"Error! Error! Error!" Lights were flashing crazily. Red, blue, red, blue, over and over. His experiment had been a failure. Ripper had been a failure. It was hard to see, but the kangaroo had been mutated. But his body was apparently burnt, and was emitting smoke.
Neo ran down to his creation and carried him to the bag. He put him on top of the bag and ran the other direction. With spare parts in the room, he began to quickly build a small life support system. Luckily it wasn't too hard to make. He used some of Nitrus's healing potions in a tank and one of Nefarious Tropy's time magnets that he made in 7th grade (don't tell ). He didn't want to stump Ripper's learning, so the time magnet will stop him from physically and mentally aging. It took a few hours to complete, and the evolvo-ray stopped making noise.
He placed it in a shelf engraved in the wall and hooked it up to the power. He then placed Ripper Roo inside of the machine. The machine checked in with Ripper's heart beat. The line was flat. There was no heart beat. Ripper was dead. Note the word was. Slowly, the heartbeat went up slightly. It was barely noticeable. Ripper was okay. It might take a little while for him to completely heal, but with time, he'll be fine.
Neo got back to work on the evolve-ray. It had to be less strong. It shouldn't practically kill his creations.
As he was taking notes, he noticed something scurry across his floor. But when he looked up, the thing was gone. He decided to ignore it. Then it came back again. He only saw a brown blur. He decided to make a trap. Well, not really a trap. He didn't want to catch the animal, just find out where it was going. Maybe find another test subject. A success.
He spilled some washable paint in a circle and dropped a piece of bread in the center. He hoped the creature, whatever it was, would attempt to get the piece of bread and step in the paint. Then it would leave a track for Neo to follow. Depending on how far the thing would go.
