No Hope Hospital

Seeing as they're in the control room, Cal will attempt to find the button that calls the elevator.

Jacques has already called the elevator. The button that calls the elevator might be that big, red, unmarked button wired into the center of the control panel!

"How much of this was real? Who are you? And how are you involved?" Bellan has a great many questions for someone who actually seems to have answers.

"I'm the leader of Patronus, a cloistered, private organization currently devoted to liberating any group being exploited against their will."

"Everything you witnessed was real, up until a few minutes ago. At that point, it all just became an illusion. It is quite difficult to explain, really."

"We are here because I was here conducting business when everything went down the tubes. We wouldn't have gotten wind of it otherwise, which is a matter which is deeply troubling to me."

Lawerence responds in a blunt manner, evidently quite open to questioning.

Tom

'Magtok' glares at the shade, as if to say 'It's always the hard way with you things, isn't it?'. There's no time to actually say such a thing though, and he'll need every ounce of breath he can squeeze out of his lung for this long dash to the exit. It's a good thing he's used to running and screaming in terror, otherwise he might not have the stamina to handle this sort of mad sprint for survival.

As Tom sprints down the hall, the chamber dissolves into nothingness behind him.

Percilia trips and falls to the ground about 3/4 of the way to the exit.

Crunch!

She appears to have landed wrong and busted her knee. It is evident that Percilia will not be able to escape without Tom's assistance, but if Tom provides her with aid, he himself might not be able to abscond.
