You have some time as your hands, since the command crew seem to to think you're on your way over to the lab in order to look for yourself. Lucky for you that these people are so inexperienced when it comes to escape attempts, although you'd think they'd have a lot more with an operation like this. Regardless, their inexperience has made them clumsy and gullible, allowing even an couch commando such as yourself to make good your escape.<br>
<br>As you're rifling through various documents pertaining to the more technical aspects of the transformation process (most of which you're sure would be of interest to anybody with a background of chemistry, biology, or even applied mechanics), you come across one that seems to stand out as important. Drawing it out, you see that it's a detailed outline of the Ecotopian Collective's plans and how they intend to wipe out humanity. As you read through it, you become visibly pale; whatever bonds the mentally implanted desire to become an animal may have held on you are broken by this newfound knowledge. The zoo is just a testing ground for the nanomechanical species reassignment process, phase one of a much broader agenda. The real goal is a classic Grey Goo Scenario; a wave of nanomachines sweeping across the globe, consuming entire cities whole and leaving wilderness, populated by freshly transformed animals in its wake.<br>
<br>Weakly, you slip the ream under your breastplate. If you get out of here, you'll need to get this to the authorities. This thing is much, much bigger than you, and it doesn't sit quite right at the pit of your stomach.<br>
<br>Once again, your radio crackles to life.<br>
<br>"Three-oh-niner, you still with us?"<br>
<br>"Yeah," you reply, trying with all your might to keep the fear from your voice as you replace most of the documents to their original locations. "There doesn't look to be anything wrong here. Just a loose wire on the security camera." Plugging in the camera again, you tap the lense for effect. "That better?"<br>
<br>Much, three-oh-ninet," the operator replies. Continue your search."<br>
<br>Well, it's definitely settled. You need to get out of here, and fast, before your deceptions start to collapse around you. Taking stock of the lab around you, you check to see if there's anything else you need before you leave.
