*several weeks later...*
"Angie, how were your rounds today?" Dr. Stiles asked his assistant.
"Good. Linda Reid and I had a nice chat today. She's actually been discharged already!" Angie said with a bubbly smile present on her face.
"Seriously?! This is great news!" Dr. Stiles said as a small smile crossed his.
"Dr. Stiles? Nurse Thompson?" A new voice spoke out.
"That's us" the nurse and Conor both spoke.
"I have a biological package for you" the delivery man spoke as he handed us a yellow sealed crate.
"Sign here" the man said and held out a notepad to which Angie signed immediately.
The man left right after.
"What do you think this could be...?" Angie asked Dr. Stiles.
"No idea. Let's open it up" he replied as he grabbed his knife and cut off the masking tape amd opened the box.
Inside was a sealed Petri dish with what looked like blood.
"What's this...?" Angie called out, slightly confused.
"Looks like blood. I'll have it sent to R&D for development..." Derek says.
*several hours later*
"Analysis is complete. It's blood, but tainted with some weird diseases. I'll have more testing done" the technician calls out.
"Thanks" Angie replies.
*Elsewhere...*
"Get up ladies! Move it!" I yelled as I turned the lights off and marched through the barracks.
The soldiers groaned but began to get up slowly.
"Dressed and outside in three minutes. Let's go!" I yelled back.
Three minutes later, they were all outside standing in formation.
"I have a treat for you! Over the break, I found an old army base in Japan that was to be sold. It's ours now!" I told them.
"Does this mean we have an actual base now?" A private asked.
"It looks like it" I told him.
"When do we head out?" Lieutenant Tomago asked.
"Tonight" I replied back.
"You heard the colonel. Get moving!" my friend Lieutenant Tadashi Hamada yelled to his unit.
