He snarled as he grabbed a couple of clips from the bedside table and then started running. There were some escape shuttles in the launch bay - if he could get there fast enough, he could use the antidote cache hidden there (he took a moment to bless the almost paranoid level of emergency planning), and he'd be fine. He'd evacuate, then figure out what he'd say in his report... they wouldn't be pleased, to say the least.
Still, the clear betrayal of Garrison could hardly be blamed on him, so he'd do just fine. Better than fine, in fact...
He stopped at an unmarked panel, hit a hidden switch, then grabbed the small fiberglass bag inside, along with a cube from a socket on the wall of the compartment. With the information on these cubes, and the recording of the security cameras, he'd have all the information he'd need to stay on top of the game.
Carthy then took off running again, following the signs to the launch bay. After a while he was coughing and almost staggering, and he slowed down to a walk. He'd catch his breath, then speed up again. He gained some time on the zombies, and hopefully the hybrids would - wait!
He stopped and listened. Voices! From the side passage he could hear a voice - male, young - maybe one of the guards?
"... are ... okay... there?"
He couldn't quite make out what they were saying, but a guard meant - protection! On the other hand, if it was one of Garrison's thugs, he'd be in real trouble...
