Igniting the wick with your lighter, you shove the end of the pipe into tne hole in the wall. Firmly gripping the pipe, you push up on the piston expelling the lighted fuel into the lab. Screams fill the room as the fire rises from the floor. You back away from the hole so you cannot be seen and listen to their calls for help. Someone cries out to round up everyone to help put out the fire that now consumes the nearby experiments. Within minutes, you hear yelling at the top of the stairs of the room you're in. From what you can tell, it sounds like at least two people run past the door, then back again. Shortly afterwards, you hear a voice shout out that the others are dead. A large voice coming from the lab instructs the others to kill the fire, then find the person responsible for their brothers death. All seems quite in the halls outside the room you're in. Do you want to take a chance now and leave the basement, or wait and see if they come looking for you?

maybe make a mad dash for the boiler room across the hall..

You are in the boiler room at this time. You need to make another decision.

there are stairs that go up just outside this door right? we've already been in the storage room and the records room, before that was a stairway i think. there were three doors on the right, 1st was records, 2nd i'm not sure, 3rd was storage. whats in that 2nd room? did we go there?

o man, duhhhhhh!!!! i knew that.
dont point. i said dont point! it was a mistake!! ok. fine, laugh if you must. i was gonna say the stairs anyway. yeah, huh!

You decide to go back up the stairs and leave the boiler room. Before doing so, you take a quick peek through hole in the wall. The fire is consuming the nearby table and is spreading over to the table with the three jars. You hear someone say that they've found some fire extinguishers, so you decide to leave now before they have time to search for you. Reaching the top of the stairs, you unlock the door and listen for any sounds coming from the other side. There's silence as you open the door and step out into the hall. You aim your light over to the second door across the hall to see what the sign says. It's another storage room for records. Do you want to investigate that room also or get out of the basement area using the stairs at the end of the hall?

hmm.. i think any time wasted down in the basement is just going to make it easier to fine us (him, and his many voices in his head telling him where to go), so lets head up, at least that is this voices vote....

aye, and mine . . .
