Project 863 - The Mystery

~Chapter 63~

River was sitting at the lounge area watching Matthias talk to Sam and the camera about luring Scott back as they also talked about the footage of Sam and Woods having something happen to them with Scott at a Syntec location. They also talked about the stuff they found in the locker that had a serum to splinter, aka the way how Deb died. Matthias joked about how Woods was just staring at him without blinking which scared him as River laughed before they began to speak about the briefcase before going on about how Scott could be in a time loop. Still, we ended up breaking it by taking the mountaineer as Matthias explained how they should put the mountaineer back in the spot to see if it continues the loop thing again Sam tossed Matthias the keys as Matthias explained how he would put the Mountaineer back, and would contact the group when the time comes around when Scott comes around at that time as River went back to doing her stuff she was doing like editing videos. When 2:55 pm rolled around River was standing in the kitchen with Matthias, Woods, and Sam as they were talking about the coffee machine Woods talked about what he was making for himself as he talked about the foam for his coffee before taking his cup as they all followed Matthias outside before seeing Scott was already there.

Everyone quickly ran up to meet Scott as Scott looked at them as he began to speak. "Sorry uh... Syntec employees are restricted from speaking to any members of the media or the press." Scott explained to them as Matthias spoke looking at Scott, "Okay, I'm not the press. Not the pressman. I know your name, Scott, right? Scott Cleric, just give me a second to explain everything and I have a feeling you're gonna understand quick, okay? And here's another thing, right? This Mountaineer, I just moved into the spot, I just moved into this spot no joke look at this." Matthias spoke as he tried pulling out the key before seeing he didn't have it Scott took the key out of his pocket and Matthias chuckled while standing there as Matthias spoke. "I had those keys like two minutes ago. Look at the dust on this car, it's been sitting in my warehouse." Matthias explained as Sam showed the camera the car showing the bit of dust on it as Scott looked at him before he spoke. "Sorry, this is a lot..." Scott spoke looking at him as Matthias nodded before looking at Scott as he began to speak once more to him. "How about this, we go back to my studio and we just kind of sort some things out, I ask you some questions. We just kind of like, get on the same page about some things, what do you say?" Matthias asked him as Scott nodded looking at him before responding to him. "That sounds good, yeah," Scott responded to him as Matthias nodded before they all decided to go back to the studio. 

"Can I ask you a question?" Matthias asked Scott as Scott nodded before Matthias, "This looks different, doesn't it. Can I ask what's different?" Matthias asked as Scott tried to explain how he worked there which made River shake her head before they all went inside Scott was able to see how different it was in the building as he talked about how there was a lab as they all began to go to the conference room as they asked if he wanted anything as he asked for water which was already upstairs as Scott asked about when they changed everything as they all explained how it's been a while since then before going inside the conference room as Bailey asked what year it is for Scott as he didn't give them an answer at the time before everyone went to take a seat as River sat beside Matthias as the male began to speak. "Before we get into it, before we start asking questions, I like to give you some opportunity to ask questions because I'm sure if my suspicions if your guy's suspicions are correct, you're pretty disoriented right now," Matthias spoke as Scott sat there for a moment before he began to speak. "It's just... I can't... I don't know how to explain anything, this... I use to work here, I thought I did work here, I was just at work, how is it so different?" Scott asked looking at Matthias as he looked at Scott before responding to him. "I don't know what it looked like beforehand..." Matthias explained as Scott talked about how it was Syntec with labs as Matthias explained to him how it was Syntec but a long time ago.
