Back in the lab…

Selene walked through the hallway, clothes straightened, face washed and her hair all done up. Having left her office after the last episode with the professor, Selene had cleaned herself up and resumed work, allowing everything to go back to normal… well almost!

Things had changed a little bit in the lab. The good news was that Selene and Trevor had managed to keep their jobs working in the lab. The bad news was they were no longer in charge of the project and no longer had the authority to oversee Cale’s examination.

Now Selene was just a simple executive level researcher with a little more power than normal researchers. She could delegate some simple tasks but would need authorization to carry out more significant tasks.

As for what she did in particular, it basically involved doing a bit here and a bit there, focusing on everything but not in charge of any—like a bit fat cat whose only job was to sit down and watch. It was clear all of it was because of Pr

  • Krasin’s Last Resort 2

    “I will ask one more time… what are the three of you doing here?”After subduing Hobbs, Jenkins, and Fazz, Krasin finally relaxed and asked his previous question one more time. At the same time, he walked into his office and began looking around at the scattered items littered all over the floor.Although Krasin didn’t care what Hobbs and his ilk were searching for in his office, he had to admit that he was still a little bit curious. And since the urgency of the situation had somewhat subsided in Krasin’s mind, he decided to take things easy for now.Unknowingly, Krasin didn’t realize that he had subconsciously let his guard down, treating what was supposed to be an urgent situation like it was nothing serious at all.In a sense, this couldn’t entirely be blamed on Krasin. Most times, people didn’t know how to cope with pressure, and some had different ways of coping—sometimes even having different coping mechanisms depending on the situation. In the end, different people handled pre

  • Krasin’s Last Resort 1

    Krasin reached his office only to see his door left ajar. Moving closer without making a sound, he peeked in through the open doorway and saw something that left him frowning in disbelief.Krasin’s office was a mess, desks and chairs upended and hard drives storing digital logs and information strewn all over the floor like useless scrap littered the entire office, ruining the pristinely organized office, and in the middle of all this, three people were rummaging through the clutter in search of something.Krasin watching all this confirmed his earlier suspicion. These three were definitely opportunists seeking to use the chaos to search for ways to profit. They were probably looking for valuable pieces of scientific information that they could take with them, probably to sell for a quick buck.They could also be spies sent by rival forces to steal valuable information, but whatever the case, Krasin wasn’t interested in knowing who they were. He was only concerned about if he could de

  • Krasin’s Last Resort

    Krasin ran back to his office in a hurry, his face twisted from fear and panic as the screams and cries for help from his guards seemed to linger hollowly in his ears.Bam!Tripping over his own feet, Krasin slammed into the ground, knocking his head against a piece of fallen rubble in the process, which left him bleeding from his head.Krasin’s eyes teared up from the pain, the whites turning red from irritation and a host of other emotions that he didn’t know how to release. They bottled up inside him, the pressure from everything seeming to press down on his chest, leaving him choked up and breathless to the point of explosion.In the end, with the weight of everything pressing down on him and with no other way to cope, Krasin finally let out an angry scream that spread into the darkness.“Arghhh!!!Damn it!Stupid!Useless!All of them… so useless!Fuck!”In a manner uncharacteristic of him, Krasin yelled and cursed and swore at everything while stomping, kicking, and slamming his

  • Cale’s Lifeline

    Cale’s excitement from seeing Selene could barely be contained. He was swooning with elation at what her presence possibly implied for him. But not daring to jump to conclusions, Cale wanted to confirm he wasn’t seeing things.Ignoring Selene’s question, Cale turned his head the other way and came face to face with a pair of sturdy boots—the same ones the guards wore that Cale had become very familiar with.Trailing upwards with his eyes, Cale saw a pair of strong legs clad inside tight-fitting pants that exposed the slim but well-built proportions of their owner’s thighs and torso. Finally, moving past the minimal bosom and clearly defined pecs, Cale saw the face of the guard from whose back he had fallen off.Cale didn’t recognize the face immediately, and only after taking a moment did it come back to him who this person was. It was the female guard who had sacrificed herself to allow her comrades to escape Cale’s grasp before falling into his hands in the end.This had happened be

  • Waking To Despair Or Salvation

    The soft sound of footsteps and the occasional crackle of electricity sparking in the distance greeted Cale as he regained consciousness, followed by a wave of pain and nausea overwhelming him, giving him the urge to throw up.Heaving dryly and gasping for air, Cale didn’t vomit in the end, and seconds later he began to feel better. The nausea eased, and the pain all over his body subsided considerably—enough that he could finally take stock of his environment.When he came to his senses, that was when Cale realized the situation he was in. He was riding on somebody’s back, being carried down an empty corridor toward an unknown location.The first thing Cale thought of when he realized this was that he had been captured again. Recalling the last scene he saw before losing consciousness, Cale remembered the heavy boots worn by the guards. Looking down at the uniform of the person carrying him, his suspicions seemed confirmed.Responding to his first instinct, Cale immediately tried to

  • Victims Of The Quakes

    Trevor was in his room when the quakes occurred and, like everyone else, he had rushed out in panic to see what was going on. For Trevor, it was more confusion than panic, but regardless, a few minutes later, he found himself being huddled at the top of the laboratory by the guards while they went off to deal with the cause of the commotion.While waiting, Trevor observed his surroundings closely. He was at an emergency muster point located at the very top of the second level of the laboratory along with several other staff, including research and non-research personnel.Initially, when everything started, Trevor had tried wandering around to figure out what had happened. Along the way, he had witnessed the devastation that resulted from the shakes as walls cracked, ceilings collapsed, and the floor opened up below their feet, sometimes swallowing up unsuspecting victims into the dark underbelly of the levels below this one.When everything finally subsided, all that was left was ruin
