The lights of the dim laboratory flickered on and off as the cloaked figure made his way to his office. Quiet steps echoed down the eerie, molding halls, and any surrounding life dashed away and out of sight.
The Royal Scientist reached out a single hand, unlocking his private lab and opening up the creaking, ancient door. He stalked slowly inside, sitting near a table with several piles of disorganized notes scattered across the surface. He swished through the documents until he found the paper he was looking for, lifting it to his eyes to skim through its contents.
He took a sip from a cup standing on the table before refocusing on the document. The words and sentences were written in an unintelligible language, with strange, mysterious symbols embedded into them. The man seemed to find what he had been looking for in his notes, and stood back up, exiting the room and heading to an old elevator.
The door clunked open slowly, making constant, strained, groaning noises from inside the machine. With the press of a button, the lift rose, buzzing quietly. The Scientist sighed and stood in the box, gazing around the boring scene absentmindedly. Eventually, the elevator doors creaked open once more, and the man stepped into the main laboratory.
“There you are, Doctor!” A voice called from somewhere in the dark room. “You’ve been down in the True Lab for hours. I was wondering if I should have gone searching for you.”
The man responded in a muttered tone. They stood up straight and shuffled towards a box, plopping down onto it.
“A-anyway, did you find out what went wrong with your new secret weapon? I recall you saying there was a mistake in the tests that messed up the DNA transfer.” The voice seemed to hesitate slightly before continuing. “I found the n-new vessel for your… Other experiment.”
The man shot up from his seat, excitement tingling through him. He asked something to the voice in a strange tongue.
“Yes, I know where they are. I think they’ll have a more... Capable body for your tests than some of our other failed attempts…” Their voice trailed off.
The man nodded, then answered in the same language he had used before.
“I’ll lead you to them. I’m sure you’ll find them very interesting.”
