CHAPTER 4

AWAKENING

1

There were several emergency protocols created during the long initial phase of Project R.N.G. to protect research data and essential staff in situations of crisis, like the one happening now. Here, all rooms, corridors and laboratories in the facility can be sealed off, both physically and magically, to help protect against a non-physical invasion, whether it be magical or mental.

However, one disadvantage of such methods is that it cuts them off from the outside world. Soon the room was enveloped in darkness, lasting all of one second before the emergency lights, which depended on their power sources, kicked in and a faint, red glow illuminated the area.

In cases where such a thing was to be evoked, both the third-floor security ward and all guards near the affected room would be notified of the emergency and instructed to prepare countermeasures, tighten security, scan for possible leaks and, if possible, counter them to restore normal levels of order. Dr. Gacha was sure that, at this moment, a large team of guards and mages was outside the door, scanning for any traces of the mental attack that was cast on them.

Looking around the dimly lit room, the head scientist saw the status of his staff. Many seemed visibly unnerved that they were caught in such a way, including Dr. Ferdinand and Dr. Ivanovski, who were stiffly conversing with other mages to find out what they had felt during the mental control. Dr. Gacha couldn’t blame them for feeling this way, they were brilliant scientists and there were few things people like them valued over their own minds and intelligence. To know someone had tampered with them in such a way as to act completely out of logic and reason was unnerving.

Making a mental note to have both himself and all affected staff in the room checked for any traces of further mental corruption, he turned to look at the guards and the magical researchers. Some guards were also exhibiting anxiousness, visible even through their full body power suits, thanks to their constant twitching. The mages, however, had a look of professionalism, typical of those who were trained to act in such situations, as expected of elite researchers in their field of specialization. While the guards were professional in their own right, they had no way to defend themselves against mental attacks, so that job fell to the mages. Dr. Gacha made another note to assign at least one mage to all critical areas.

Soon after, the mages were walking around, searching every nook and cranny with their diagnostic spells to define the nature of the invasion, and determining if any effect of mental control remained. This was good. They needed to lift the seal as soon as possible to counteract more disorder from happening, but he could tell it would still take a while.

Deciding to hasten the process as much as he could, he walked towards the magical researcher who had freed him from the mental hold. The man, who had been directing the other mages, noticed him and nodded respectfully at his boss.
