Dr. MEI was sitting in an office. Her office to be exact. What was she doing? Well she was currently on the phone with a colleague of hers.
Dr. MEI: Were you able to get what you needed from the rock?
Dr. Smitty: Yes thank you. It was most certainly worthwhile!
Dr. MEI: Good. While I do like it here, I would much rather leave knowing that we hadn't wasted resources on a wild goose chase.
Dr. Smitty: Yes I agree.
There was a small pause as the two took time to collect their thoughts. Dr. Smitty was the first to speak afterwards.
Dr. Smitty: So, How did things play out while you were there?
Dr. MEI was quiet for a while before she answered. It was almost like she hesitated, something she was not known for.
Dr. MEI: To script sadly.
Dr. Smitty: Ah… what a shame.
Dr. MEI: Yes it is. So you think they know about it?
Dr. Smitty: Most certainly. Given how advanced they are they should know.
Dr. MEI: I suppose you're right.
…
…
Dr. Smitty: There was one line that I found rather curious.
These words seemed to peak Dr. MEI's interest.
Dr. MEI: Oh? Would you mind sharing?
Dr. Smitty: Of course!
He said with a hint of glee.
Dr. Smitty: "Florid moon shines upon a world that is doomed to die." It's an unsettling phrase. But I still don't know what it meant.
Dr. MEI: Given what the text has said before, I think this may have a literal meaning.
Dr. Smitty: Great now it makes even less sense.
He grumbled.
Dr. MEI: For now, all we can do is prepare for the inevitable.
Dr. Smitty: Yes! And now that we are in possession of the core we have all the necessary materials to finish it.
Dr. MEI: Yes. Now, I believe you have other things to take care of?
Dr. Smitty: You're right. Take care.
Dr. MEI: You too.
They both put down their phones, ending the call.
Dr. MEI walked over to a filing cabinet and opened it before grabbing two Manila folders and closing it back before walking over to her desk and sitting down at her desk.
Dr. MEI: Bow lets see…
She opened the first folder and began to read it..
Dr. MEI: Project 557-423… Humph.

We find ourselves in a dark laboratory, the only things lighting it up were the dim lights coming from all the mostly empty pods that lined the walls of the room.
Inside one of them was a human looking figure, its eyes were closed and its face was expressionless.
Its finger twitched once, then again. This happened for a few seconds and ten…
…Its eyes opened. The glowing orbs were different colors, one was an ocean like blue, the other was more orange like.
There was only one feeling, one want in those eyes. It was hungry…
Hungry for BLOOD.
