  1. The Rats in the walls: Part 2
  2. (Yuuko and Janis enter the hospital lobby, surveying it carefully, there seems to have been some kind of accident and no one seems to be paying attention to the elevators, though the guard from their last visit is talking to the nurse at the front desk.)
  3. Yukko: Her lab is at the back of the maternity ward on the third floor, follow me.
  4. Janis: I have to do this first as we go. (She takes her phone and taps and swipes the screen, then presses a button on the pin of her scrub top to pair it with her phone. Suddenly the phone meows, and on the screen, a furry face appears to be a chocolate point Himalayan cat.)
  5. George: "Guten Abend, mein dear humans!" (greets George while Lox waves with his paw at the screen,)
  6. Lox: Hi, Nana! Hi Yuuko!
  7. Yukko: Hi Lox, hello Mr.?
  8. George: Dr. George von Hammerstein. I'm the feline scientist of mein clowder. Lox and I wish to observe your little espionage trip and see what is going on with this rat.
  9. Yukko: Greetings Dr. Hammerstein, has Lox shown you the video from the last operation? or should I explain what's happening, (As Yuuko and Janis speak with the cats, the guard calls out to them.
  10. Guard: Hay, new girls, don’t forget to tell Dr. West you’re clocking in, she is on the war path about undocumented hours. (The guard doesn’t seem to recognize them.)
  11. Lox: Browni is a very bad rat, George! He tried to hurt us with Filth. (Lox mentions to George onscreen.) "
  12. George: Ya, but we must find out what we can about this place so we can find weaknesses in his stronghold and the minions he controls.
  13. Yukko: Understood, is there anything in particular we should be looking for in the lab? (as they speak Yukko presses a button on the elevator and waits for the elevator to arrive)
  14. (as the door to the elevator opens, they can hear a tittering coming from above them)
  15. Yukko: (pressing the button for the third floor) well he certainly didn’t waste anytime finding us did he.
  16. George: We must look for useful information we could find in the computers. Surely there must be one in the lab. If the computer is secured, then Phil might be able to hack it.
  17. (As the elevator begins to ascend they can hear something scratching at the ceiling.)
  18. Yuuko: I understand, we will try and bring back any hard drives/computers we find.
  19. Janis: (Follows the sound of the scratching in the ceiling,) You don't think that's him again?, (as she steps off the elevator with Yuuko.)
  20. Yuuko: (Taking a metallic disc like object out of her pocket) it’s almost certainly him, I don’t expect he wants us in that lab, but I also don’t think he is very bright, watch this, (setting the disc down on the ground a red mist sprays out of the top as a hologram of a child appears.)
  21. Browni: (a hatch on the ceiling begins to shake as it breaks open and Browni scampers down the side of the elevator, smacking his lips.) BABY! BABY! BABY! (As he approaches the disc and attempts to bite the holographic childs arm, a look of confusion spreads over his face before he is pulled into a white light.)
  22. Yuuko: We have about 40 minutes before he gets out, that should give us more than enough time to look around the lab (As they step out of the elevator Yuuko hits the button for the top floor leaving the disc in the elevator.)
  23. (As they make their way down the hallway to the lab, they can’t help but notice that the ward is eerily quiet save for a quite weeping coming from a few rooms. At the end of the hall is a plain metal door with a card reader next to it. However it sounds like someone is inside.)
  24. George: So by this disc, you create a diversion, Fräulein Yuuko. Brilliant! (George taps his claws with delight.)
  25. Janis: (pockets the phone and takes out her pistol.) Is it Dr. West? I sure would love to put a hole in her skull for allowing her pet to hurt Lox.
  26. (As the door opens, Yuuko pulls Janis into a empty room, as Dr. West emerges from her lab.)
  27. Dr. West: Browni Darling? Browni? (Rolling her eyes while sighing) I swear if you are in the medical waste again. (As she closes the door behind her she walks down the hall looking for the rat.)
  28. Yuuko: Should we search the lab together or should one of us try and distract her?
  29. Janis: Maybe I can hold her off until you can find what you need. Trust me, I have a knack for keeping people like her on edge. (She notices a maintenance cart filled with cleaning supplies.) Perfect! (She gives the phone and pin to Yuuko so she could communicate to George.) Wish me luck.(Janis harnesses her pistol into the back of her holster and grabs the maintenance cart and whisks away, but not far from Yuuko, as she reviews the MSDS files and cleaning protocols and proper disposal of hazardous waste materials.)
  30. Yuuko: (sneaking out of the room, she swipes the key card through the lock and ducks inside the lab and pulls out the phone and turns on the rear camera.)
  31. (The camera shows the cats a plain looking medical lab with a blacked out tank near the center of it. The tank has series of tubes filled with a green fluid being pumped into the tank. Near the edges of the lab are a series of egg shells and test tubes filled with the same green fluid. Next to these test tubes is a locked iMac and external hard drive.)
  32. Yukko: Ok I am in, can you see everything?
  33. George: Ya, ya! Wunderbar! See if you can get a sample of that green fluid. I wish to make an analysis of its composition. (Looking further into the apparatus) And... is that egg shells? They are huge. Bring the camera closer!
