Zeph began to calm down a bit. After the door had opened, which had given him a rush of adrenaline, he realized he needed to explain to Rugal why he needed to do this.
"I apologize for acting hasty earlier, but I really did know what I was doing. The most advantageous living arrangement for me right now would be in the basement, though I see your point in that there is at least some merit in waiting. I can wait, but I will not be prohibited. From what you've told me, this lab is top-notch, and eliminating the monsters in side as well as regaining this lab would be the best move at this time. I also miss being able to tinker around with weapons and such. There's so much potential for this area that I'm just astounded no one's cleared it out before. I'm either going in right now and clearing it out myself, or waiting a day or two until the rest of the gang can help me with my spring cleaning. It needs to be done. It doesn't matter how fearsome those monsters are."
