The smoke from electrical fires can't filter through broken-down ventilators, hangs thick and hazy in the air. Even the slightest movement makes it whirl and ripple, like so much ink in water.
Emergency red lights flash discordantly, showing the lines of passage to emergency exits. There are people coughing, people wailing, talking, so much noise that it makes something strange flex darkly in the back of his mind--
"Keep passing out that water! Dampen your sleeve, or some other fabric, hold it to your mouth when you breathe," he spoke loudly and evenly, tried to quell the loudest noises with the force of his calm. "Families and children -- if you see anyone with families and children, let them go forward ahead of you. The emergency walkway is narrow, you must go one at a time. Someone else will lead you on the other side."
Between the sound of his own talking, he leveraged the whole of his might against a half-collapsed metal door. He wasn't sure how many people were on the other side, but he wasn't going to let them stay there.
