[R]: "It seems he's waking up! Wakey, wakey!"

[G]: "Too much noise. Wake me up tomorrow!" George said that as he was still in a mood to sleep after that.

[R]: "If you are not going to wake up, I'm going to throw that flower from earlier on you, again!"

[G]: "Flower? What flower?"

[R]: "You are not awake enough to remember! Uh… that one from when you came in here, in this facility. Duh! And then the first thing you did was fainting like a girl!"

[G]: "Eh? Hold that though, I'm waking up right now!"

[R]: "You are so toyable!"

[G]: "Stop messing around, it's not funny!"

[R]: "For you, maybe. For me, it is. Anyway, the test we were doing was somehow successful, but it's still lacking in results. And we have good and bad news!"

[G]: "Let me guess, I'm not in control yet and still weak?"

[R]: "Good, then there is no news left to tell."

[G]: "Ok, let me ask you something. Didn't you say that there were no dangers in this place right? Then tell me what the heck happened earlier!"

[R]: "I don't know! There were no issues when we tested it. Although we were surprised when you tried it. You indeed hurt that plant, it's still alive and kicking, and we suspect you might be the key in finding that out."

[J]: "Didn't you forget something?"

[G]: "Who's that?"

[R]: "A colleague of mine! And you are right, I almost forgot. You seem to heal faster. Did you know about this?"

[G]: "Some way or another. It happened once while I was cooking."

[R]: "Didn't I tell you to announce me the first time when you find out something new? That could save Alex and the others."

[G]: "I'm not really sure, how that could help, and I didn't find that super revolutionary."

[R]: "How so? It improves the phenomenon of healing."

[G]: "Because it makes it worse… before it makes it better! It burns the total affected area, and you don't want someone weak to feel that on a larger scale."

[R]: "Alright! Then, that's all. We can have you in that relaxation area. If there's anything left out, we will call you in, but I don't think it will be needed."

[G]: "Finally! I needed break from all of that!"

George left with one bodyguard who knew the place and guided him.

[J]: "Shouldn't you have told him about the blood sample you took without his knowledge?"

[R]: "Nah! I don't think he will notice. Plus, he already left. It's too late to ask now."

George was not even seen anymore by the two female workers. He was thinking on what to do next.

{G}: 'Maybe there is a pool right here. Or a spa, or a masseur might be something good. The backpain is starting to be a bother for some time now, I guess I could enjoy a little time of peace.' He said to himself as he was not able to hold it anymore.

[G]: "So, big guy, what would you recommend? You know you can share your opinions between men."

[B]: "…"

[G]: "Nothing? I guess you are not the talking type."

[B]: "…"

The place where George was able to relax was full of amenities and he could enjoy for himself. Like a bowling area, another area was with playing cards in which you could play with anyone known in the world, past and present, table football, some electric chairs you find in malls, a small football area in which other games could be played like handball, tennis, and a basket court, even if he doesn't like basketball. Another one was contained a sauna and a jacuzzi and of course a masseuse. The first thing he wanted to do was relax in a jacuzzi. George never had the change to do it and really wanted to feel like the rich. I guess anyone would try out first the jacuzzi if presented with the opportunity.

[G]: "It doesn't feel so bad for the first time. I guess now I know how it feels to be rich even if I am not."

{G}: 'I want to see how a masseuse can… massage me! It gives me chills in the air just thinking about it.'

Five minutes later during the massage, George was feeling very happy. But then as George was very calm during the massage, a small explosion could be heard. The shock could be heard from miles away and it was from Rowena and from her little experiments. She tried to take a sample from that plant what was in contact with George. The plant she was extracting the sample started to be out of control and everyone was rushing in to salvage everything they could and put a stop to the craziness.

As George didn't know at that time, the plant Rowena was toying with started to get stronger and stronger thanks to the properties of light and the encounter with George. As they couldn't hold it back, the bodyguards, whose job was guarding the outside, started to go in as they were called in one by one, and then an alarm started to break out. Along the alarm, there were preconceived phrases you could hear like there was an incident happening in the laboratory. In this panic, George took his clothes and ran as he didn't know what was happening and he had no clue, other than the explosion, the alarm, and the guards what were called in.

{G}: 'Are they being attacked or is it a failed experiment? I don't know, but I think I should do something.'

He didn't have though this over too much, he just did it out of instinct. Then George stopped and a thought crossed his mind.

[G]: "Also, where the fuck am I going? I need a map to explore this huge building. Didn't Rowena mention something like I am into a high-tech building? Won't there be some ways to stop me? It's so hard to find useful places when you are not with someone of this building. I'm not even finding places where it says, "Unrestricted area or access". It just feels like I'm running in circles."

And indeed, George was walking in circles. He didn't know, but one of the security protocols they had installed in was the moving rooms and their purpose was distracting anyone who'd try to breach in, they won't ever find the entrance, unless they are with someone with access, or they have permitted access.

He feels a not a friendly presence, like he feels like he was stabbed, but not really. It was only the feeling that something not great is coming closer. Something like a attack comes an attack is coming towards George. The defense system, almost non-existent as this moment, manages to protect him.

[???]: "Tsss! I failed the surprise attack… So, we finally we met!

And then he straight throws something sharp towards on George. He manages to escape from that attack, but he's still surprised.

[???]: "Oh, you managed to not to get hit in time!"

[G]: "What's the deal with you. And where the heck are the soldiers and the defense system? They should be having one.

[???]: "That thing, it was so easy to tear it down. And don't worry they won't be bothering us for some time."

[G]: "What's the deal with you? I never met you.

[???]: "I'm the great, great, great…"

[G]: "Didn't I hear this somewhere else? Mhmm? (Trying to remember, but then he forgot he shouldn't do that right now) Now it's not to think about that. (That unknown guy kept on talking, and George was talking over him, but he didn't notice thanks to how George quietly speaks.)

[???]: "Great, great, great lost king.

And then he proceeds to fire another shot towards George.
