Eyes watched as the large unsettling bald man that was there superior showed his newest acquisition around the building. They went too and fro to all the main rooms and offices. Some people would greet Miss Bryant as she passed along in a very quick and professional manner. She did admit to herself at least they were cordial in this sector.
A young man seemingly to be in his early twenties with shoulder length brown hair almost tripped as he headed there way. Mr Kain seemed to stare holes in him and frowned. " This isn't a zoo. Show some patience and choose your actions wisely ." Mr. Kain directed straight to the man. The man was in a suit that seemed a little too big for him. " I apologize, sir. I was just curious about the new partner here. I promise to be more careful" he said with a bit of a gulp.
Miss Bryant smiled at the man warmly " It's quite alright. I enjoy the curious wonder. I would want to know who was joining the big wigs too if I were in his place." A thorough look over and Mr Kain seemed satisfied at the moment . " This is Miss Bryant . She is on the board . Now get back to your work ." He said without missing a beat and ushering the beautiful crimson haired woman along.
Chatter was coming from everywhere as it would when something of this magnitude was going on. Switching the guard especially for someone so important in the echelon was a very major change. Most of the workers were in either a panic or excited to see what was going to happen since Mayhew's replacement had come in so quickly. The inside of the building was more animated than it had been in some years.
Finally coming to a room in a far off corner , Mr Kain sighed in relief. Pushing the door wide he gestured for Miss Bryant to go into the room and followed behind her. Two guards stood in the room and bowed to them as they shut the door . Mr Kain simply walked to an antique sculpture of a dragon on a shelf filled with ornate decor . Pushing his hand passed it he ran his hand along the wall behind it. A loud gear wrenching send was heard as the wall in the back seemed to part to reveal a secret elevator.
Three of the individuals in the room stepped inside it as the lone guard shut the elevator and stayed in the office room. A whooshing noise could be heard as the elevator quickly dropped multiple floors. " This is the part I'm assuming you have been really wanting to see." Mr Kain said with a very dark and eerie grin on his face. Miss Bryant held that grin to memory as it was probably the most frightening smile she had ever seen and simply nodded mustering up her own smile in return.
Elevator doors wretched open to reveal a giant cavernous space under the entire building. Filled with catacombs as well as a few workers even down here at their own specialized tables in lab coats. This was the biggest cave area she had seen in quite some time and was actually impressed by it. Popping noises could be heard as they walked on and Mr Kain began shifting and removed his clothing. Soon he stood many stories high and on four legs. Scaled ripped out of his skin and a long snake like tail protruded behind him. " Much better " the creature said in a low almost humming voice. " Now I don't have to pretend to be so weak"
Miss Bryant's clothes followed as she herself began to shift into her native form. A dark dragon with a bright crimson belly and spikes along her spine and tail that resembled fire. " Yes" she simply stated " I much prefer my own hide " looking around more as they lumbered on. " I am really fascinated by everything here so far. Looks like you have quite the set up." The larger dark green skinned dragon spoke up " You haven't seen anything yet".
Turning through a series of tunnels the two dragons came into an even bigger expanse filled with giant black eggs on conver belts of sorts and monitors of all kinds. Sigils lit up the floor and fire danced along the walls in an odd display of magical lighting. The eggs went through a process it seemed from one odd looking machine to the next all the while being looked over by mystics who were doing some strange obscene rituals. " What in Python's name is going on in here " the red dragon bursted out.
Fangs and a light forked tongue flared as the larger dragon spoke. " This is where we are preparing our dragon army. Perfect vessels that will follow orders and are made stronger through Magic and human genetic engineering. That is where you come in. Your aptitudes in the spiritual and science arts will only help advance this process. " Wide eyes at all the blasphemy going on under one simple giant seeming building . " Does the queen know about this. " She asked plainly as she could trying not to convey her utter hatred and contempt at the sight before her eyes. That dark grin of course was even more pronounced from a deadly dragon . " Of course she does. It was her idea after all. Sisphaera and a few others figured out the possibilities of it and the queen ordered for it right away. You are to be handed the old notes of hers and see if you can replicate it and improve upon it with your own knowledge. ". All the former Miss Bryant could do was question her sanity and what exactly she had gotten herself into.
