As you crawl deeper, the sights in the vent grates you pass change to more interesting ones. The nerd didn't bullshit you after all. There are rooms with strange machinery, way more guards, and finally – a room with a bunch of holding cells. An engineer-looking guy argues with a g-man loudly enough for you to overhear.

– "Listen you gotta store them somewhere else! This isn't a monster prison, we're only supposed to hold them for a few hours before the essence converter warms up! But you just keep bringing new ones, we got a queue that's like 30 hours long already!" The man in a vest looks exhausted, but none of his words seem to get through the fed's pocker face.
– "You can hold them for 30 hours, so that's what we're going to do. We have provided additional security, and we can provide more if necessary. Keep them sedated or electrocuted or whatever works. Those are the last of the big batch anyway. Unless the new wave of humans turning is hitting, but then.." Fed adjusts his sunglasses that he's wearing indoors at night. "Then the lack of proper holding facilities is going to be the last of our concerns."

The engineer sighs. "Man, sedating a monster isn't even a thing.. You should just kill them all off, those orbs aren't worth the danger.." He avoids the dead stare of the fed. "Yeah, yeah, not for me to decide, whatever. Send all the extra guys then. 'Cause you hear that?" The engineer points with his thumb at a metal box which is leaking steam and shaking at the constant pounding from the inside. "When there's a breakout, I want the bastard pulped in seconds. No chances." The Fed grips his briefcase tighter at that and nods. "Do your job and leave security to me."

How nice, humans are all working together. To kill you. Well, you can easily tell which box Rayle is in. The snail guy is probably in one leaking slime and.. smoking a little? Is he making acid in there? There are a bunch of other containment boxes. Lots of security, all on edge. You watch as one of the monster cells gets carted away on a forklift. Well, you have come here to do something, what is it?

WHAT TO DO?
>Burst out of the vent, rush Rayle's box and slam the lock with the Stick.
>Burst out of the vent, rush snail guy's box and slam the lock with the Stick.
>Follow the box they're carting away.
>Exit the vents quietly and try to approach the least visible monster box without being seen. Maybe you can quickly free someone without starting a fight.
