*Taps my fingers together*
I've got a bad feeling about this...

@Webmaster

*Suddenly, a pair of wide beams of energy vertically manifest in the center of the room, one black and one white, stretching from the floor below to the ceiling at the top of the silo*
I think you're right.
*Scans the floor around us with a quick turn of my head*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Armed Forces>

Do you think they're about to launch a missile underneath us?? Wait, why is there a missile thing here??

@Webmaster

*Looks down to the new opening in the floor*
I don't think this is any missile.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Armed Forces>

I'm starting to think we might not be alone*
*Scoots up until my back's at the wall and the floor slides beneath my shoes*

@Webmaster

*The hydraulics of doors closing around the silo can be heard and the hatch beneath us stops after being nearly fully opened*

<Snipped quote by Armed Forces>

<Snipped quote by Armed Forces>

A firefight?

@Galvanize

It sure sounds like one. But who...?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Armed Forces>

It's bad form to tease another sea—WOAH, how did you do thaaaat???

@Webmaster

I... Don't think this is me.
*Whips my head up and to the side as a few more gunshots and an explosion can be clearly heard a few levels above us*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Armed Forces>

It's so unfair for the dangerous foreshadowing to leave us hanging like that! We haven't even gotten renewed for a new season yet.

@Webmaster

Is dangerous foreshadowing needed for that? Sounds like terrible work.
*I walk over the line to the black half of the floor, and peck my foot against it. After a few seconds the floor slowly starts to open at the divide, with the floor disappearing into the walls on each side as it moves*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Armed Forces>

What direction?

@Galvanize

Hard to say with the reverb in this place.

<Snipped quote by Armed Forces>

Do you have a way to see what's below it at least?

@Webmaster

With the scans I have access to, I can’t see anything.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Armed Forces>

Y'know, I'm starting to feel that building the base on top of a ticking timebomb wasn't the best idea!

@Webmaster

None of you seem aware of what it is or what it's for. I'm concerned about exposing it to things it wasn't designed for. It could very well be safe...

Myriad Reality

>no true free will

*Whips out a cordless jackhammer*
Eh? Ehhhhh?

@Webmaster

I'd be afraid you'd blow us apart if you excited the infused alloys in the wrong way. Warn me before you do anything so I can... Brace myself, if you're insistent.

<Snipped quote by Armed Forces>

*drops down and just before landing I stop with a small burst of air underneath me and softly stand*

@Galvanize

I saw nothing on the levels we dropped past. It might have come from a connecting room.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Armed Forces>

*Rappels down to meet you at the bottom*
Okay, time to see what's what!

@Webmaster

*Lands on the metal floor with a hollow clang, then stands straight up*
Hm...
*Knocks my foot against the floor a couple more times to hear the sound again*
