We entered the building and, we noticed, on the inside the building was still well kept. Like someone was living here. It was so unreal; seeing a building like this that's not in ruins like the others. The outside was dirty, but the inside, no. It felt so weird... And Eerie. Knowing that this place is still clean after all this time.
"Elias?" I called out.
"What?" He responded
"Don't you notice... How clean this building is?"
"Yes. But there's a plausible explanation for it."
"How so?"
"Well, you know, the fingerprint scanner. The thing keeps outsiders out and insiders in it seems like. It looks to me that the Beasts never got in here; because of the fingerprint scanner. They're not smart enough to do that, ya' know." I shook my head in agreement.
We walked forward, careful of our surroundings. We saw a computer and a desk at the front, but the computer itself was obviously in ruins. I went up to it. The thing was from 2093. It didn't work anymore; probably from running all these years, the battery tripped. I moved forward from it and we noticed a map of the building. There were a total of five floors. One was here, the second one was the "technology design floor," third one was a "Laboratory experiment floor," fourth one was a cafeteria, for the employees, I assumed. Fifth one was a... Living quarters.
"People lived here?!?" I asked, shocked by the news.
"They used to, it looked like," Elias responded. "I would think the survivors moved to a less... Populated area. If you know what I mean." I looked at him, then we both decided to go up the first level.
The first level had a few rooms. We decided, since this was new to us, we'd stick together. We went to one room, which had scraps of metal, but nothing really interesting in it. It was more research, involving robotics. The other room had hardly anything in it. It looked to me they were researching the possibility of Bionics here. There was a third room, but it was locked. We had to get a key to get into it.
We decided to go up to the next floor, which was the Laboratory Experiment floor. There was about half a dozen rooms here. Most were vacant, except one. We checked it out and there were cages of dead animals. All were closed, except one that was wide open. We looked around, and there was papers on top of the cage. We read it and it said:
"August, 5th, 2096,
The Nightfall experiment on test subject #129 was a success! The German Shephard, is doing well, it can be used to learn better. It has better cognitive functions. The subject is learning faster than expected. It learned to walk on two feet in one week. The subject can communicate via barking. We taught it words using barking, however, the experiment seems vicious.
August, 20th, 2096,
The subject is still doing well, it just seems more vicious. The thing is learning more, and is starting to run on its legs. It even learned how to draw with its mouth. So far so good.
September, 29th, 2096,
The subject escaped. We are in trouble. We need to contain it...
October, 2nd, 2096,
We found the subject. It was in the cafeteria. We decided to lock it up tighter and more secure. The experiment is still underway.
October, 5th, 2096,
The subject is becoming faster, stronger, and smarter. We will do more tests to see how strong.
