You sprint to the Basement door and shut it behind you, quickly fumbling to turn the lock. The room is pitch black.

A loud pound and muffled voice from the guard startles you.

Good thing he doesn't have the key, but Ryuji does. I have to be quick. You thought.

You see a large, dimly lit flight of stairs in front of you. What you're looking for must be down there. As you run down the stairs, the pounding on the door begins again.

The sound gets quieter and quieter the longer you run. After a full minute of sprinting down the steps, you finally land on a concrete floor. Looking back up, you see a long hallway, with four doors presented under a white light.

"INTERROGATION", "HOLDING", "TESTING", and "LABORATORY". The laboratory is your first bet as to where the protogen might be.

You push the door open and enter a dark room. You see many strange, scientific tools, not something you thought would be in a technology company's headquarters. You walk around, looking at all the weird things before you stumble upon a large, glass tube filled with some weird liquid. Multiple wires are suspended inside of it.

What is this? No... Does this mean...

You look behind and see a table, littered with papers and folders. You grab a random page and start to read it.

You shiver as the paper slips from your hand.

They KILLED HIM? If he was killed, what about... Oh no.

You scramble to see if you can find the documents on your protogen, then you finally see it.
