Survival CYOA

You search the cupboards and find some kitchen appliances. You pull out a scalpel from your pouch and cut the wires before tying Rachel with them. When you're sure she can't escape, you make a deep sigh of relief as you lean against the wall. After a few deep breaths, you look at the still frightened girl. "Are you okay?" you ask her. She simply nods and says nothing. "Are you Claire perchance?" you ask her another question.
"Y-Yes," she replies stuttering. "I-I remember y-you. Y-you were one of the maintenance crew members. H-how are you still alive?"
"I got knocked out into a coma in the shaft leading to the oceanic trench section," you answer. "I could use some food now though."
"There's some over there," Claire points to the pantries near the back. "H-help yourself."
You make your way to one of the pantries and find plenty of rotting produce and meat in the coolers. You then inspect the shelves to find plenty of canned food and other assortments. You grab a packet of jerky and open it before heading back to the kitchen. You look at Claire still huddled next to the one of the corners. "Is there a way out of here?" you ask her.
"I know a way out," she answers. "B-but it won't matter if we don't kill all the Broodkeepers..."
"There's only one left," you assure her.
"Really?" Claire replies. "Then the world might not be doomed after all."
You question what she means before you:
A. Ask her about a way out once more
B. Ask her about what she last said
C. Ask her if she's seen the code for the armory
D. Ask her about Rachel
E. Other

"Rachel," you start. "What's up with Rachel?"
"S-she's one of the head scientists. I'm another one," Claire answers.
"You're a head scientist?" you ask surprised. "Why, you're just a few years younger than me! An I'm not that old at all!"
"Ch-child prodigy," she says with a small smile. "I-I'm a little outspoken by Douglas and Rachel though. They were the other two heads. Anyway, the day we finally caught one of each Isopod, Rachel just started acting oddly. She's always been eccentric so we thought she was just being stranger than usual. She then started mentioning that we need to find a way to get the other two "antibodies" or Broodkeepers onto the facility to raise their children children and fight off the "parasites" or Egglayers. In the hours we waited for the specimens to come back from the trench, they mysteriously escaped at some point. It wasn't after a few days later when everything was in chaos that we figured out Rachel had a hand in it. She also mentioned that the last thing she wanted was to release the Egglayer as well. From then on, Rachel somehow got the other two Broodkeepers in the facility. It didn't take until it was only me and Douglass left that I figured out the truth. Poor Douglas should have hidden somewhere else other than his room..."
You think about what she means by the truth and if somehow connects to her statement about the state of the world. You decide to:
A. Ask about the truth and it's possible relation to one of her statements
B. Ask if she knows the way out
C. Ask if she knows where the code to the armory is
D. Get ready to leave the kitchen and take Claire with you

Look at the jerky do work for our life gain! Woo~
Anyways, I choose A. maybe it's wasting time, but it could be information that is valuable down the line. Or maybe I'm just curious.

As much as I'd love to find out what's happening as well, C is much more pressing if it can help us escape alive, but I may be outvoted.
Love that HP gain, but something tells me crazr wouldn't give it to us if there weren't something scary ahead of us...

