"You seem unwell." Aria's voice came from behind Gabriel, who was bent over the many monitoring tools of Osiris's old lab.
He looked up and turned towards her.
"I am fine, your majesty. Simply stressed."
Aria walked over to Gabriel, patting his shoulder.
"You have worked very hard today. Perhaps it is time to rest..."
Gabriel shook his head. His sickly green eyes being opened wide in forced energy.
"No. I can't rest. I just can't. Too many things rely on the plans Osiris had made! I can't open the file on subject 024..."
Aria pitied the man...looking around at the empty coffee cups and energy drink cans which littered the floor and desks.
"This isn't a way for someone such as you to live, Gabriel."
Gabriel stared into the eyes of his Queen and could see true compassion in her 6 irises.
"...Fine. I shall rest..." He said. Finally giving in and leaving the monitoring room.
Aria sighed.
She walked over to Osiris's old setup...a loyal follower he was.
She dug through the already opened subject files.
001, Warden. 003, Eliza. 007, Ying and Yang. 014, Cyber. 018, Savannah. 022, Sparky. And the dug out, but unopened file 024.
Aria dug through her memory. Trying to find the PIN from deep in her subconscious...but nothing came to her.
In anger, she hit her hand on the desk. Making a small hole in the metal.
At that moment though, a warning popped up on the screen.
The pop-up was a black square with bold red lettering.
'RIFT OPENED'
Aria immediately clicked on the alert, panicking.
An information tracker appeared, and Aria examined it.
A Dimensional Rift had been opened on Solaris, in close distance to Andronus...
Aria's red eyes widened.
