Zane Riddle
"Thank you." Zane heard the girl thanking him and turned to her for a moment, she seemed to be taking cover behind him which he didn't mind, "Don't worry, just stay close." he said and turned back to see if anyone else was going to filter in. Before he could start counting something happened though, apparently another creature, a separate one had come across them. Luckily another of the group, the man Ark seemed to be on top of it and he grabbed a weapon from the previous room, must have been the one he had seen on the creature earlier, it hadn't looked in good condition so he hadn't bothered taking it but he realized how stupid that was now, it wasn't the time to be waiting for a more pristine weapon. Luckily the man seemed to be able to handle his own though and Zane could tell this fight was going to be in Ark's favor from the start. When he moved in for the silent kill Zane couldn't help but smirk, at least one other highly trained combatant would be on his side. Of course he wasn't as thrilled when the thing took having its windpipe ripped out without missing a beat and he watched as the fight continued on. He thought about going over and helping but before he could make up his mind on what to do the creature was being tossed around once more by Ark. As he watched it be finished off by its own weapon one thought crossed his mind, very few of the survivors would be able to kill one of those things by themselves, they really did need to stick together.
With that he went back to the door of the room and looked out into the hallway, "Everyone get inside now, if they decide to move through that room to the hallway none of you are going to want to be standing around..." he said backing up into the room once again and trying to think of who all was missing. Of course he soon heard noises and he knew what was happening in the room they had left, not exactly but a scream made it clear. He took a deep breath and for a split second thought about covering his ears, he didn't though, listening to people he could have saved die... It was partially his fault, if he had have got everyone moving, done something else, who knows how many more he could have saved. He tried to hide what he was feeling though and put on an iron mask to hide his emotion as he looked at all of the people who had made it, knowing he had to focus on them and keeping them all alive instead of looking at those who did die and tormenting himself with what he could have done. Instead he would try and move forward.
Just a moment later the intercom clicked back on and he heard the captain speak once again, "They have left... The ones who didn't make it out of the room were not lucky, they were dragged away through the air vent system, you though were lucky... Once again good luck... I will speak to you more when you get to the control room. Oh and you may want to look for senior staff members while you’re down there... Even dead they hold important key cards..." While them being gone was not bad news, the knowledge that nobody else had made it out of the room was a downer, they would be left with the crew they had now and what a crew it was. The had lost a few, Alan, the one armed man, the nurse, Faith, and the other man Elijah. So many lives lost so quickly, they had to be careful not to lose any others, in fact with the doctor gone they had to be very careful, Zane may have been in war but he had no skills for healing, just for causing pain. With that he looked at those who were left and spoke, quietly but loud enough for people to hear him, "I know this is hard but we need to go... We want to stay ahead of these things if they can indeed catch us... If they can't we still need to get moving, the longer we stand around the worse off we are going to be..." he said turning to the deaf girl, he had missed her name and he needed to get it, "Alright stick near me or one of the others." he said with a small smile but it wasn't cheerful, he was just trying to comfort her. He then turned to the others hoping they would be ready to get moving, he knew that someone was likely to be freaking out though, he doubted everyone would react well to hearing that people had died. He would give them a minute but they probably should be moving, at least as soon as possible.
