Alex walked over to a station and began finishing up. It wasn't going to take long anyway.

”I have to admit, Dr. Sean got the best of the supplies for whatever project he wants us to work on.” Hannah addressed the others in the lab. Normally, she would be fine keeping to herself but that was when she knew the environment and what was expected of her.

"I agree." Aelia said to Hannah. "Dr. Sean must have something really big planned for us." Her eyes fell onto her own station in the lab. "Although I still don't understand why we, of all people, were chosen. It's just such an odd group of people." she thought out loud. She grabbed her files and put it down near her station, intending to get to work. It felt strange, and there was something off, but Aelia couldn't seem to put her finger on it.

Just then a large screen appeared with Dr. Sean's face. He looked very tired and had his head in his hands. Very suddenly, he jerked up, as if someone mentioned that he was being recorded because a hand came up to fix his hair while a warm smiled appeared on his face. "Welcome. This is simply a recording from Oct 13, 2237 to alert the new lab techs the reason I have chosen a mismatched group such as yours. The people who are most likely to be watching this recording are as follows." He said, naming every person that was in the room. "You are healers, interns, caretakers, and lab techs with strong bonds with young dragons. As interns you have picked up the tiniest details of how things worked at the lab. You have learned how each person wants their things to be as well as where even the smallest item is put. You are vital to this operation because you have great memories, pay great attention to details, and have a positive attitude most of the times that encourages others. As healers you have memorized the anatomy of a dragon as well as other creatures similar to them. You have, with great precision, made every broken or hurt dragon exactly as new without being asked. You are here for your skills in Dragon care, you tricks of how to fix things, and your vast understanding of the anatomical parts of an unmade dragon. As lab techs you are the ones who, with years of practise, managed to come work at one of the finest genetic engineering establishments in this country. You are hear because of your skill in genetics and your amazing ability to bond with all young dragons." Dr. Sean paused and took a sip of his water before smiling. "For this assignment to work, I need each and every single one of you to imprint on that Dragonling. That small beast you will develop requires extreme care. We have all seen the movies about genetic engineering and how things went wrong, we have to learn from their mistakes and make it better. We are counting on you." He said, nit smiling in the end. He pressed a button and the screen faded to black, the logo of the Genetics lab revolving around on the screen.

Alex watched the screen before putting the last notation on her report. She had a slight frown on, "Well that wasn't ominous at all."

Roscoe nodded. "Way too much information and even more expectations." He frowned

"Well what else were we to expect?" Alex said miving towards Roscoe, "Flowers and fun times?"

Hannah gave a small laugh. ”Of course not, but as mysterious as this whole thing is; it’s nice to receive some recognition and to see our boss act like an actual human instead of an omnipresent overseer.”

"Honestly, when have we ever gotten any real information from Ez Corp anyway? Dr. Sean's just the messenger. They really like being mysterious and elusive." Aelia commented.

Roscoe nodded in agreement. "It seems as though they dknt want anyone to copy 'their' ideas even we are the hardworkers." He grumbled

Hannah shrugged. ”That’s corporations for you; all the glory, none of the work.” she grumped slightly. ”I guess that's not that important right now. So, may I see this new experiment you are working on? If this is the base work for our ”project” I would like to make sure it's healthy.”

Alex gave a little nod, "Yeah, also I don't see why not. Unexpected specimen creation is what we've got going on here. Note the word unexpected."

Just then a man dressed in a very fashionable suit stepped out of the elevator, fixing his tie. "I assume Sean has braided you on the matter. Here are the plans for the new thing." He said in a very crisp voice. "Get to work immediately." He growled.

Alex rolled her eyes at the new guy's attitude. She walked over to check out the files, "Maybe not call a groundbreaking scientific technology and project a 'thing' and we'll get to work even faster."

The male smiled and then rolled his eyes "get to work." He said and walked back to the elevator, fixing his tie as the door shut.

"What an asshole." Roscoe said incredulously.

”I agree with both of you.” Hannah nodded as she looked over the files the man had brought them. ”I honestly expected them to ask us to make a new breed of dragons.” she said with mild exasperation.

Roscoe did a double take on the designs and gaped. "Is this… the actual design for this monster?!" He yelled in surprise. The beast in question was described to be about 7ft tall as a hatchling. It was able to use most of the know dragon elements including a new one, poison, that was very helpfully named DragonFire.

Alex looked over the design in horror, "I think it is. This, this is basically Godzilla, right? I'm not messing anything up. They want us to make an actual Godzilla in dragon form."

"I-I cant be a part of this. I cannot create a creature like this!! It will be used to annihilate everything!" He said, panicking

Alex glanced up at Roscoe and reached out towards him, "Hey, Hey. It'll be fine. We can't even make what they're asking for yet, we'll need to start slow got it?"

Roscoe was about to respond when suddenly, from behind him, a crash was heard. He looked behind him to see that the beaker in which his experiment was staying in had shatter and a.small pink thing was wriggling on the now wet and glass filled table. "Alex, look!" He breathed

Alex quickly turned her head and saw the little specimen on the table. She rushed over to look at it and went to get gloves, "This is highly unusual. We need to get it into a bigger container."

Hannah was still more than a bit stunned by the demands outlined in the files. ”I’m a vet, not a miracle worker. 7ft. as a hatchling! That's impossible. It wouldn't be able to annihilate anything. It wouldn't even survive past infancy… If we were successful. There is no way an infant of any species could support itself.” she ranted for a moment.

Aelia listened to Hannah, but her attention diverted when she heard Roscoe and Alex shout. She ran to the specimen on the table while Alex ran for gloves. "Alex, hurry! We don't know anything about this one and we can't afford to lose progress or this life!" she said. The specimen struggled as it moved and wriggled onto glass before letting out a shriek of anguish.
