(3rd Person POV)
A man in a lab coat sprints towards the door of his lab, as alarms go off all throughout the base. His glasses almost fall off multiple times, but he manages to keep them on.
"nonononononononoNONONONONONONO!" He shouts, as he enters the room, seeing it completely destroyed, minus a tablet on the far wall. "DAMN IT!" He pounds his fist on a damaged table, which ends up breaking it. He scans the tablet for a detailed report on what happened, before looking horrified.
Suddenly, a man in a military uniform enters the room, with multiple armed guards surrounding him. On the front of his uniform, a medal that looks like a clock gleams off his chest, as he looks around the room in horror.
"What in the Blazes happened in here?! Status Report, Now!" The military man barks out.
"Sir, according to these readings, Project Origin has escaped through a crack in time-space. I'm not sure where she went, and frankly, it'd be a miracle if we found her." The scientist laments, hands on his head.
"Damn…!" The general spits out. "...Master ####### won't be happy with this. Perfectly good Female Saiyan and Namekian DNA, gone to waste."
"What should we do now, sir?" The scientist asks, with a worried face. "We don't have any more samples left…"
"Find her. Project Origin is to be used to reach our goals, and to Serve Master #######. If you can't find them, we'll pin the blame on someone else. We will not fail him. He's saved us from our deaths, and we owe him our lives. He gave us work, and those samples to work with. We shall regenerate our heads and take what is rightfully ours."
"Understood, sir. I just wish we didn't have to work with those Rainbow people." The scientist said with a sigh.
"They have biological weapons and dimensional technology that benefit us far too much to remove them. Don't worry, we'll be in control once we get what we want."
"Yes sir. Hail Hydra." The Scientist Salutes.
"Hail Hydra." The general nods.
(Zero Nigiro POV)
"...Holy fuck." I say, nerves shot, with nervous sweat running down my face. The other rewards from the quest enter my inventory. "This just got a lot more dangerous, and complicated."
A/N: This interlude is about the reward Zero got for their "Risk of Rain" quest. I'm going to be working on Chapter 11 when I get the chance. Chapter 11 will be progressing the story.
