Fatal Experiment

"What shall it profit a man if he should gain the whole world and lose his own soul?"

November 19th, 2251. A day like everyday. At least that's what it should've been.

It was morning at Fort New Trinity. The sun had recently rose from it's nightly slumber. Though it was still Autumn throughout much of the Western Hemisphere, Winter had already made it's mark on the facility. Snow was still piled up on the ground from last night's weather. Soldiers were tasked that day to clear the road so that new shipments of materials for the laboratories could come in. Temperatures were around 20°F and were expected to go down lower by that night.

Two soldiers were shoveling the snow out of the entrance to the facility. Both of them groaned about how, despite the advancements of technology, they still had to shovel several feet of snow. There was also a sense of speculation about what the big experiment was going to be for later that evening.

"Gee, you think that since we live in 'the future' we wouldn't have to be shoveling all this damn snow." said one soldier.

"You think that's bad?" said the other soldier. "I should be blasting some alien scum on Frixion right about now. But instead we're having to train at a low down army barrack while guarding some stupid laboratory."

"Hey," the first soldier asked, "I wonder what that 'special presentation' is gonna be about?"

"Hmm..." the second soldier thought for a moment, "I think the scientists are gonna experiment on something and we get to watch!"

Meanwhile, several scientists of the Eclipse Medical and Health Services were setting up for the big experiment to happen later that night. Some were setting up machines while others were waiting patiently for the materials to arrive.

To be finished...
