The tell tail warning klaxons screamed from down the hall, followed by a series of minor woofing thumps, and then several less minor explosions. All this was just the prelude to the door being blown off the hinges, its charred remains arching out across the hallway with little fire trails of their own. The muffled alert siren now a wailing banshee, reverberated down the hall as a thick cloud of smog rolled out from the now open doorway.
