Zero Escape: VLDR - A House Divided (GAME 0VER)

[Metrion]

Be careful! She might be infectious!

We need to move people! We are not losing anyone else. I swear it.

[Aeolian]

I-
What should I do?
What should we do, chula?

I still...have my job to finish.

[Metrion]

Shut up about your job Leo!

Everyone to the lift!

[Aeolian]

Chula, come on...We need to go.

[Arcthurus]

The lifts?
What about what the old woman just said?

[Metrion]

(DAMN YOU ROCK FOR MAKING THAT POST HARD TO READ)

TO THE PODS!

[melanora]

Forget your job.

All of you, just go.

[Aeolian]

You don't know what my charge is.
I'm seeing it through to the end.

[Varanus]

Akira...

/leave for pods

[melanora]

Go!

[Arcthurus]

/inspect the pods

[RockFire]

Chase takes out a toy otter while looking at the woman collapsed on the floor and then leaves with the group, taking Leo's hand.

Everyone makes a break for the escape pod room as they hear the sounds of the mechanical lift moving upwards. Akira stumbles on his injured leg and waves the group to leave him, flashing a smile and his machete that is covered in some sort of black powder. Vasuva halts and then stops to give him a peck on the cheek and then runs to catch up with the rest.

As they enter the room, they hear the sounds of a lift coming down and everyone still together gets into one of the nine pods. Leo and Chase take one together. 45 and Omega do as well. They all press the large red button on the side of the pods as they enter.

The doors slide shut and everyone is launched outward as they hear lots of footsteps racing down the hall outside. As they drift off into the sea, they realize the entire structure they've been in has been some sort of large metal submarine and that it is currently being surrounded by a large armada of boats. Everyone slumps into the seats of the pods as they wonder where exactly they're headed and where exactly they will end up now.

Anyway, what's back there? How did you find that?? Has anyone else been in there???
