Inside the small security building safe house, Coach, Ellis and Rochelle think about resting for a few minutes. But Nick gets uneasy because of the explosion that happened in the Containment Building and the dozens of the volatile containers and machinery nearby.
Coach: With all the excitement back there, we should rest here for a bit.
Nick: How about no? Look at all those generators and containers and shit. Any of those could blow up at any point just like the Containment Building.
Ellis: *whistles* Shit, man. Maybe.
Rochelle: Hey, asshole, could you not jinx us for one second?!
Nick: Just telling the truth. We are standing in the middle of a freaking powder keg right now. And what about that military chopper? It's got like fifteen different guns on it. I swear to God, if Searchlight 6 screws us, I WILL shoot him down.
Coach: And who's gonna save us then, Nick? Huh? *sighs* But now that you've mentioned it, I don't like being here anymore than you do. So let's get it on.

With the possibility of the entire Power Transformer suddenly detonating lingering around, the survivors move out and work their way through it fast. Perhaps a little too fast as Nick gets grabbed by each pinning Special Infected.
And for his recent behavior, Coach, Ellis and Rochelle are not particularly in a hurry to save him.
[Charger Voice]
Nick: Charger's beating my ass!
[thud]
Nick: Shoot him! Shoot him!
[thud]
[Combat Rifle fire]
[Charger Death]
Rochelle: That was mine.
Coach: Alright now, you in charge.
[Smoker Voice]
Nick: No! No! Shoot the tongue! Shoot the tongue!
[Sniper Rifle fire]
[Smoker Death]
Ellis: Mine.
Rochelle: Nice shot, yee-haw.
[Hunter Growls]
[AK-47 fire]
[AK-47 clicks]
Nick: Gotta reload!
[Hunter Voice]
Nick: GET GET GET! GET IT OFF ME!
[Combat Shotgun fire]
[Hunter Death]
Coach: I got it.
Ellis: Yeah, nice!
But just as Coach lets a Jockey get Nick, he gets sloppy by missing it after shoving it off the Gambler's back. As a result, the High School Teacher ends up getting jumped and losing his Bile Bomb, First Aid Kit and Pain Pills.
[Jockey Voice]
Nick: Jockey! Jockey! Shoot this thing off my back!
Coach: *shoves* *laughs*
[Combat Shotgun fire]
[Combat Shotgun clicks]
[Jockey Voice]
Coach: Jockey on my back! Argh, get this thing off my back! *gasps* Did you just steal my shit?! Get back here!
[AK-47 fire]
Nick: Watch out!
Unfortunately, more Nuclear Zombies move to overrun Coach, allowing the Jockey to escape. Yet despite the beating he took, Nick still provides lookout and fire support.
After surviving the Special Infected attack and a Random Horde Event, the team regroups and carries on forward. Taking out two more Acid Spitters along the way.
Rochelle: It's just like the Sugar Mill and its Witches. There's more God damn Spitters here than anywhere else.
Ellis: All that nuclear energy fueling up the Spitters. That's just a damn shame.
A minute and a half of searching around later and the entrance to the power station's cooling tower area is in sight. Next to it is another safe house which is a CEDA mobile command center.
Nick: Safe house in that CEDA trailer. *scoffs* CEDA. A big load of help? More like a big load of bullshit.
Coach: Hey Nick, is that another Smoker up there?
Nick: Where?!
Coach: *laughs*
Ellis and Rochelle: *laughing*
Nick: Yeah, real funny. Come on, get inside.
[safe house door closes]
Coach: Baby, that is how that's done!
We're safe... for now.
