TURN 4: OF Loot and DissectionsAlec massages his temples to try and calm his massive headache. Deciding that a course of action was needed to be taken, he takes a risky chance, and pressed the basement button without too much thought of what it could lead too.
Try to deal with pain, and press basement button
You click the button for the basement after everyone consents and then sit down on the floor for the long ride down. (5) You try and cope with the pain but don't make much success, however nothing gets worse either so you count your blessings for now. Deciding to slip to your feet and check the armory along with most of the group, you manage to find inside (9) a
Large .44 Magnum Pistol (3) however you can only manage to find a single magazine of .44 ammo, slipping it into the pistol you pocket the magnum.

Large .44 Magnum Pistol"Basement's as good a place as any... Oh, and I downloaded the entire military database on these things. Thought I should mention that."
Run a search on the glutton to find the effects of exposure to its blood.
(2+2=4) You run through the military database searching for something that matches the gluttons description. Finding something somewhat similar, but significantly less mutated, opening the file on whats marked '#21' which matched for the black blood, grey eyes and somewhat bloated appearance, you scroll through the various info that seems mostly useless like time for it to mutate from a normal person. Finding what you want about its blood you proceed to read aloud to the group:
"Species #21 appears to have blood carrying toxins similar to a spider or spitting cobra; Any contact with it's blood has caused even the toughest men to drop immediately into a comatose state, and for most cases even slight exposure has had an acidic effect on the skin it touches. The blackness of its blood appears to quickly spread through a patients unconscious body, becoming extremely visible as the entire flesh turns dark purple before sloughing off like liquid. So far time from infection to death has been at the longest 1 minute.'
There is a later update to the effect;
'It appears that those already infected with the disease avoid the acidic effects from it's blood, however so far none of the patients has regained consciousness even after 72 hours, I fear the worst.' It is signed at the end, Agent 12.
Group Event:(9) The elevator makes a hugely uneventful trip down into the basement of the 5 story complex. The doors slide back to reveal a brightly illuminated room, the lights are not flickering at all in the basement. It seems that there is some generator set up here, as the elevators lights flicker slightly. There are blood streaks along the floor going from the elevator into a room marked 'Experimental Fac:Restricted Access level 5', the door hangs ever so slightly ajar. On the other wall in the room is another door labeled 'Science Storage and Electronics' next to that door is another one labeled 'Security Headquarters' and lastly on the far side of the room is the Armory's door which hangs wide open, the room inside looks empty of people but also appears to be a complete mess.
"You know what I would like right now, guys? A shotgun. Or a machine gun. Because, yeah. Those things? Totally fucked up, bro, I mean damn. And after we have some guns, what would be great would be a tank." A large, armored vehicle between himself and whatever the hell that was up there sounded very nice indeed right now.
Benny also votes for armory, where he looks for shotguns and ammunition for such.
(6, 8 ) As the elevator doors slide open you cautiously walk across the vacant room and into the armory. The place is a godawful mess, ammo and guns scattered everywhere, many broken or covered in blood. It looks as though people came through and just ran off with everything they could carry but they did leave a large amount of the weapons stockpile, which previously must have been exceptionally impressive. Rummaging through the mess you manage to fairly quickly find a
Remington 870 (9) It doesn't take very long to find the shotgun ammo, or at least whats left of it. You Manage to find a pretty good mix of shells but it seems to be the only ones left,
20 Shotgun Slugs,
16 Buckshot Shells and a handful of military issue
Explosive Shells 6. You also find a box of normal
Shot-Shells 16. (6) You manage to find one other shotgun, it appears to have been someones private arm and is a

