Chapter 13 - Quarantine Protocol

Beliz grabbed his tablet and tapped on in furiously. What they hell could have happened to cause an emergency protocol to happen? The research team has followed every safety procedure when handling the infection.

"What the hell caused this?!" Beliz sent to his secretary. When there was an emergency all of the staff is to immediately report. When he used his tablet he was barraged by massive amounts of messages from all of his staff saying that they had no contact with the infection and that they followed every procedure.

Beliz took this with a grain of salt. Naturally, no one wanted to have the blame put on them for this and saw that some of the messages put the blame on the coworkers. "Childish," He thought to himself. This happens the exact moment when the general comes over, for permeant residence none the less. This will look horribly on his record and could even be replaced if he doesn't solve this immediately.

While Beliz typing fervently on his tablet to find a solution to this situation he glanced over to see the two people sitting on his couch.

He creaked a small smile on his face toward Rad and Private Ajax, "My apologies General," He said quietly barely being over heard by the loud sirens.

Filled with frustration from the possibility of being perceived as incompetent and the loud blaring sirens filling the facility his breathe turned ragged and hoarse. He began tapping on his tablet so hard audibly tapping could be heard.

A few moments all of the alarms shut off and Beliz let out a loud sigh of relief. The door all throughout the facility were still locked shut. During the entire fiasco Rad and Ajax sat still in their seat. They were surprised that something like this happened when they got there but both knew that they couldn't do anything to help so they just sat there not moving.

"Head Researcher Beliz," Rad said in a calm and firm voice from his seat, "What is the problem?" Many thoughts went through his head, he sensed disappointment in the generals voice, anger even. Such thoughts clouded his mind as he scoured his messages.

Once he got his message back from his secretary he took a quick breath of air in and held it. Once he saw it he had one thought in his head, "Incompetence"

"One of the maintenance crew failed to follow proper procedure when cleaning out the testing room resulting in him getting infected," He said to the general.

"Whelp, what can you do," He said throwing his hands in the air. Rad didn't care what happened, this was the most exciting thing to happen to him since he first enrolled. Ajax on the other hand was having a panic attack inside himself.

"What are you going to do to 'solve' it?" He asked Beliz with a smile. Beliz was confused when he saw the general's reaction to the situation, he thought he was going to get chewed out by the general and be threatened with being replaced. "Well we are going to keep him in a separate room, away from the general population and observe how the infection affect his body. If he dies in the process then we will do an autopsy. Either way the facility will benefit and get data."

"Then get on cracking on it!" He said joyously with a smile. He turned towards his son bubbling with excitement. Ajax, still panicking, look at his father in fear.

After two hours of being locked in the office together all of the doors throughout the facility sprung open. Soon after an announcement was made over the PA.

"Emergency Quarantine Protocol is lifted!"

Beliz let out an loud sigh of relief and felt his knees give out a little bit. "My apologies General," He said with his head down.

Rad got up from his seat and walked over to Beliz. Beliz held his breathe in anticipation.

"It's Rad, Beliz" Rad said comforting him as he touched his shoulder. "Now that this 'event' is over, how about a tour of the facility? We get to know more about the facility and you get to take a walk to relax from this, stressful situation."

When Ajax heard this from his father his ears perked up and his mood was lifted from his panic. He immediately got up from his seat and rushed to his father's side. He, like his father was overflowing with excitement.

"Does this mean we get to see Titania?" Ajax asked bouncing alongside his father with a smile on his formerly frowning face.
