Inside the cave, Nathan Lockwood and the others, who were just trying to figure out how to get in, suddenly noticed the cavern fill with a clamor of anxious voices.
Droves of robots, clutching stacks of documents and various materials, came pouring frantically out of the cave.
The main door, which normally required a scan to open, now stood wide open. A constant stream of people in disheveled lab coats ran out.
"A Xenobeast Tide? It's starting here? Are you kidding me?"
"Didn't you see Engineer Jarvis tell everyone to evacuate? What's so impossible about it?"
"Hurry, we've got all the documents. Engineer Jarvis said to just grab the data and leave the rest to the robots. Let's get to the assembly point."
The two of them hurried outside, and behind them were many more pairs just like them.
One of them stumbled and almost fell, but the person next to him grabbed his arm. "Old Man Chambers, I've got you. Let's run."
