Project Hero Red

Chapter 3- The colour of Red

(I'm sorry for the long chapter wait, I've been procrastinating lol)

All I could think of was the red suit we'd received from beyond the portal.

There was something about the suit that kept my mind wandering. I wanted to know how it worked and what the Operant's wanted to use it for before their untimely death.

Judging from the position of one of the bones, it had almost reached out to the suit but its small stature made it hard for it to reach.

Reaching out for the suit, perhaps?

I knew I was a little distracted from this as I sat there during a meeting, mulling over the possibilities that the suit would provide from such a technological advanced race of alien. A few times I found myself writing down little bits and pieces here and there. Mendel noticed.

"Is there something wrong, Dr Sandell?"

I immediately looked up towards him and shook my head "Nothing sir."

Mendel looked a little cross at me as he continued his speech and I continued being distracted.

"As regards to the suit that Sandell's team has found, I would like for them to do their research on how we can be able to utilise this for the betterment of our own research into alien life. I expect a full report on my desk as soon as possible. That is all."

The meeting was dismissed and we set off to the laboratory. Chioma had a word with me.

"Hey Sandell, is there something wrong? You've been pretty distracted lately."

I took a deep breath and replied "I'm still trying to get my head around the whole purpose of the suit."

"Ah... I might not have an idea but I heard that Dr Borough has looked into the symbols that were crafted along the side of the suit itself."

"She has?" I asked. Chioma nodded.

"Yeah, she'd noticed some symbol's on the side of the suit and has been able to translate to a degree on what it's supposed to mean."

"I see," I said as I walked with him back to the elevator and straight to the laboratory.

We spotted Dr Borough making notes on the suit as she quickly came back to the suit, her brow furrowed. She smiled immediately as soon as she'd spotted us.

"Hi guys!" she said as she quickly ushered us over towards the suit that had been carefully laid out on top of the table.

"Borough," I acknowledged her with a nod before looking down at the red suit that was laid on the table. The craftsmanship of the suit was sublime, out of this world. It was from out of this world.

Borough noticed my face "Dr Sandell, is something wrong?"
