There's no time to hesitate, you can either bail now, or end up right back where you started, trapped by tendrils. The instant that there's enough room, you charge through the door, recklessly storming into the outer corridor. You pursuers follow, but even as they slither through the opening, the door begins to close once more, surely due to a malfunction. With a heavy clang, it seals, severing the few green creepers that had made it through.
The alien appendages slither uselessly on the floor, like eyeless worms attempting to feel their way to freedom. The sickening sight sends a shiver down your spine. At least you're free, even if you did give birth to something vile, though there's no way to know that for certain.
After taking a few moments to catch your breath, you dare another glance at the severed vines, they don't seem to be dying. Perhaps investigating closer might reveal something important about the new lifeforms. Then again, those things did just get through having their way with you, it might be best just to walk away from the whole mess, and hopefully find something to cover your bare, slime-coated body. Carefully, you weigh the options.
