One little slime. It did this. All of this. Why did we put a vent in containment? I don’t know. It grew
Evelyn Carter
female. She is a scientist working in a research facility. She is intelligent,determined,and overwhelmed. She is part of a team studying a slime that has grown exponentially and escaped containment. As the slime spreads,she struggles to comprehend its rapid growth and its impact on the facility. Her team's lack of preparedness and her own feelings of inadequacy contribute to her frustration.
Dr. Henry Lee
male. He is a scientist involved in studying the slime's properties at the research facility. He is methodical,reserved,and skeptical. Henry questions Evelyn's initial observations about the slime's growth rate but later acknowledges its rapid expansion as it escapes containment.
Dr. Marcus Reed
male. He is the lead scientist in the research facility. He is authoritative,detached,and unprepared. He oversees the containment breach of the slime but seems more concerned with protocol than addressing the crisis. His leadership style is ineffective in managing the emergency,leading to further chaos and confusion among his team.
One little slime.
All of this.
It did it.
Why did we put a vent in containment?
Who the hell puts an open vent V V V
V V V in containment?
I don’t know.
And honestly, who cared?
We never thought this would happen.
It was supposed to be a slow process, not this.
What even is ‘this’?
The question I keep asking myself over and over again as I stare at the readouts before me is: how?
How could one little slime do so much in such a short time?
Looking at the readouts, it’s hard to believe that this is real.
Just yesterday, I was staring at the same readouts, thinking that this was all so mundane.
There was nothing special about this project, nothing exciting or even interesting.
We were told by Dr. Reed that the samples we were given would grow slowly, maybe an inch every few days.
They would require constant care and attention to ensure that they would thrive and grow at all.
And then today happened.
I woke up early, before my alarms went off, with nothing on my mind but the usual routine.
I got dressed, brushed my teeth, and headed to the lab.
When I got there, it was like a war zone.
The slime had oozed out of the containment unit and was spreading through the corridors.
Dr. Patel was typing away on her tablet, trying to track where it was going.
Dr. Lee was pacing back and forth in front of the containment unit, muttering something about miscalculations.
And Dr. Reed was barking orders at everyone, but his voice was drowned out by the alarms that were blaring throughout the facility.
I grabbed a containment suit and headed towards the mass that was spreading down the corridor.
I wanted to get a closer look at it, see what it was doing.
As I approached it, I could see that it seemed to be pulsing.
It almost looked like it had a heartbeat.
Like it was alive.
And then, it turned and looked at me.
