He closes his paw, snuffing the flame. Then, he uses telekinesis to force the door open.
The door slams open, revealing what was once a greenhouse. Everything is overgrown with vegetation, and there appear to be human skeletons mixed up in the undergrowth. All the plants by the door seem to be thorny, poisonous, and aggressive, and they immediately turn towards the intruder.
"You guys using bodies for fertilizer around here?" His fur begins to sizzle, becoming blue embers as he walks over the bones. Any attack, even a thorn's prick or an attempt to restrain him, causes him to instantly ignite, dealing 20 fire damage to the offender.
"Sounds about right. I have my own filtration system, but lately I've had to clean it every day it seems like. Too much guts."
'Don't like to think what could have gotten into the water mains. Some are blaming the Syn additives, but I think it goes deeper'
"Syn creating human remains is a stretch."
'Yeah. It's not us, that's for sure. Wouldn't have been a bad way to spread panic, kinda wish I'd thought of it sooner. And the Journeymen? They tend to put their dead on view when they can, not dump them into the city's water supply. And certainly not unmarked and in such a random fashion'

The second figure stands up. "Fine, you can go. But only because I know Willow won't stop complaining if I kill you." Both figures step forwards into the light, and they can now be seen clearly. They both appear to be young women in their early 20s, but are obviously not entirely human. One of them is taller, with light skin and blood-red hair that seems to be covered in drops of water. The other looks to be younger, with darker skin and short wavy hair. The taller one speaks. "By the way, I'm Sundew and that's Willow. If you do send people after us, we'll know and we'll find you." They pull the large metal door back open and seem to communicate with the plants, which move to create an easy path out.
'We won't, don't worry. How long have you been here? How have you been surviving'
Sundew sighs. "Ghavoran has been here for years. We made it our own only a couple months ago. The heat lamps and artificial suns make it a good environment to stay in, and luckily Willow has enough tech knowledge to keep them running. The only real problem is nutrients."

After the first couple strikes, the plants recoil with a shrieking noise. The few that ignited either separate themselves from the rest and burn away or are drenched with water contained within cupped flower buds. Atticus is able to very easily make his way through the greenhouse to a clearing.
