The entire layout of the Vault was massive, sprawling countless blocks underground. It dwarfed the facility's upper levels, giving to its legacy a House of Horrors effect with all its secrets and phantasmagoric concepts. As far as eyes could see, hundreds of Labatories in various sizes occupied the skin of the Vault like living pores, as the activities inside carried out by those infectious organisms moved about conducting experiments of varying degrees. It was amazing that such a facility like this could have remained as secretive as it did. Luckily for us, security was lax, and it didn't take much for my tiny squad to dispatch them. During the small incursion, those working inside close to us never took notice; lending to a belief that the glass was soundproof, and undoubtedly blaster proof.
It would take more time than I wished to spend visiting each and every lab, so I walked by each lab reading the black stenciled words on the doors which labeled the labs individually. I was only interested in those projects that mainly dealt with flesh eating viruses or viruses that ate one from the inside out, the good stuff. The rest of the inconsequential material could be cataloged later by those with more patience than myself.
Pausing at a lab door, a sinister grin jaggedly stitched itself to my vampiric pale face as I read the words on the glass: Bioengineering. Politely I tapped on the door, garnishing haphazard looks by the workers inside. Again, I tapped, with more force this time and was rewarded for my annoyance. A little man opened the sliding glass door, his eyes colored with confusion as he looked up to me, began to rifle off his predicted question. Reaching out with my right hand in lightning speed, I gripped the man by his scrawny neck walking him backwards into the lab.
"My name is Darth Moskvin of the Sith Order. I ask but only two requirements of you."
"The first is your devoted cooperation. The second, your dedication to not lying to me. Do so, and everyone lives. Do not, and I will kill you. It's very simple. Now....who's in charge of this lab?" Fear is a powerful motivator, a tool wielded efficiently and properly can twist the most daunting tasks into one of pure simplicity. And I love simplicity. The fear factor was employed full-time, as an imaginary manipulator pulled the strings on the frame of a marionette; the group of researchers in unison pointed to a tall, lanky woman in the back.
"You," I said with a come-hither gesture from my left index finger.
