Kyper Files V2 006

I noticed after about 15 minutes of looking I hadn’t seen Kyper anywhere. The last time this lab had a containment failure he was in the middle of it. I frowned and headed for the lab. I really didn’t want to think about what they’d lost this time. I ran back over what AIDE had said. ‘Low-grade dangerous, non-venomous.’ Vague. Very vague. I needed answers.

I turned and headed down the hall to the animal lab.

"AIDE exactly what escaped?”

"Exact creature designation is currently unknown. Only information available is low-grade threat and non-venomous,” AIDE answered.

"Where is Kyper?”

"Fauna Kyper’s location is unknown at this time. Presumed hiding.”

"Great,” I muttered, reaching the lab.

“Please be aware, fauna displacement has occurred. Designation: low-grade dangerous, non-venomous,” AIDE stated as I got near the closed lab.

"How did it escape? I closed that lab until they had proper containment facilities,” I said irritably.

"Deputy Alistair Graves opened the lab. He said that there was no known protocol for continued closure.”

"Shut it back down. Insert protocol; lack of containment. Decision lab is closed until proper containment exists. Lab will not be opened again until head of security, myself, says otherwise. And find that creature,” I demanded.

"Authority acknowledged Alexia Hale. Protocol inserted. Lab is now marked closed until further notice.”

“Has he reopened Lab 20?" I asked.

“Lab 20 is closed until further notice as well. Only operable under surveillance and authority of Alexia Hale.”

"Good. Find the creature, I’ll see what I can spot,” I said, began my patrol again, only this time looking for a non-venomous creature.

I was doing a patrol of the labs when Kyper streaked past me with a bit of silver in his mouth and a labcoat on his heels. I shook my head and continued my patrol. I passed the next lab as Alistair walked up to me.

“Ms. Hale, what is Dry Rain?" he asked stiffly.

“I don’t know some mess of eons or something that mesh together and cause static issues," I said offhandedly.

“Why isn’t the memo for it more serious?" 

“Because until Kyper starts going nuts, there is no need to worry," I explained.

“The cat?" he asked skeptically.

“Yes. The cat. You will see," I said with a shrug. He gave me a hmph sound and left. I continued on my way, yet again.

"Dry rain warning, 05 days til impact.”

"Impact?” I asked AIDE.

"Impact Alexia Hale,” AIDE insisted. The tone wasn’t defiant but I could almost sense it.

"Right. Protocol progress?” I asked.

"Protocals are now 30 percent complete, including updated protocols for Dry Rain."

“Ah huh. I didn’t authorize any updated protocols." 

“Deputy Alistair Graves has." 

“Define protocols," I said rolling my eyes.

“Full shut down of every facility." 

“Override. Only shut down labs that center on electronic research," I said rubbing my temples.

“But the deputy…" 

“Is not in charge, I still have the authority to override him." 

“Understood Alexia Hale."
