Survival CYOA

That's just the way in turned out, Xenon. Haha, look at it this way: since there's only three of you, there's usually never a stalemate.
"Let's follow up your lead," you say to Claire. "Lead the way, but stay close."
"O-okay..." Claire replies as you make your way out of the kitchen. Now in the cafeteria, you see that the smaller male Eggleayer is helping some of the now hatching eggs out of their confines and leading them to the pile of bodies. You also notice that the female is laying fresh replacements. "One week," you hear Claire say as you stealthily move around the two creatures.
"What do you mean?" you ask.
"An Egglayer matures in one day," she answers. "Males then have one week to live and impregnate as many females. It's strange and impossible to explain, but females only seem to die once they lay a total of three batches of eggs. For the month I've been here, Egglayes have come and gone in many different parts of the facility. Never once have I seen them overpopulate an area though. They seem to try and maintain an equilibrium with their environment."
You make it out of the cafeteria as you follow Claire. You seal the bulkhead shut behind you and begin to walk down the hall and back to the quarters. "How's that even possible?" you ask another question. "With how fast they breed, they should be spreading like crazy."
"Th-that's the thing. They seem to regulate their breeding habits with how much the environment can provide," Claire answers. "When there use to be plentiful bodies from facility members, they bred like crazy. Now it's dramatically slowed to a crawl. Goes to show how big of a food source this 'master' Rachel talked about could be if they live off it's body. H-he must never be awakened."
As you reached the crew quarters, you ask Claire to pause as you swing the flashlight back and forth for any sign of the Broodkeeper. "So this 'master,'" you start. "What is he?"
You make your way to Rachel's quarters as Claire speaks. "No one knows what he looks like," she answers. "What we do know is that he seems to be all powerful and that he sounds ominous. If the Egglayers are what keep him asleep, then we must make sure that last Broodkeeper dies. Alright, there are a few rooms we haven't checked and Rachel's is a primary spot. Let's get searching."
"Alright," you say. You decide to:
A. Help Claire look for the code in Rachel's quarters
B. Check the remaining quarters you have yet to search
C. See if you can figure something out on Rachel's computer
D. Abandon the search and ask Claire for help with something else

I know, I know. Majority rules and all that.
I suggest C. If it has a connection, which it should since Rachel has been in contact with above, we might be able to notify the surface for aid.

C indeed! Computers tend to have a plethora of information to make use of.

You take a look at the tiny generator attached to what used to be Rachel's computer. You question your decision about killing her before booting it up. You peek over to make sure Claire is okay as she sifts through Rachel's shelves and belongings. As it boots up, you take a curiosity to the young girl. "How old are you?" you ask.
"Huh?" she asks back.
"I asked how old you are. If we're gonna be keeping each other company for the foreseeable future, might as well get to know a little about you," you say. "Like how old you are, or what your life was like before all this."
"I w-was just a simple scientist," she says. "And I'm nineteen. I dropped out of College."
"Guess that wasn't the biggest mistake you made considering where you are now," you say as the computer finally boots up. You frown upon seeing a password screen.
"You mean stuck in a collapsing facility miles under the ocean?" Yeah, this is definitely where I wanted to go," Claire Jokes making you happy that her moods pick up. "And I didn't drop out because I didn't think I could make it. I dropped out because I thought I could find my own opportunity with my knowledge. Kind of like Gabe Newell."
"Who?" you ask.
"Never mind," Claire says. "Should have just used a more popular example."
"This thing needs a password. Think you could hack it?" you ask Claire.
"I'm not that kind of Genius," she says.
You continue to type in no nonsense words in hopes that one will finally work. You try to fit it to Rachel's attitude, but none seem to work. "I found it!" you hear Claire say as she looks at a paper in her hand. Your attention than snaps back onto the screen when you here a beeping noise. You read the words:
You then look below the words and see a number that's been counting down. It's now at two seconds giving you just mere moments to:
A. Attempt to run up to Claire and protect her with your body
B. Attempt to run up to Claire and try to run out of the room together
C. Attempt to run out of the room and save yourself
D. Snatch the paper out of Claire's hand then attempt to run out of the room

Spoiler:
No, A/E, the most logical conclusion is to seriously dive at Claire and take to the ground, shielding your heads and necks. That's standard explosion survival 101, you'd be dead otherwise. You can't just get up and run from an explosion in less than two seconds, basically one to get out of your chair.

