[code] The Wright Institute Baybridge Location, Old Raygate, Prince Ed Field[/code] 

The Wright Institute in Baybridge was a large modern-looking building on the corner of a street in Old Raygate. It was a perfect square, with an open-air courtyard in the center. It was four stories tall, made of alternating rows of grey steel and tinted bluish glass. One corner of the square, the one which contained the main entrance to the Institute, was a five-story circular steel cylinder with windows at each level. Once inside the Institute and past the circular foyer, one walked into a large open lobby with hallways stretching down two directions. Steel stairwells spiraled to the second floor on either side. A marble-topped reception desk was at the far wall. Behind the desk, in large steel script, were the words "Genes are the staircase to the human soul. -Tobias Wright". A large sculpture of a DNA double helix hung from the ceiling above the room, twisting its way up towards the second floor. 

So far, only half of the building was completed. While the external facade appeared finished, much of the right half of the building was still being constructed. Once finished, this part would contain more labs, as well as classrooms for metahuman students. The institute also contained an underground section, which would eventually contain an auditorium and several blast-proof concrete training rooms. The idea was that the Wright Institute of Baybridge, like its parent department in Mendel, would become a place for metahumans not interested in the constraints of the Academies to learn how to control their powers, as well as a space where the Academies could eventually use for some training. Though only partially-completed, two research teams were moved to the building from Mendel: the research team of Doctor Gillian Wallace and the team of Doctor Victor Calahan. 

Doctor Calahan's project, however, was now on hold. 

Victor sat at his desk. A very large transparent computer monitor sat at the desk in front of him. On it was a running genome analysis of a young woman.  Another, smaller monitor to his left had a Word document pulled up on it with research notes. A fire-resistant iPad and touch pen were in Victor's hands. Victor watched as several data analysis programs condensed the raw data into understandable statistics. The building's computer, though powerful, was by no means a supercomputer, but back at Mendel was H-MAN, the Wright Institute's Hyper Meta Analysis Network. The supercomputer there was receiving information from Baybridge's B-MAN computer, analyzing it, and then sending it back over. This was how all high-level analysis in Baybridge was to be done until B-MAN (Baybridge Meta Analysis Network) was upgraded. 

Two doors down from Doctor Wright's office, past the wetlab, was a room with glass walls. Inside was a large metal tube with a grated staircase winding around it. A bold-print sign on the door read "WARNING: POWERFUL MAGNETS". The machine was designed to separate proteins in a biological fluid to be analyzed. In this case, it was separating the proteins found in a blood sample from Anna Aikau. The machine had been running at capacity for about a week, analyzing small samples to identify abnormal non-human proteins. Its data was sent wirelessly to Mendel and then back to Doctor Calahan's computer. 

A screen to the right of Doctor Calahan had the DOVE file pulled up on Anna Aikau. Twenty-four year old. Metahuman caucasian female. According to DOVE, she was a reservoir of metahuman energy. He read the document over and shrugged. She sounded like quite a useful metahuman. He looked up at the wall clock in the corner of the room. It read 2:25 PM. He was expecting a visitor from NEST in a few minutes. Victor rocked back in his chair and put his hands over his face. In the last week, he had slept little in the past week. So far, his team had narrowed the suspect chemical down to four proteins, and the Mendel office was in the process of replicating them. Once they were replicated and sent to Baybridge, Victor would test the different chemicals on mice altered to contain metahuman energy in order to see what the culprit chemical was and what its physiological effects were. 

Victor stood up from his chair and left his office. Sarah met him in the hallway. 

"Hey, doc," Sarah said. "I just brought some lunch from a deli around the corner. It's in the kitchen, if you've finally decided to take a break."

"Thanks, Sarah, but I can't right now," Victor said. "I'm about to meet with a DOVE representative to talk over what the Institute has discovered about this energy-overloading chemical. Do you have the slideshow completed?" Sarah handed him a tablet. Then they walked down to the conference room. Victor flipped through the information as he walked. 

"Alright, can you head down to the lobby and bring the agent up when they get here?" Victor said. "They should be here shortly." 

"Alright, doc," she said. She walked to the end of the hall and down the stairs to the lobby.
