<strong>Alta Riley -2nd Level in The Science Lab</strong><br/><br/>Alta continued to organize her notes and findings and then moved over to a different station to begin entering it all onto the computer. It wasn't enough to just have it written down and copied. Of course this made it easier to transfer from one department to another and you never had to worry about papers getting lost but something about having a hard copy as opposed to just digital made her feel better. Her father was the same way and she figured she picked it up from him. Her fingers clicked away at the keyboard letting herself get further into her zone. Her ability to focus on mundane tasks well, astounded others and herself. She could do this all day but she did crave more excitement from time to time.<br/><br/>Within minutes of that thought, and in mid sentence as she typed she heard a low rumble and then the alarm go off. Her head shot up from her computer and she immediately saved what she had entered so far and immediately panicked. Something had compromised the vault's integrity and she started to blame herself. Should she have caught the problem? Had their been a problem? She looked at her papers again and realized it couldn't have been the vault, someone had to have DONE this, from the outside. She couldn't test the outside of the vault obviously, and she knew her numbers were correct. Someone or something had busted the door and from the sounds of it, they/it were coming in. Alta ran into the other part of the lab looking for her father who she quickly in one word tried to justify she had no idea this would happen and if he knew and what was going on. Her father quickly in a reassuring voice convinced her to breath and that he would figure out what to do and then return. And in the mean time she needed to make sure that the computer terminals (the ones in the lab at least) were off and locked so that no one would easily be able to access information that wasn't supposed to, like outsiders.<br/><br/>He made sure she had her knife with her and she nodded. And with that he kissed her forehead and was off with a few other senior scientists. The tall woman was told to lock the doors behind them and stay there with the few other lab workers she was with and she nodded and stood there. One of the other men, Neil heard the same thing and quickly locked the doors behind them and she went to her computer shutting it down and locking it. She looked around at the others and checked her pockets in the coat and jump suit finding all of her belongings where they should be. Alta sat there in silence not knowing what to do or say. Just listening to the alarm and her father's instructions. She was worried, but kept her cool... for the most part.
