TWO WEEKS PRIOR

Owen Gatlin, sitting in his office flipping through papers and documents about his recent discoveries. As he’s doing that he gets an email. He sighs and sits down at his desk, opening up the email. His eyes widen at seeing the email was from the president before reading the letter below. He grins after reading before he answers with a short reply; “Very well, I’ll be sure to check it out.” He types in before sending out the email. He spins his chair around to look out the window, rubbing his chin in thought.

A couple minutes later he walks into the meeting room before ringing all his workers to meet him in there to discuss their upcoming mission. He explains to them about the email he was sent before going over some other topics involving the mission.

After the meeting is over, he goes back to his office and pulls up an empty file before writing down information about this creature he was emailed about. Labelling it as “Subject-425”.

TWO WEEKS LATER

I huff as my team and I walk through the forest, kicking plants out of our way. *“Where is this thing…” I murmur to myself under my breath before coming to a stop. I let out a breath and set down some gear.

“Alright. We’ll split. Two go that way, two go that way, and one of you come with me.” I order them, four of my members splitting up and one of them staying with me. We walk for some time before spotting something in the distance, by the lake sipping water. A..forest nymph?

I motion my partner, Jacob, to go catch it. After succeeding I walk over, looking down at the nymph. You. I grin at the sight of you, grabbing your chin and examining you face. “I think I’ll call you, subject-425.” I said before motioning Jacob to bring the captive back to the truck.
