Gen. Raige finally finished fixing his things
He sat down and explained everything to me
R: “ Dr.Weiss’ Project, “Paradox Factor” , was very promising”
F: “Wait...Paradox Factor?...I thought he was working on the Maximum Factor Project”
R: “Paradox Factor takes the Maximum Factor Project 100 steps higher, the project also utilizes the Mutanomes, but increases the mutation levels by a horrific 250%, the effects are unstable, and so are the results, this was the first reason I said no, second, he already started human trials without my approval”
R: ”all 120 applicants, failed and died”
Those words sent chills to my spine, I never knew Dr. Weiss was this obsessed over his project to the point of killing, But why? Why would he do such methods
R: “Let me be clear of just one thing Dr. Falcsh, if you take any part in Dr. Weiss’ project, you will be expelled from this facility, all equipment removed, all funds...”
F: “I know...I’ll have no life...I know”
R: “*sigh* I know he’s your best friend, and it pains me to see friends fight, but sometimes its right to contradict them so that they may see the error in their ways”
F: “I understand General”
R: “Good, that’ll be all, you are dismissed”
I left the room with a million questions to ask Wayland
But it all sums up to one word
Why?
I arrived at our lab and found Wayland’s desk was empty, his equipment were also gone
There was also a note on my desk saying “I’m very sorry”
The empty desk was expected after his talk with Raige, but what’s with the “ I’m very sorry” note?
Suddenly, the facility alarm rang
I was about to head out of the room Gen. Raige burst in, he was covered in sweat and panic filled his face
I’ve never seen him like that, it gave me an uneasy feeling
R: “He took Penny”
Those words
Those words made me feel numb, I didn’t know how to react
I was filled with rage and at the same time grief
My head was spinning with the events that happened so quickly
It overwhelmed me to the point that it took my consciousness
And left me lying on the floor
Broken
I failed to keep my promise
