Victor walked through the clean halls of the research institute.  The only sounds heard were the crisp sound of his shoes connecting with the floor as he walked and the soft hum of the ventilation system.  It was clean, painfully clean in here.  It was as though walking through some corridor of a forgotten alien artifact in some sci-fi movie.  Perhaps the spotless scenery was a means to make sure inmates got lost in the labyrinth should they escape their cells.  He wouldn’t doubt it if that were the case.  Without a map, meaningful signs, or landmarks, it was easy to lose one’s self in the hellish maze of white uniformity.  Perhaps it was more like a military base than some surreal structure.  Quiet, solid, secure.  Whatever it was, it was not a welcoming place.<br/><br/>The nurse stopped at a door to one of the labs and pulled out his identification card and flashed it by the sensor near the key pad.  LED lights lit up the number pad it some random configuration on the key pad.  The nurse punched in his identification code and the lock clicked on the door.  Victor turned the doorknob, pulled open the door, and entered.  It was another lab designed for the various experimentations done in the labs.  The equipment mirrored most the other testing equipment found in other labs except for a few specialized instruments for the various test subjects.<br/><br/>The nurse spotted the man he was looking for.  He crossed the room, dodging various pieces of equipment on the way to the man.  “Pardon, Dr. Doe. I have a report from the R&D department.  They asked me to deliver this to you since I was heading this way.  They thought you might find it useful.”  He explained, handing the brown envelope of materials to the doctor.  Victor didn’t know what was inside since the envelope was sealed beforehand, so he wasn’t able to provide any more information than that.
