Chapter 6- The Facility:
Third Person:
Dr. Kayla Irving stood up straighter as she walked through the dimly lit halls of the Facility. On both sides of here were containment center after containment center since they were in the walls- only seen through the glass- though the sides weren't glass so the creatures didn't see each other.
One creature's head was like a giant skull and it was covered with thick black fur as it ran through its cage. One looked almost human except for the large stitches that covered her face and closed her eyes and lips. One was a small child that was humanoid but had dark brown fur and dog ears with a dog tail. One of the creatures looked like a giant slug. One looked almost like a mermaid inside its water-filled container, but as Dr. Irving passed it, it bared large pointed teeth.
Creature after creature- monster after monster- Dr. Irving barely glanced at them. They were just monsters and no way sentient. So why should she care about them? It was just research..
Each of the creatures brought something entirely new to the table. Some were able to breath under water and above. Some could seemingly control shadows. One used hormones in the air to make everything fall in love with it the second that they caught wift of it. Each one, despite the differences, were a danger to society.
Therefore they were heroes- at least, that was how they looked at it. Not a single creature was sentient so they couldn't exactly talk to it, so they would just lock them up so the creatures wouldn't hurt society. They weren't the bad guys even if they electrocuted the monsters, put them in torture chambers, whipped them, vivisected them, and did many other unimaginable things to them.
There were very few things that happened in that Facility that they didn't agree with- though those things only happened when they hired the wrong people. One of them killed a monster. One raped that red cat-humanoid monster- despite the creature being seemingly only a teenager. One let a monster loose. So each of the guards, scientists, or facility that did those things were suspended or fired.
Dr. Irving shook her head as she entered the conference room. She saw someone there- her contact- waiting at the table with the other higher ups of the Facility.
"Ah, pleasure to meet you," Dr. Irving greeted, "You must be Ringleader."
The woman had pitch black hair, and was dressed in a blood red tail coat with a black bow tie and simple black mask, with matching knee high boots.
"Yes, I am. And you must be Dr. Irving, the mastermind behind all of this."
The doctor nodded as she flipped through her clipboard.
"You're an alien, I see. From the skrull race."
Ringleader nodded.
"Yes, and I know other ways to keep these beasts in their places," she said with a smirk.
Dr. Irving looked up at this, suddenly, a bit more interested.
"How so?"
Ringleader let out a menacing laugh.
"Isolation. A room with complete sense deprivation. There would be no hearing, no seeing, no smelling, no feeling. And when they come out, it will burn them. When they step out of place like that dog creature over there, just put them in for a couple hours or days. They will never step out of line again. The one weapon they can use against you at the moment is their own willpower. Using the sense deprivation chamber, they won't have any left, leaving them completely vulnerable."
The doctor nodded, taking all of this new information in and adding it to her clipboard.
"So," the Ringleader continued, stretching her hand across the table for Irving to shake, "Do we have a deal?"
