Providence Dark Legacy
Chapter quince: toy shop
by your-biohazardous-friend
Holiday tip-toed past Caesar's Lab like a pitiful excuse of Six. She slipped almost soundlessly to the hangar where Hispanic scientist's mobile-lab was kept. she pushed the button of the lift and disappeared in the depths of the vehicle. Just as she passed the door the lights flickered on - most likely due having movement sensors.
Woman looked at the Caesar's workshop mesmerized - grinning like a small girl with pocket money at a toy shop. The toys however were for big and intelligent children. Electromagnets, solar charged zappers, even a Providence gun - which Caesar swore to upgrade - were hanging from the hooks or lying disemboweled at the table. Computer screens were inviting curious eyes to look at their colorful charts and blue prints.
Holiday hoped that Caesar was either asleep or working right now - the latter would be even better because from sleep he could always wake up. Yet when he worked he couldn't stop till he dropped unconscious or finish the task.
The female scientist was opening the drawers enjoying every screw of what Rex called "futuristic technology". But to Holiday's surprise Caesar's lab wasn't only technology.
After several minutes of scouting she noticed that the seemingly chaotic working place was in reality very neat and arranged place. Everything had it's rightful place: The working area was all around the place. Every square inch was filled with technology or it's parts. While the living area was a segment of drawers at the left side from the door.
Apart from pillows, undergarments, socks and pajamas, to Holiday's utter surprise, she found several issues of PLAYBOY stuffed at the darkest part of the drawer. After flickering the pages she understood it weren't girls why Caesar had bought the magazines for but gadgets sections - on which - teenage back then scientist - scribbled sketches and notes.
She flipped through the stack of photos admiring Violetta Salazar's beauty (confined within lab coat and glasses) and files full of younger Rex's drawings - The pictures didn't have trees, dogs or even houses but were... blue prints. Under one of Rex's "arch-innovations" drawn with a blue crayon was written with the shaky childish handwriting "a hyper-eletkromagnet which disssasambles a tan-k from kilometer away". Holiday laughed over the picture, trying to imagine the strange bond between the siblings.
The last but not least were three carton boxes full of food - from instant soups through chips finishing on the chocolate bars. At each and every package from the boxes Caesar's wrote with black permanent marker 'corrected' expiry date - the necessary corrections in that matter were done after the faithful sub-space 'trip'. Holiday picked a chocolate bar from the box and after biting it, sat at the older Salazar's chair, spinning around merrily - squealing and chanting "that is interesting" with failed Spanish accent.
Then in the mid spin at corner of the room she noticed a plastic bottle. It was interesting since it wasn't part of neither working nor living area. It was just standing there lonely and abandoned.
She approached it and after stuffing the rest of the chocolate bar she took the object in her hands. To examine it's content against the light. It was almost full of weird yellowish liquid.
In this pod it could be everything.
"If I were you I would be careful with that" Came male voice with heavy Spanish accent. The woman almost dropped the bottle. She turned around slowly to face the owner of the lab - for her surprise the man didn't look angered leaning over the door frame.
Holiday darted a quizzical yet 'puppy-eyes' look toward Caesar.
"Rex wasn't joking when he said this place has no bathroom..." male scientist grinned gesturing with his chin over the bottle in Holiday's hands "... at least not 'official' one"
It took the woman several seconds to seize the information and another few to interpret it. But once she did the container was thrown away with disgusted shriek.
