The once bright, light cyan sky was slowly turning into a deep, dark rainy evening as grey clouds started moving in and were dropping rain down upon the jeeps moving slowly near the gates of the enclosures.

"Here within this enclosure, there lives an object known as the eraser, this creature is nocturnal, meaning it only comes out during the night to hunt for prey, it also has the remarkable ability to change its skin in order to camouflage! since this animal has been made with the genetic code of a chameleon, it can hide in its surroundings by darkening the color of its skin, while it isn't able to turn itself completely invisible, it is still able to match the colors within the dark thanks to this ability so it can sneak up on its prey easier.." an random radio was speaking with a low man's voice as the visitors looked out to see the enclosure, hoping to see the object inside.

"Oh, come on! I can't see it!" Pierce said angrily.

"I can't believe this, we haven't even seen a single one of the objects in any of these exhibits..ugh" Teressa was about to pull out her phone before being interrupted by the driver.

"Hey, remember, no electronics in the jeep!" the driver said.

"How on earth did you know I was grabbing my phone?!" Teressa replied in an annoyed tone.

"I could see the light from your screen in the corner of my eye" the driver added.

"Hey, sir, I wanna ask a question..where are the objects here? we haven't seen a single one.." Chloe said.

"They must be extra shy tonight, usually they would be trying to break their enclosures open" the driver said as Samuel looked over at him with a concerned look upon his face.

"Wait, break their enclosures open? what do you mean by that?" Samuel asked.

"Well.. yaknow, trying to break the fences, trying to climb over the door, that sorta thing" the driver responded.

"Sir, if what your saying is true then I already won't want to allow this place to be opened to the public.." Samuel said.

"What do you mean?" the driver asked.

"If the objects are trying to break out of their enclosures here, that means they are under extreme stress, probably from how small their enclosures are, not only would that be considered animal abuse, but if these creatures get too angry, these wobbly fences are useless against them and they will break out easily, and once their free..I don't even want to think about what they would do" Samuel said.

"Sir, do not worry, the fences here are electrical, they won't be able to escape at all" the driver said as Samuel looked over and noticed a small sign saying "DO NOT TOUCH, 23,000 VOLTS" near the enclosure.

"..If whatever animal in there is able to take in that much electricity just from touching the fence without dying, they have to be extremely dangerous, you simply cannot have an animal that powerful in nothing more then an oversized zoo exhibit, infact- something that powerful should not even be allowed to exist in the wild, it'll destroy any ecosystem it goes into.." Samuel said.

"Listen, your being paranoid, as long as the fences here are powered, no object will have any chance of getting out" the driver said as he looked away.

{Meanwhile..}

Alice was currently inside of the security room as she was reading through a couple papers about the latest updates of the labs scientific research, her eyes were half lidded and dark, her movements were tired and sluggish, and she was going in and out of focus while reading, she was far from her happier, bubbly self from earlier due to the stress and hard work she did earlier this morning.
