All this gets very awkward very quickly, and the most 76 can do is press onward, making an attempt not to think about the closeness of their quarters, or the fact that Reaper is behind him. He's not claustrophobic, but this situation puts him on edge, so he aims to get out of it as soon as possible.

Which means that as soon as he sees an empty room through the grates, he's kicking it in, dropping down heavily to the floor below. Reckless, maybe, but better than staying in a ventilation shaft with Reyes. No booby traps activate, so he calls it like he sees it.

"Clear."
