James Drake peers at the screen seemingly hovering above him. He groans before lowering the brightness and continuing his work. Working throughout the night had its pros and cons. The most obvious of which were the extra work completed and the crippling exhaustion in the morning. He found it strangely funny that he goes through all this inconvenience just to get a little more work done, so funny that he felt the sudden urge to laugh. Jeez, if anyone was listening, he must have sounded like a maniac. He smiled to himself before continuing his work. He was able to continue for around five more minutes before collapsing into a snoring heap on the floor.
A shrill scream pierced the air, jolting him awake and making him cringe. He quickly recovered and jumped to his feet, ready to assist a damsel in distress in the name of chivalry, only to open the door and discover that the hall was empty. He frowned before slowly stepping into the hallway, anxiety and confusion pushing to the front of his mind. He could've sworn that the scream was just outside...
A clattering from a nearby vent made him spin on the spot, gasping and stumbling backwards. A painful impact from a nearby pipe dizzies his vision but seems to clear his mind, and he quickly sees that the vent had merely fallen off due to rusted screws.
He approaches the now gaping hole in the wall and peers inside, curiosity getting the better of him. He is greeted by black murky fumes from a busted valve. He coughs and turns away, making a mental note to inform engineering of the malfunction and returning to his office and resuming the repetitive task that he had been set.
