Lab Notes and Blood Oaths
Chapter 4
Next Morning – Alania Research Institute
Supervisor Dalia
Miss Rowen, welcome to the team.
Supervisor Dalia
You’re assigned to Project 7. Don’t ask too many questions. You’ll find out—eventually
Supervisor Dalia
We like to keep things...quiet.
Aveline Rowan (mc)
Right. Love the secrecy. Super comforting.
Aveline Rowan (mc)
Thank you Miss Dalia
Coworker Jonas
(whispers) Hey. Careful around Project 7.
Coworker Jonas
Rumor is the last guy working on it?
Coworker Jonas
He... kind of vanished.
Aveline Rowan (mc)
Perfect. I wanted mystery and maybe death on my first week.
Aveline Rowan (mc)
Thanks, universe.
Later that day – Aveline’s Lab
Coworker Jonas
You know Project 7 used to be banned, right?
Aveline Rowan (mc)
I’m sorry—“banned” as in classified science reasons?
Aveline Rowan (mc)
Or cursed by a witch in the woods reasons?
Coworker Jonas
(leans in) Nobody knows. The compound, Lacri-noxene?
Coworker Jonas
It was part of a failed enhancement serum... or a ritual
Coworker Jonas
Depends who you ask
Coworker Jonas
But everyone agrees—it messes with your soul
Aveline Rowan (mc)
Great. I came here for data sheets and got ghost chemicals instead
