To say that my heart was hammering in my chest was an understatement. I hid in the closet, and tried to listen, carefully, over the sound if my thudding heart.
It had all transpired so quickly. I hardly had time to think.
I was too impulsive, like my mother always said.
When I got home from the museum opening I waited till the Marcus's went to bed. Then I started hacking. I found it more than a little disturbing when I cracked the password to the Admiral's computer, and it turned out to be the word WAR!
I did a search of everything on Carol's list.

Experimentations
Mostly, I found photos. Photos of several Cyrotubes, and the most alarming photos were of a large space ship built for combat.
However, there was something that disturbed me more than a large war ship. When I searched the experimentations there was a long list of experiments performed on an individual known as J.H in room 159.
Getting into Section 31 was surprisingly easy. I hacked the admiral's computer and issued myself a false ID card as a scientist. After that all I needed was a white lab coat and a blonde wig to conceal my identity.
When I enter room 159 I found a medical examination table and a long line of syringes prepared for...experiments. I was about to take a look at the lab computer when I heard loud angry voices coming from the hall. I smushed myself into a supply closet that smelt of odd chemicals. I hoped that there would be no adverse effects.
"Let. Them. Go."
"Not until my ship it built, Khan."
I new that voice! Admiral Marcus!
"It's almost done," the man's voice though deep and strong, quivered, "let my crew go."
"No. They will remain under my command until I say so."
"And you will continue to torture me until then."
"Consider it your sacrifice for humanity. These experiments will help us create better soldiers in times of war."
"And if I don't my crew dies."
"It's your choice."
I heard the man called Khan get onto the table, and the Admiral left as a bunch of people entered the room.
From what I heard from their conversations, I could tell they were scientists.
This wasn't going to be good.
