Kat looked over to Matthew and then to the massive vault door as it slowly broke from its rust and spun over to reveal a small, dank, dimly lit cave. She breathed in deeply, look back to the elevator and then back to the cave. She reminisced about her life in general. Her father and mother were most likely dead now. She felt her eyes well up with tears once more, but she quickly wiped the tears away with her finger. Now was not the time for crying, it was the time to stay strong and make them proud. She really wished she had been less rebellious towards her father throughout her life, actually made him proud rather than just satisfied. But it was too late now. She reached into her jacket pocket and pulled out a small switchblade, she flicked it open to reveal a rather sharp, slightly taped knife with a small snake carved in. She remembered her friends and held the knife to her heart, with the blade facing upwards towards her head obviously. She flicked the blade back into the handle and stuffed it into her pocket, making her way into the cave.

Kat let her hand slide along the damp walls of the cave, it was a feeling like none other she felt before. She knew she wasn't prepared for what was outside the vault, but she just hoped it was a lot less gruesome than what was inside it. She watched Matthew and Osaki leave and stood still for a bit. She turned back to the vault before facing the wall and breathing deeply. This was it, now or never. She punched the wall, ripping the door open with all her might and sending it slamming against the wall. It would have been more impressive if she hadn't immediately tripped while exiting the vault. It sent her tumbling down onto the hot dirt. She pushed herself up, examining the strange mineral as she rose to her feet and wiped the dirt from her face using her sleeve. The sun blinded her, she protected her eyes with her arm while moving over to Matthew and Osaki.
"I never expected it to be this...bright" She spoke. Her words were hushed, she had no idea why.
"I can see something in the distance over there and that sign seems to point to them. That seems like a good bet to find other people." Her voice now returning to normal as she spoke. Her eyes had mostly adjusted to the sunlight now, she held her hand horizontally above her eyes as she stared off into the distance.
