A simple nod was how she replied. Lucky for her, she was observant, and quickly caught on...on killing these zombies. Of course she was more or less powerless when it came to combating a black tiger, but Ryan should have noticed her phobia by now. "We're on your turf now...you lead, I'll follow."

Ryan nodded back and slowly took a steps forward with his gun at the ready. He had to be slow for there were many treacherous corners. As he came to a T junction he had to back up from two zombies on both sides. Luckily instead of lunging at him they just turned as if they were bewildered and slowly began their chase, but instead they caught a bullet. More moaning could be heard and there were two paths. He couldn't remember whether it was right or left. "Um.. I.. Don't know which way to go."

Since they were flying blind again, Kei decided to use her instinct. Moaning was loud coming from the left side path, while it was more or less silent on the right. She urged Ryan to come follow her, as she went down the silent one. "I don't know about you, but I'm really glad to be alive. Let's keep it that way." She called back to him.

"Psh, we're already half dead." Ryan said and looked at the ladder. "Ladies first." He said smiling and waited for her to go up before going up himself. He remembered this, it was the tram. "I'll get it ready, go ahead inside." He said and began to operate the controls as it quickly brough power to it. He then entered and the tram started. As they were going something leaped on the top of it and a loud crash was heard. "I don't think that was the traction.."

Kei's hand was shaky, as she raised the firearm to unleash an onslaught of bullet at whatever it was. Ryan was right, it wasn't the traction. Heavy footfalls could be heard above them, and Kei tried her best to stay in the rear of the engine. "What is up there...Nothing made by human hands...not even Umbrella...can think for itself...can it? How would it know we're in here..." Whatever was up there was defiantly alive. Was much to big to be any of the animals that would probably reside down here.

Ryan also fired a shot or two but it was a waste of bullets to fire at an invisible enemy. Suddenly a large fist broke through the top with it's large claws and ripped off a chunk of the cealing then jumped into the tram. Ryan recognized it and began to back up. "N-n-no!... NO!!.... It can't be!!" He said as his hand trembled violently. He didn't know what to do, it was Birkin.

"Him?" Kei faced the leviathan that came in through the ceiling. It was a hideous thing, but was certainly no spider. First she did was unload a few shots at it..but the .9mm rounds didn't even dent the thing. She would need Ryan for this, but he seemed lost in some flashback. Too get him about of this state, she'd do to him what only a woman could do. But first, she needed a diversion. From her belt, she unclipped a smoke grenade. Letting the pin loose, and tossed it beneath the monster's feet. Usually, this would widespread an entire area, and the inside of this tram would be completely engulfed in smoke. Luckily, the monster was still under the hole he had made, which would vent it, preventing it's widespread effect.
The smoke went up, and Kei went for it. "Focus!" She shouted to him, closed her eyes, and locked her lips onto his. She wouldn't release until he came to his senses.

Ryan thought he was shocked from Birkin but he didn't expect something this random. He quieted and stood there wondering why. Then he realized he would have to play hero this time, after all, he knew more about this thing than her. Yet, still, with the lack of something highly explosive, killing this would be near impossible. So Ryan did the next best thing, he broke the tram window next to him, (By this time the tram stopped at it's destination.) And pushed Kei through then he himself left. He quickly ran around to the panel and restarted the tram as it set off back. It seemed Birkin was still "sufferring" from the effects of the smoke and was transported back. This would buy alot of time.

Kei smiled as she watched the last of the tram and the venting smoke heading away from them. She stood up and turned to Ryan. "Not half bad for an Asian, huh?" She said coolly, referring to her "quick thinking". She walked away from him, and to one of the doors. Entering through, it seemed to be some sort of control room, with consoles, and shiny buttons everywhere. "You know your way around here?" She called back to Ryan.

"Sort of!" He hollard back to her as he stayed behind a bit to inspect an odd misplaced flare cannon. Suddenly he heard something drop and he felt around his pockets. "Shit! The key!" He gasped as he began searching for it, but in the end he couldn't find it, it was too dark. He sighed, it seems he wouldn't be able to get into the weapon storage. All the USS had one when they first came to Raccoon in case something were to happen but now he had lost it. He sighed and followed after Kei. "I guess we should be taking the turn table up." He said as he sighed again. The power to the turn table seemed down, but there should be a spare card on the train. "Wait here, I'll be right back." He said and left through the only other door they haven't been in yet. It looked familiar but the train wasn't here when he was here but he knew you could ride it like an elevator. To his right he noticed a map and took it just in case they were to get lost. He continued into the train and got the card, he also noticed the turn table key and took that as well. He then proceeded to where Kei was. He slipped in the card key and power was restored. "Well, shall we?"

She nodded and followed him back to the turntable. She studied her surroundings and was awes struck again. "It must have taken ages and several millions to construct this facility...but why make it covert?" She quickly remember Birkin attacking them in the train. -That must be why.- She thought to herself. "I can't help but wonder..." She said aloud to Ryan again. "What exactly was Umbrella making these thing you mentioned to me earlier for? I mean...is Umbrella now full of insane commandos and mad scientists...is my coffee maker going to attack me next time I use it? After all, it was manufactured by them, too."

"Now?" Ryan laughed. "You make it sound as if they always were a phartisuedical company? Umbrella is just a cover. You think they'd just make toasters forever? In fact, that wasn't their original game. Umbrella strives to create biological weapons to sell to the highest bidder." Ryan explained and chuckled. "Boy are they going to have trouble explaining this, you shoulda seen how they had Irons turn his whole department against the STARS. Wasn't easy but he succeeded." Ryan looked at the panel near the train and put the key in. Three green lights lit up as a very loud and obnoxious horn sounded. Ryan hurried into the train and awaited Kei.

"Chief Irons?" Kei spoke up in disgust, after following him inside the train. "He knew about it all this time? And he still deployed saying that it was a riot...was he trying to rid of us or...keep us busy?" It didn't matter now. By now the city was out of anyone's control, even Umbrella's. Must be why they are going to destroy it. "Wait...if the laboratory is underground...how are we going to escape from it?"

"Irons didn't just know, he was a part of it." Ryan started as he sat on the small couch at the side of the train. "You know about the murders up in the mountains, don't you? Well.. Umbrella had no plans of it. Umbrella was housing A specimen called "T-002" Also known as the "Tyrant" Funny name, considering that the T-Virus is the "Tyrant Virus." Well, apparantly, the virus leaked, I'm not entirely sure how, but we do know it was the work of the one known as Albert Wesker. He's dead now though, fell victim to his own plot I suppose. Don't exactly know what that was though." A large rumble signaled that the turn table began to ascend. "Irons, Birkin, Wesker, hell even me and the rest of the team all work for Umbrella. I wouldn't doubt that at least 40% of the town is part of Umbrella as well." Ryans thought about what she said and pulled out the map. "I didn't know at first. Luckily the map I just picked up shows us an underground train. If we were to ride that train it would take us out of the city limits." Ryan explained and pointed to the spot on the map.

Kei groaned in disappointment. "God, I'm so tired of moving..." She admitted. "I just want to jump out of this suit and into a spa or a comfy bed. Kevlar isn't as comfortable as a bed sheet..." She slowly opened the rear door of the train and stepped out. "So this is facility..." She waited for Ryan to come out and spoke to him. "Well we're about a mile underground...what could come and get us..." Suddenly, a loud crash could be heard on the other side of the train. "I don't want to know what that was..." What landed was a tall figure, but luckily for them it wasn't Birkin, but it was after their skins. It's footsteps could be heard approaching, coming around to their side.
