Chapter 151: Milo Stanfield
Striding in high heels through the bright, pristine corridors of Elysium's HQ was none other than Dr. Kapoor.
The space was designed to reflect a cold, clinical aesthetic that matched the corporation's ambitions. Walls of glass adorned with the latest technological displays framed her path.
Her mind was firmly focused on the task ahead.
As she approached a large door labeled "Enclave Mk. II," the mechanism detected her presence and slid open with a hiss. She stepped inside.
The center of the room was dominated by seven white vertical pods, each encased in machinery. Monitors lined the walls, displaying data and fluctuating waveforms that reflected the states of the subjects contained within.
Around the pods, scientists in lab coats hovered over their computers, typing furiously and adjusting various dials. Beeping machines lent a soundtrack to the scene, amplifying the intensity of their work.
Dr. Kapoor walked along the second-floor railing, surveying her team with a keen eye.
Suddenly, a plastic water bottle clattered to the ground and drew her attention. It rolled beneath one of the pods, disrupting the cadence of the lab. She turned sharply, rage flaring in her chest as she caught sight of one of her subordinate scientists fumbling to scoop up the fallen container.
"You clumsy fool!" she barked.
The scientist froze, and colour drained from her face.
"Do you have any idea how crucial this experiment is? Do you think it's acceptable to let a water bottle roll around as if you're in some kind of playpen? One more incident like that, and you'll be facing the strictest disciplinary measures!"
