EMERGENCY REPAIRS
Haurchefant's sacrifice buys time. The monster has to wind back through the maze of machinery to catch up to everyone running away--while it's very quick, it can't make up the distance. Those remaining underground move through room after room until finally they return to the first break room, identifiable by the number of beds being enough to fit all of them. Well, all of them minus one, now. The doorway they just went through lights up in blue and seals shut. The monster slams into it perhaps thirty seconds later, burbling and pushing but unable to break through. The administrator speaks: "Control has been regained, and repairs are complete. I apologize for the issues. Please wait, and you will be returned to your previous location." One by one, above ground and below ground, everyone passes out. They're unconscious until morning, when everyone below ground will find themselves in the house they left a few days ago. They still wear the injuries gained downstairs as a reminder of what happened. All houses are unlocked--travel can now resume. Better get moving.
