Night 58: Doctors' Offices (Med Wing)
[from here]
The door to the office creaked as he pushed it open halfway; Kratos stepped in quickly, flashlight beam darting around, first to search for danger and second to search for anything of interest. There was another computer on the plain, wooden desk and shelves lining the sides - nothing initially out of the ordinary...
He was about to run through a thorough check of the drawers when he heard a hiss. The noise was faint at first, but as he slowly turned to find its source, it built in volume. And then, without warning: white gas pouring out from underneath the shelves, from the vents in the ceiling, and seemingly from every possible nook and cranny of the office. His first instinct was to cover his mouth and nose with his arm. His second was to back out as hastily and swiftly as possible so as to spare himself any more exposure: even though he'd only been in the room for a few seconds at most, his eyes were already stinging.
Careful to hold his breath, Kratos ducked out of the office and slammed the door shut behind him.
