Portman and Kid make their way toward the airlock. Kid was in front, trying to focus on the mission. Portman followed the Kid, watching him try to focus his head. Portman smirked at Kid's uneasiness. The Kid was a fucking wuss, everyone knew it.

"It's messed up right?" Portman smirked. Why not work the Kid a bit? "Guy like Carmack, trained to put logic over emotion, is so freaked he rips off his own ear? Gotta tell ya, shit like that gets under your skin." He stopped by the Kid and leaned over his shoulder.

"Do you um..." Kid stammered. "Do you have any?"

"Do I have nay?" Portman repeated. He chuckled and walked past the Kid a few paces. He turned back to look as the Kid. "What?"

"You know." Kid said. He hated turning to Portman for help. All he ever did was criticize him and give him a hard time. "I'm just a little shook up. I need something to get my focus. My game face."

Portman smirked. He reached into one of his vest pockets and pulled out a small bottle. Kid held out his hand as Portman popped the top and dropped two neon green pills into the Kids hand. Portman put the bottle back into his pocket as Kid downed the pills quickly. They took up their weapons again and continued through the corridor.

Not far from their previous position was a door, labeled 'Locker Room'. Portman pushed the door open and Kid entered first. Portman entered close behind him and took lead. They walked through the clear path between the sets of lockers along the walls. The walkway led to a corner section of lockers, only accessible through a four-foot wide entrance.

Portman eased himself around the corner and looked into the center. "Holy Shit." He whispered. He turned back to Kid and smiled. "There is a god."

Kid frowned. What the hell was Portman talking about. He walked up behind Portman and looked over his shoulder.

Within the walls of the corner lockers stood a tall brunette woman. He back was to them, but that was not what Portman's comment was referring to. He had been referring to the fact that said brunette was completely naked and seemed oblivious to their presence.

Kid gapped at the woman in front of them. Even from behind, she was very attractive. He quickly shook off the shock and cleared his throat. "Ma'am?"

The woman's head turned slightly in their direction.

"Excuse me, ma'am?" Kid repeated.

It happened in a split second. The woman spun at them with incredible speed. She raised her hand, holding a large knife and charged them. Portman and Kid instinctively raised their weapons and opened fire on the woman. Bullets cut through the naked woman's body, sending her falling to the floor dead.

After the initial shock had worn off, Portman got a better look at the woman lying on the ground. "Sarge, I think we found the rest of that arm."

The woman's left arm had been several just below the elbow joint.

Duke had Carmack's right arm over his shoulder. Sam walked in front of them as they made their way to the infirmary. They'd been joined along the way with a Doctor Susan Willets. She was a small woman with Asian type qualities. She stood on Carmack's left, taking the second half of his weight from Duke.

Sam stopped at a panel to Duke's left. Duke stopped with her and inspected the wall. His stomach churned with uneasiness as he examined the solid grey wall.

"No. No, no. I don't do nanowalls." Duke said.

Sam turned to him, punching in her code without looking. "Yes you do."

The grey wall in front of them became transparent, allowing them to see a slightly warped version of the infirmary behind it.

Duke turned to Dr. Willits. "You got him?"

Willits nodded, taking Carmack's full weight on her.

Duke took up his weapon and walked to the nanowall. He paused outside the wall, trying to muster up the balls to walk through the wall. He couldn't back out, not with Sam Grimm right there. Wussing out would definitely not get him any action later on. He took a deep breath and mutter. "Shit." before walking through the wall.

Past the nanowall, Duke quickly scouted the infirmary. He saw nothing threatening. He lowered his weapon and turned to the nanowall, signaling Sam to enter. Sam and Susan entered the infirmary quickly. Sam solidified the nanowall before going to work. Susan and Duke helped Carmack over to one of the gurney's and heaved him up. Sam pulled over a cart and pulled on a pair of gloves.

"Did you find the others?" Susan asked.

Sam shook her head. "Not yet."

"My husbands with them." Susan explained.

Sam paused a moment before looking up at Doctor Willits. "I'm sure Steve's fine."

Susan nodded slowly.

Sam looked down at Carmack on the gurney. "Doctor Carmack I'm going to take your blood pressure."

Sam pulled the Velcro from the wrap and grabbed Carmack's arm. Suddenly Carmack sprang to life, lurching up at Sam. He grabbed her shoulder, pulling her toward him. Duke's gun came up fast and Doctor Willits jumped.

"Hey." Duke called.

"It's okay." Sam said.

"Feed." Carmack whispered.

"What happened in there?" Sam asked.

Carmack was easing back onto the gurney. "Shut it...shut it down. Shut it down."

Sam frowned.

"It's inside?" Carmack mumbled.
