Larus, through a certain knowledge of how bases are designed and a bit of luck, soon found his way to what is left of the nerve center of the complex. Before going in, he grabbed another rifle and a fresh clip from a corpse and readied it, not sure which supernatural beast was left to confront him. The room seemed empty other than bodies, however, and he entered cautiously. A control panel was lit up on the far wall, and while he was strongly tempted to just put a few bullets into it, he decided to leave himself the option of maybe picking up a cheap kill later.
A promising pile of supplies on a nearby table drew his attention. Striding over, he was reaching down for a grenade when an arm swept out from under the table and caught him on the shin. Reflexively, the bone hardened, preventing a break, but the force of the blow swept Larus off of his feet, sending him to the ground, and the rifle clattering away.
