We don't get called to the outer labs all too often but when we do it's because something's gone very wrong. I'm not talking your garden variety of wrong either, this is way worse than a few broken test tubes or a chemical spill.
The first thing we do is check the windows and doors for breaks in the seals. If they're going to insist on messing with creatures from other dimensions then they can at least make sure that whatever they summon stays put. We just won't have a big enough crew to clean up after them again.
Last time cost us eight fully trained members of staff, none of which have been replaced yet because this is one of the few non-military jobs where death is a very likely outcome. The pay doesn't really make up for everything they put us up against.
The outer labs are by far the worst of it all, worse than summons from another dimension, worse than just plain old murder even. The outer labs don't leave survivors. Everyone who goes in there runs a 96% chance of dying just from proximity to their projects, not that we even know what they are.
This will be my second visit, making me a veteran of the outer labs.
Wish me luck.
