*Setting: A white room, a creché to be exact. The room isn't that large. Around 7 ft in height and 9-10 in width. Inside the room are glass incubators, 12 to be precise. Little babies are inside, around 4-5 weeks old. Orkhid children grow fast and thus are always being monitered by some Scientist or Doctor for abnormalities.*
Footsteps echoe down the corridor, electronic doors open and close, and talking ensues. The babies are the embryo's that were once entrapped in the glass tubes. Now free of their confinement they are stuck in glass incubators instead. Their tiny hands and tiny feet push up against their confinement as if trying to break out.
Voice: "Ahhh, babies(!)"
The voice was shrill and full of joy, it was one of the newer Scientists who liked to come in and entertain them a while. His eccentricity did usually make them laugh and giggle, their eyes lighting up as they forgot were they where and focused on this strange Orkhid's antics. His hair was dark brown with blonde streaks, his eyes a beautiful green and his face was round and plump. It was perculier to see such a Orkhid, usually the obeise or slightly over weight babies were killed almost straight away. But he wasn't...for some reason. The Orkhid leant forwards over one of the containers, smiling his sweet smile to one of the female babies.
Scientist: "Baby!! And how are you today? I hope you are well."
He tapped the container with a sausage like finger and the baby giggled, grabbing her feet with her tiny hands. Burbling a short reply and then laughing in her baby tone of voice.
Scientist: "Good. We do not want you upset now do we babies!!"
The others responded by googling and patting their glass prisons. The Scientist walked around each container, talking to the critter inside for 2 mins and making them feel loved. Something they would never experience with the other Dr's or Scientists. Finally he had got round all 12, they were all situated around the room, in a circular way so it was easier for the Scientist to get to them. Moniters displayed their vitals and all of them seemed to be in top form.
Scientist: "Ok, i have a surprise for you babies!! Do you want it? Or should i go into the next creché and show them?"
He rubbed his hands together, they were sweaty and so finally he rubbed them on his white coat. The babies laughed and waved their appendages around for abit. As if to say "Surprise, show us the surprise!!".
Scientist: "Ok, ok!! I shall show!!"
He held his hands up in a denfensive way as if to be truly surprised by their reaction. Trudging along to the exit he then poked his head out of the room and checked to make sure no guards or other personal was about. He then reached into his coat and pulled out a little black box. It was like a tape player, but it was able to be stuck to things.
Scientist: "Babies...this is our secret though, ok? You tell no-one!!"
He giggled and switched it on, sticking it to a wall just above one of the moniters, the babies were in awe of what it produced. Their burblings stopped and instead they stared wide eyed at what the Scientist was doing in time with the sound of the box.
Scientist: "It is music babies...music!!"
He was dancing to the song 'Your Unbelievable' by EMF. Miming the words with a black pen he kept in his top pocket. The small Orkhids laughed, tears rolling down some of their eyes. Their small palms clapping together as he jiggled his body in such a amusing way. The Scientist then pretended to play the guitar, turning around to all the containers so they could all see him. Changing dances he then started to pretend to be a robot, moving in a robotic jerky way. He lived for this, making minors laugh was one of the rewarding parts of his job, even though it was frowned upon by the other personal.
Voice: "WVHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON HERE!?"
The babies laughter turned into sudden squeaks of fear as they realised who's booming voice had cut through the music like a knife through butter. The Scientist stopped in the middle of his movements, his face turning from happiness to fear and regret.
Voice: "CORNISH...WVHAT IS THE MEANING OF THIS!?"
Scientist: "Its Cornesh, sir. And i thought it might cheer the children up fro..."
He was interupted by the Doctor. Unlike the others this one wore a pair of elbow length black gloves. His face clean shaven and his cold Grey eyes like a Hawks. He moved forwards, his ankle length lab coat flailing through the air. Cornesh was holding the black 'mircophone' in his hand still, he tried to explain but everytime he opened his mouth he got hushed by the Orkhid.
Doctor: "Cornesh...you are a Scientist. Your target in life is not to amuse experimental SUBJECTS."
He emphasised that they were not babies but subjects to be poked and prodded, he also turned his head and looked at them all whilst saying it. Sneering at their terror filled eyes.
Doctor: "Your target is to make a more substantial race of Orkhid, a more perfect race. You do understand...dont you?"
He grasped the pen and pulled it away from Cornesh' grip.
Cornesh: "S-sir."
Doctor: "Good. Now, i am relieving you for the rest of the night. Return to your quaters immediatly(!) I'll take over from here."
He stood still as Cornesh stepped around him, his head held low he made a bee-line for the exit. The babies gurgled amongst themselves. The female child whom Cornesh spoke to first didn't make a sound however, but merely stared. Stared at the creature who had shouted at her friend. And then she cried, the shrillest and ear popping cry you have ever heard. Closely followed by the rest of the room...and then the rest of the corridor...
