[ Nate's shoulder clips the tunnel wall as he leans away from a whipping tentacle, and they're so close. Get the scientist outside, take a breather, duck back in and retrieve that knife because he's not a goddamn liar. Fifteen feet, then ten, then he's reaching for Alex's sleeve to pull him along. ]
