[center][b]South-West Block - Nathaniel[/b][/center]

---

There was nothing left to do but keep on running toward the promised evacuation, so Nathaniel did just that. He had to fight off a feeling of elation. They were not safe yet, despite the promise of rescue beyond the fog, but he was already wanting to celebrate. He'd taken the first steps onto the path of his destiny, and the biologist following behind him was apparently key to that. Perhaps Annie had learned something or found some sample or artifact that would guide him forward. Nathaniel would have to talk to the scientist later to figure out how he fit into the grand scheme of awakening divinity.

Whatever the case may be, he had to fight himself to stay vigilant and focused on the task at hand. Nathaniel kept his pistol ready in case of nasty surprises from the fog, but he hoped it would not be necessary. He made sure to keep out of the way of the tank fire and anything his allies might be shooting, and he glanced back regularly to make sure Annie was keeping up, but other than that he just kept on running, heading for the Chinook he could hear waiting there to pick them up.
