Log 6 Encounter
(Meanwhile…)
What is this place?
It's so dark… and… quiet. It's nothing like the world I dreamed of.
I remembered water, I slept in it. But when I woke up, I was in a different place.
There were so many stars, and places to be. And, there was a voice as well; a voice that is just like mines.
…
…
No, that didn't happen. It was just a dream after all.

Thankfully, the specimen remained safe inside her containment unit while Lola along with her crew is trying their best to override the laboratory's security protocol. They were successful at freeing us… however the data that was stored inside the laboratory computer was made almost inaccessible due to terabytes of unknown data being jammed into the computer.
No one had ever recalled tinkering with the computer ever since this morning except for me; what I've only did was to insert a CD into the main CPU so that the data can be stored within the laboratory network. But then again, the CD only packed up to about a few megabytes of data…
I took the liberty of taking out the CD and have it examined with my personal laptop, only to find it corrupted. While the technicians are working their best to get rid of the unwanted data inside the database, the data itself kept repairing itself after the technicians began deleting them one by one.
Meanwhile, the engineers managed to get the blast doors to reopen, revealing specimen CV-01's containment unit behind the bullet-proof glass. Finally, we won't be relying on surveillance systems to check whether she is safe or not.
Hours have passed, and the computer has yet to be fixed. Since there was basically nothing that we can do, Lola and I decided to leave the laboratory and come back here as soon as repairs are finished.
About how the CD was corrupted, I had no idea; it couldn't be possible for an ultrasonic wave to damage a CD now, can it? Even so, I couldn't help but to put the CD back to its rightful place.

Huh?
Why is everything so warm?
It feels so… comfortable. *machine working*
When I opened my eyes, everything is still dark; no one was here, not even the person I first met. While I was able to jump down from this strange platform, the door clicked open and opened itself after my feet reached the ground. I wasn't too sure why the door opened itself, but I guess it was trying to tell me to leave.

Night shifts, one of my least favourite times of my jobs. Not only you'll be working for the entire night, you'll be working by yourself as well. There are rarer times where two workers are stationed to work night shifts, but it never happened to me.
While I was busy figuring out the data that Professor Patrick sent to me, I did hear some faint sounds coming from the laboratory. When I mustered my thoughts together, I realized that nobody, including me should be in the laboratory this night, so I decided to grab a flashlight and investigate.
The laboratory was just a few steps away fortunately, but the security at this time disallows anybody to enter it. As expected, the keypad was on a time-lock to prevent anybody from entering the laboratory after 10 O' clock.
After I ran out of ideas, the keypad suddenly flashed green, approving my entry before I even placed my hand on it.
Curiosity hit me first after the gates opened. Who could have bypassed the time-lock and opened the security gates without our key codes?
