Chapter 2: Crazy people trying to be smart

"O man I can't believe I went into the female washroom twice, maybe the male washroom was the little guy without the skirt?"

I made my way to grid kilo 45, once down there, I found Sgt. Harmen, about 24, recently shaved, blue eyes, black hair, armed head to toe……..asleep on the desk.

"Uhhhh, Sgt. Harmen?"

He woke so fast it startled me; he then proceeded to pull out a gun and shoot randomly around.

"I guess the coffee machine is good…."

"Don't do that to a guy, I could accidentally shoot my superior or something….hey what a pleasant thought."

"Uh yeah…..you're supposed to give me my gear?"

"O yeah, your Phil the new guy, well here you go!"

Harmen hands me light body armor, 12.56 caliber assault rifle, an everlast flashlight apparently a victim of advertisings a helmet with a HUD, and a .45 handgun.

"Be careful down there, we were recently losing men down there, and kept sending men after them, and they disappeared too, but we stopped losing men after while"

"You mean you found them?"

"No, we stopped caring"

"Ok…..I'm off, see ya around Harmen!"

He was already asleep on his desk again, with gun in hand, that would suck if that were bullet proof glass, hehehehehe.

After donning my gear, I made my way up a long engineer hallway, all black and smoky, and very dark, passed a couple engineers playing poker, and a couple fixing power couplets, and a couple arguing about whose coffee that was on the table, wow must be some good stuff.

I finally got to Prof. Gotte Miilc, who was nervously tapping away at his keyboard, and looking over his shoulder, he almost screamed when he saw me.

"Am I really that scary, or is everyone drinking a lot of coffee?"

"No, it wasn't you or the coffee, you just startled me, that's all"

"Yeah, I have that effect on people, especially the boss"

"Yes, well, I must get this distress signal out before-"

A half earthquake and half thunder happened and we both paused and looked at each other.

"I must move quickly"
"why, what's happening?"

"It's the demons, I should know, I built there cage"

"Really, was it like animal cage with straight bars, cause that doesn't that doesn't hold them that well"

All of the sudden, the room filled red, with crazy symbols on the wall, all the sudden a flaming skull appeared, and neatly decapitated the professor, he then looked at me.

"Wow…..do you do garden shrubs, my wife's been after me about those things, but I hate to do it"

The skull then came speeding at me, and I barely had enough time to dive out of the way, it then ran into a fire extinguisher, igniting it and blowing up both the extinguisher, and the skull.

"Ha, not so smart now are you, huh!"

I stood up and hit my head on a pole above me with a "clang"

"Stupid….place…for a pole"

I then ran out of the room, and started towards the elevator.
