CHAP 7:Laboratory

As we entered the successful experiment ward, we were met with an very complex terminal which was in emergency mode and showed that the enclosures in which the three experiments were contained entered an full lockdown mode to prevent an security breach, which means the experiments are potentially deadly and have the capacity to break containment, which means monsters. The fact that the light are out means i can't invade Umbrella servers and see the files of what exactly is being experimented here, Japan is where they run "genetic perfectioning" tests, but the files i was able to access didn't elaborate on what exactly that means, but i was able to atleast see there was something more than the Progenitor Virus and its descendants, something about fossils of something ancient, but nothing more.

As i pondered about these things we approached the first enclosure, it had an minor terminal and some files scattered here and there, Doctor was already analyzing one she had found and Hacker was analyzing the terminal, Brawler and cutthroat looked bored, Courier was inspecting the door and Olivia was embracing the black cat, mostly out of fear, i took an file in hopes of finding something and rapidly scanned it.

'Subject 002, huh? Female, an addiction to sugar and animalistic behavior, physical age 6, has increased strenght, body resistance and rapid regeneration. Subject has the capacity to be integrated in society despite physical differences with humans, horns may be taken off in hopes of mantaining our discoveries an secret, the red skin apparently recedes with time. Klaxosaur DNA integration with the virus has granted good results. The fuck is an klaxosaur?'

"Have any of you found anything?"

I asked.

"This full lockdown mode apparently prevents us from going onwards without the confirmation of the subject's neutralization by the system, i can't override the system from here, the central terminal is up ahead and only from there could i override it."

"Which means we have to enter the enclosure of this 002 subject, fuck. Found anything to help us, Doctor?"

"Nothing."

She's lying, she's interested in this research, and in this subject. I could pressure the information out of her, but i too am interested in this subject. I hope my curiosity does not end up killing me.

"Well then, nothing to do but open this thing then. Any idea on it, Hacker?"

"Brute force"

"So the same idea as mine. Brawler, could you do us an favor and destroy the door?"

"Finally something to do"

He simply punched through the door, his strenght is truly monstrous.

"I'm the communication expert here so let me go first, I'll try to comunicate with her first."

As i am entering the decontamination room, no one follows me. The door that led to outside was reinforced, but this one is not. As i pull the door open and pass rapidly before it closes on me, I'm attacked by an red horned pink haired child. She growled and bit my leg, so this is what they meant by animalistic behavior. I'm not going to kick an child, i still have some resquices of moral, so i tried patting her head. She moves her target and bites my hand, thank god for my CON and {Pain resistanece} or else this little fucker would have gone flying, cute or not.

"Heyyy, little girl, I'm not here to experiment on you, I'm here to free you, so can you stop biting my hand?"

She hesitated an bit, which is good because it means she undestands me, after that hesitation i am once again bit, but this time is less of an attack and more of an "trying to understand what i am" bite, and she soon stops. My wound visibly heals, and she goes to an corner to take an book, i am able to see it's title for an moment, "The beast and the prince", i hope she doesn't see me as an prince or anything, I'm not an pedophile and would prefer not to unintentionally groom someone. She hold my pants, and i look at her face and get an epiphany, I've seen this girl in the show one of my fling's son was watching, and she was named Zero-two there. If i have to deal with some mosnter lizard bullshit in this world as well I'll get mad.

[Don't worry, the robot mecha, monster and alien bullshit is nonexistent here, this girl was made from the Klaxo-sapien DNA found in fossils and reconstructed and recombined with the human DNA, then infected with the Progenitor virus.]

'Don't worry, he says as he proceeds to describe the possibly terrifying monster this little girl could be. And you said she is infected with the Progenitor virus, does that mean that I've been infected as well?'

[Yes, but you will suffer no adverse reaction from it, and you've received klaxo-sapien DNA as well.]

'You're fucking with me'

[I am not]

As i pondered what to do with this information, i pulled the door open for me and 02 to pass through, as we left her enclosure we were met with all of the Akudama ready to fight and aiming at the door, Zero-two hid behind me and i put my hands up.

"Woah, woah, i got this, put you weapons down"

The Doctor rapidly went to check 02 "safety" but i know she was only trying to get an sample out of the little girl. She actually did an general check-up on Zero-two, which surprised me since i thought she was not an real Doctor, but i saw she putting the girl's saliva inside an test tube. How does she manage to keep all this equipment with so little space in her coat? Anime logic, i guess.

Zero-two let her do this because she had an doctor's coat, so she thought it was normal, the miracles of conditioning. The Doctor turned to me with an inquisitive look.

"So you like little girls? I'm disappointed'

"Don't slander me, i simply have an bit of fatherly experience"

"You left offspring?"

"No, but i took care of kids by the day, and mothers by the night."

"You're an man of experience, then? Interesting"

Zero-two looked confused, it seems she doesn't knows how to talk, but she seems to understand words and an bit of their meaning. Doctor seems to want to bring me to her side if her blatant flirting is anything to know. Olivia is slightly blushing because of what i said, and Cutthroat is emanating an bit of hatred, out of possesiveness, probably. Brawler and Courier are simply uninterested. I kneeled and started fiddling with the bracelet 02 had, it was an life monitor/tracker, Umbrella must have put more insurances in place then this, but I'll let Hacker deal with that, in fact, here he comes.

"I deactivated one of the life monitors, but there must be more"

Hacker armed one of his drone's lasers and pointed it at 02. I put my revolver against his head and asked.

"What the fuck do you think you are doing?"

"Opening the way"

"You won't kill her"

"Why not? It's easier this way"

"She is an little kid, and possible helper"

"She isn't an kid, she is an monster"

"Aren't we all monsters here? You can kill her if you want, but be assured you'll be killing yourself as well"

"You'll be responsible for her then"

"Wouldn't have it other way"

I asked for the Doctor for one of her tranquilizers, and put 02 to sleep. The document said killing her would be an waste of resources, so reducing her bodily activities will deactivate the lockdown on this section.

As i hoped, the lockdown had ceased, and the doors opened. They led to the next section, i believe there are three sections, one for each experiment.
