Thomas finds himself in complete darkness and then into the waiting hands of Teresa and Chuck. Without Teresa’s flashlight, the place would be pitch black. Thomas ascertains that they are in a cold, ten-foot high cylinder covered in grimy oil. Chuck yells for them to type in the code, and Thomas tells Teresa to punch it in while he and Chuck keep watch for Grievers. As Teresa types in the code, a Griever jumps through the Griever Hole. Thomas pushes Chuck behind him and uses his spear to cut off one the Griever’s spikes. The Griever shrieks loudly and retreats, and Thomas realizes that Grievers can be killed. Teresa yells that she is not able to punch in the last word, PUSH, but Thomas rushes at the injured Griever, jumping on top of it and plunging his spear into its body. The creature begins shaking violently and yellow ooze emanates from its body, before it shuts down.
