The room is dark. The only sources of light are the glowing neon-green substances in the tubes and glass pipes connected to a source.
The dim-lit room, probably a basement or a secret lab somewhere underground, has two people in it: the scientist and his partner.
"Raccoon City experiment, test one. Suzan, proceed." The scientist says to his partner, a middle-aged woman with dull-painted eyes.
Her expression doesn't show even a tinge of emotion. Her long braided hair sways with the force of her movement as she pulls down a huge lever which immediately activates the green substances.
The scientists' voice echoes in the room. More of a deep and cold venomous sound impersonating a human's voice.
He could be a ventriloquist doll, mimicking the voice of a snake trying its best to hide the blood staining its teeth.
Maybe he stole someone else's voice and claimed it as his own.
Then a third person appears. Her eyes add to the illumination of the scene. She looks dense and pale and almost... lifeless.
What have they done to her?
Her skin merely reflects the green illumination of the room and her stiff stance refuses to show at least a slight sign of movement.
She is somehow attached to some poles. Like the ones that malls use to help the mannequins stand. And the glass tube seems to be connected and flowing through her system through different and specific areas on her body.
"Hello, Amanda..." The scientist speaks once again.
She managed not to flinch at the menacing sound that just came from the scientist's mouth. Her eyes seem to be a glowing blue. Not the shade of blue that you see as you look up at the sky. Not the serene and calm blue that makes you feel like flying. No.
Thalassophobia. Fear of drowning.
The kind of blue that provokes the feeling of water surrounding you and suffocating you as you try to break to the surface for air.
Wait. Amanda?
"Hello, f-f-fathe—" She dies out...
A robot?!
