--Joel and Matt--
As you got nearer to the bend, you heard another scream, unintelligible again, then shortly after that, a male voice roared ”I NEED SOME FUCKING BACKUP!” As you turned around the corner, alerted, stretching your senses to their limits, you noticed a pair that would have been almost comical in other circumstances. A relatively short troll in a security uniform was trying to comfort a dwarf, who wanted to lift part of a marble pane from one of the bodies. The troll was apparently much calmer, but her voice also carried the shock of what you just experienced.
--Miko and Leroy--
As Miko tried to soothe Leroy, who was having something of a panic attack, they both had their attentions snatched away from what they were doing. Two shaken people emerged from one of the corridors, their stumbling about the bodies was quite easy to notice. And there was finally something to do, people alive, who might be in need, and this snapped Leroy back into focus, although a very narrow one. The two were both human males, one of them holding a taser in his hands at the ready.
--all--
As you looked and walked around, several facts started to sink in. It seemed that some automated systems were still working. The starting fires were being put out by hover drones. The shops were in security lockdown, but there were bodies inside as well. And most peculiar, even as people lay motionless, most could have been just sleeping. There was far less blood than you’d have expected, just the occasional case like the debris falling on the person Leroy was frantically trying to help, or someone cut his body on something sharp as he fell. There was something sinister going on, and a very bad premonition was welling up inside all of you.