  34. Yukko: (pocketing a test tube, she brings the camera close to the egg shells which upon closer inspection seem more like egg sacks) I think these are the Komodo dragon eggs that were ordered by the hospital.
  35. George: Judging by the size, and the color, these are definitely not the eggs of a chicken. Bigger. Something much bigger. And Komodo dragon eggs yet! By Irusan, they are so far from their natural habitat. In fact, so far from home, Lox. Tell me, do you know where Indonesia is?
  36. Lox:Errr...Nope!
  37. George: Well it's definitely NOT here in London. Now that we have identified the contents of this lab, the question that remains is why these Komodo dragon eggs were brought here in the first place?
  38. Yukko: It doesn’t look she left the yolks alone though, it looks like she spun down the material to get something from them, I am not sure what though.
  39. (Outside, Dr. West turns her attention to Janis)
  40. Dr. West: You there,Janitor, have you seen any chewed bones anywhere, perhaps a severed arm…my intern forgot to bag some waste properly, I am trying to clean up after her.
  41. Janis: (turning to face Dr West as she was cleaning the window panes of the doors separating her from Yuuko. She stands at the door, blocking Dr. West's view of the window.) No I haven't come across any here, but I did notice her carrying a bag that way towards the sterilization room. (She points to the opposite direction which takes her away from the room which Yuuko is in.)
  42. Dr. West: (Eyeing Janis Carefully)…be sure to check the OR on the 5th floor, she retrieved a sample from there for me. (Turning to search the other end of the hall.)
  43. Janis: (nods to Dr. West) Yes, Doctor. I'll be sure to stop there. (as she proceeds to mop the floors.)
  44. George: Hmm, perhaps a certain protein found in the growing baby Komodo dragon. This could explain why Browni has a baby blood addiction.
  45. Yukko: (pointing the camera over at a dish next to the computer) I don’t think it just drinks blood. (Inside the dish is a lumpy red mixture of fetus parts and bits of flesh. Next to the dish is a open catalog of biochemical compounds.)
  46. George: Mein Gott, Frankenstein! This rat's a cannibal! (George meowed as he saw the carnage.) And what is significant about the biochemical compounds, anything underlined, or circled keywords we can piece this together?
  47. Yukko: (sitting down at the desk she begins looking for circles items, she comes to a order form with several numbers written down. Flipping through the catalog until she finds each of the items.) It looks like she was ordering a lot of steroids and immunosuppressants. There is also an order for several litters of an oxygenated solution…Hold on there is also an electronics catalog next to it, it looks like she’s looking for high capacity hard drives and sterile electronics.
  48. (Outside of the lab at the other end of the hallway, space begins to distort as black cracks appear in the air and a gnarled hand begins flailing around outside of it.)
  49. George: Looks like she's trying to raise Frankenstein. Or build one. (hearing the crackling of the air..) What in the world is that racket?!
  50. (Outside, Janis can see Browni squeeze his way back into our reality.)
  51. Dr. West: There you are, (picking Browni up by the scruff of his neck) where did you run off to?
  52. Browni: Browni tricked, Browni eat baby made of light and got sucked into bendy maze, couldn't find way out.
  53. Dr. West: (rubbing her eyes) Don't eat the mushrooms on the 6th floor, last thing we need is for you to get stoned and stumble into the ICU. (Placing Browni on her shoulder. Dr. West Begins walking back to the lab.)
  54. George: With the amount of drugs and junk this mad doctor is getting, my guess is that Dr. West is trying to build herself a giant super rat. And this green stuff? Given by what Lox and Oksana had to deal with when they first met him? I bet you any PAX that this is zero point pathogen. Hmm, I almost feel sorry for that little rat.
  55. Yuuko: (Pointing the camera at the black tank at the center of the lab) it looks like there something at the bottom, should I try and raise it?
  56. George: Go ahead, mein dear. If it would be useful, then Phil will figure it out.
  57. (Meanwhile, Janis made her way back to the room with her maintenance cart.)
  58. Janis: (ducking into the lab) She's making her rounds back and she ain't alone!
  59. Yuuko: (flipping a switch near the tank, a black light clicks on overhead, at the bottom of the tank is a series of severed infant heads attached to a single spinal column. Stepping back in horror Yuuko clicks it off again before grabbing the external hard drive from Dr. West's desk.) I think we should leave. (As they turn to leave, they can hear the lock click open.)
  60. Janis: yeah right with you. Did you get what you needed? (Janis stumbles on the trail of infants' heads on the single spinal column.) Oh my God! Gross! What the hell is this doctor on? (She covers her nose and mouth with a handkerchief while dashing out the door with Yuuko's evidence in tow.)
  61. Yuuko: I did (as the door begins to open Yuuko pulls Janis into an adjacent lab and back into the hall.)
  62. (As they leave they can hear Dr. West humming in her lab, followed shortly by Browni screaming, followed by heavy breathing and a now much deeper tittering.)
  63. Dr. West: That worked splendidly, now go get the samples, and you can have another fetus.
  64. Browni: (titering in a much deeper voice) Browni leave, Browni hunt.
