ZB notes a fire escape in the form of a rope ladder in a box under one of the desks as she inspects the room.
Dr. Hernandez responds to her question by saying: "Hmmm, I don't know. Nutty, blood-thirsty mutants maybe?"
As if to emphasize the point, "Jones" slames himself into the door again. The glass bulges inward visibly, it's shatterproof coating the only thing keeping it from giving way all together.

Z.B. jumps at the second crash, though not as severely, and this time starts moving quickly.
"Edwards," she barks. As both brothers look at her, she adds, "the orange one. Get me that ladder!" She points to the rope ladder under the desk as she quickly inspects the view out the windows, trying to pick the safest one to exit by. "Doug, brace that door! Another desk, or a filing cabinet, and quickly!"
Z.B. throws open one of the windows, giving it a good shove when it tries to stick halfway. "Dr. Hernandez," she says in a more deferential tone, though no less urgent, "we may need to evacuate permanently. Gather everything you can't do without; we'll have to leave the rest. Everybody else, to the window!"

Duane rushes to obey ZB while Doug smirked. After all, in the legendary ZB's eyes he was Doug, and Duane was Orange Hair.
Dr. Hernandez removes a couple data crystals from his computer and drops the clear, green spheres into his pocket. Then he puts a few of Dr. Gardener's things in his briefcase explaining, "The rest are reproductions anyway".
Dr. Han's grad students set up the ladder quickly and efficiently while everyone else waits nervously. Dr. Bandeau begins hyperventilating but everyone else remains amazingly calm.
The evacuation goes smoothly until the ladder is set up, and the glass in the door gives way allowing a bloodied and crazed-looking Jones into the room.

Z.B. finishes giving instructions on evacuation order (a fast intern first, to help Dr. Han and co. down, etc.) just as the door gives way. Somebody screamed...it might have been herself, she couldn't be sure. Trying to force herself to breathe evenly, Z.B. shoves a wheeled desk at the crazed man, trying to slow him down and buy the others enough time to get down the ladder. She glances about frantically for more things to shove or to throw.
