Hall can’t open the airlock door. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
“No, it’s no good,” says Stone. “The level’s contaminated. You’ll have to go to Three. Go to Three!”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“THERE ARE NOW TWO MINUTES AND FORTY-FIVE SECONDS TO SELF-DESTRUCT,” says the announcer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The targeting computer has picked up on Hall again as he climbs the ladder to Three. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Sway!” says Stone. Hall leans left as he climbs. “Weave!”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“You’re zeroed-in! Duck!” shouts Stone. Hall scrunches down on the ladder. A laser bolt hits the side of the ladder to his left. Hall turns to look. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The laser fires again, hitting Hall in the left cheek. Hall opens his mouth in shock. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
“THERE ARE NOW TWO MINUTES AND THIRTY SECONDS TO SELF-DESTRUCT,” says the announcer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Keep going!” says Stone. “You’ll make it!”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hall looks up the ladder. Everything around him is distorted and swimming. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
“THERE ARE NOW TWO MINUTES AND FIFTEEN SECONDS TO SELF-DESTRUCT,” says the announcer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hall struggles to put his hand on the rung of the ladder. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Fight the effect – it’s mostly shock!” says Stone. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hall can barely hold onto the ladder. He tries to shake the cobwebs out of his head. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The laser fires again and misses. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
“You’ve lost some time, but you can still do it!” says Stone, watching on a monitor. “See the door?”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“THERE ARE NOW TWO MINUTES TO SELF-DESTRUCT,” says the announcer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hall sees a very distorted Level Three door floating in front of him. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
