The Union RPG

"Loren," Liam called from his computer. He knew the interrogator would be nearby, as he hadn't brought in a new set of civillians. "You might want to see this." On his screens were three camera stills from the street cameras.

Nicholas nodded and poured himself some tea. He turned back, watching her movements as she worked.

Audrey led him through the streets, trying to stay in alleys more than on the main roads. "So where did you stay before this?" she asked softly.

Brit pushed her glasses up as she scanned the file. Her father had been working on this before he had been killed and she had been asked to finish his work. "Can you bring me five test tubes?"

Nicholas brought them over and set them in the stand. "Anything I can do?" he asked softly, standing behind her.

"Tea would be nice," Brit said as she slowly dripped a few chemicals into the first test tube. She didn't look up as she reached for another bottle.

He obliged, setting the porcelain mug within her reach but out of the way of the chemicals. "What are you working on now?"

Brit closed the file beside her. "Something my father started, you won't be helping with it." She took a sip of her tea. "Thank you. There's a stack of files at the end of the table, I want you to read through them and ask if you have any questions. You'll be helping me with those projects so you need to understand what I'm doing for each."

He didn't like that. But, he went to the files and began reading through them. She was much more secretive than Dr. Temple, who had constantly bragged about all the projects he'd been working on, making Nicholas do most of the work, which made it easy to change the formulas and ruin his projects. But now that he'd been reassigned, he was sure the serum was back on track.

Almost half an hour later Brit stood and streched. Each test tube was filled with a differnt liduid. "How's it going?" She asked as she looked over at him.

"Good," he replied. He was nearly done with the pile. "I noticed the supplements aren't in this pile. Is that a project you'll be working on alone?"

Audrey led him through the streets, trying to stay in alleys more than on the main roads. "So where did you stay before this?" she asked softly.

Loren walked over to the desk, "what am I looking at." He said as he walked

Dander shrugged, "here and there."

Greg nodded, "that...that could maybe work."

"No," Brit said. "The supplements are...not as important as other things so we'll work on them once these projects are compleated."

Liam zoomed the photos in. "We've got some citizens on the streets." Within the photos were three groups. Two men, a single woman, and a male and a female. "Just in case you'd like to pick them up."

Audrey nodded. She knew how that was. "Have you seen anyone else?"

"Oh," Nicholas was surprised. She'd seemed very interested in the project the day before.

Loren cocked his head to the side, "that one." He pointed at the single woman, "is there a better view of this one."

"ice seen union but not...anyone else really." He felt his stomach twist, "you?"

"Besides the guy I met yesterday and you, well no..." Audrey replied with a smile.

Liam typed something and the camera flipped, giving them a close up, face on view. "Better?"

"Yeah," she looked down for a minute then back at him. "So no questions?"

"No, they all seem pretty self explanatory," he replied. "I look forward to working on these with you," he smiled.

Brit smiled slightly. "Pick one of them and we'll get started."

He made it look random, but he chose the file that would be the least harmful to others. It was the antidote project. "How about this one?"

Brit scanned the file quickly, "okay. Start gathering what we need." She started making room on the table for the project. She pulled her hair up and grabbed a clean pair of gloves.

Nicholas did so, glad that he could at least steer away from the other projects for the moment.

"Work on this part of it," she said, giving him the easier part to do as she started working on the other part of the compound.

He agreed and carefully began constructing the section she'd pointed out. "Which projects do you like working on best?" he asked.

"The difficult ones," she said. She looked over at him. "Its more exciting that way."

"Yeah, I guess I could see that," he smiled. "It seems like you have a lot of those difficult projects going on."

Brit laughed. "If it was easy someone else would be doing it."

Nicholas laughed. "You really are the best we've got, aren't you?" he asked with a grin.

"That's what I've been told," she replied. "But I haven't met all the other scientist so I don't know for sure."

Nicholas found himself a little relieved at that. The idea of all of the scientists working together.. well he couldn't imagine what would come out of that room. "Neither have I. But I know Dr. Temple wasn't as smart as you."

"And that is one of the reasons Dr. Temple does not like me very much," Brit said. "But he is a very smart man."

"Absolutely," he agreed. "Very smart." Not smart enough to keep him from changing his formula, though.

"Make sure you follow those direction exactly," Brit said as she continued working.

"I am," he replied with a smile. He was paying very close attention to the directions, trying to remember it all so he could pass it on. The rebellion would need this antidote.

Brit watched him for a minute before returning to her work. "This may be the final variation of the compound."

Loren's heart stopped fot a second, "oh my god." He had seen her file. He had read her report and he had heard rumors. It looked like the rumors were true

"its strange isn't it, " xander began uncomfortable with the silence, "being in the muddle of a city and nor having anyone around?"


Tevon looked around the corner, " see that massive building. That's where we are going."

Nicholas glanced at her. "Really? I didn't realize the project was that far along."

"What?" Liam asked. "Who is she?" he didn't recognize her.

"Very strange," Audrey agreed. "But it feels like... like a different world than it used to," she added.

Graham nodded. "I wonder why they flagged it. It has to be important for some reason."

"The antidote is, but if the toxin is changed then this will have to be modified." Brit said. "It could be a never ending job."

"someone very...dangerous." he said hardly believing his eyes, "when was this taken?"

Tevon grinned, "yeah ave we will soon find out." Keeping to the shadows and off the main streets he headed for the building.

"its a very different world." He paused for a moment, " sometimes I wonder if the great war hadn't happened what life would be life?"

"A few minutes ago," Liam replied, typing a few more keys. "Here's a more recent one, taken a minute and a half ago."

Graham followed him across the street and then into the building. "It looks abandoned."

"I assume much different than this," Audrey replied with a sad smile. "At least, I'd hope so."

"That makes sense," Nicholas agreed. "You think the toxins will change much?"

"Possibly, but I dont know," she said. "It depends on what command wants them to do."

"Right," he agreed. Whatever command wanted. Well, command would want all of the rebellion wiped out and he couldn't let that happen.
