[Nelson Syphus HQ]

Phantom #590 (Syphus' private intercom): Sir?

Nelson Syphus (annoyed): What?

Phantom #590: We've managed to locate another of Life's Blood.

Nelson Syphus: What good will that do, if my lead scientist is GONE?!

Phantom #590: We've also found a Syntec employee who worked on the 590 and Pegasus Projects.

Nelson Syphus: Finally. Something useful out of you Phantoms.

(Evil chuckle)


[Red Base Warehouse]

Wesley Nathaniel: Don't let the adrenaline get to you! You need to stay in control!

Wesley Nathaniel, aka Wes, had been trying to teach Woods, Woodland Demars, or Subject 3, how to act now that he had been injected with Life's Blood, and its antidote. Wes had been a cruel "phantom" who had been Nelson Syphus', more commonly known as "Syphus", little puppet. After Woods managed to give Wes the antidote, Wes was reunited with his love, Deb, and able to assist Matt, Sam, and Woods in their fight against Syphus. After a 2 week rest, Woods and Wes were right back at what they did best. Learning.

Wes was chasing Woods, trying to show him how to use his enhanced body. However, they had been at this for three days. And Woods still couldn't get it.

Woods: Ugh! That's easy for you to say!

All of a sudden Woods jumped and climbed up to the balcony in the warehouse. He flew when he was trying to fight. He angrily slammed his hands against the railing.

Woods: Dangit! Again!

Wes climbed up the stairs and stood next to him.

Wes: You'll get it.

Woods scoffed.

Woods: Yeah? When?

Wes sighed and was about to say something when Matt came in.

Matt: Woods? Wes?

Woods: Up here Matt. After this many times, I think you should just start automatically looking up here.

Matt sighed.

Matt: Still can't get it?

Wes shook his head.

Wes: Although, it took a lot longer for him to decide to climb up here. We were at it for 20 minutes, instead of 10. So...you are improving, Woods.

Woods sighed.

Woods: I guess so. So, what's up, Matt?

Matt: Deb wants to see both of you.

Woods: Again? We just saw her two hours ago! Are you sure she wants both of us? Not just Wes?

Matt shook his head.

Matt: She was specific. Both of you.

Woods sighed.

Woods: I'm sorry, Matt.

Matt: Why?

Woods jumped over the railing and landed on the concrete floor without stumbling.

Woods: Me spending so much time away from Project 863, and you guys. No offense, Wesley.

Wes shook his head with a smile as he came down the stairs.

Matt: Woods, the best way to help us, and Project 863, is to do this training. You're fine, bro. Now go on. Don't want to be late for your meeting with Deb.
