I do that and then Maddison and Kenny drown, the base door will not under any circumstances open if the system detects water in the decon room, stops the base from flooding itself.
(Disbelief) We’ve all been working together for the last three years. Do you really think that all of a sudden we’d just turn on each other?
PAT (Distracted) Do you hear it? Do you see it? Will you open the door? What does it mean?
(ALARMED) Hey! Boss time to wake up, I need your help!
(Grim) The dive team had made their way from checking on the door, got back in decon went to start scrubbing, the dive hatch sealed, Adams started a flush—
That's putting it mildly, what the hell happened with Adams! Did you find Alva–... IS that blood.
(WHISPERED) Do you hear it?
(Crazed) Because they could hear it.
(Crazed) Chief, it's good to see you, these fools have me tied up. I haven't done anything.
(Confused) They were here just a moment ago.
(CRAZED) Do you hear it?
(Crazed) No,no, no. listen.

(Tense) Chief, whatever you’re doing you need to do it quickly. We managed to seal the inter-chamber, but the dive room door is stuck open and our O2 tanks don’t have much left.
(Irritated) Okay then open the inter-chamber.
(Furious) Drain the water, get them out, then open it.

(Calm) I’d really appreciate it if you did not drown us.
(Horrified) No, the inter-chamber is opening.
(Whispered) Did you hear it?
- male adult
(Resigned) I second that on the whole not drowning. I never should have joined up.
(Horrified) Chief you need to stop it
(Whispered) Our screams.
- female adult
(Concerned) The second team won’t make it in time. We don’t have enough oxygen.
(Whispered) Did you see it?

(Annoyed) You had better be calling me for something important Holebroke, you pulled me out of a meeting with some of our biggest donors. You had better have drilled open another gate.
(Irritated) Spit it out Holebroke, it's not as if someone has died is it? (Grim) How many?
This work that you are all doing is important but your lives more so. These people all have families that are expecting them home someday. Keep them safe. Find out what happened. And get these doors opened.
(Nervous) I just got done taking a look at the systems and well just take a look at this.
(Distracted) We don’t know just yet. I’m hoping that their terminal will tell us something, but they have it encrypted well past the normal security clearance.
All of them, they all just say once the door is open Erebus will be free. First you will hear, then you will see, then you will open.

I have Kel looking into the tapes from last week they’re scrubbing through the footage. We’ll find this son of a bitch…I still can’t believe that we’ve got someone doing this.
Do you want them detained?
(Uneasy) I will need to warn you. Alvarez is spouting the same things as Adams. I’m having Kel taking a look at their quarters. From what they've told me the good doctor had been up to this weirdness for a while now.
What the hell is going on!?
What was the Doc talking about!
Yeah I heard him, he’s threatening us.
Why are we on backup power?
Yeah I heard him over the system!
He’s got a gun!
We’ll calm down as soon as you tell us what's going on.
Someone, open the door, let the chief in!
THIS IS BULLSHIT!
Get us the hell out of here, bring the chief now!
Can you see it?
Can you hear it?
