Area 52 or Shit happens
2011: "Damn it," Marc cursed, "Shit!" Horrified, he looked around to see if anyone from the college had seen him. Obviously not, they were all out to lunch, at least that. The whole vial had burst. That wasn't the worst of it, the worst of it was that he had opened the window earlier - against the rules. It was a hot summer day and the greenhouse was still heating up despite all the technology. Surely that couldn't be true. He looked around again. Chances were he would be able to get rid of everything before the others noticed...
2013: "Oh, let's go a little further, it's so wonderful here," Keiko tried to convince him. Sighing he gave in, he just couldn't refuse her anything, besides this hike was actually too long for him already and they still had to go back. But she looked so excited and it was nice here, really remote. Pretty adventurous area, no one really came here anymore, at least not since the research center had been closed. "I think it smells wonderful," she interrupted his thoughts, "kind of like flowers, but I wouldn't know what they are, I've never smelled anything like that before." Well, that should mean something with her, after all she was a perfumer. Now he noticed it too: there really was something strangely floral in the air. "It's getting more that way," she cried, "come, I must find out where it comes from!" She disappeared into the undergrowth. Immediately afterwards he heard her cry out. He rushed after her and almost cried out too: She was standing under several huge blossoms as tall as trees, like magenta funnels hanging down from above. If the one she was looking up at had fallen off, it would have completely covered Keiko like a magic-hat-shaped tent. Inside, the flowers had other colors, pink, orange, brown, and white. Now he stood under one as well, looking high into it - suddenly it was as if he was looking into the eyes of the snake Ka. "Listen to me, trust me..." Oh, God, and that scent - he had to be careful not to get immediately lost in it, slump to the ground, and find himself in a dream world from which he might never wake up.
Rooted to the spot, they both stood there now, staring upwards. These plants could not be of this world. This only slightly sweet and extremely intense floral scent made the green of the forest around them, the already withering grass smelling aromatic in the sun, and even the green freshness carried by the wind from the nearby creek seem like a paltry weakening breath. Not even the resin of the old trees came through worth mentioning.
Suddenly, they both moved again at the same time. "Let's get out of here, maybe they're poisonous," he wanted to say. But the sentence stuck in his throat. Keiko was truly swinging a huge branch after all. She was obviously going to knock off one of those crazy giant magic hat flowers. Gleefully, she called out to him, "Awesome! THAT'S going to be a perfume!"
He held his hands over his eyes.
