With a flourish Raquel raised the injector, pressed it to her neck, and injected the contents of the container before tossing it away. Her assistant stared at the act, then gaped as her skin faded to an orange-gold color. Raquel raised and looked at her hands, the silhouettes of the bones inside becoming more visible by the second.
"It's working."
Raquel laughed, a bit too loud and a bit too joyfully, as her flesh turned soft and translucent, leaving her as a human-shaped mass of gel surrounding a skeleton.
"It's WORKING!"
The assistant's head snapped to and fro, searching the room desperately before her eyes fell on the emergency button. Charging over, she raised the glass protector, looking back at her superior. She was still ecstatic, caught up in her own perceived brilliance as her bones broke apart into small pieces and dissolved, to no apparent discomfort. With nothing solid to support it her clothing simply sloughed off, sliding through her and falling in a disorganized pile at - or in - the small pool that was her feet.
The assistant slapped the button.
"Security! We've got a situation in Lab Twelve! Seal the doors off immediately!"
"Doors?"
Raquel gestured, scattering thick droplets across the room.
"Where I'm going, I don't need doors!"
Raquel turned and crouched, lunging away from the door. Her body splashed against the floor, forming a wave that slid at uncanny speed, passing effortlessly through a ventilation grate before disappearing.