You bolt out of your chair and dive for Claire. "Get down!" you scream as you tackle her to the floor. You turn around an notice nothing happen. You lay on top of Claire for a few more seconds before getting off of her."Stay still," you say as you flip the nearby table in the room on it's side. You poke your head out of safety and observe the monitor. "I don't get it," you say. "I thought for sure it would blow. Stay behind the table, I'm going to check it out."
"D-don't!" Claire says. "It's Rachel's remember? It could be rigged..."
"I know," you reply. "But it's our only way out. Besides, if it explodes and stops transmitting reports to the surface, they might realize something's wrong and send help." You then leap over the table and cautiously make your way towards the computer. The monitor is glowing brightly and it lights up the wall in front of it which has a mirror. You look into the mirror and read the reflection. It's backwards, but it's nothing confusing. You notice that the timer has stalled at one second. "How?" you whisper to yourself.
"P-please be careful," Claire says from behind the table.
"I will," you say just as you take another step towards the monitor. You then her a distinct sound as you notice there appears to be a small device crudely wired to the monitor. It looks like an old motion detector and you now see the countdown go from one to zero in the mirror's reflection.
You have an instant to:
A. Try and run out of the room
B. Try and run back to Claire and the table
C. Try and remove the motion detector hoping the countdown will stop
D. Dive for the ground and try to get as low as possible

"Shit!" you say as you dive for the ground. The monitor explodes sending shrapnel and debris flying across the room. You feel the concussive shock wave of the blast hit your body like a brick wall before pieces of metal bury themselves in the side of your body. You scream in pain and roll on your back as Claire jumps from behind the safety of the table.
"O-oh my gosh!" she says panicking. She starts mumbling and pointing at different parts of your body. "S-six! There are six pieces!" O-oh no!"
"Calm down," you say in agony. "Take a deep breath and assess the situation."
"U-um o-okay," Claire says. She unbuttons your shirt to take a closer look at the shards. "Th-this might sting a little," she says before placing her hands around the entrance wounds. You wince as she presses with a little pressure. "O-okay! Nothing vital got hit. Th-the deepest one got stopped by your rib cage. I think one of your ribs might be slightly fractured."
"That's good! Haha, the wall took more hits than me," you say to keep her positive. "I can handle a little pain in my chest. A few stitches and I'll be fine right?"
"Y-yeah. Let's get these out," says Claire.
"Of course," you reply before deciding to:
A. Ask Claire to drag/carry you to the infirmary
B. Ask Claire to get some supplies from the infirmary and stitch you up here
C. Just Rest here for a while until your capable of moving yourself
D. Ask Claire to go on without you

B, clearly. She has been getting around without us for a while, so she should be alright.

Alright, I'm back from the void that is class work and group meetings.
"See if you can get something from the infirmary," you advise Claire. "Take the flashlight with you."
"O-okay!" she says before rushing out.
You can hear her fumbling from the next room over as she picks up supplies. You feel relieved when you hear her running back. Claire walks back into your view with a sterile bin full of medical supplies. She puts on a pair of gloves and takes a deep breath. "You can do this," you assure her with a smile. She simply nods and grasps the first piece of metal firmly. "Th-this is gonna hurt..." she says.
"Just do it quick," you say as you close your eyes and grit your teeth. Claire rips out the piece and you scream in pain. She quickly pours alcohol on a towel and places it right on the wound. "Oh God!" you say as Claire threads a needle. She then starts to suture your wound shut to your discomfort. Compared to yourself, Claire is very methodical and the suture looks precise. When she finishes, she takes a deep breath followed by a sigh of relief. "Five to go," she says as she looks at you. "S-sorry there's nothing to numb the pain."
"It's fine," you say as you ready yourself for the pain to come. You spend the next hour in agonizing discomfort as Claire patches you up. When she finishes, Claire rests herself against the wall and sighs. "Good job," you say weakly.
"S-so, what now? Claire asks.
"Good question..." you say as you decide to:
A. Close the bulkhead to Rachel's quarters and rest for a bit
B. Ask if Claire has an idea for a way out
C. Make your way to the Armory
D. Find the last Broodkeeper

