Stealth sounds like a really good idea to you right now. You need to get past those bastards somehow. But it also sounds like a lot of work and slightly yellow, an unamerican colour to be sure, so you decide to see if you can make it over the rooftops. Another option is to become a superhero but you dismiss the notion because it's utterly retarded and you feel like you need a ball punching for even considering it. Anyway. You head to the Staff Lounge, thankfully located in the same building, and you manage to not bump into any soldiers or Hellspawn on the way, which you think quite lucky. Pushing your way into the lounge, you come across several corpses in various poses of terror, most of their flesh stripped. Looooverly. The place looks disappointingly empty. There's paperwork, a huge amount of stationary, snacks, a coffee machine and that's about it. Conspicuously, no flag. Was there even one to begin with? Of course there was. You shake your head. How could there not be? Oh, and there's a ladder to the roof for some reason. Odd place for it but then, you're no architect. You place the flagpole down with reverence, climb the ladder and emerge on the roof, avoiding the edges lest you be seen. There's another corpse up here, but it looks like it got up here under its own steam and then bled out. You're confident you won't be discovered up here unless you move too close to the edge of the roof. Looking across to the science wing, you realize glumly that you can't make that jump. Damn it.
You sit back on your haunches and stare out at the ruined town, smoke rising from many locations and the occasional ant-like demon or soldier wandering around in the distance. Wow. Suddenly you realize what you should have been doing all this time is probably trying to raise the military. But at this point, the phone line is probably out. Well, you don't suppose they could have missed this happening, which leads to the even more disturbing idea that they can't actually help out. How wide-spread is this invasion? Why did it start here? Did it start here? You contemplate popping another valium but yet again can't reach consensus with yourself, which doesn't strike you as the least bit crazy. Maybe it should.
You hum the national anthem under your breath.
