Prologue
"We're not sure how it will turn out." The tall blonde lady stared at the small clear vile that was being injected into the tank, meanwhile she bit the inside of her cheek in apprehension.
The other dark-haired man didn't pay her any heed. "It will be fine…"
"But the test results showed the subject was deficient in cellular activity and reproduction-"
"So? It's still alive, isn't it?" The man sounded irritated as he slowly pushed in, and then withdrew the vile. The 'subject' currently looked like a large-ball, about three meters in height, and filled with a watery substance that held the slightest green tinge. When the needle pierced the ball, it move inward a bit, showing the strong yet flexible properties of it.
The blonde sighed and watched, her soft brown eyes drifting over the lab equipment. All this work for a failed experiment. A useless being.
But many 'failures' had proved to be slightly useful to Umbrella…
"Are you taking it?" The brunette asked her as he placed the spent vial down before turning to her. She looked at him with a slightly amused look.
"Me?"
"Yes, you. If it really does survive, they don't want it here, or there."
"I know…" The woman shook her head as she turned away, walking to the double glass doors that lead to the room. The entire room was encased in glass, with only one entrance. She left it quickly, washing her hands at a sink, quietly enjoying the chemical-like smells and disinfectant in the air.
"Well, are you?" The man was persistent, following her to wash his hands at the sink as well.
"George wants to…."
"And you?"
"It doesn't matter." She didn't want to take it home… but they had to. Take it somewhere isolated, raise it in a semi-home environment… until the day came for it to possibly be useful.
If it lived that long.
"You should." He shrugged before turning his back to her to head off somewhere, probably to his office, thought the blonde.
"I should….?" She sighed, shaking her head again out of habit and got ready to go home as well. She didn't care about it in the first place… so why did it matter? Just keep the thing until the day it dies, if it even survived the early growth stage.
Either way, I'm getting paid, so what should it matter?
