/b] She said to the others waking up. [b]“I think I found something.”[/b]

It was a huge map that spread across the wall. Where it was written ‘Archives’, there was a circle. Someone had written in sloppy sharpie, “Take the elevator up and you'll be here.”

On the far side of the map, where it was written ‘Cell E.5’, it was circled and stared with striking black marker. Another note was hastily written, “Safe zone.”

At the top of the map, there was a ‘Main Gate’. The way out?

VV stared at the map, then looked around her. [b]“We shouldn't stay here… but where do we go?”[/b]

There was, indeed, at the front of the room, what appeared to be an elevator. It only needed to be called via a button on the side.
