Chapter 5
Lieutenant Amber looked up from the console in front of him as the door opened. Moss entered followed by their visitors. Scarlet could not help but notice the concerned look on Amber's face
"Is there a problem Lieutenant?" Scarlet asked as the uneasy feeling he had experienced earlier retuned with a vengeance.
"We think we may have found the cause of the security breach" Amber said "But I would like your opinion Captain?" he stepped aside so that Scarlet could get closer to the console to examine the video footage for himself
"What have you found?" he asked looking down at the screen. The image showed an empty lab – well empty of people anyway. There was a bench that was set up with computers and other equipment which Scarlet did not recognise. This was located in the middle of the room. He could also make out what looked like a water tank, which was half the height of the room, over to the left hand side of the screen. Something then caught Scarlet's eye, but before his brain had chance to register what he had seen...it was gone.
"Can you play that again? He asked. Another guard who was sat at the console hit a button and the footage rewound. "There!" Scarlet said urgency in his tone.
"What is it Paul?" Blue enquired, stepping behind Scarlet to look over his shoulder.
"Keep your eye on the left hand side of the image" he told his friend. The footage played again, both men watching the left side of the screen. "Hold it there!" he snapped. "Did you see that Adam?" Scarlet asked over his shoulder at Blue
"Was that what I think it is?" Blue responded, his mind struggling to comprehend what he had just seen.
"Yes Adam, I believe it was" turning back to Lieutenant Amber, Scarlet demanded "We need to check out that lab, right now!"
