The vault door screeches like a dying cat, and Butcher struggles to keep it open
long enough for the two of you to get through. Once he lets go, the thing slams
shut with a wet sucking sound. You'll have to take three steps down into
ankle-deep water. 
Butcher-
"Damn, that's what they meant about the waders..."
The corridor beyond seems almost excessively dark. You don't remember it being
this far from the heavy door. |

I shone the flashlight around for hella.
Colt-
"I don't like the door being such an obstacle. Whoever is on Timmy is gonna need back up, so one can handle him while the other works the door. Should I radio that, or just double back and do that shit myself?"

Butcher-
"Remember what I said about the door?
Well, uh, yeah, let's get something to
prop it, maybe."
Your radio was kaputt down here, way too deep inside. Butcher was shining his light around, looking for something to prop it with, but the corridor was remarkably bare except that oily water. Man it stunk... |

Colt-
"There isn't anything. C'mon, we'll just stand guard at the door here."
I went to re-open the thing. |

Damn that shit was stuck! Must have been the air pressure or something,
but it didn't even feel like it was capable of opening.
Butcher-
"Damn it, it's stuck, isn't it? Fuck me, I should've
known, heavy as it was..."

Please don't get claustrophobic on me, Joe.
Colt-
"Hey, really, don't worry about it. We wait here, warn the next people not let it close, and that's that."
I leaned against the wall and folded my arms, flashlight in a hand pointed down to the rippling water.
"You're holding up well. Hey, what do you normally drink?"

Butcher-
"Y'know, I'm not much of a party boy but
those flavored vodkas are pretty good. Even when they aren't,
you're too drunk to care."
There was an odd humming noise down here, you noticed once you'd both
stopped moving. Sounded like a gigantic metal coin spinning and never
slowing down. Thought this thing was out of juice...
Butcher-
Ever been stuck in an elevator? I haven't, but it sure
looks shitty.... Company's pretty good though. He looked like he was almost considering plopping down on the wet floor
but opted to lean on the wall next to you. |

Colt-
"This is NOT an elevator situation. Plenty of air in here, no threat of plummeting, and someone is gonna help us open that door from the other side any minute now."
I cracked my neck and sighed deeply.
"I wish people would take responsibility for shit. I wish 'you had one job!' didn't hafta be a common expression. Like this power noise. It can't be safe to have that on. Come on."

Other than that hum, it seemed oddly quiet. Wasn't that shrink like ten feet behind you? You didn't hear the echoes of voices or footsteps at all. Butcher walked to the door and put his hand on the latch, but wasn't bothering to pull or push, just thinking furiously.
Butcher-
"...You gonna call that shrink on me if I tell you something?"

Butcher-
"When I said I heard something... I meant...
I heard that lady screaming. Screaming so loud
that if you didn't hear it, it was definitely my last
marbles rolling away. Don't hear her anymore."

Colt-
"The heart thing." That's disheartening. JFC Colleen. "...Yeah that's some marbles."
I looked his way sadly, then off into that middle distance.
"We gotta get you out of this rustbucket. Fuck this place."
I looked ahead into the darkness for something that could be used as leverage, tried to remember the layout. |

Butcher-
"Not like I'm in much of a position to remember, but this
seems really... off. No way it was this big."
He shone his flashlight out, and indeed, that thing should've been touching
some walls, instead it just lit up dusty particles in the black void. There was
all this weird machinery before, kind of made a little maze, but it was right in
front of the door. You remember those CSI milling around it with barely any
room for you to squeeze in. |

Colt-
"There's just no fucking way... What the goddamn hell?"
I strode a few paces through the water and peered into the distance with a mounting sense of alarm.·

Butcher-
"This has to be the wrong room, right?
Like... maybe... the wrong door?"
Goddamn you got no clue.
Butcher reaches for the wall near the door, and starts walking
forward with his hand on it. "--If it is, there might be another way out." His radio crackles.RADIO-
" Butcher? Do you copy? "
Your radio isn't picking anything up at all... |
