Tomo turns her head towards the sound of the commissary creature breaking free.

"...Yeah, I should've expected that," Tomo laments. If there's no obvious exit, or nothing of interest to Rocketeer, Tomo will continue down the stairwell to the next floor to find an exit.

"Yep, that's our cue to leave."

Rocketeer doesn't stick around to look at anything. She follows Tomo, but while she's doing so, she enhances the auditory input of her helmet and tries to isolate the whispering so she can catch what's being said.

You both are already on the first floor, and you don't see any sort of basement access. Since the facility's layout has been straightforward so far, it's a safe bet there aren't any below-ground levels.

You're able to exit the facility via any number of blown-apart sections of wall...or the old-fashioned way, by using a damaged door in the admin room. However, the door has "EMERGENCY EXIT - DO NOT LEAVE UNLESS SITUATION IS CRITICAL" on it, along with several other similarly-worded warnings.

Outside, you see the same thing you saw earlier, when you were peering out from the third floor: rocky terrain, an ominous sky, far-off mountains.

Although Rocketeer's tech allows her to "zoom in" on the noise, the language being spoken is unknown...if it's even a language at all. It sounds like gibberish, punctuated with squeals, cackles, and snarls. Despite all this, you can detect that there are three different entities "conversing." You can also detect a sort of passive-aggressiveness to the exchange, like the three are perpetually aggrevied whiners who nevertheless believe themselves to be big shots.

"I'm picking up the sound of three distinct beings. They seem to be talking to each other, surprisingly, but it's no language I've ever heard." Rocketeer reverts her helmet's auditory input to normal.

She steps out of the facility through one of the holes in the walls. "I think we should start by getting a bird's-eye view of the surrounding area. We need to figure out where we are. Frankly, I'm starting to doubt we're still in the same dimension. Would love to be wrong though." She offers an armored hand to Tomo. Her jets hum as they come to life, prepared for immediate takeoff.

Tomo absentmindedly places her hand so that it rests limply in Rocketeer's palm, like a pet doing a handshake.

"...Dimension? You don't look 2D, and I don't know what 4D would be like...unless 4D is like those movie theaters with the chairs that shake. I know that."

"I'm not talking about those dimensions. Point is, I have a feeling we're not in Kansas anymore."

Rocketeer picks Tomo up and takes to the skies, leaving the OmniCorp prison behind. She's mainly focused on surveying their surroundings from above.
