Snippet #1904392

During his examination of the man he noticed something weird. He was examining his head when he felt a scar at the back of the man's head. He turned the guy's head and examined it further. There was a scar running down from the top of his head to the base of his neck. It felt and looked recent. His hair had grown over it already though, so he'd almost missed it. He didn't think it was a big enough deal to say anything but it was definitely strange. After his quick examination he turned to the other man, Rick, and said, "Calm down man. It'll be okay."

Brock stood up slowly as he reached up with his left hand and scratched at the back of his head thinking. "Well the door unlocked a few minutes ago, so we can leave the room in a moment. First I'd like to just do a quick check on you to make sure you are okay. You seem to have calmed down since coming out of the pod. This guy seems okay but he hasn't woke up yet so I'm not sure what's wrong with him." He looked to Rick questioningly as he mentioned the quick exam.

Rick looked at him sort of hesitant before saying, "Yeah, sure I guess." Which was good because he didn't want to force one on him. Brock moved close as he checked Rick in general. Looking for any sign of broken bones, unusual pains. He didn't find anything wrong with Rick at all. Which was a good thing he guessed. "Seems like you are fine, the headache should pass soon it's from the sleep. Now I think the best thing we can do now is just leave this room. I mean you are welcome to stay here but you two are actually the first people I've seen since I woke up. That's saying something since this one is still unconscious and I'm not even sure why."

Shaking his head he turned towards the door and began to head out of the room. The door slid open as he closed in on them. Stepping out into the hallway he looked back toward where he had come from. The lights had gone out for the most part in the passageway. There were still a few flickering here and there. He knew from his recent exploration that to his right was the dead end he came from. A small elbow shaped hallway with various empty sleeper rooms lining the walls. He'd checked each of them as he passed, well the ones that were unlocked. There was a keypad for each of them as well as scanner, probably for cards. But he didn't know the information or have a card obviously. He looked to the left and could see the hallway went on for at least another forty feet before turning again. He couldn't tell which way from this distance but he knew the stairs were in that direction.

Before coming into this room he'd been formulating a plan. The power to these sectors were obviously beginning to fail. For whatever reason the core was either dying or had been tampered with. This was all just a little to strange for him. There hadn't been a sign of struggle anywhere, and he still hadn't come up with a scenario where any of this made sense. There should be so many more people...
