Several steps down a steep corridor that was more cave than manmade structure, in a dimly lit room with no windows that was isolated from the rest of the institute, silhouettes quietly went about their work. Research equipment lay about. Files, all sorts of technological gizmos and liquids in tubes laced the walls. They circled around the center of the room, where the only source of light tinted the laboratory in a turquoise hue. The only sound, aside from silent murmurs and muffled buzzing of tubes and machines, came from within this source of light. Three large cylindrical tanks enclosed by thick glass walls and a footing made of complex technology. The blue-ish green viscous solution that filled these containers housing a humanoid shape within them.[break][break]
"The first one is nearing completion. We are one day ahead schedule. I still think we wait until tomorrow." The voice was dry, and coarse. It was a man's voice. The tall scientist standing in a white lab coat with the emblem of the institute of sorcery on it spoke with authority.[break][break]
"If we release it today... we would get almost 24 hours of additional testing done. That could prove invaluable for the completion of the other two subjects." Another voice spoke softer than the first. A female voice. The woman it belonged to had a slim face with almost snake-like features. Her face suggested annoyance.[break][break]
"You might be my superior, but what I've done here far exceeds your capabilities. My personal involvement has not clouded my judgement just yet." The first voice replied, gratingly and with challenge in its tone.[break][break]
"That's right. I am your superior. Check the vitals again. Increase the dosage, and get it out in one hour." Her words were full of poison. [break][break]
"If we do that, it might become instable... Just because the vitals match the prognosis does not ensure complete success. We have the buffer, we should wait." [break][break]
The woman waited a bit. "No. If we deliver results to our benefactor earlier, they might increase funding. Do it now."[break][break]
No more words followed. The muffled buzzing of the machines, and the bubbles rising from the creature in the tank were all that remained.[break][break]
