Transfurnetic Labs

Prologue

Jack swiped his Id card entering the High Priority Containment Area, making his way down the hall.
"Morning!" A cheery woman greeted Jack as she turned and followed him. She was about 5 foot 3 with long blonde hair and blue eyes, she wore the standard uniform that all entry level scientists wore at the facility. A plain generic lab coat with specialized pants and shoes.
"Morning.." Jack spoke in a monotone voice.
"You ok?" She asked.
"Yeah, just tired, this new substance they just brought in has us high ranks all over the place." He replied entering a meeting room and taking his seat.
"That can do it."
"Go wait in my lab until the meeting is over, got it?"
"Ok!" The woman left as the head of the facility walked in. The figure was a man in his 40s wearing a sleek, clean suit. He had black short hair that was starting to grey, with brown eyes and stood at about 6 foot 1.
"As you all know we have a very real alien substance in our grasps here. Jack here has been kind enough to research it to find out more information, why don't you tell us what you've discovered?" The man spoke.
"Of course Takumi, Sir." Jack opened a folder and pulled out some papers passing them to everyone at the table. "As you can see, this substance is a living organism in hybernation. Taking a sample and studying it, I've found out that not only is it living but it's also get similar properties as Kingdom Animalia, meaning it's got animalistic like properties but as a substance in a consistency of that of maple syrup. We have yet to determine if it actually has a shape or not but I hypothesize that if we can learn how it works we could use it to better understand how the universe forms life in different planets." Jack looked at Takumi.
"Or... We could harness it to genetically modify humans or even animals..." Takumi said curiously.
"It's a possibility but without proper testing we won't know for sure... But i greatly disagree with using it as a bio-weapon. It could cause unforseen consequences if it turns out to be dangerous." A young man spoke up, he had long, messy brown hair and wore the typical high ranking unifrom for scientists. A uniform that consisted of a black lab coat with black matching pants and shoes.
"I will have Jack continue working on it, after all, this could make us money." Takumi smiled.
"I have to agree with researcher Jason, this seems a bit too dangerous for such things." Jack chimed in.
"Well I don't pay you to just state your opinions all day now do I?" Takumi glared at Jack.
Jack hesitated before speaking, "no sir..."
A woman rushed in and approached Takumi whispering into his ear. "Ok, get back to work, I have an urgent matter to tend to." He got up and left with the woman.
As the meeting broke and Jack returned to his lab he found the substance was pulsing. Jack studied it and looked closer seeing it was slowly moving across its small chamber. "It's... Awake?..." Jack seemed interested and concerned.
The woman who was supposed to be in the lab entered the room. "Oh! You're back Mr. Valentine!"
"Yes yes, go inform Mr. Takumi to come to my lab immediately... Tell him.. It's awake." Jack said in a stern tone.
"Y-yes sir!" She ran out of the room.
"Whatever you are... I just hope it isn't lethal..." Jack sighed.
