The building had obviously been for something huge. Because it was huge. Miles of corridors, all wrapped around each other, followed in their path by many, many pipes, and most of them still accessible. Occasionally a collapsed wall impedes the hall's path, but down here most everything is clear. Room after room split off, varying from offices, now left in ruins, to huge rooms fulls of large machines, now rusted and useless. Break rooms, labs, control rooms, whatever was done here, it was big. And from what was still here-over turned chairs, projects left disintegrating on tables-abandoned in a hurry.

And down here? Now dark. Occasionally a collapsed roof let in shafts of light. But once your eyes adjusted to the dark, a soft glow became apparent. All along the walls, a softly glowing mold was spreading, giving just enough light to see by. It was nice and warm down here too, a refreshing break from the cold outside.

And if you followed the right halls, suddenly you found yourself in a large, open room. In the middle is a strange lump of smooth rock, having been blown down there from some explosion from above. And around that? All the supplies your little heart could desire. There are force fields that flicker softly in the corners, but they don't stop you from retrieving the supplies.

What might, however, is the way the room makes you feel. Tingling, and overwhelmingly nauseous. Although the room itself is pleasantly warm, anyone standing there is hot, feverish, and feels as if they have the worst bout of flu. Ever.

Tony stops immediately at the sound in Donatello's voice. Something is wrong.

He turns to look and see's what Don is looking at.

"Wait a tick, is that....."

A goddamn geiger counter?! Yes. He doesn't even need to finish the question to know that, and he doesn't have to be told twice why one of those might be laying around here. Couple that with the mess around this place, he almost feels a fool not having figured it out already.

"We need to get out of here..." Don brought a hand to his head. "We need to get out and get others out of here. This place is going to kill anyone who stays in here too long-!"

Including them. However, the other hand goes to his thigh for some reason.
nightlightheart: (are you listening to yourself)

"Others?" Tony is skeptical about that, but he's already moving. Back toward the direction they'd came. "I don't mean to sound grim here, but maybe it would be better to just let the others stay here. Less people to worry about sneaking up on you from behind a shrub while you take a leak."

He likes to hope that this line of thinking is only situational. Only one winner after all. Might make the odds better if most of them were offed by radiation poisoning.

It's a bit odd to him that Donatello isn't right on his heels though. For sounding so worried, Tony half expected the guy to be sprinting toward the exit, really. So what's the hold up?

Tony pauses and turns back around to look at him.

Donatello is a few paces behind him, looking back into the halls of the building. He's quiet for a moment before he speaks.

"I know...but there are a few people I promised to look after in this place."
nightlightheart: (this is hurting my beautiful brain)

He grumbles a bit and rolls his eyes, but he's not going to be the ass hole who says 'no, we can't go warn your friends.' Not even in this place.

"Do you know where they are?"
polyturtle: (AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA)

"No! But...but I have to find them!"

With that, he's busting down the hallway.

"I'll meet you outside!!"
