Chapter 14: Zero to Infinity
“What the fuckettiy fucking shit fuck wank was that!?” Atasi thought to herself as she half sprinted down the hall to the locker rooms. Having her boss’s cyborg hands clamp down around her throat was not a feeling she ever wanted to repeat.
“Have to get out” She said out loud trying to keep up the pace without tripping. Maybe Dr. Frankenstein was insane. Some certainly thought she was. All the playing with corpses and assembling them with the purpose of transferring minds over? It was more than a little crazy if it hadn’t worked, but now things had taken a new turn of insane. Her boss was always intense, but now….
“She’s not like that” The thought slowed Atasi a bit. That was true. Of all the adjectives Atasi could use to describe Dr. Victoria Edwards: driven, brilliant, obsessed even. Never had ‘violent’ or ‘delusional’ entered into it. No. no. Dr Edwards knew exactly what she was doing at all times and had never lashed out with physical force before. Just now though in the office.
Atasi paused by her locker, “It was like she didn’t know where she was”. The Doctor had indeed seemed confused. Like she had grabbed Atasi’s neck without knowing she had done it at first, lie she had forgotten she was even in her office. Had the transfer been faulty? Was the digital brain just not good enough? and how long had it been screwy? the doctor had seemed off as early as during the examination of the…
Atasi decided to make one more stop before making her exit and took an elevator downstairs.
The Angel, or whatever it was, was still where they had left her. An industrial lifting arm had its digits tight around the naked body of the strange woman. Atasi took the googles off before she had to suppress another blush.
‘not gay, not gay, not gay’
She shook her head and took a breath. It wouldn’t do to have to deal with that reaction on top of everything else. The guards were bickering in the corner over something or other, still technically guarding the room but not interfering with her. She would have found that odd, but then again she was the doctor’s protégé of sorts, ‘Bride of Frankenstein’ as it were, given her boss’s nickname.
With the goggles off so she could only see an empty vice she knew contained the captive woman she decided to see if she could get any info.
“Who are you?”
The watcher made some faces knowing full well that Atasi couldn’t see her before responding, “I, am…
“You are what?”
“I watch… the c-city”
It was fairly obvious that the woman had a hard time talking for some reason. Was her restraint too tight?
“I mean your name”
“No.. Name. I don’t .. I don’t have one” The watcher’s voice was slowly getting clearer, she had spent time practicing before she had gotten caught, but it was still new to her so for right now she was, stretching before a run, but with her mouth.
“That’s hard to believe” Atasi said, “But not super important. I need you to tell me a few things”
“Like … what?”
“Did you do anything to my boss?”
“The Ro.bot?” The watcher shook her head, “I did not. What happened?”
“That’s none of your conce…”
“It IS my con…cern, Ata..si!” The watcher snapped, “This place is in…fec…ted ,and if I don’t stop it…”
“Infected? with what!? You’re the one who was creepily spying on me.”
The guards perked up Fox and Dingo ears satelliting around to the pair.
“Hey, you aren’t telling it anything, are you?” The dingo barked.
“No sorry, uh, Jamison” Atasi apologized, “I promise I’m not telling her anything”
The other guard was less concerned with protocol, “Its.. she’s…. I mean, you’re a scientist too right? She’s not an.. ACTUAL angel is she?”
“SAM” The one called Jamison snapped and gave his partner a bonk, “Knock it off with the angel stuff”
The pair dissolved back into their bickering and went back to not paying attention to Atasi letting her continue her conversation.
“So, what is this place ‘infected’ with?” Atasi asked
“De. mons”
“What the fuck!?” Atasi had not been expecting that. It did fit with the whole ‘angel’ motif, but seriously, ‘demons’?
“I’m not kid…ding Ata-si. I j…” The watcher started.
“You what?” Atasi snapped, “after spying and breaking in and everything else you say this place is infected with DEMONS and you seriously expect me to buy that?”
“What was that?” Sam was coming over, looking skittish.
“Sorry, just some nonsense” Atasi tried to brush it off.
“But what if its not?” Sam asked, “I know they’ve been talking about intruders and such but I’ve heard rumors and with the angel…”
“Sam I swear to god” The gruffer voice of Jamison chimed in, “We’re not in some bible passage, this is a laboratory.”
“I’m not lying”
“Shut up freakshow”
“Atasi” The watcher said, starting to get a grasp of her name better, while looking at the snow leopard girl, “Put the goggles on please”
Atasi paced for a moment while Sam and Jamison were back at it, then finally, “You better not be tricking me”
Once the goggles were back on, the watcher continued, “Please, lis-en. I’m not lying. This is get-ting bad, but I CAN help. Please just… Just get me out of this and get me my tool back, please”
Atasi had to admit that the strange woman did seem serious, now that the goggles were back on she could see the look in her eyes, she looked scared more than anything, “but.. I don’t… I don’t have access and… you… you were my stalker and…”
“I’m sorry about that. Really I am. I prom-ise I can ess.pl.. exss.. EX-PL, AIN. GAH stupid tongue! I can ex…plain later, please.”
