"Upon entering an underground temple, the two survivors meet the project Director who explains that every year worldwide rituals commence to appease malevolent beings identified only as "Ancient Ones" living beneath the Facility, they are kept in perpetual slumber through an annual pars pro totosacrifice of five young people embodying certain archetypes: the Whore (Jules), the Athlete (Curt), the Scholar (Holden), the Fool (Marty), and the Virgin (Dana). The order in which intended victims perish is flexible, as long as the Whore is first and the Virgin is last (or optionally survives, so long as the others die). The Director urges Dana to shoot Marty, completing the ritual, but they are interrupted by a werewolf which Marty fends off after it attacked Dana. Patience Buckner arrives, killing the Director, and Marty pushes them into a chasm.
Dana and Marty accept that it might be better for another species to take humanity's place if this is the price of its continued existence. They share a final jointas an Ancient One finally stirs, destroying the Facility."
