You place your hoof on the doorknob and turn it. It resists the force you put on it but open just the same. The door is forced open by a strong gust of wind. You steel yourself against the current as it threatens to carry you away. Beyond the door you can see a suspended catwalk bent counter-clockwise around a circular room and led to another door. There is no other path to take. You hug the guard rail near the inner side of the room and proceed to cross. The further you went, the less you could feel the wind and about halfway across, it had completely vanished. It was replaced by a faint squeaking which almost sounded like a rusty fan or perhaps a small screw coming undone… You look back toward the door on the other side of the room, and look beneath the catwalk. Due to the light coming from the opposite room, you couldn't tell exactly what was there, but you could see movement among the shadows. A long metallic groan fills the room--now was the time to run.
You turn tail and bolt for the opposite door. A loud crack echoes through the room. As you look back, you see a section of the catwalk had collapsed and was dragging the rest of the catwalk with it. A small breeze began to blow around the room once more and slowly progressed until it was once again a raging torrent of air. The collapsing sections had caught up with you. You wouldn't have enough power to escape the howling wind should you have to fly. The door was only a few feet away, but so was the collapsing catwalk, there wasn't enough time. You dive for the open door and fold your wings as tightly as possible against the sides of your body. You could feel the wind swirling around your as you flew through the air. The catwalk beneath you detached itself from the wall and fell into the darkness below. The door, which was directly in front of you, slowly drifted off to your right. Your body passes through the door frame, is slammed up against the left wall and falls to the ground. The impact had dazed you slightly and you took your time in getting up. You glance back at where the catwalk was supposed to be. And notice movement in the doorway across the way. Rainbow Dash entered the surveillance room and immediately spied the open door and you. You could still feel the wind blowing through the room, but it felt like it was dying down.
You turn and run. The hall seemed to curve counter-clockwise around the room you were just in. You continued running until you came to a door with yet another familiar label, ’Armory’. Testing the knob reveals that it is unlocked. You quickly enter and close the door behind and notice a bolt lock on the door. You set it in place, and examine your surroundings. Farther down in the room was a similar door with a bolt lock already in place. To your right, there was what appeared to be a small storage room. You cautiously enter and look to the left. Several storage lockers hung open and appeared to be empty. You look left and come face to face with a security drone. You begin backing away but trip on a small stray cord and fall to the ground. You crawl backward away from the drone but stop when you notice it hadn’t moved. You sigh in relief; the drone had been deactivated long ago. As you prepare to stand, your hoof lands on something. You examine it as it’s lying on the ground and realize you’ve seen one of these before. It was slightly damaged but you were almost certain you could still use it. You pick up the taser and place it within your saddlebag.
