- MTF Soldier 1: Anyone else feel that?

- MTF Soldier 4: Look at the blood!
The blood is receding down the hallway
- MTF Zeta 9 Captain: Command, there is a disturbance down here. We all feel like we're trespassing on holy land and the blood is draining down the facility.
- Command: How much?
- MTF Zeta 9 Captain: All of it.
- Command: One of you collect a sample and bring it back. The rest of you follow the blood.
- MTF Zeta 9 Captain: Okay. You think you got it Five?
- MTF Soldier 5: But I...
- MTF Zeta 9 Captain: Good, now get on it.
Soldier 5 scoops a vial of the blood and corks it.
- MTF Zeta 9 Captain: Got it Command. Head out Five.
- MTF Soldier 5: See you later, guys. Fuck up whatever that thing is.
The squad waves as Five leaves, walking back up to the light.
