Haresh and his group had managed to seal off the gas but to their horror they noticed that it was leaking from the observatory and some other spots in the back.
Dr. Zanasiu, Rime, Zachary, Ms. Swimmer and Mr. Bigmouth made their way back to the lobby.
Dr. Zanasiu leapt into the portal.
------------------------
Dr. Zanasiu ended up in the Thundering Falls Lake. He ignored the stares of the inhabitants and found Strut and Deimos were awake and gathering food.
"What's the problem, James?" Deimos asked. He was eating a large fish.
"Gas leak," Dr. Zanasiu replied.
Deimos gulped the rest of the fish down and bolted into the portal. Dr. Zanasiu and Strut followed.
---------------------
Deimos quickly donned his chemical protective gear and a scuba tank.
"We're going to need to find a way to refill these tanks," Deimos said, voice muffled by the mask.
He the grabbed a bucket, filled it with plastic garbage bags and rolls of duct tape. He then headed to the back sections of the hotel, which were slowly becoming contaminated.
Many of the refugees were strangely calm but a fair number were assisting in sealing up the hotel.
