THE HOMECOMING
Beneath the Shin-ra building…
It was a cold dark night and the sharp wind whistled outside the laboratory windows. The cool sterile room decorated only in white was silent but for the low humming of a large metallic generator in the back corner. Thick grey wires protruded from it like ashen snakes, weaving their way along the floor to a large cryo-tube. It was a long cylindrical piece of metal with air locks fitted to the door, which had a clear panel that was quite transparent. There was a hissing as the door opened and in walked a tall man with fiery red hair wearing a respirator and a fine blue suit. He glanced into the tube to see the specimen contained inside, its flesh still bore the puncture wounds from the soldiers' rifles. A small hunched over scientist entered the room and the man in the suit turned to him, "I thought you said these wounds would heal within a month!"
The frail scientist adjusted his glasses and replied timidly "w…w…well commander Reno, Hojo's notes were very minimalistic on the regeneration program" He backed away as Reno faced him angrily, "are you sure this is going to work?" he boomed.
"It is, err, most likely yes." The scientist said quietly edging further away like a timid animal from the hand of man. Reno turned back to the glass and looked through the glass once more, inside the man was dressed in only a pair of purple combat trousers and had wires coming from almost every orifice. His black hair wisped around him in the liquid filling the tube. His eyes were closed and he just floated there, as he was pumped full of chemical fluids, their defiling molecules and atoms surging through his veins. Reno smiled at his reflection and turned to leave the room, "Just make sure he is ready in one week, operation insider must be executed without fail!" he barked at the scientist. The scientist just winced and scuttled over to check the cryo-tubes pressure valve as Reno left the room, his footsteps echoing up the cold metallic steps.
