The guards in black drag you over to a padded table fitted with clamps. A memory flashes through your mind of being strapped to a table just like that. It's not a good memory and features lots of screaming.
With a burst of strength, you break out of the guards' grip and take off running.
"Don't kill him!" yells the man in white. You are already running down the hallway with the pounding feet of the guards right behind you.
You burst into a room filled with lab equipment - tables full of glassware, monitors, odd instruments, and many feet of tubing and wires. You swing a table around behind you and hear a satisfying crash as the two guards tumble over it.
That buys you enough time to duck into a closet and freeze. The guards go running by your hiding place. You catch your breath at last, but it's not over yet. The guards will be back. You can't just stand there forever.
Then you remember the strange device that got you here in the first place, that translucent green object that you picked up in the caverns after you entered the red door. You snatch it out of your pocket and push at it and squeeze it, but nothing happens.
Suddenly the guards reappear and they see you. There is nowhere to run, but then there is a sudden flash of light. You have managed to trigger the device again. This time the results are different. Reality fragments around you and you find yourself unable to perceive anything correctly. The fragments of reality spin and shift and you become completely disoriented.
