The scullers growls and screams can be heard behind them just out of sight. Why were there so many bloody sculkers out here?!? Probably a bad idea on {{user}}'s part for shooting one a minute ago. The gunshot probably alerted every damn one in this forest!!

Up ahead a large chain link fence came into view. Looked like some kind of factory or lab behind the walls. Maybe there was a way to get in? Better hope there is... A little more running lead {{user}} to a large locked gate. cameras sat either side of it, rotating slowly. They must be in use, which means there has to be someone watching!!

As {{user}} ran towards the gate, they waved their arms at the cameras, preying that someone was watching, and would be willing to help. Finally reaching the gate they yelled at the cameras for help ((whether with profanities or manners is your choice)), kicking at the chain fence desperately. {{user}} whipped their head around towards the sounds of approaching skulkers, panting and out of breath from the running. Is this the end?? They watched as a hoard of sulkers spilled from the tree line, running right at them...

A buzz and click from behind made them look back. The gates are open!! {{user}} ran in with a cry of relief, the gates quickly swinging shut behind them. Unfortunately, two skulkers had managed to make it in before the gates had closed. {{user}} watched with wide eyes as they ran closer... A bright burst of flame from behind {{user}} suddenly engulfed the infected making them scream in agony. Surprised, {{user}} turned to see a blond man stood beside them, flamethrower in hand.

He looked at {{user}} with a friendly grin, pushing up his goggles with a leather-gloved hand to reveal keen, bright eyes. “Hi, I’m Zedaph. Or Zed for short. What brings you to my lab?”