Since you mentioned the "memorizing" part, I'll take it my character has some idea of what may have happened. And are you keeping track of the Makarov's clip? The magazine sizes vary from 8 to 10 and 12 bullets.))
Mortimer reawakens inside the elevator and stands up, recovering the disciplined stance he had learned after so much time practicing military tactics. But he also knew he was probably not the same anymore.
He saw the creatures' eyes, and they had saw him; Mortimer felt as if they had somehow etched his face, scent and signature into their mind, sharing his characteristics between them. He took some time to check where the elevator was going before starting a conversation.
"Um, Basement? Yeah, I could have some of what they hid there. And some more firepower may prove beneficial, unless it has already been all exhausted."
The russkie examines his pistol, still maintaining his stance to prevent any missfires.
"I should also mention I think those creatures got something into me, like a tracking device of sorts. Not the physical one, of course, but you get the idea. Either that or they just got all my info and they'll track me to hell and back."
He stops for a moment.
"I am probably a hazard for the team. What do you think? I can leave you alone if you so wish. To be sincere, I know these monsters are beyond common sense. I may be more resilient to suggestion..."
He fondly remembers the memories of his father teaching him how to cope with pain and distractions under stress and at gunpoint. His lips form a slight smile. Old bastard.
"...But even if they do not break my mind, I'm sure they'll break my body sooner or later even if I follow you, since I'll be their prey. Either that or they leave me mostly unscathed and start to pick off each one of you to finally kill me when I am no longer of use. I may just be going crazy, but that is what I think. Bluntly put, I feel as if they are the hounds, and I have just became the rabbit."
He exchanges the barely used magazine for the fresh one, just in case he has to face an occasion where there will be no time to reload, pulling the slide and chambering another bullet with a sharp metallic sound.
"Well, this rabbit can kick and bite. Hard."
His eyes show steely determination. The youth really means what he just said; if he proves to be more of a problem to the team than he is worth, there is no problem in being left to fend off for himself. After all, there are five more lives on the line.
Exchange barely used magazine for unused one, prepare to shoot at anything dangerous. When the elevator doors' open, be the first out and secure the area before anything else.
You easily slip out the magazine with 8 shells left for the unused one with 10 shells. As the doors open you walk first out into the room, and then cautiously head into the armory. However nothing appears to be down here, the armory is a mess, with guns and ammo scattered everywhere. You carefully sidestep a grenade laying on the floor, and picking it up check to make sure the pins all the way in, you pocket it.
Frag Grenade safely away in a pocket, you head out of the armory and check the door(4) to the security room, finding it locked shut with a powerful deadbolt set in a metal door you look at the science storage room(3) and find it to be the same. Heading over to the room marked 'Experimental Fac:Restricted Access level 5' you look closely at the blood streaks leading into the room, they don`t seem that fresh and (7) you do not hear anything from the inside of the room. (8 ) You carefully nudge the door open, wanting to make sure the whole basement is either safe or locked, and see where the blood streaks are leading. The room's walls are covered with hundreds of broken pieces of scientific equipment, the destruction seeming methodical to destroy anything that whoever did this could not take. However that is the least of your concerns, the blood streaks lead to a series of tables at the far wall. In front of one on the ground is what appears to be the corpse of the scientist, hammer in hand, dead as he finished sabotaging the room. (9 )On the table is what looks like 5 people who were captured just like your group, however they are filled with hundreds of tubes and needles, all but 1 look to be completely dead and dissected. The women on the far table seems to be breathing, if only just, blood slowly continuing to drip from the table, creating a large pool beneath her, she is strapped down to the medical table with dozens of large leather straps, and her legs are chained together. (9) There is a large medical locker on the far side of the room beside the tables, it appears to still contain a decent assortment of medicines and bandages. You stand nervously in the doorway, unsure of how to react to the macabre scene.
Ires huddled at the corner of the elevator, fingering her amulet while making sure that what she saw wasn't real. Those red gems, they must be connected to something else. Eyes? Lights?
No matter. She looked at the buttons, "The basement looks like a viable option, but Armories are mostly locked down by heavy security, and the research labs might...ugh, I don't even want to guess what else may have happened."
She took a breath before pressing a hand to her temple, kneading it for a while. "No sign of guards or other people, especially that strange Agent who helped us.
If we do take the basement, it may be empty. Likewise on the Quarters. Um, I'll just stay here and go with whatever you all pick.
"The basement, then. And don't forget headgear for the noise on those guns."

((Wut. 2 Ninjas!))
Be the first to exit, then examine the current surroundings and try to search for anything that I could hold as a weapon.
(5) You can't see anything obvious as a weapon in the main room, but you head off to the armory. Despite your attempts to get there first, a few other people have already crowded in and began looting. (10, 9) Regardless you quickly manage to find a
Pair of Experimentally Modified Uzi's, you also find a few magazines for them 4x
50 Size 9mm Magazines and 2x
.45 ACP 16/16 Magazines. The Armory is beginning to look quite picked through however, a lot of cases are hanging open with just empty shells and random pieces of ammo.

"Basement, yes." He agreed, not knowing who exactly was talking. It was like he was hearing an echo...
Ires. He had to protect her. Like he should have been protecting his sister.
Action: Disembark from the elevator and protect Ires while she looks for a weapon.
((OOC: Sorry for late post. 
*gets distracted easily*))
(8 ) You act in as an impressive guard for Ires, and jump as she pulls a pair of Uzi's off of a back self that you didn't even notice. You quickly hide your surprise at the beautiful twin weapons, and instead go back to guarding the entrance to the armory. (1) Managing to trip on the way to the door you slam into the bench-boxes that were in the middle of the small armory, with a sound of cracking wood you slowly get back to your feet. (9) Not only are you okay, but it appears that you found the place the soldiers had been storing the spare clothing and helmets. Reaching down you pull out a thick metal helmet, reminiscent of old war gear, and looking around a bit you find a few stiff leather jackets, some thicker jean type pants and two backpacks.
