Part 8
Chen crouched down and activated his SFS, he would not risk of being seen again before reaching the final level. He was a few feet away from the stairwell, and suddenly he heard vrooming noises, he looked up and saw a three legged machine, hovering down the stairwell. Chen observed the machine's design, it seemed that every leg has a different function, one of them was a plasma caster, the plasma particles glowed green within the container, the other one is metal and thick, with a hole in the centre and is connected with a wire into the robot, it is the flame thrower, and the third one is a tong, for multipurpose usage. The SFS allowed Chen to pass the robot unnoticed and proceed.
The moment when Chen reached the fourth floor, a fierce roar echoed through the hallway and shook the walls, followed by noises that sounded like metal banging against each other. An foreign, unnatural chill ran down Chen's spine.
Soon, Chen heard noises coming from the end of the hallway, as he hid behind a file locker, he notivced that it was a man dressed in a white radiation suit, and he was talking to another person, who was wearing a metal armor, with metal, round military helmet. "Commander Jabsco, I tried my best but I simply could not replicate a fully functional domesticate device! I simply cannot!" the man dressed in white spoke nervously to the man in metal armor, then a slick, young voice answered him "what the fuck, doctor? You are an Enclave scientist right? I mean, you, DOCTOR, you were captured along with the fucking death claw , you were THE scientist whose taking care of that fucking thing right?" he then took out his knife slowly from his belt, its big and shines under the reflection of the lowly lid room. The man dressed in white began to shiver and remained silent. The man in metal armor continued "I am going to bet that the Enclave fuckers told you not to say anything when you are captured right? Ok, that's fine, tell you what, this is my friend, I call him "Occam's Razor". "then within a split second, he stabbed the scientist's hand through the table. The scientist screamed in pain as blood rushes out of his hand, " you will tell me the truth, OR I will have Mr Razor here slicing you to a gazillion pieces and feed you to your pet!" he then twisted the knife around the wound, causing the man to scream uncontrollably. As the doctor was shaking with fear and he mumbled "I …have already told you…everything" then he flinched, expecting more pain. Jabsco replied his gesture of fear with a cold, twisted grin before he forcefully plugged out his knife out of the man's hand. Jabsco then leaned back on his chair and turned his back on him, and he said to the doctor "all right then, doctor, I believe you, you may go now." The doctor froze for a second before stuttering a few words from his mouth "you mean… I …I am… free?" "yes, doctor, see ya~ we already got all the info out of you, no point keeping a prisoner here, it would just be a waste of food and living space." Jabsco replied. The doctor was confused and can't quite believe what just happened, he slowly turned around and began walking towards the exit at the end of the hallway.
"OH! Just one more thing doctor! Would you mind running? Because I have been dying…" Jabsco leaned down under the table, and picked up a missile launcher from beneath and took aim forward. "… to test this bad baby out." He finished the sentence with a small chuckle. The doctor ran as fast as he could towards the exit, tears and snort fell off his face as he ran. Then with the sound of an explosion and dense smokes which followed, the doctor was reduced to nothing but splatters of blood and guts…
