Olivia's P.O.V

I was in awe at the massive building in front of me. This tower was just the office section of the massive Neo-Genetics complex. Spanning just under 15,000 acres the compound was a technological marvel. There were coffee shops, a four star hotel for visitors and a genetics lab for testing vaccines and DNA. All of which flowed into the most advanced hospital in the world. Located 50 miles south of Anvil town, the compound was somewhat isolated within the massive forest that made up much of southern Unova. The trip by car took over 3 hours, thanks to the rough forest road after you got off the interstate. However the best way to get here was a number of bullet trains that ran all over Unova to here. I rode the train from my house in Anvil Town and it had only been a 20 minute commute.

I was interviewing for a new position, they had called me out of the blue with very little details but I didn't want to turn down a job at such a prodigious location. I had finished college at Nacrene university only 2 years ago and I was ready to get out there in the world. I took a deep breath and walked into the lobby. The receptionist gave me a smile and motioned me towards a conference room. I sat down and waited for about five minutes before the interviewer arrived.

She was just a hare shorter than me, and I was only 5 foot 1 inch. Her black hair was smoothed back with a bun tying it in place. She had a red woman's power suit and had on black heels. She looked like a textbook example of a business woman.

"Bonjur, thank you for coming today, I'm Veronica Lemat" she greeted in a slightly hidden Kalsoian accent.

I shook her hand as she came around the table to greet me, we then sat down and began the interview.

"So you finished your PHD ahead of schedule?" she inquired.

"Yes, i was going to stop there but my teacher pushed me to get a masters in biochemistry," I responded.

"Really? You got your master's degree in just under a year" she asked, sounding somewhat skeptical.

"Lenora streamlined the process for me, she was a great mentor" I explained.

"Ah, very few students have piqued her interest but i've heard she has a great eye for potential" she admitted as she put down her tablet.

I was taken aback by her sudden dismissal of my files and her sanding up as if the meeting was over. Before I could respond however she smiled and said "you're hired"

I was at a loss for words, I had planned for this to take weeks with multiple interviews and competition from other applicants. After struggling to find my voice I finally asked the obvious question. "That's it, the interview is over?'

"You were the only person we contacted, no one else had the credentials we need, see we're working on fossil restoration and need help with translations in tandem with that," she explained.

That made sense, my degrees lined up perfectly with the task at hand, I almost felt honored, but something in the back of my mind told me that this was very convenient that they knew about my degrees and had tasks perfectly suited to them. I shook these thoughts from my head as she showed me a contract, it had benefits and pay on par with executive positions and only locked me into it for a year. This was perfect, I read the fine print over twice and then signed, i told her i would start on the coming monday giving me the weekend to prepare. I dismissed the odd feeling in my stomach as nerves and headed for the bullet train.

3rd person POV

Veronica Lemat was finishing her paperwork for the day when her phone rang. She picked it up only to be met with a shrewd voice requesting her presence at the boss's office.

She sighed and headed to the elevator, with a few presses of buttons she was on her way to the top floor. The top floor of the tower was a single hallway leading to a reception room, that lead to Mr. Rapt's office.

Edward Rapt was one of the richest people in the world, Neo-Genetics was only one of the many companies that he owned. Due to the sheer size of his conglomerate he was always traveling, which meant he had to put people in charge of his companies in his absence. Veronica was one of these vice-presidents. Mr. Rapt was the CEO of every company he owned, but the Vice Presidents were in charge of the companies that needed constant leadership.

She entered the massive penthouse office only to see two people waiting for her at the conference table. Cyrus sat to the right of the table. The chair at the head of the table was mysteriously empty. Another man was across from him on the left side. He was short, his body beefy and he had a slight hunch. He was wearing a lab coat and black pants. He had rubber chemical gloves on and rubber boots to match. His grey hair was barely covering his head and his red lensed glasses were not helping him look normal.

"Sit down Veronica, Mr Rapt will be joining us soon" Charon said as he motioned her to sit down.

"I thought he was still at the excavation site in Sinnoh" Veronica questioned as she sat down.

Before she could ask anything else the chair at the head of the table made a humming sound. A hidden projector in the chair activated, a hologram of Mr. Rapt appeared in the chair. He didn't look happy.

"I'm very busy here so let's keep this meeting brief" he said.

"You're employees have been behind schedule, you need to make them pickup the pace" Cyrus scolded

"Really Cyrus, I've been monitoring the situation and my employees have done everything they have been tasked with, Charon, who I'd like to remind you is your scientist had been behind" Mr. Rapt interjected.

"You have no place to say that, Giovanni put me in charge of this operation" Cyrus said proudly.

"He put you in charge of the attacks and the artifacts, you forget that I answer directly to Giovanni on a daily basis, I could call him right now in fact" Rapt reminded him.

Cyrus was quiet after that statement, it was clear he had just lost all power in this argument.

"The interview went perfectly, she will start on Monday" I reported.

A rare smile crossed Rapt's face, he nodded and said "see Cyrus, simple results, I'll send the files for her to translate, she's going to be perfect"

Cyrus stood up and turned to leave, he stopped at the door and said "Charon, I've got a meeting with my financial backers in Castelia city, I expect the device to be done when I get back," he explained before walking out the door.

Things were on schedule….
