Chapter 6

In security main control, Kennedy was kicking back. Being head of security had its advantages such as good pay and no one watching what you are doing. Of course, with manual security such as guards roaming the halls, there was almost no reason to watch the cameras at all. Most of the personnel in the control were busy doing other things. Five were playing black jack, one was drinking coffee next to the break table, one was leaning in the corner reading a dirty magazine, and the rest were gathered around a monitor converted into a TV. by a techi watching the ball game.

Suddenly, one person said, "Lieutenant you'd better come take a look at this." Kennedy looked, the warning coming from one of the few who actually paid attention to the monitors. Kennedy walked up and said, "You take your job way to seriously, why aren't you watching the ball game with the others?" He point to the screen and said, "This is why!" Kennedy looked at the screen and went very pale. It was those two weirdos who he gave his key card to and the prisoners. They were on the laboratory level heading for the main area. "Orders, sir?" the grunt said. Kennedy picked up the phone, it's quite obvious that Dr. Bailey needed to know about this. He pressed the button to connect the line and thought hope he doesn't kill me.

Meanwhile, in his private apartment on the base, Dr. Bailey was taking a long deserved break. He was sitting in an overstuffed chair reading one of his favorite books, Dante's Inferno. Suddenly, the phone began ringing. Bailey thought, damm it this had better be important. He picked up the phone and yelled, "What!" Then listened and said calmly "No don't activate the alarm, if they hear it they may try to put up a fight. Have two security teams block off the only exits to main area. I'll go in and handle them personally." He hung up the phone, put the book on the table, and picked up a pair of ultra balls resting on a small pillow. As he walked out the room he thought to himself, been a while since I've had a good battle. This might just be interesting.

Back on the lab level, the gang had entered the main lab hallway. The whole hall looked like something out of Resident Evil. The floor, wall, and ceiling was done in dark red tile, and light came from fluorescent lights where the walls met the ceiling. The hall was also lined with potted plants. Morris said, "For a bunch of psychos they certainly know how to make a nice work environment." Max said, "so where is the lab?" Morris replied, "just down the hall, but first Glitch can you find a way to slow down anyone who might be following us?" Glitches eyes lit up and suddenly the door they came through locked and a huge metal gate closed in front of it. Brock said, "Where did that come from?" Glitch replied, "when I was in their system last I managed to upload several security protocols. I just activated the one for severe biohazard leak. Those blast doors can take a C4 charge and not open. Plus there's only two ways in to this area and I've just blocked them both. Besides I scrambled the security codes so they won't be getting in anytime soon." James said, "Good thing, judging by all the guns those guys were carrying, if they get to us we'll be wearing a new lead suit."

Ash said, "I think I found the lab." Everyone sweat-dropped. He was standing in front of a big door that said LAB on it. Inside there were enough computers to give a hacker a heart attack. There were tables full of medical equipment, a couple of binders full of calculations and formulas, and what looked like impressions into one of the walls which no one could seem to explain. Ash said, "I thought she was going to be here." Jesse said, "look at this these morons left their computers here with no password protection." Morris shoved her aside saying, "Don't touch, you might delete something important." James said, "Knowing her she probably will." Mewoth nodded in agreement. Jesse punched both and said, Who are you guys calling clumsy?" Morris said, "Shut up I'm trying to work here. Hello--what's this?" He opened the file he was working on and turned pale, "Ah, guys you might want to look at this." Ash questioned, "What is it?" "See for yourself" Morris said. The file read Project Disposable Hybrid Soldier: Status Report: It has been two years since the project first began under my direction. We've run into many difficulties along the way. It was decided that instead of a few super powerful soldiers we should create more low powered versions. There are two reasons for this: 1. In our first trials we found that if we created a soldier of super power it led to immediate shut down of vital organs thus destroying the unit. 2. It was economically more prudent to build many of lower power than to continue to try to perfect a unit of immense power. The research along this new line has been more successful than I could have ever dreamed. I tested a minor dose on myself with great success. Not only can I now see in the dark and my strength has increased by approximately 15%, but as a bonus this seems to have eliminated my addiction to alcohol. My project is to engineer a off shoot drug taking full advantage of this side effect for a legitimate business project to start immediately. Now I shall breakdown the transformation process: 1. Subject is first subdued and tranquilized. 2. Subject is injected with the DNA of the desired Pokemon and given an activation drug. See memo
#305 for further details. 3. Subject is to be kept in suspended animation for 24 hours after transformation. If vitals remain
normal, subject will be injected with memory deletion drug L44 and fitted with mind control
collar. 4. In the event of failure in the collar or injection an antidote to the process is to be given. The
former subject is to be placed in isolation. Failed subject have immense memory lose so
this can be achieved in areas of population with safety to the project assured.

In conclusion, the project has been a complete success. I've already tested the final phase on a subject acquired by private Peter Thompson and it is my expert opinion we should start full scale projection immediately.
Dr. Justin Bailey, Burning Sands Bio-organic Weapons Lab

Ash said, "I think I'm going to be sick." James said, "How the hell do you do something like that?" Mewoth leaned against something and suddenly there was a beep and a capsule rose from the floor perfectly fitting the mysterious indentation in the wall. Jesse said, "Mewoth what did you just do?" Mewoth replied, "I just leaned against this (looking to see what he leaned against) ah, key card like panel." The capsule in the wall was completely covered with frost and right next to the capsule a tile in the wall slide up revealing a monitor and keyboard. James said, "What the hell is that thing?" Morris walked over to the capsule and wiped off some of the frost saying, "Ah, guys I hope you have strong stomach, because I think I just found May."

Meanwhile, out side the entrance to the main lab area Dr. Bailey was looking over his grunts who were trying to open the main door. "What's taking so long?" One grunt said, "They've activated the containment code somehow, the blast doors are sealed. Somehow they've scrambled the code, it could take be hours to find the right sequences." Bailey said, "What about the manual override?" pointing to a glass box on the wall that contained what looked like a valve wheel. One grunt said, "Are you kidding? It will take up nearly an hour to crank that door open." Bailey took out his CZ-75 and shot the grunt in the head. "If you don't want to end up like him, start turning that wheel and open the damm door."
