[centre][b]Dr. Soraya Mansour[/b][/centre]

Soraya had taken the lead heading into the facility, letting Imogen linger back and requesting Sam watch her back but stopped short of the entrance. She'd heard the gunfire, but as her eyes adjusted to what remained of the interior lighting: this was [i]slightly[/i] more carnage than she had been expecting. Observing the state of the corpses - the technozombies - she leaned to one side and set her heavy bag down and began fumbling for something in her backpack.

As they waited, she took the time to strap an N95 mask - wishing she had something more substantial on her person, and adding a set of protective goggles that went over her prescription lenses. "Safety first..." She declared before proceeding forward, her pistol now in hand. "I am sure the action team has cleared the facility very well..." She stepped over the first dead body, inspecting the face, determining the superficial injuries were - in fact - fatal. "... but let us be careful. Just in case."

They made their way through the facilities. Soraya paused not infrequently, to listen, but also to observe some of the corpses. Partly from professional interest. Partly to assure herself that none of them were moving.

Arriving at the fourth floor, she paused again consulting the IMSI terminal, that she'd left in Imogen's care, to confirm they were getting close. "Be ready." She said, looking to Imogen in particular before proceeding inside. She handled covering the front and one side of the hallway while Sam covered the other angle. It seemed there was nothing alive up here, nothing stirring.

She turned to look at Imogen and ask "Where is it now?"

The moment she did there was the unmistakable sound of sudden movement to one side. Soraya just enough time to turn so that she ate the flung piece of office furniture directly in the face. "Ah!"

Soraya's duffel bag hit the ground with the heavy thunk, her pistol landed with a clack, and then came the muffled sound as she herself was hit the floor. Well, her backpack hit the floor. Soraya was unceremoniously draped over it, her goggles, facemask and glasses all askew while she reached around and kicked with uncoordinated limbs trying to right herself like some sort of discombobulated turtle.