“Absolutely not” Jamison clamped a hand down on Atasi’s shoulder, “Ma’am, I may be the only one here still doing my job, but I’m damn well going to do it, and no one is letting the, whatever she is, go without the boss’s say so! get me?”
“Bro, this is getting nuts even you can tell that” Sam cut in, “You know strange things are going on in this place”
“Don’t matter”
“Look,.. damn, just let me go ask..ok” Sam pleaded, starting for the door, “I just really think we need to be om top of this, all this”
“Fine go” Jamison turned to Atasi, “But no touching anything till we get word form the boss”
“I.. I’m not sure that’s a great idea” Atasi said nervously, drawing both Jamison and the watcher’s attention.
“why?”
“She… she’s not acting normal its… its hard to explain but its why im here, I guess I was hoping that she” Atasi nodded at the watcher, “would shed some light on the intrusions we’ve had without going to demons”
Before the watcher could formulate a proper response a shriek of fear came carrying in form the hall.
“What the fuck?” Jamison asked, “Sam that you?”
“ZOMBIES” the voice continued.
“Sam a swear to fuck if you…” Jamison was looking furiously mid rant as he stormed towards the door dragging Atasi behind him. whether to throw her out or just to make sure she wasn’t’ alone with the prisoner, it mattered little since once both of them were in the hall they got a good look at what had Sam so worked up.
“WHAT THE FUCK, WHAT THE FUCK!!” The fox boy was screaming and punching at a torso that was grabbing at him. It had one of the prototype cyber-craniums as a head, one arm and no legs but was definitely moving, and biting, of its own accord.
Jamison took two steps closer and punted it away, the thing bounced around down the hall landing among what looked suspiciously like a small crowd of shambling corpses, is various states of disassembly, all of which had at least part of their heads replaced with cyberware and all were heading their way. “Oh Fuck this, Get back in the lab snow ball!” He ordered, “Sam get up”
“But.. what do I.. z-z-z-ombies”
“Just shoot the bastards!”
Atasi dove back into the room covering her ears to block out the sound of the shots behind her. Incredibly loud reports from the hallway preceded the boys falling back into the room and Jamison slamming and locking the door, while Sam fell tot eh floor gripping his bleeding leg.
“Oh god oh god it bit me” Sam whimpered, “I’m gunna turn into a zombie now!!”
“Get a grip!” Jamison shouted.
“What happened?” Atasi asked.
“Do you be-lieve me now!” The watcher added with a growl.
“Zombie’s ain’t demons” Jamison barked.
“You’ve got to be kidding me!” Sam
“Shut up”
“Calm down”
“Fuck you”
“no FUCK YOU!!”
The foursome were losing track of who was even shouting at who and about what when the scratching and banging at the door started.
“Fuck” Jamison swore, “Ok we need help now”
“I finally agree with you” Both the boys pulled out their walkies, then their phones, the looks on their faces said it all. Atasi knew there was little point, but checking her phone too confirmed the lack of any signal.
“Ok here’s the plan” Jamison declared. “I will go out the other door and look for help. Sam you keep the girl safe, and any nonsense you do with the ‘angel’ is on your heads”
“So I have to wait here with bloodthirsty zombies behind the door”
“Would you rather go out there WITH them?”
“No sir”
“Good”
“but..”
“GOOD LORD WHAT IS IT NOW?”
“I got bit, what if I… you know... change?” Sam whimpered.
“This is not a god damned movie”
“Its NOT?! There’s an angel and zombies.” Sam was near hysterics, “It might be a BAD movie, but its about as ‘movie’ as it bloody well gets.”
“I don’t think it works like that” The watcher chimed in drawing the attention of all three.
“There see” Jamison said with a hint of triumph, “You lot wanna believe the ‘angel’? great, she says you aren’t gunna turn so shut it and watch snowball” After concluding his speech Jamison stormed off towards the other door to the lab and, with only a moment of hesitation, opened the door and was gone.
Atasi would normally have resisted being called ‘snowball’ but now didn’t really seem like the time. So she just knelt down to help Sam up. Easing the wounded guard into a chair to rest she sat down herself, desperately rubbing her hands to stop them from shaking. Eventually resorting to literally slapping herself to try to remain focused.
This day went from zero too fucking infinity way too fast. All she wanted was to catch her invisible stalker and go back to normal, but now her boss was a cyborg, then went nuts and tried to strangle her; there was a kidnaped angel in a lab, a HOT, not to mention naked, kidnapped angel in a lab; and now the zombie apocalypse was upon us, and her only protection was an injured man who may or may not be infected with the zombie plague. Oh ya. there was one other thing.
“You two going to let me down any time soon?”
