Welcome to Gaia! ::

Kayla made it to the door first and fumbled for her swipe card, the bag of research supplies getting in her way. She turned and fired at the Acid on her left as she finally reached the key. She slid the door open and started to run through, slamming chest first right into an Acid. She fired at its head from her spot on the ground and clawed her way out of the door way for Reaper to get through.

"s**t!" She yelled in anguish as she felt the acid starting to eat through her shirt. As Reaper slammed the door shut behind her, Kayla ripped her shirt sleeve off and looked at her arm in terror.

Her arm was burning. It hurt like hell. "I think I got it...I think I'm infected." She could cry. "I think I can cut the skin off!!" She yelled, pulling out the knife at her belt. She was too distracted to notice the seven Acids heading down the hallway from the left and the eighteen coming from the right. She could see the light of day ahead of them, but was too distracted to move.

"No, I gotta cut it." She put the knife to her skin and cut into her flesh. It hurt like hell, but she hoped it was good enough. SHe hadn't even noticed the grenades go off she was so distracted. Tears leaked from her eyes as she cut the infected patch of skin off her arm and threw it to the ground. She ripped her other sleeve off and used it as a bandage as Reaper continued to fight the surrounding Acids. Only when she had stood up, feeling slightly woozy, did Kayla notice how dire their situation was. Grabbing Reapers arm, she raced down the hall towards the front of the building and out into the sunlight.

((No worries, We can continue tomorrow))

"Yeah" she stated bluntly, "I think I'm gonna pass out." tears were still in her eyes as they continued to run, eyes scanning for a salvageable car. They finally found a working Toyota Truck two blocks from the entrance to the building.

"You're gonna have to drive. I've got some tests to run." Kayla climbed into the passenger seat slowly and leaned her head back in pain. Hopefully she had gotten it in time. If she did, it would all be worth it.

During the ride. Kayla took some blood sample straight from her arm and dropped it into a vial of liquid she had concocted, shook it up and waited. THe liquid turned blue and she breathed a sigh of relief.

"I think I'm okay." she breathed happily. "I have to test again later to make sure" she said slowly as she started to treat her wound.

"Darn right we do." She cringed as the bandage rubbed against her hurt arm, "This hurts like hell."

Kayla stared out the window, watching the decomposing scenery go by. The world had definitely fallen apart around them, and there was no chance that they would be able to rebuild. She didn't even think that they would be able to reestablish humanity. She had read somewhere that it took 38 people to reestablish enough genetically different people for humanity to last more than a few decades. And currently, she only knew of five living people in all of Fortuna.

Kayla grinned in reply to Reapers remark. Obviously she had been rather foolish and her wound was likely to get infected in a short amount of time, yet it had been for the best. She was about to reply to Reaper when she noticed a lone figure on the opposite side of the highway, walking with a baseball bat.

"...Is that one alive?" Kayla asked in shock, pointing the girl out to REaper.
