Never thought you'd see an update this fast from me, now did you?
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
"What are you talking about?"
"You'll see."
"Why do you have to be so mysterious?"
"It makes life more fun."
"Fun for you, maybe."
"If you knew half of the shit we have to do, would you continue?"
Jill thought for a moment before replying, "no."
"I didn't think so,"
"How do you know so much of what we have to do, anyway?"
"Well why don't you? Weren't you people briefed on the situation or something?" Maddie said, dodging the question.
"Well how the hell were we supposed to know that there would be zombies and stuff?"
"Precisely, now come one!"
"Whatever. Wait, what?" But by this time, it was far too late.
They ran back (well, Maddie doesn't run, despite numerous failed from gym teachers and doctors) to room 002. Inside, Maddie observed the conspicuously placed book shelves.
"These book shelves seem rather conspicuously placed," she said. She put her shoulder to the left one and pushed with all of her might. But alas, no movement. "Jill, move the bookshelves!"
"Why, Miss Perfect not strong enough?"
"Obviously not!" Jill sauntered over to the bookshelves, tripped, and fell.
"Yeah, you just stick with tromping around," said Maddie, amused.
"I hate you…" was the muffled response from the floor.
After Jill got up and moved the book shelves around, the pair descended the newly revealed ladder. What they came to was a long, wide, and curved concrete hallway. Quite the contrast of the dim, rustic Residence above.
"Quite the contrast of the dim, rustic Residence above," said Maddie.
"Sure, why not?" Replied Jill.
After a quick examination, a simple box puzzle was revealed. "Right, push the one closest to the water in, then the one behind it, or in front of it, depending on you point of view, and finally the first one we saw."
"Why do I have to do it?"
"Hello, not strong enough?"
After the boxes were in place, Maddie began her observing. "Those boxes don't look like they were made well enough to not have cracks or holes in them, so it's odd that they float. You'd also think they'd have something in them."
"Maybe they were waiting to be filled."
"Perhaps. But another thing is when you walk on them, wouldn't you expect them to sink just a little, at least?"
After crossing, with absolutely no box sinking, they turned a corner and came to an incline whose lower point was flooded by water that appeared to have leaked from behind the doors. Now, apparently this was water was gun safe water, as the two went through the door without any hesitation. Once inside, Jill was mystified by the huge amount of water.
"Awesome! Last one in is a rotten corpse! (Apparently the place was really starting to have an effect)" She was just about to take off her shirt (though where she would put it to keep it dry was unknown) when Maddie yelled stop.
"What now?"
"You want to get half naked and swim in this water that most likely is a cesspool for chemicals and diseases?"
"Yeah, why not?"
"How about giant mutant sharks?" (A/N: Where to put the commas here, if any at all, is a very hard thing to decide. Are they sharks that are giant and mutant, mutant sharks that are giant or just plain ol' giant mutant sharks? As you can see, I'm just going to go with the latter, and possibly a sandwich. I'm starved.)
"Well if it had those I wouldn't."
"Well, they're right there!" Maddie exclaimed, pointing to the right. Jill followed her finger and indeed, there were giant, mutant shark. (going with different comma placement, just to mix it up a bit)
Without verbal comunication, they made their decision to run. Oddly enough, a human running through water is faster than a giant mutant shark. (Again, changing commas.) They managed to make it to a door on the far end. A locked door.
"Key, you moron, you have the key!" Jill managed to find the oddly shaped control room key and shoved it in the lock.
"I thought we were shark food!" Jill panted, once safely inside.
"Yeah, and you're the jackass who wanted to go for a swim. Lets just hope our legs don't rot off from that water."
They went down a ladder and into what seemed to be a control room. Hence the "control room key". Maddie glanced over at what appeared to be a schematic for the room. On said schematic, it said, "Incase of a drop in oil pressure control, open valve 3." In the mean time, Jill was busy looking at the controls. She found one that drained the water from aqua ring and tried to initiate drainage. At that point, one of the sharks rammed its face, snout, whatever sharks have, directly into the glass, cracking it. Apparently, Umbrella used Windex to clean. Or did, before they all died. A computerized voice then blared (along with an alarm and a red light) "Warning! Unidentified source of pressure. Locking all doors to achieve maximum safety!"
"What did you do?" Maddie screamed.
"I just tried to drain the water and a shark rammed into the window!"
"Whatever! What did that voice say it was doing again? This is a dumb mechanism! Where is the safety?" Finding it, she released it, then the pressure; all the while Jill was making faces at the shark. The steel covers came halfway down as 30 percent pressure was reached. Apparently, there was an unsafe drop in oil pressure. "That thing said valve 3!" Looking around, she saw no valve and looked in the halls. There it was, hiding in the corner. "Reaching 50 percent pressure. Activate emergency drain immediately." "Fuck." Again, the safety had to be released, but the pressure shelter worked now. However, all of the alarms were still going off. Maddie shoved Jill out of the way and drained the water. And I just realized that this was a very unfunny paragraph. "Hooray! We did it!" Shouted Jill. Maddie sighed. "Come on, let's go look around," she said, exasperated.
After some item grabbing, the were back inside the tank, only now it was drained and dripping water to the effect that it looked almost like rain. Broken, water logged equipment lay everywhere, along with a flopping shark that Maddie took great pleasure in shooting. They then came to an area that was lower than the rest. Here the water stayed, along with an absurdly large shark. At the very back was a little island made of mesh steel with some sort of equipment on it. Once on it, Maddie went to grab the key when the shark came to life, knocking off the key as it reared back.
"Shit, he's going to eat us!" Jill cried and began to shoot. "I wish," Maddie mumbled, and, finding a large amount of strength from nowhere, pushed the podium shaped control panel in the water and turned on the power. The shark reared once again, but this time in its death throes as god knew how much electricity fried him. All the while Maddie laughed madly as it rolled on its side and died.
"Oh, my god! Did you see that! That was like, the coolest thing I've ever seen! Do it again! Do it again!" But alas, her temporary source of entertainment was gone. "Damn… But what I want to know is how that stuff was sill working after being under water and how we weren't electrocuted as well! Damn inconsistencies! Oh well…"
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
That seemed to seem like a good place to end, as I feel a nap coming on. And the quote this time is:
"I'm magic. I'm a fucking unicorn." -Andrew, on being magic.
