This is the audio recording of Dr. Kim Young, head gentek researcher under Weiland Smith's employment

Recording #13

"Santiago nearly escaped containment today, ow; he managed to get out of his restraints sometime last night and stayed hidden in his cell until I came in to check on him. I approached his "bed" and noticed he wasn't there, so as I was about to inform security of a potential escapee, the little fucker jumped out from behind some of the equipment and pinned me down, he muttered something about steps and ascension. He broke my arm and took my fucking keycard, y'know the super important ones we're not supposed to lose; then he kicked me in the face and ran off.

I uh…blacked out after that kick, so the rest of this was relayed to me from Horrigan.

He attacked one of the guards patrolling the halls as they passed by his cell and took their side-arm, then used it to kill the other before they could react. He dragged the bodies back into his cell and dumped them on ME before making a break to the cellblock entrance. (how no one else heard the gun shot is beyond me)

I have one question: why the FUCK weren't the alarms raised the minute he set foot outside his cell?! Was that prick Gary jerking off again instead doing his job?! Look Alan I know he's your cousin, but why is he HERE?! He has the attention span of a 4th grader with ADHD and…wait…does he have ADHD…I mean he…whatever, that's not the point. Couldn't you have gotten him a job as a janitor or something simple that didn't require his full attention? Why did you get him one of the most important jobs in this damned place, I could've died! And another thing; he keeps putting…Bah I'm ranting.

Back to the point of this recording

He managed to avoid detection of the other guards doing their sweep of the cell block, which is pretty surprising for someone of his stature. As he went through the halls he didn't try to help any of the others in the cellblock during his escape attempt, which surprised me; from what I could gather from most of what he says in his sleep (Yes I'm well aware its "weird" that I watch him sleep, but it's my job to monitor him) he had this creed before he was brought in here, like a wolf in its pack. Yet, during his escape he left all those people to their fates. I wonder what caused him to lose that pack-mentality, and go with the "every man for himself" mentality.

The alarm finally tripped when Santiago was within sprinting distance of the cellblock entrance (fuck you Gary), he reached the door before the guards even knew he was out of his cell.

Oh yeah, an important thing that needs to be said: since this place is the forefront of genetic such and such, the doors in between the cell blocks, labs, and the rest of the building work with a genetic lock. What's that you ask; well in the simplest way to explain it to anyone, it works like this: a blood sample is collected from each employee here and put into the computer's data base and the system will use that as a way to determine if you're an actual employee or not.

Of course some people are more valuable to Smith then others; here's how that works, working from highest to lowest

1. Me, Horrigan, Smith, and the others of the inner circle have full access to all of the facilities in the building, except for Smith's office of course (including the escape routes)

2. Certain members of the research teams and the security teams have access to most of the facilities (like clean bathrooms)

3. Most of the security/research teams have basic access to certain facilities (just transitioning from lab to lab and the cellblocks)

4. Janitorial staff have very limited access and are only allowed into certain areas with permission from members of the staff with higher access

5. Gary is not allowed to have access to any part of the facility accept his office and the bathroom provided (yes I'm well aware this isn't an actual rule, but seriously though, fuck you Gary)

The way the lock itself works is pretty simple; once your blood is in the systems memory, the security system requires a blood sample when you wish to go to the labs or any other level of the building (usually a prick on the finger) and then it'll open. "What's the keycard for Dr. Young?" you may ask; well sometimes certain employees named GARY will take a blood sample from you while you're sleeping and gain access to areas of the facility that they don't deserve to be in, then muck about and ruin the janitor's hard work. (FUCK you Gary) The keycard is something used to ensure that whoever's using the blood sample is the actual person.

Apparently when Santiago swiped my card he just waited for the door to open, for a few minutes while the security team approached his position they were given orders to bring Santiago back to his cell…alive (He didn't say what condition he had to be in)

Needless to say he was brought back to his cell after a six minute standoff with the security team; eight of them are dead and four of them are injured.

Oh and Smith has officially called the virus "Lazarus"; Yeah, really creative you schmuck."

Update:

"It's about 2:30-ish in the morning", Young says with a yawn, "just thought I should report this."

"Apparently Santiago had a nightmare earlier, that's not what's important; what's important is what happened to his body during the nightmare. It frightened him so badly his body began producing adrenaline, and the equipment informed me he was producing four or five times the adrenaline that most people should produce. I'm wondering if this is a onetime thing or something we can test. Well we'll find out tomorrow."

"Going back to sleep." Young said as he set down the audio-recorder, failing to turn it off

(Did I mention I hate Gary? Fuck that guy. Why haven't put him through the labs?), Young could be heard in the background as he walked away from the recorder, then sound of the door opening and closing as he leaves, (I could probably make a request with Smith, but what would we do-)

As Young's voice grows fainter and fainter, the sound of boxes moving could be heard in the darkness

"What a dick", a male voice could be heard, "I'm going to move everything in his office two inches to the left tomorrow."

Taking a break for Christmas time, next update should be up around new-year's day
