Mission Success?

I am riding the elevator down to what I hope is the basement. It slows and stops at the 2nd floor. The door opens and I can see the back of one of the enforcers and a side view of another one. They are discussing some female scientist that visited earlier in the week. Apparently, she is involved in the ooze project. I casually reach over to push the down button and one starts to turn towards me as the door closes. I eventually get to the basement area, and I step out to see how very busy my teammates have been. Looks like they have been taking out OS Corps people and stashing them out of site. I walk over to a keypad beside the door and begin checking to see if I can get any information. This seems to be using a different security protocol - almost a Kryptonian military caste. I turn to my team to see if they have any suggestions or if we even need to go through the door. Feral says the other victims are in there and we must get them out. Don pulls out a key card and suggests we try this. I check it with my tri-comm, and it has an RFID chip embedded. I am worried that there might be a vocal component, but no one is sure. We could just try it, but I am afraid that there is some type of countermeasure system in place.
 
Feral wonders off to investigate one of the rooms and Dr, Reynolds pulls up some security footage that is inside the room. We can see several people wondering about and also a person floating in a tank of some kind. Amythyst brings over a photo of the network lines and it makes the idea Feral is proposing sound almost feasible. I overhear the two doctors asking for various chemicals in order to make some kind of concoctions. I go over the the security computer that Feral pointed out to me and I hack in and see that there is no vocal component to the door lock. I turn around to the team and let them know that we have a keycard and we can enter now. Are they ready? Amythyst speaks up and says that he will look. He finds the vinegar that Don needs for a reaction with the bleach that Feral found earlier. Feral gets on top of the door frame, Amythyst stands in front with Don beside him in a security uniform.
 
The door opens with many clicks, clanks, and rolls. In front of us are two of the whatevers in yellow and I whisper telling them to "Go, go, GO!" I wait until they have been accepted by the people inside and then I busily start tapping on my tri-comm and welk inside and begin heading towards the tank at the back of the room. There is a clash behind us and I freeze for a moment and then turn to slowly look behind me. The tech beside me glances up and then tells me that she will get the door closed. As she is about to close it, one of those in a yellow suit tells her to leave it open. They come over to investigate and then requests to have more security to be sent as the others are all on break. He walks out to stand guard and tells everyo9ne to leave the door open. Don and Amythyst head to the scanner on the SE corner while I get to the tank on the east wall.
 
Suddenly, there is a cat fight in the outer room so I take the opportunity to investigate the person in the getup in the back. I plug in my tri-comm and am able to see that this person, who seems to be in some sort of dream state, is actually connected to the entire room. In fact, it looks like he is connected to the white ooze in the tank. I notice that he is one of the victims from New York that we were sent to rescue, so I decide to check to see if I can discover which type of mutagen he has and that's when I set off the intruder alerts. I holler out apologies and one of the mechanized individuals turns to me and whats to know what I mean. I then babble something about I was told to not do that and then I went and did it and he sounds very frustrated and tells me he is coming to fix it. Then Don gets his attention and distracts him, but the then big dude out in the office yells "Intruder Alert!" also.
 
Suddenly I see a flurry of data going between the subject in front of me and the vat. I need to determine which half of this is leading. A quick check tells me that the victim in the chair is reacting to something - like the most basic levels of instinct and reaction. It seems to be a handshake type of system where information is sent from the victim to the tank and the tank sends back a confirmation signal to confirm it understands the command or the reaction or something. I am afraid to break the connection on the victim's end as i do not want to cause a feedback loop, so I head over to the tank and the arm that hangs over the tank where I can see an interface. I am heading that way when one of the techs rushed over to me. She tells me that she knows I don't work here and she needs to be rescued as well. I tell her we can help her, but we need her to help us. She tells us that this is the third victim that has been hooked up to the tank and each time five protectors are created. The current batch should be coming out in twenty minutes and they are going to be magnetic controllers. I tell her that I can't make any promises, but that if she gives me his information we will do our best to save him once we get out of here. She is pragmatic about her chances to get away, but is positive that we can save her brother. I ask her if she has a complex-programmable decoupled voltage-controlled-attenuator and she runs to get one out of her desk. This causes the ooze to start to boil over and I can see green mist rising from the other side of the tank. What?!?!
 
I ask the tech if she has a switch-mode jitter-free voltage-controlled-attenuator instead, but since she doesn't, I hook up my tri-comm and check program parameters to see if I can disconnect the victim or if I can drain the tank or maybe even both! I realize that I need to hold my breath as the fumes are becoming overwhelming. I can only do one or the other with the current environmental factors in place. I quickly disconnect the victim and the tank system goes into standby mode. Hopefully, that will give us time to deal with what is inside the tank AFTER we get through the current crisis. The tech comes running back with a tritonic neogenic fetcher and I plug it into the armature so that it can assist me with deconstructing the programming so that I can shut it down.
 
Then there is a green fog that flows from the other end of the room and settles into the tank. In a last ditch effort to stop the process, I start the emergency protocol to drain the tank. This does not help. The nanites have taken over the things in the tank and they come alive with AIM yellow eyes! I know that I need somthing with a decimated ultra-performance option that will stop them. I remember what the tech told me about them being vulnerable to cold for the first minute they are out of the tank. I yell for help out to the room, but the only person that can help has already been taken out of commission. The tech runs over to see if she can hot wire the freeze gun from the power suit, but something goes very wrong. I see Amythyst pull her away from the danger, but ice forms around her and there also seems to be electricity involved. I do a quick tri-comm scan for her vitals. I think I MIGHT be able to reverse the effects, but there is no guarantee. I ask her what she wants and she prefers to get control. I use Amythyst's ability to siphon the energy and then I can interface with her biometrics. I help her to get control, but she is no longer someone without power as either her dormant mutagenic powers were awakened, some experimenting gone awry, or maybe she was experimented on too.
 
She is grateful for my help and confirms that we will help her brother. She then tells me that there is someone with a lot of money who is helping Os Corp to pay for all of the experiments. Dr. Joara Zarn-Del, a geneticst and behavioral scientist from Kryton who wants everyone to continue following the old ways. I have met her once or twice and she struck me as being very dogmatic, a firm believer in enhancing Krytonian evolution for the betterment of the whole. She then tell me that the other victims are either on an off-shore platform or in Jersey. Then finally she tells me that we can get out of here by taking the mainetnance stairs beside the elevator, up to a walkway and through a tunnel to the outside. I ask the team if there is anything else we need to do since there is only one victim here that we can rescue, we have gotten all of the medical data, and we have a way out. Medkit wants to get some samples, Feral wants to grab the server's hard drives, and I go to get the victim out of the contraption. I give him to Amythyst to carry as I attempt to hurry the team out.
 
We load onto the bus and turn into the first truck stop we see and remove the wrap to make the bus look different. Then we head for home - or at least headquarters.
