Ground Zero
"Ah what's to know? I'll figure everything out on my own. I'm getting a drink of water and checking out my new computer."
As you proceed to do this, the Shelter begins to warn you again.
"Sir, I don't think you should have a cup of water near the computer like that, if it spilled on it, it could cause trouble in my systems. Maybe you should read the Shelter manual. Particularly the chapter on safety."
"Will you leave me alone? Hey what's this? This is the fuckin' internet?"
"It's a limited networking system to other shelters. Sir, your cup of water! You're going to spill it!"
"No I'm "
BUZZZ!
You spill your water on the keyboard and short something out. It sparks and suddenly erupts a small flame! You immediately run out of the room and notice the light dimming a bit.
"Sir, I'm afraid that something vital has been compromised sir, I am attempting to correct "
"Shelter! Isn't there a fuckin' extinguisher somewhere?!"
"I'm afraid not sir, I was supposed to be equipped with one, but there were budget cuts "
"Well what about a sprinkler system!?"
"Budget cuts and might I point out that, it would most likely make the electrical fire worse."
Lacking any other ideas, you run to grab a sheet from the bedroom and hope to smoother the flame like you remember seeing in an old GI Joe cartoon. Unfortunately due to the lighting flickering on and off, you trip and smash your leg really good causing a limp. By the time you return the fire has spread a little more and now it's giving off smoke and the smell of ozone is hitting you. That shit can't be good for you to breathe in.
"Goddamn it! Didn't these fuckers understand the concept of insulated wiring!?"
"It is sir well most of it there were "
"I know! Fuckin' budget cuts! Close the door, maybe the fire will burn itself out!"
Normally the Shelter would know to wait for you to get out of the room first, but the fire is wreaking havoc on its command systems right now and it isn't as responsive as it should be, or in this case too responsive since the door slams shut with you inside.
"NO! OPEN THE FUCKING DOOR!"
"I-I-I am att-ttempting to sir, my power levels a-a-re "
Suddenly electrical arcs begin generating from the computer which is now totally engulfed in flames, in desperation you vainly attempt to open the metal door, which probably wasn't the best idea as the entire room has become charged with electricity. You receive a nasty shock which throws you back, right into the fire.
Your last agonizing moments as your flesh toasts and burns, are you seeing the door opening up.
