Agent Dioxide looked at his phone while the nurses were tending to him. Though he got out of Gershwin’s psychotic episode unscathed, he was mentally and psychologically wounded. The nurses attended to monitor his heart-rate while he, under strict ruling, was to lay and recuperate.

In the Science, Research, and Development Building – Main LaboratoryThere was not a single shadow in the Main Laboratory, what with the numerous powerful lamps providing ample lighting to the already meticulous and gaudy floor. Its intent was to keep the scientists awake as they slaved through hours upon hours cracking the mysteries of Anomalies with hard science, logic, and taxing ingenuity. Much like the other divisions, everyone minded their own business and any sort of noise at all sets them off to attention. They were fighting strict deadlines, and some were known to have not left the premises for months in order to catch up – smart vampires of the night.

He was in his office, a spacious room with one large window, allowing him to survey the open, wide tables where scientists operated. He let his door open normally to listen in on any potential news, or mistake. He closed his door when Agent Caits entered – allowing no sensitive information to leak out.
‘Agent Caits. You weren’t summoned. What brings you here?’