"Earlier you mentioned something about the world," you say to Claire. "Is this related to the truth that you're talking about?"
"Y-yes," answers Claire. "You see..."
"It's our Judgment!" you hear Rachel say from behind you as she cuts off Claire. "The master sleeps at the bottom of the infinite darkness. What we had first believed was the sea floor is not the sea floor, but rather the master! Do you see those parasite outside the kitchen laying filthy eggs? They are a plague that keeps him from waking. They sap away at his strength and keep him asleep. He is so weak now that he can't even produce the antibodies to fight off his disease. Don't you see? That's the reason I brought those three creatures here! They are the last three female antibodies. They are the only ones that can create more of their species now since the master is too weak. Without them to destroy the parasites that fester on his body, he will never awaken and therefore cannot pass judgement to our kind."
"Are you insane? That's a completely outrageous story! It's absurd!" you exclaim.
"I-It's true!" Claire cuts in. "I kn-know it sounds crazy, but it's true."
"So you're telling me there's some giant monster at the bottom of the ocean and that the Egglayers are keeping him from destroying the world?!" you ask irritated. "I read your notes. You're just as crazy as her!"
"Not destroy it," says Rachel. "He will be our savior.The human race is doomed. The master has told me that he is the only one who can save it from his own parasites. But our kind is ignorant. They would rather die slowly than be saved. If you know what's good for yourself and our kind, you should free me!"
"D-don't listen to her!" Claire says. "Sh-she's desperate, any person tied up with their life no longer in their control would say anything to escape. You have to believe me that we need to kill that last Broodkeeper."
"If you kill that creature, you kill humanity's last hope," says Rachel. "Think about it! Look at how fast these parasites spread across the facility on their initial escape. If it were not for the antibodies, they would have overtaken us much faster. You said it yourself, she's just as crazy as me. She's a prodigy remember? She's just acting and deceiving you. I wasn't the only one affected after finding those creatures, everyone was. She is spoon feeding you lies!"
"I am not crazy! Claire exclaims. "I AM NOT CRAZY!"
"Look at her panic," says Rachel calmly. She knows that you doubt her. Look at her and tell me who is really desperate. Please. PLEASE! You have to believe me... I swear I'm telling the truth."
"D-don't listen to her!" Claire pleads. "I swear to you. Everything she's saying is a lie!"
"Let's use logic," says Rachel. "You'll believe in logic won't you? True, I have done questionable things, but it is all for the greater good. Those men I fed to the antibodies were already dead! And what else was I suppose to eat if Claire locked herself in the kitchen here at the heart of the parasites' nest? Plus, think what would happen if we were rescued? What if a few hatchlings which grow to maturity in twenty-four hours were to enter our rescue sub unnoticed? What then? I've kept the surface thinking we're okay so that it doesn't spread."
You look at both women and grit your teeth. The story sounds like something out of a science fiction, yet you believe. You then doubt. Claire is a prodigy; for all you know, she could be lying. On the other hand, Rachel tried to kill you. "Please don't make me do this," you say. "Don't make me decide..."
"You don't have too," says Claire. You can just run away and leave us both here. Just promise me you'll kill the last Broodkeeper if you do."
"She is young," says Rachel. "She has no good argument other than to use emotion to sway you to her side. If you do leave us, please... I beg of you! Find a way to make sure the last antibody's brood survives."
You look at both women once more and decide to:
A. Side with Rachel and untie her
B. Side with Claire and get ready to leave
C. Side with neither and subdue Claire before leaving
D. Side with neither and kill both before leaving
E. Other

The story sounds like something out of a sci-fi fiction, yet you believe.Sci-fi fiction is redundant. Fi already stands for fiction.
With all information provided, I'm more inclined to believe Claire even still. Not because she persuades with emotion, but because Rachel's arguments are clearly psychotic. She has not explained how she can speak or contact this 'master,' forget that he's asleep. If all this is true, it is not her place to make decisions on behalf of humanity, no matter how much she believes she can spare it from harm. Even if they can spread onto a rescue submarine, that is again not her place to expect their precautions to be flawed. If the purpose of the master is to pass 'judgment,' then he should still stay asleep, because any being that thinks they can pass judgment on any other sentient being for no logical reason has no business existing in the first place. She has yet to say what he will save them from, regardless. So, she can remain bound.
Thus, I'm in favor of B.

Duly noted! Anyway, time to update!
"Let's go Claire," you say to her as you help her up.
"Thank you, thank you so much!" Claire says happily.
"Don't be a fool!" exclaims Rachel. "You're making a mistake!"
"Let's pack some food and let's head out of here," you say ignoring Rachel. "Do you know the code to the armory?"
"No, but I think I might know where it's at," Claire answers.
"Good," you say. "Let's get a move on then."
"Wh-what about Rachel?" she asks.
You turn around and look at Rachel. You decide to:
A. Finish Rachel off and leave
B. Keep her tied up and leave
C. Untie her and take her with you
D. Keep her tied and take her with you

You take a scalpel out of your pouch. "It's too dangerous to keep her alive," you say. "I'm taking her out."
"Y-you can't!" Claire pleads. "Sh-she's done awful things, but what good will it do?"
"What if she escapes?" you ask Claire. "You know she's gonna try to kill us right? I'm taking her out."
"P-please don't!" Claire pleads teary eyed. "I-I've seen enough death. Please don't do it."
"Sorry, Claire. I have to," you say.
"Then can I at least go outside?" Claire asks.
"I'm afraid not," you answer. "The Cafeteria is full of Egglayers. Just turn around."
"O-okay..." Claire says as she turns around and closes her eyes.
You take a deep breath and push Rachel against the wall. You've never killed a person before so your heart is racing. You look into her eyes and she simply smiles at you. "Do what you have to do," she says confidently. You take one final deep breath and hold it in. Your hands tremble fiercely as you stick the scalpel in her neck. You twist the blade before ripping it out and letting Rachel go. Her body slides right falling on her shoulder as she chokes in air. "You're doomed..." she coughs out. "You're never going to escape."
You ignore Rachel's last words and put your hands on Claire's shoulders. "It's over," you say. "Don't turn around and let's go."
"O-okay," she says sniveling. "What's the plan?"
You decide to:
A. Try to find a safe place for a break
B. Ask Claire about ideas for escape
C. Ask Claire to follow her lead on the code
D. Find the last Broodkeeper