I agree. C!
To get out, we'll need to fight our way out. We need something other than scalpels to fend ourselves.

"Let's get a move on," you say as you get up. You feel a rush of delirium travel up your body and you immediately stumble towards one of the walls.
"Y-your ear! It's bleeding!" Claire says concerned. "I th-think you might have ruptured an eardrum."
"And here I though I covered my ears from the noise," you say with a smile. You push off of the wall struggling to maintain balance before Claire supports you. "Let's head for that armory."
"Y-yes!" Claire says as you two start to walk. She picks up your pouch and carries it herself to lessen the burden on you. She then pulls out a bottle of water. "D-drink this," she says. "It should help."
"Thanks," you say accepting the bottle. "It's fine I covered my ears. It'll heal."
"It takes a month for a ruptured eardrum to naturally heal! And that's only if you managed to protect it when it ruptured!" Claire says worriedly. "Everything is not fine!"
"I'm telling you it is," you reply. "You gotta stay positive. For me."
"O-okay, I-I'll try," Claire says. The two of you make your way over back down the hall and to the cafeteria. As Claire opens the door, you notice all the hatched Egglayers viciously devouring the bodies. The male is watching over the young while the female is nowhere to be found. There is however, a new batch of eggs that have coated the room. You assume the female has gone out to search for more food. "What I'd give to be able to just come and go as I please," Claire says.
"What do you mean?" you ask.
"The female probably went out via the docking bay to look for more food since this facility is out," she answers. "I wish we could just swim to the surface from the docking bay, but the pressure would kill us."
"We'll find a way back!" you say. "Now let's get to that armory while they're distracted." The two of you make your way to the armory where Claire sets the code. She grasps the bulkhead and it twists open with a quiet pop. You then let yourselves in. You are in a long lit hallway with a shaft with a ladder leading down at the other end. You look up and notice the vent has bee broken open indicating something has already made it in here before you. "There's power here," you say. You look at the nervous Claire before looking at the shaft. You decide to:

"Ready?" you ask Claire.
"A-as I'll ever be..." she says. The two of you make your way to the end of the hallway. You notice a shirt next to the shaft and Claire gasps. "Th-that's Rachel's shirt!"
"Egglayers are in the cafeteria so it couldn't have been them. Stay on your guard," you say. "I'll go down first." You take hold of the ladder and make your way down. You wonder how theirs power here and immediately assume that there must be another generator for this area specifically. Even though you ran maintenance, this specific area of the facility was always off limits to you. You look up to make sure Claire is following you and she is just a few steps above you. You suddenly feel a wave of dizziness and you lose your grip and fall about ten feet ten feet from the bottom.
"A-are you okay?!" Claire asks worried.
"I'm fine," you say as you rub your head. Suddenly, the entire room illuminates with lights. It is quite the large room and there are more than just weapons. "There's all sort of things down here!" you exclaim just as Claire reaches the bottom.
"What is all this?" Claire asks.
"What do you mean?" you ask back.
"Th-these are all our prototypes that were scratched..." she says surprised. "I thought all of these were abandoned. Not only are they here, but their all completed..."
"How's that possible?" you ask.
"Rachel..." Claire says simply.
"What do you mean?" you ask another question.
"Sh-she must have been working on them secretly! She's been crazy even before we found the Isopods!" answers Claire.
"Well, whatever the case, let's have a look around. Let's see here..." you say as you decide to:

B. Examine the "Emergency Weaponry/Equipment" section
