Epilogue
Seated in his office, Brenner sighed deeply, lost in thought, at least until the door opened and Connie stepped in.
"Sir-"
Brenner shook his head. "Seems there has been a slight miscalculation. Eleven has become more wilful than we thought."
"Yes, I did observe that." Connie remarked. "She was not simply following instructions, she was desperately trying to save that young man."
It was then Rochelle entered and spoke up.
"Shall we take the next steps regardless, the 'Sleeper' is available if we need further action?" She asked.
Brenner shook his head however. "No, we may need him but not yet, keep him on standby. Right now, I think it would be best if we took a hands off approach and simply observed things for now…"
It was then Rochelle seemed to react. "Sir in that case we really should be looking at our other program, the extreme advanced intelligence program, the test subject for that has been neglected for too long and-"
But she was silenced by Brenner's sharp glare.
"Do not waste my time bringing up that ridiculous waste of a project. It had no future and very little payoff, keep that subject alive if you want but we're not wasting time and effort looking into someone with remarkable intelligence when our main project is far more important and profitable. Morse so once I accomplish my goal with it and show our benefactors that this project can grow to beyond their narrow views of it."
He took a deep breath, calming himself down, he needed to reorganize his thoughts, rationalize things.
Finally he looked back at Rochelle, his expression serious.
"While we are stepping back and simply observing, you will have an important role to undertake." He told her. "You know what I mean."
Rochelle nodded. "Yes sir, but...what about the denizen, it's still alive."
"We will watch it closely and deal with it if necessary. Or as punishment for her disobedience, we can let Eleven handle herself." He explained coldly. "In the meantime...we have back up plans."
With that he turned and smiled as he looked over a few notable objects, one was a collection of vials and syringes set in a case on the table. Next to the table, a moderately sized device of some kind.
"What are these?" Rochelle queried.
"This…" Brenner said. "Is a last resort, a serum created from Eleven's DNA, should the need arise to...replicate her powers. Although it is admittedly untested as of yet. The device however is far more notable, with it, we do not actually need Eleven to make contact with the other side. This will enable us to open our own gates and do our own research, no matter where we are."
He smiled, clearly pleased with this as Rochelle was taken aback by the implications of just what his words meant.
End of chapter and of story, hope you enjoyed it, read and review please.
So we leave with Brenner clearly having alternate plans just in case, but it's certain that whatever is going to happen next, the lab will not be directly involved at least. Meanwhile given what was mentioned in this chapter about another project, there is someone else currently being held in the lab...the question is, who?
