Chapter 6

"Sir, we have just discovered the whereabouts of Julia Anderson, and Nicholas McIntosh." A young Marine Lieutenant said.

            "Very good Lieutenant, proceed on duty. Doctor Coaster, is it ready?" The Marine General asked.

            "Of course, it is ready and loaded. We will set coordinates on their position right away. How is the spy cooperating sir?" Dr. Coaster smiled.

            "The spy is following orders as expected. Both of them will bring back my subjects, and if not doctor, then it will be on your fault for this worthless experiment. I still don't see why you want those two so badly." the General sighed. Dim lights lit the metal hallway that the three walked through. Stopping up to two large metal doors, the doctor placed his hand on a platform, which quickly lit up to read his handprint. Confirming it, they both walked into a room with only a few people. Most of them were test subjects, chained to the wall by their necks as a scientist or two shot a chemical into their arms to see how they would react.

            A young female, about the age of seventeen stood in silence as the scientist pricked a needle in her arm to squeeze a dark thick purple liquid into her.

            "What is that chemical doctor?" the General asked.

            "This is our new product that we are working on sir. Not only does it prevent the venom of a Cadaverous' bite, but it works the camera that we have placed into their brain by making them like a droid. To cooperate with us, and perhaps be stronger than an Ineffable. It's what we used on the experiment that we are sending out. But with him, we placed a small chip into his neck to let us know where he is. The camera is to see what is going on as well. It's what we have been trying to figure out for years. We only use it on the best survivors there is. Sadly, though, our test subject back at the hidden base, did not react with the chemical well, and turned into an Ineffable while the base was ambushed by those monsters, because of Julia." Doctor Coaster explained.

            "Ah, young Julia; I fancy her, I really do. She has been through torment and yet still fights for her life, but what is she aiming for? And if it wasn't for your stupid scientists back at the base, she would already be in our hands!" the General growled.

            "Of course sir, but even if we had put in the chemical into her body like we did once before, who knows how she could've reacted to it. The results would not have been satisfying sir. Now this, this is what I call the Detriment. This is the test subject that has made a full completion and success in the experiment, and will be set out very quickly to retrieve Julia and Nicholas." Doctor Coaster smiled. The three men walked into the lonely room, with a man in his late thirties lying on a cold metal table. He wore a pair of black leather jeans, a black see-through shirt, and black finger-less gloves. His brown military boots matched the dark brown trench coat that covered his arms warningly.

            "And he will obey our orders?" the General asked.

            "Of course, just watch. Detriment, awaken." the doctor ordered. The man's eyes opened, and he sat up slowly with no answer. "Now, find Julia Marie Anderson in the small targeted town. Bring her back alive, along with the young spy."

            "Yes sir, I will follow orders as instructed." the Detriment said.

            "Very good doctor, just know that if this fails, it’s on you." the General smirked.

            "Of course sir, rest assured, for this mission will surely be successful."
