☣ sᴇᴄᴏɴᴅ sᴀᴛᴜʀᴀᴛɪᴏɴ (backdated a week)

[ Well... guess who found the science lab? But despite this, he's not happy. At all. ]

The blood samples I had taken from the monsters have disappeared.

[ Inexplicably. All the locks were in place, nothing was visibly tampered with. His dissected cadavers, his DNA samples, blood samples, biopsies, everything. Gone. Without a trace. Not even a scent was left. ]

The monsters vanished as quickly as they arrived. All I have left is my research notes.

Perhaps I underestimated this 'United Earth.'

[ Somewhere between grudging acknowledgement and sheer resentment. Either their presence in the world was timed, or these guys are that good. ]

Well I guess you could try to create other monsters like the ones who attacked us. Or you could used that DNA as target for some biological weapon.

[wentviral]

Well look at that. You are a smart girl, after all.

[ That probably sounds more patronizing than praising, however. ]

[feel_nevermore]

What about you tell me something I don't know?

[Video]

[wentviral]

I would be careful what you wish for.

[feel_nevermore]

I wish not to waste my time. Your scientific project could be of interest. But if you're not willing to share, I'd rather you just said so.

[wentviral]

How droll. It's hard not to share a virus.

[Video - Private]

[feel_nevermore]

A virus? ...What virus?

[Video - Private]

[wentviral]

You will know in due time. I promise you that, and I am a man of my word.

[Video - Private]

[feel_nevermore]

And I'm supposed to believe a man I've just met?

[Video - Private]

[wentviral]

No.

[Video - Private]

[feel_nevermore]

At least we agree on that.

Is that the reason why you refuse to tell me more about that virus of yours?

[Video - Private]

[wentviral]

When it is completed you will not be able to miss it.

[Video - Private]

[feel_nevermore]

Well like most people, I usually prefer to know about things before they actually happen.

...You're used to fighting your fights alone, huh?

[Video - Private]

[wentviral]

I care nothing for this world, or its inhabitants. All I was asked to do was eradicate the United Earth. They were thankfully mum on the amount of collateral damage I was allowed to cause.

[Video - Private]

[feel_nevermore]

Asked? Asked by who?

[Video - Private]

[wentviral]

Do you expect me to believe you are ignorant of your purpose for being here?

[Video - Private]

[feel_nevermore]

You mean you don't have a specific contact? [Just the 'Initiative' is pretty vague.]

[Video - Private]

[wentviral]

Frankly, I wouldn't care even if I had one.

[Video - Private]

[feel_nevermore]

You seem to like your job a lot.

[Video - Private]

[wentviral]

I do what humanity has forbidden nature to do since its inception.

[Video - Private]

[feel_nevermore]

And how does that translate into English?

[Video - Private]

[wentviral]

Natural selection.

[Video - Private]

[feel_nevermore]

So you think only the strongest and most resistant should survive?

[Video - Private]

[wentviral]

It is as nature intended.

[Video - Private]

[feel_nevermore]

Hmm.

[Sounds more like you're playing God to her.]
