Hamsterviel sat behind his desk going over his designs for different experiments. A door in the room hissed open and in came Kyle. "What? How did you get in here?"

Kyle stopped. "I dunno. I just walked out of my room past five or seven automated turret machines and walked into you room."

Hamsterviel's eyes squinted. "I must have forgotten to remove you genetic code from the sensor's genetic database." He looked down at his desk and made a few key strokes and looked back up at Kyle. "It will not happen again." He paused for a moment. "Do you finally believe that you are not human? That you are Project Alpha?"

"I believe…" Kyle walked closer to Hamsterviel's desk and paused and cocked his head. "I believe you looked a bit bigger. Yur just a dinky rodent."

Hamsterviel slammed his tiny fist on the desk. "My size only contributes to my superiority."

"Whatever." Kyle sat down cross legged in front of the desk. "What else was in the tranquilizer?"

Hamsterviel smiled. "You are sure it was the tranquilizer?"

"There's only one wound on me made from a needle and I doubt you had put anything in my stomach while I was out cold. I would have had a stomach ache. And if you had put in another needle into the same wound it would have been a lot more sore than it is now. So I think there were traces of sumthin in the tranquilizer."

Hamsterviel spun around in his chair and a large screen came down from the ceiling in front of the both of them. a small DNA models spun around on the screen showing every part of it. "You are right. There was a trace fluid in the dart. The fluid was designed to be a preparation for you body to undergo drastic genetic changes." He turned around and the screen flew back up into the ceiling. "I can guess that you are experiencing head aches."

Kyle took his sunglasses off exposing a pair of Bright yellow eyes. "Among other things. My eyes are yellow. It normally happens when I get an adrenalin rush when I'm playing paintball or something active. Except when the adrenaline goes away so does the yellow tint in my eyes."

Hamsterviel slowly tapped a few keys. "You are changing into Project Alpha whether you like it or not. The only thing I can leave you with to relive you is that you will not remember anything. The DNA prepping agent doubles as a mind wiper. without your memories I doubt you will be able to resist your instinctive behavior." he mashed his finger on one final button and a turret honed in on Kyle's position. "Now if you don't mind… Project Alpha… you better be heading back to your cage. And don't think you can slip past those turrets again. I have removed you genetic code from the authorization data base."

Kyle got up and walked towards the door and stopped just as it hissed open and turned around facing Hamsterviel. "One thing about Fulfords… You go down to Massachusetts where we're from there's a big fat folder on us in the police station in Westford."

Hamsterviel leaned back in his chair. "Then I shall expect great performance from you."

Kyle put his sunglasses back on and walked out the door.

Shauni sat in front of the door scratching it trying to get out. The door suddenly opened revealing a floating turret which immediately honed in on her. She scurried away and hid under one of the fold out cots. Kyle slowly walked into the room and the door shut behind him. Shauni ran out from under the cot and hugged both of Kyle's legs.

Kyle picked Shauni up and sat down on the cot. Shauni rested her head on his shoulders. "What's wrong?"

Kyle picked Shauni off of him and put her down next to him. "Nothing."

Shauni reached up for his sunglasses but Kyle moved away. Shauni grabbed the glasses and slowly removed them from Kyle's face. He slowly opened his eyes and looked at her. "Yur not afraid?"

Shauni shook her head. "I know you're a nice person. You won't hurt me."

Kyle took his camouflaged long sleeve sheet off, laid down on the cot on his side. Shauni crawled under the shirt, rested her back against his stomach and pulled his arm over her. "You're letting me touch you, you know?" He didn't say anything.

Kyle rubbed his forehead with his free hand trying to get rid of a head ache. "How do ya know I might not wake up a different person?"

Shauni hugged his arm. "You won't."
