Author's Notes: This is my first story; I've been very excited about it since I got the idea. Oh, and If anything sounds familiar to something in particular, it probably is. Also, this doesn't have the Sonic gang in it yet, not until the Sequel to this story will they be in it.
"Gentlemen, I welcome you here today in a groundbreaking project that will put our names in history as the pioneer's of the future!" Announced a commanding brown hedgehog.
The group that surrounded him was mostly thin, white lab coat scientist's carrying the emblem of G.U.N on their shoulder. The exits around them were surrounded by guards, armed to the teeth, ready for quick initiative orders.
The lead hedgehog, stood a sturdy 6 feet tall, had a thin waistline, while his hazel eyes stared deeply into the people around him. "Allow me to introduce myself," He spoke with confidence. "I am Maxis Ludvig, and welcome to Group 935, our initiative?" Maxis paused.
The crowd of scientist's and guards seemed unworriedly of what matters they were getting entwined with, even as Maxis spoke of the "tests" they will conduct. They shifted as a few coughs were heard from the crowd, causing Maxis to sigh a little before he spoke.
"May I introduce to you, Project 115, the MDT Teleporter!" as two mobian assistants, revealed a rather large looking cylinder with wires and prods, electricity coursing through them, proved a fearsome sight. The red glow that illuminated from the machine, both scared and awed the scientist's.
Jun, a mobian dog and assistant director to the project, carefully slipped Maxis another clipboard. As Maxis scanned the information before him, he raised his hand and ordered "All new personal to this facility must be acquainted with they're surroundings, or will be removed from this project." He looked up from the clipboard. "Edward will be your instructor, he is in test lab #16" He pointed to the small hallway in the far right, where hung a sign saying "Test Labs". "Towards the grey assembly doors, past down the halls is the labs." Directed Maxis. "Just follow the numbers until you reach number six-teen."
As all the scientist's cleared out of the briefing room, Maxis and Jun made way to his office. The cold concrete made little noise as they walked through the facility, door through door, until they made it to the Mainframe section. Across the right side of where the teleporter pod in the center, sat Doctor Maxis's office building. Maxis and Jun walked up the flight of stairs, as Maxis rummaged through his pockets, grabbed his keys, and proceeded to sit down at his Maplewood desk, signing for Jun to close the steel frame door behind him.
As he sorted some clearance files documented by G.U.N command, he asked Jun, "What do you think of these clearances? We have authority to use the supplement of bodies stored." He stated.
Jun stood up abruptly, his expression looked horrid. "Bodies? What in god's name do we need bodies, for?" He questioned.
"Look at this." As Maxis handed the rough sketch of the MDT to Jun. "It's too dangerous for use on living subjects, so G.U.N has authorized our use of deceased corpses for these tests." Maxis explained.
"Humans, Mobians." mumbled Jun. "What next for these tests do we need?" questioned Jun. Maxis simply unfolded a scrap of paper, scribbled upon said "115" and showed it to Jun.
"Unpetinium? But, that's hardly an available resource, considering its limited knowledge and study." Jun stated. "And why do we need it?"
Maxis relocated his documents into a locked file cabinet, closed it shut, and walked up to Jun, hardly concerning the space between him and Jun's face. "Because, it's the perfect conduit, and G.U.N will provide all the Unpetinium that is necessary." He said. "They highly doubt any problems will occur, besides, we've been waiting for this for a long time, the funding and assistance were needed to really get this moving."
"I wasn't here as long as you, I know how you are attached to this, but you must be able to conclude how absurd it is to use corpse's for these test's, it's desecrating and dishonerable!" Jun complained to Maxis.
"115 will be the basis of all tests conducted here at this facility." He stated this with a passion, seemingly ignoring Jun's concerns. "I will personally see this all goes excellent, exemplary even!" His gaze turned to his office window. "A lot rides here, it all begins here." As Jun looked uneasy with the information he'd been given.
"You seem so obsessed with this, Maxis." Jun concerned. But, Maxis angrily replied.
"This all falls on me, Jun! A lot can go wrong, and I'm not about to fuck it up, or worse." He finished. "I do not need you to consult with me about how I'm running this project to my fitting, our how attached I make myself to it, do you understand?" He asked Jun. "Do I make myself clear?"
"I only hope we can avoid unnecessary conflicts here Doctor."Jun said quietly.
Ludvig Maxis walked over to his microphone, and with the flick of a switch, turned it on. Cracks of static creeped out of the speakers around the facility. "We can only hope for the best, Jun." said Maxis before he began his announcement.
"It is my upmost pleasure that you all could be a part of this mind rattling advancement in civilization." As he continued, "I hope you've had enough time to get familiar with the facility, but I remind you, tomorrow we will begin tests for the MDT, but before such, safety procedures that Doctor Edward will consult with all staff is necessary." Maxis knew it was time to finish his assessment for the day.
"I am Doctor Maxis, and welcome to Geisteskranken."
