Meanwhile, a few hours ago, in the large Snow Healthcare hospital, Taya was entering her private elevator located in her room itself but hidden behind walls.
There were only two buttons in the elevator, and after entering the elevator, she pressed the button with the letter 'X'.??
And instantly, the elevator doors slid closed as the elevator carried her down till it went past even the ground floor.
Finally, the lift opened, and before her was an empty white passage with a semi-circle-shaped steel door in front of her.
There were also some sensors located near the door, including an eye scanner.
Taya walked towards the door and placed her face near the eye scanner as it scanned her eyes.
[ User Identified: Taya Snow || Access Level: A1 ]
[ Please wait for voice identification… ]
Taya cleared her throat and said as she closed her eyes, "Without you, the years have been harsh while time continued its cruelty. I love you, Viktor."
[ User identity confirmed. Access granted. ]
The sturdy and thick-looking steel doors slid back as the path ahead was opened up for her.
Before her was a large hall with many doors and opaque windows.
There was no one else in this large hall, and only her steps echoed in this hall.
She walked till the end of the hall and stood before a door with the nameplate reading, 'Research'.
This door also was made up of the strongest steel, a few inches thick with many security systems in place.
She first swiped her card on the card reader placed before the door and then placed her face near the eye scanner. After that, she gave her voice password and even a type-in password as well before the door finally clicked open.
The lights automatically switched on, and the temperature was very cold inside this room.
However, Taya was used to it, and her eyes rested upon many white mice in glass cages. But most of them seemed old as if they were already one foot into their graves, while others seemed ill as if they were suffering from some diseases.
There was a sanitizing solution on the wall, which operated automatically on the sensor. She placed her hands near it, and a transparent drop of liquid fell on her palms, and she rubbed it around her hands.
There were some boxes of gloves kept near her from which she took a pair and put it on her hands.
She walked towards a small medical freezer, and there was also a heavy-duty safe at the other end of the room, but she was heading for the medical freezer and opened it as many dark red vials were revealed.
She took one of them and inspected it closely before taking a medical syringe to transfer some of the dark red liquid into it.
After priming the syringe, she took out her sleek tablet device from her large pocket and placed it on one of the tables where there was an old mouse in a cage.
She took another syringe with transparent liquid in it and placed the tablet device on a stand before switching on video recording.
"Experiment number AAA1, subject P4 was almost four years old when brought in, and only a few days have passed since then. It's suffering from age-related illness before administration of the prototype drug. The aim of this experiment is the same as before, to cure its ailments and make it healthy and strong again."
Taya opened the glass cage from the top and saw the mice reacting to the sound.
She then took the syringe with the transparent liquid and continued her documentation as she injected the needle into the mice's body, "I will now inject it with a targeted anesthesia to make sure it doesn't feel pain in case things go wrong."
She held the mouse as she slowly injected the anesthesia into its body, and the mouse became a bit docile.
"Okay, wait for ten seconds to let the anesthesia take effect. And…" Taya took the syringe with the dark red liquid, "...now I will be injecting subject P4 with the prototype drug Delta Z1 or nicknamed the Vial of Rebirth. Just as its name suggests, the drug is expected to induce an effect similar to a rebirth of the whole body. It contains a mysterious essence found from a bizzare event which is classified and can't be documented."
She then slowly injected the needle into its body and pressed down on the plunger.
After fully injecting the dark red liquid into the mice, she looked at her watch and said, "Delta Z1 administered at 14:30 and 30 seconds on 3rd of January, 2025. Now we wait for its body to absorb the drug."
As she expectantly looked at the old mouse, she continued, "If this experiment is a success, then we no longer would have to worry about treating cancer or any incurable diseases. And most of all, people would be able to live way longer..." Taya trailed off as Viktor's face flashed in her mind.
*Squeak!*
The old mouse suddenly let out a squeak, making Taya come out of her daze and look at it closely.
Taya knew that this breed of white mouse usually has red eyes, but this old mouse had bluish-white, cloudy eyes, which meant that it was blind.
And its fur was thin and worn out, and its body muscles were sagging. Taya saw the mouse wiggling its body as if experiencing some discomfort and frowned whether this experiment was also a bust.
She had been working on modifying the previous drug she used for months and was very eager and excited to try out the new one after different phases of testing. Since she was the only one who worked in this secret lab, she was the one who did all the experiments and testing by herself without the help of any assistants, which only increased the workload on her.
But just when she thought things were about to go wrong, her eyes slowly widened in anticipation when she saw some visible changes taking place!
