Prologue

Doctor Halloway sat at his desk, typing furiously on his keyboard. He had to get this progress report into the boss by the end of the day or all hell would break loose for him. It had been three weeks since he and his team had started their recent project, and everything seemed to be going quite well, and he knew that his employer knew this. Nonetheless, Halloway was instructed to have a comlete weekly report ready for the boss every Friday. Apparently this project meant a lot to him.

Halloway stopped typing for a moment, and yawned widely. It was at least 1 A.M., but he knew there would be no rest for him tonight. Between this report, monitoring his peers, and monitoring the "experiment", there was no time for it. Well, maybe a little walk around the lab will do me some good, he thought as he stood up stiffly from his desk. As he looked around the large, dimly lit space of the lab, he felt a sense of desolatiopn creep upon him. The room was spacy, true, but it still seemed to suffocate Halloway. The gray metal walls, the buzzing of the dim flourescent lights, and the glare of the monitoring screens just seemed to wrack his nerves. He sighed and began to walk back to his desk, but not before stopping in front of the large, cylindrical, glass tube that contained what he and his team had been working many months on trying to achieve. Yes, it had only been three weeks since they had just began the serious work, but the planning for the lab, the containment unit, and the experiment itself had taken almost a year to accomplish.

He stood in front of the liquid filled tank for many minutes, staring at the small, helpless embryo floating in it. It looked like such an insignificant thing, but he knew that it was anything but. It's creation had been a miracle, or lack thereof, and the fact that it was still alive was almost unbelievable. Halloway smiled slightly. If this creature survived, if it could become a stable, healthy, living being, there was almost nothing it wouldn't be able to do. And this is exactly how Halloway's employer had wanted it.

He sighed and turned away from the tank, going back to his desk, and the unfinished report. Only a few more words to go.

...I can assure your Mr. Giovanni, this child will be everything we have promised, and more...

Well, I hoped you enjoyed this little prologue. I can assure you that chapter one will be longer...er...I hope. So, until then, stay true dear readers! whatever that means...
