The End Of The Beginning Part 5

"Sir," the dark-suited man said as he stood in the doorway of Lee's working room. This is where he wrote blueprints, thought of new ideas, and made prototypes before he put them into mass production. "They have breached the first floor, sir."

"Well, yeah. Not like it's hard. The door is hanging on its hinges anyway," Lee muttered as he doodled on a piece of paper.

The dark-suited man had given up on trying to figure Lee out long ago. This was just another reminder of why he stopped. "Aren't you worried? It's only a matter of time before they work their way up."

"Why? Are you worried? Listen to me; you are either the broken or the breaker. And I have no room for the broken here. Let them come, it's all part of my plan. And don't you lose faith in me now. I will kill off her friends as they make their way up."

"Right. So you want them to waltz right in and destroy half of your forces? Your work? On the way up?" the dark suited man asked. He was obviously new to this 'evil minion' thing.

"As a matter of fact, yes. Sacrifices need to be made," Lee said, still doodling. Eventually, the dark suited man left.

Sitting in the back, blending in with his surroundings was the hooded man. He was changing a vial that he plugged into his leg, which he then closed his metallic leg up and covered it back up with his robe and looked up at Dr. Lee. "Are you sure we can trust him?"

"I trust no one, T-03. I rule by fear. There is no room for trust. As long as he is by me, he will listen. He fears for his own life far too much to care. Shame that he too will be a sacrifice to the altar. Metaphorically speaking of course. Now, to get the Third Generation Drone into existence." Dr. Lee said, as he got up and switched some switches that turned on the other half of the rooms light. There was a large ring hooked to tons of wires and a holding table standing up nearby.

"Let's get ourselves a new test subject, shall we?" Lee said as he pushed a button, creating blinding flashes as sparks flew about from the ring's edges. Eventually, as if a silver liquid was pouring from the edges, the entire center of the ring became engulfed in the silver light, creating a portal to the spiritual world.
