History

Joseph's fingers stroked gently against the massive touch screen computer sitting in front of him. Cursing silently to himself as he continually tried to find the correct sequence he needed to correct a new error in a strand of DNA he had recently been studying. All he needed was that one key and he would open up a brand new doorway to a world never thought possible. The massive super computer hummed gently next to him as he stood up and walked over to another console. As he approached he said "Computer, open file C-C-P-R-S, Strand 22B." The computer chirped in reply, then after a moment said "Restricted file, please say confirmation code." Happy that his new security program worked so well he gladly gave the confirmation code "Moriarty-Alpha-2-4-1-5-9" A moment later a large three dimensional double helix sat in front of him, he slid his hands over it and spun it around looking at different sections. As he pulled it apart the image zoomed in and dissected what he was looking at giving him technical data right in front of his face. He patiently and methodically looked over the structure as if he were a caring father checking on a small child. That though made him chuckle, he Joseph Ort-Meyer having children... but that was most assuredly another story for another time. As the track changed over onto the next album Beethoven's Symphony No. 9 began and brought him back to his work. Flipping it around again he found an undiscovered region that turned out to be nothing more than another roadblock.

Just as he turned the strand over again the computer said "Mr. Ort-Meyer you have a new video message..." Joseph walked back over to the large monitor touched the screen and opened the secure internet web server. "Restricted Access please enter security information." The computer chirped. "Ort-Meyer, Joseph Alexander Security Clearance Code Eclipse-Daystar-Omega-3-Clearance level: 10" he said in reply. A progress bar appeared on the screen as it compared his voice pattern and security code to pre-programed ones. Another chirped confirmed that he was in fact who he said he was. He pressed his finger against the screen soon a slender man appeared on screen.

“Sir… there is a problem… there has been an escape…” the man said hesitantly.

“Escape! No one has ever successfully escaped Lab 13! Deploy the Blood-Hounds to check the mountain and surrounding area immediately. If these prisoners are not found I will send you and all of your staff to the research station in Siberia!” Joseph yelled at the man, slamming his hand on the sleek metal console.

“I will return immediately. Inform Director Marek of our breach in security so that he may deploy the necessary hunter teams. If you two don’t find these creatures it will be both of your heads!” Joseph said as he closed the chat line abruptly not allowing time for the man to respond.

Joseph said nothing he walked over to the wall and placed his hand on a small pad which scanned his hand print. Once verified the wall slid open to reveal an entire locker filled with his choice weapons. He grabbed the usual allotment of 1911 pistols and two syringes both filled with some form of sedative. He slipped out of his shirt and placed his bulletproof vest underneath only to return the shirt a moment later. Once he had secured all of his gear and clothing he walked back out and placed his hand on the pad resealing the room. He walked out of his laboratory and placed his hand on another pad which slid down a metal door effectively locking his lab. "Computer, 1-7-3-4-6-7-3-2-1-4-7-6-Charlie-3-2-7-8-9-7-7-7-6-4-3-Tango-7-3-2-Victor-7-3-1-1-7-8-8-8-7-3-2-4-7-6-7-8-9-7-6-4-3-7-6-Lock" he said as he reached the top of the stairs to activate the security of the lab. As he exited through the door hidden in the bookcase in his library a number of red lasers flashed on. The computer system was created that if of the security measures were broken through the databases instantly wiped and the computer was set to self-destruct. The library door swung shut behind him as he grabbed his overcoat and gloves from the hallway closet. He exited the mansion he vacationed in and entered the waiting helicopter. A prototype Bad Man Weapon Systems had created for the U.S. military, it could house eight men and he had seven body guards. All of whom were trained in every type of combat and warfare known to man. While the Blood-Hounds were good for generally guarding his experiments he found he liked being around humans much more. His “team” expertly boarded the helicopter and then immediately took off for the secret mountain base.
