So our subject moves north. Is this really a surprise? I don't think so. I believe this is merely a natural physical reaction to Earth's magnetic field. In a dark, narrow passage, the subject goes with instinct, and that instinct may be affected by the magnetic pull to the north.
There are now two questions to consider. Do Zombies also have similar instincts, deep sensations that might be in tune with the magnetic field? If so, it's a good chance our Zombies are also headed north.
The second question involves the degree with which our test subject trusts the fairness of this test. Does he believe we would give him a fair chance to escape or have we stacked the deck against him? If he believes we don't have his best interests in mind, heading north might not be the wisest choice. I mean seriously, if we knew his instinct was to head north and we kind of hoped he'd meet up with a Zombie, where we would put one? I'd say the northern intake duct would be a good choice.
With all of this in mind, our fearless test subject hears a clanking noise in the direction he's crawling. It could just be a loose wall grate and a path to freedom, or it could be the thunking of a Zombie elbow against the metal duct work.
