[QUOTE="Agamon, post: 1476769, member: 184"] [B]Epilogue[/B] [B]An unknown laboratory[/B] Dr. McDermott adjusted his glasses as he studied the data on the monitor intently before referring back to his datapad to punch in some numbers. Looking back to the screen, he hears a *beeep* followed by a female voice emanating from the monitor. “Dr. McDermott, Ms. Nelson is on the line.” “Put her through,” he says, setting the datapad on the table. The face of Elizabeth Nelson appears on the monitor, her expression professionally neutral. “Hello, Alan. Everything is up and running smoothly, I trust?” The doctor nods. “For such a hastily constructed lab, it fits our needs greatly, thank you.” “Don’t thank me, thank our benefactors,” the woman responds. “I am not certain if you are aware, but we no longer are under the employ of BioGen. That company’s fortunes have fallen drastically since the escape of the subjects.” McDermott arches an eyebrow. “So who pays me now?” “That is on a need to know basis, doctor, and right now, you do not need to know. Simply be happy with the fact that they’ve hidden you there, away from the scrutiny that Dr. Anton is currently undergoing.” “And you?” “I was simply Dr. Anton’s secretary, and had nothing to do with the affairs of administration,” Nelson answers in straight voice. “Right. Somehow, I doubt Julian is going to take the blame on this alone. You should be hiding, yourself.” “My affairs are not your own, doctor,” she responds, finally showing a bit of emotion in her both her face and speech. “You would do well to instead concentrate on the task at hand. Our benefactors are impatient people. It is said that No Return will soon be ready for use. An alternative is required, and you are the one that said you could deliver it.” “And I will, but the process takes time. This is an extraterrestrial virus that we’re dealing with. Though I thought finding a cure would be extremely difficult at best, we’ve made some headway these past few weeks.
