Night 49: M101-M110 Hallway
[M109]
The return from the Doyleton trip had brought with it a resolve Minato hadn't really been expecting. His conversation with Leon, and their exploration of the electronics shop in town, had renewed his interest in finding a music player for himself, and he spent a good portion of time after dinner thinking about the music room next to the Sun Room bulletin board. Somewhere along the way, he found the time for a power nap.
He pushed himself out of bed when the intercom crackled with the Head Doctor's night announcements, pausing long enough to listen before getting ready. By now, preparing for night exploration was almost routine, and he spent less time retrieving his gear than he did fastening his soccer mesh bag to his coat belt. A quick test of his flashlight led to him switching out the batteries. It looked like he would need to find batteries soon, too. Maybe he would have enough time to hunt some down tonight.
Minato spent his last few minutes in the room pulling on his standard-issue boots. With the weather as stormy as it was, he wouldn't be surprised if the "emergency reconstruction" involved a more sinister twist, like flooding. If brainwashing and zombie attacks were possible here, flooding was definitely not out of the question.
Finally finished, he locked up his remaining equipment and headed out into the darkness of the hallway.
