[Pinky]{Carmack's lab is isolated from the rest of the facility. the airlock is the only way in or out.}~give a once over to the schematic displayed on the monitor,Sarge gives his order~[Sarge]{Goat, Portman; genetic.

kid, duke; Carmack's office where the he sent a mayday from. Reaper, keep Dr.Grimm here safe on here salvage job.Destroyer and I will take the weapons lab,make sure all the the hardware's secure.Be safe, gentlemen.} ~as the Sarge end off with his commands warn to be on guard, john

[John]{My molecular genetics is a little rusty.}

[Samantha]{What's is the first thing dad taught us to look for?}

~look at the the screen he see the genome base gaid identifier compare the two strand of DNA and says~

[John]{She's got 24 pairs of chromosomes.}

[Samantha]{Humans only have 23.}

[John]{So, what does the extra pair do}

[Samantha]{Makes her superhuman.Extra pair makes her super strong, super-fit, super-intelligent.Her cells divide 50 times faster,meaning she heals almost instantly.Fossil record indicates these people had conquered disease.We found no genetic disorder, no viruses, no cancers.}

-(loud beeping)-

~ walk of to where lucy is to collect some samples from over there as she finish what she was say while john lean a get the glass container to relief some of the pain that starter to increase rapidly as his headache continues with the pain he feels in the center of his stomach feeling like his side might give way he asks~

[John]{So what, They were just naturally superior?

[Samantha]{No, not really.See, the earliest remains we found only had 23.We suspect this extra chromosome maybe synthetic.}

[John]{Bioengineer}

~mock john for use a big word as types in the the data info a download the files~

[Samantha]{That's a long word for marine.Does it ever bother you could of spent your life look in a microscope instead of your sniper scope?}

[Duke]{I don't do nano-walls} [Samantha]{Yes, you do.}

~Looking a bit dissatisfied Duke makes his way through the nano-wall and checks surrounding area making sure it's clear before signaling it's good let them come-forth And prepping up Dr.Carmack to get first-aid and shutting the nano-wall, Duke with little assistance from Dr.Jenna"who came to provide medical attention" as he lay Dr.Carmack on a Operating cot as he counted to so they be *INSYNC* when lift him~

[John]{Looks like we missed the party.}

[Goat]{We were just here! ~little shock at the lab, He previously marked off~What happened to all the animals?}

~Looking through the Ramage room only to see the leftover remains of the animals that once were in the room ripped and teared to pieces and scattered throughout the room only leaving the gutted intestines showing or even recognizable.

-(*deep haze breathing*)-

Looking over to the sound only to see a lab coat what seems to be a man hunched over a cage not knowing what to think at this Confusing sight he tries to lower his gun down but get the ablaze feel of danger and step back rise his gun at his head whilst still say~

[John]{Sir, we're RRTS we're here to help.Sir, are you okay?okay.}

[Sarge]{get in the goddamn hole Portman.}

~as every one make their way down the hole to Continue to search whatever it was that was running~

—————— With Samantha ——————
