Jon looks around cautiously, and the more he looks, the colder the air seems to feel. At first, he only sees the bullet holes and scorch marks, suggesting that it was a firefight between opposing armed forces. When he sees the claw marks, however, that idea becomes less believable...this seems more like a bio lab suffered a containment breach, and security was shooting at whatever broke out. The apparent lack of corpses, blood, or any sort of biomatter aside from his own body, puts an additional batch of questions in his mind. (What were they fighting? How could the struggle have ended without a single bloodstain? Is...is their enemy...still in here?)
A hellish chill plagues Jon's spine on that last thought; he doesn't want to even see what security was firing on, much less have to fight it...even so, he needs to arm himself. He's not really sure why, but this scenario is just too strange...if he didn't know better, he'd think it was all set up beforehand. If there's one stroke of good luck he has right now, it's that his eyes are well-adjusted to the dim lighting, courtesy of the cryo bay. (Stay frosty, Jon...whether you find a weapon or not, its efficiency is dependent on your focus.) Thankfully, he can see the floor very well, so a weapon is unlikely to escape his search...he only hopes it has some range, as a knife alone may not be enough for the creature that clawed these walls...
