Stranger In A Strange Land Part 2

Waking up amongst either the dead, dying, or the dessicated, two men come together in a room full of bodies suspended from the ceiling. Realizing that they can communicated via Telepathy is an interesting few minutes.Moving very slowly, due to the muscles atrophied from months of non-use, they explore and find 3 more rooms full of bodies and a locker room. Entering the locker room, they find a changes of clothes and a gun and a nightstick. Hearing someone approaching they notice a female completely bedraggled, filthy and brandishing a club of her own. With a wild  and hungry look in her eye, she charges at half speed. Attacking and hitting she wounds "Tim" and "Levi" shoots in the air with his gun. A male appears and the female both stop and proclaim that they can 'help' Some talking about what they have been eating since it appears that 6-9 months have elapsed since they were captured. More exploring, split up with the new people who also say a bomb was exploded high up on the elevator shaft and it is blocked. Levi spots a medium sized winged, tentacled dark skin creature bent over a suspended human in one of the coma rooms. He shoots and hits it, and it retreats. Tim is off with the guy and girl who go off on their own a few minutes later there are screams and can't find them. They find the elevator shaft that extends up and down into darkness.
They find two large surgery sections with airlocks passing to two completely separate surgery sections that are in accessible due to the two large security doors. "Levi" being ex-military demolitions  finds materials to make a shaped charge and plants the hinge on one of the doors while 'Tim' explores about getting the power on in the Maintainence section downstairs. He finds the server level full of mainframes and data storage, and next level down he finds a dead and bloated guard and a locked steel door leading to Maintenance.  He searches for the keys and doesn't find them. In his head he hears that 'he swallowed them'. Put off by the thought, 'Tim' turns to leave, when suddenly he finds himself on his knees elbow deep in the guards stinking chest cavity with keys in hand. Promptly making a check of his own sanity, he heads back to 'levi'.
The detonate the charge and gain entry into a security checkpoint with thick glass another locked door, and on the floor behind the glass, is a pentagram. Not finding entry to the other side they instead head to Maintenance and find generators, not running, water and sewage reclamation, a large humanoid with half a alien species from the top of his head down his back complete with vestigial wings and small tail. Barely able to communicate he explains that  he shut off the generators prematurely so they still have some fuel and they find that the creatures are the Mi-Go, a extra-dimensional group of aliens with unknown everything. Finding a exhaust vent and fire oxygen gear there is a dumb waiter cleaning pulley system in the vent that leads to the surface. Riding up to the top they find themselves in the woods. Coming to Menominee Township and a gas station the attendant immediately calls the police. Taken in and questioned, sampled told not to leave the state they are released. As they are leaving there are miltary vehicles showing up on the roads.
'tim' calls a few of his cultist friends for some money so he can go back and get video and information on the project. 'levi' just wants to go back to normal but is called to action again.

Grabbing some weapons,  gear and GPS, they head back down from Iron Mountain to a old logging road 'tim' remembers that is on the NW side of where they came out. Crossing the terrain, they come to the hatch realize the generators are off but there is also air passing through as well.
Riding back down they find the lights on, computers, etc. Talking with 'Quatto', who is somehow still alive tells them nothing really new but the lights and the occasional drilling sound from somewhere.
They go off and explore again to get video footage of the entire thing. Coming into a coma room, they find  another male waking up. They tell him whats happened and get him a change of clothes and shower. He'aj' explains hes a movie star ie Viggo on the run from some kind of debt. They find pentagrams at both security doors with strange white powder over the lines. Smudging it with his foot 'levi' activates the gate and a puddle of dark liquid  appears and 3 very small flying 'bugs' charge out. Shooting 'levi' manages to kill one, much whacking and damage that stuns. The remaining insect flies off. Using the Maintenance key they gain entry to the other side and find grisly work on Mi-Go, large cylinders of fluid with Mi-Go floating dead, lots of Mi-Go in a room similar to the coma room,  research room/testing room full of beakers and computers and sequencing equipment. Two surgery rooms with a few dead humans. They find that the computers are in the process of a full core dump to the surface, presumably by the military and they set out to cut off the information so that no one can have access to it. Heading down to the computer level, they find a Mi-Go busy on a terminal. 'levi' approaches speaking telepathically he finds out the Mi-Go is stopping the transfer and setting the self destruction 10 megaton device.
The Mi-Go asks if they want to come with him, and only 'tim' agrees. Heading to a larger pentagram, activating it, 'tim' gives 'levi' all his data and video camera etc and tells him to 'catch this' as he and the Mi-Go vanish across the horizon.

'aj' and 'levi' make their way back to the exhaust vent and help 'quatto' up and they ascend tot he top of the vent only to find a detachment of military who immediately confiscate everything and kill 'quatto'  take 'levi'  and 'aj' into custody and send them to Guantanamo for treatment.
The soldier that took the video had a greedy streak and they got posted on youtube within a month. Currently, one of the highest rated conspiracy videos.

Meanwhile, on Yuggoth 'tim' finds out what it means to learn new things.
