77:

Yes.. YES !! After 2 days she's finally finished, I finished my experiment !
I called Specimen 13, sure, we're only up to Specimen 6, but with her Lab Name being 1313, it'd feel weird calling her specimen 7. Now.. where can I put her... ?

There's an aquarium here, if I stuff her inside, all will be okay for me, at least, I think they will. I don't know if they'll recognize her, they might but I don't care, what's the chance they'll believe what she says ? A majority of us don't like her, no one will be hearing her out, and I haven't tested if she can even still speak anymore, let alone underwater

Now, when I pick her up, I'll have to be gentle and pray she doesnt suddenly reanimate while in my arms, and her additional features are still slightly frail, I don't want my little project to be ruined.
But.. should I even take the risk of her still being able to speak ? Maybe I should release her.. but how ?
Hm.. I do have permission to go outside, but I can't leave the Mansion's campus, and there's a rather large body of water nearby.. and seeing how fragile she is, who knows if she'll even live past 1 experiment

Yes.. I must throw her out into the wild, or.. I can transport her away via the Kira Genisis
It can summon creatures, but it can also teleport creatures, I don't have to go outside and risk getting into too much trouble, and plus, who's to say that when I throw her that I'll actually manage go get her into the water ? She might decide to crawl back, but if I insta transport her into the ocean, I should be fine

I carried her down, I got into the GLAs Only Elevator and set to go down to the first floor Dollhouse Lab, No one is around.. coast is clear, the dolls sure as hell can't tell I'm here, I'll be fine, hell, even if the dolls caught me, they can't tell anyone.
I walked around the halls, occasionally looking down at Specimen 13's cold body, her eyes are still closed, I can make it without anyone spotting me !! If anyone asks where she went, I'll just play dumb, maybe even tell them I last saw her go to Specimen 5 to add in a bit of framing

I set her down gently on the circle and lit the candles, now just to turn on the genisis and send her away..
I turned it on and input the code, I scrolled until I saw the option to transport her to a sea where GL Labs takes whales to feed some of these monsters and to feed the hellgates, it's great !
I pressed the button to start the process and in a matter of seconds, she was gone, I immediately turned it off, blew out the candles and tried to sneak out-

Clank.. Clank..

Oh ?? Is someone here ??
I creaked the door open and looked around, the footsteps started to approach, I held back a gasp- no one should be here right now !! Why is there someone here ?! Did they have a similar idea ?! I have to get out !!
If I stay in this room, they'll be sure to find me, but I also can't make too much noise..
The door on my left is a sliding, somewhat loud door, but I can tell the noise is coming from the right so.. I might have to just run

I quickly sprinted to the door, opened it, and kept running, I could hear the footsteps also turn into running, whoever or whatever waa here was after me, but I can't focus on that,I have to just make it to the elevator, immediately go back up and report to my bosses

I heard the chaser grabbing something and then click a button, but whatever- it's not like-

" GENERIC LAB ASSISTANT 77 !! FREEZE !! "
What ?! Caught ?! How was I caught ?! Or do they just want to question why I'm here ?!
I turned around and stopped running, panting, I now realize how silly it was for me to not continue running, for all I knew, this could've been an entity that can mimic people- yes- maybe that's still a possibility.. anything here is possible.
I was about to turn back and keep running but I bumped into someone, a superior of mine, they grabbed my arm and kept me from going any further

Oh no oh fuck- How ?! I cannot get caught so fast !!
The other approached me and glared, I tried not to sweat, I immediately tried to run damage control
" Look- I just heard that something happened down here and- " " silence !! "
Oh lord- why won't they trust me ?! Why won't they listen !!? I'm the hardest worker here, I should be more respected than this !!

" Our alert systems notified us that someone had come down here without permission, someone entered the lab without permission, and someone had turned on and used one of the Kiras we have, was that not you ?! " He spoke, very sternly. I can't believe it.. they had hidden security systems ?! Without letting anyone know, let alone me ?! They're best worker ?! How rude !! How terrible !!
I fumbled with my words, trying to think of the best way to get out of this, to not get into trouble-

" I told you ! I heard something was going on so I came down to check it out, but that wasn't me ! " And as I spoke, the guy was searching through his phone, once I finished my statement, he raised a brow then shoved his phone in my face, " really ?! "
It was a picture of me from the point of view of the Kira Genisis I used, you can see Specimen 13's tail in the background, oh shoot- oh shoot-
Why was I so stupid as to not consider the fact that maybe there were hidden cameras ?! I should've just chopped her up and fed her to something here !!
But.. what's going to happen to me now ? Will I be demoted to some stupid test dummy just like a few other disobedient assistants ?

" What's that in the back ?! What were you doing ?! "
" And don't even think of lying, you've already proven yourself to not be trustworthy, 77. "
" .. it- it was just something I found so I- believed the best course of action was to send it away ! "
" YOU WHAT ?! WHY ?! " I flinched from the sudden screaming, but oh well, there's no going back now
" It's dead, why would we need it ?! " " Any possible paranormal thing or being may prove vital to us and we cannot risk losing anything so important "
I sighed heavily and rolled my eyes, " oookayyyy.. what are you going to do to me now ? "
" Let's see.. all those security system alerts are all their own seperate incident, you lied TWICE, you got rid of potentially useful material AND you used a Genisis without permission, AND it was one from a lab we told Lab Assistants TO AVOID because it's CURRENTLY DANGEROUS and needs some rest !! " He balled his hands into fists, I can almost see a vein pop out of his head and he looks very red, but I'm not in the mood for this

" That doesn't answer my question !! " " You are demoted to a test dummy at best, executed at worst " " execution ?! " " Yes, we have very strict rules and you broke very serious ones, the way you answer these questions may depend on what will be done with you, what exactly was that dead body ? "
" I just- found it in the aquarium, I have no idea how it got there but I think it's a mermaid "
The other guy was tapping on his phone again, the guy holding me seemed to be thinking, staring into my eyes, he squinted, I kept trying to stare

" Ok. Repeat. Did you have anything to do with a dead body ? "
I know some of these guys have specialized lie detectors on their phones, maybe that's why he was tapping on his phone, to get on the app
Well
Fine.

" Yes "
True
" Why ? "
" ... Let's just say we won't be seeing 1313 anymore.. I got rid of her "
Correct
" YOU DID WHAT !? "
" Yes. And I refuse to elaborate "
" Fine " and immediately, the guy holding me smashed my head into the floor-
