The Adventure

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.

Chillmera, you're up!

Rocketeer and her cargo (Tomo, who may or may not puke again) jet up into the dark clouds. The clouds are actually significantly warmer than the open air, but don't seem to harm the duo in any noticeable way.

As you ascend, you notice three small, red, winged figures below. The creatures exit the facility through the same hole you did. However, they don't chase after you; the clouds apparently obscure you.Instead, the creatures stop at the third floor of the facility. Peering into a gash in the outer wall, they shriek, then rush inside. Rocketeer's armor detects a telepathic burst. Evidently American Dream is still alive, and is now fighting the "imps." Which side will prevail? Do Rocketeer or Tomo even care?

The imps moved too fast, and were too far away, for you to get a reading on their capabilities.

The thick clouds limit visibility, and neither of you can see a sun or light source. The maroon lighting in this place seems to simply exist. Rocketeer's armor is struggling to determine directions; even this place's magnetic field is wacky.

Eventually, her systems approximate compass bearings.

To the south, you see a large body of water. The water is dark blue, almost black. This is about 10 miles away.

To the east, you see the strange, stormy mountains you saw earlier. This is about 25 miles away.

To the north, the ground slopes down into a valley, and within the valley are even deeper chasms. This is about 10 miles away.

To the west, you see...something. Stone ruins? Or just poorly-designed buildings? Whatever they are, they cover a space about the size of a medium-sized village. This is about 15 miles away.

Below you, the OmniCorp facility is a dull-grey, damaged cube. You don't see any outbuildings, or any roads. The roof has some antennae and various other techy stuff, most of it damaged.

Unfortunately, the duo don't make it to the ruins without something happening. Fifteen miles is a long way, after all.

Seven miles into their journey, the flight has been uneventful, besides them weaving in and out of the strangely warm clouds. The ground below is still rocky and lifeless. At one point, you both see what appears to be a flock of birds to the north, but even that could've just been your eyes playing tricks on you.

Then, as you fly by a butte, Rocketeer's armor detects a projectile flying directly towards you. You don't know exactly what it is, besides Rocketeer's screens showing it's a spear-like object. It'll be on you almost instantly, so you have to decide what to do now.
