Night 25: Intercom, Midnight
The intercom crackled on, all vestige of civility lost from the Head Doctor's voice as his words came out, quick and frothy.
"Schizophrenic sasquatch? Sasquatch? Surely, you can come up with something better than that, old friend!"
His breathing continued, hard and unhinged, as the intercom squealed for a moment under the movement of his hands.
"You, weaponless? Ha! You reaped the same benefits from these patients as I did, Alec! You remember, I'm sure, the poor man from whom you stole your own abilities? Of course, I have more than that now--much more--more power than even you can imagine, than even my so-called superiors can. I'm the one being ordered, here? Ha! I have countries begging for the fruits of my research; it is only through my own pitying patriotism that I stick with this sad bunch of short-sighted military men!
"In short, dear doctor, your words are noble indeed, but your intentions are another matter entirely, as I have reiterated again and again and again. And again, this trade of tirades--I tire of it! Good night for now, Alec, and Group 3, I hope you enjoy your stay."
With that angry note, the Head Doctor seemed to slam his hand down on the intercom switch and all went quiet.
