Exit Gates

"The only possible escape lies behind huge ornate metal gates. They taunt me every time I lay my eyes on them keeping me in, as a caged animal. But as I discovered, they can be opened. Somehow these Generators are the key to getting them open. As I managed to repair enough of them, the gates opened, and I ran with all my soul towards the campfire in the distance. Sometimes I escape and sometimes I stare The Entity in the eye and wake up at the never ending fire. Why aren't the Killers following me through the gates? I might never know."

- Benedict Baker's Journal
