"Anything could happen if you work for it"

The laboratory is surrounded by alarming lights, turning red and yellow all at once, while the soldiers were charging down the seventh aisle to the right, thundering beneath the staircase that boasted white walls and grey tiled floors. Knowing someone had escaped their animal cage, a sense of urgency filled the air. Dr. Theel, the head scientist of the laboratory, and the High Evolutionary quickly gathered his team and began strategizing a plan to capture the escaped individual.

The laboratory was a maze of corridors filled with various scientific equipment and animal cages. It was well-guarded, but somehow, someone had managed to break free. The alarming lights highlighted the seriousness of the situation as red and yellow hues flickered, creating an atmosphere of chaos.

The soldiers, dressed in their heavily equipped gear, sprinted down the aisles as though in pursuit of dangerous prey. Their footsteps echoed loudly, shaking the ground beneath the grey-tiled floors. The white walls seemed to close in as the tension grew. The *High Evolutionary is a geneticist who sought to create a perfect species out of what he viewed as lower life forms and build his utopia. 

Founding his own research company, OrgoCorp, as a front for his genetic engineering experiments, he was responsible for creating numerous lifeforms across the galaxy. With the intent to form a flawless civilization evolved from animals for Counter-Earth, High Evolutionary abducted and illegally became creatures of any kind that seemed to interest.*

Now, he was enraged, mad, and fearful and yet hid it confidently by taking charge of the situation while he yelled through the speakers: "CATCH THE DAMN SUBJECT 35R89, NOW!!" 

"Yes, sir!" The soldiers immediately reply in one swift word.

"HOW CAN THIS BE THE SECOND TIME A RACOON ESCAPES?! How!?" The High-Evolutionary angrily yells and whines before clenching his metal fists. 

Dr. Theel, observing the High Evolutionary's frustration, steps forward with a calm demeanor. "Sir, it appears we underestimated the intelligence and cunning of these test subjects. They seem to have adapted to their environment and found a way to exploit our security measures."

The High Evolutionary's face turns red with anger as he interrupts, "I don't want excuses; I want results! Find that female raccoon and bring it back to its cage by any means necessary!"

Dr. Theel nods, understanding the urgency of the situation. He quickly instructs the soldiers to divide into smaller teams and search each laboratory section. "We need to be thorough in our search," he says, "Check every nook and cranny, leave no stone unturned."

As the soldiers disperse, the laboratory becomes a hive of activity. Metal clangs against metal as cages are checked for any signs of tampering. The scientists join the search, their eyes scanning the area for any hint of the missing test subject.

Let me introduce you to the 'missing test subject'; her newfound name is Rachel, also known as 35R89. She is a furry creature with black-grey fur resembling a raccoon. Her hair is mostly gray, and she has a black mask with a bushy black and white tail. It was strange for Rachel to be born with pitch-orange eyes instead of black, making her unique to the illegal experimental doctors. While running around in circles, she felt a surge of adrenaline, and her heart raced. 

However, Rachel soon realized that her paws were hurting due to the stamina she had expended: 

' I need to get out of here! If I keep this up, the soldiers will surely take away my freedom now...Where are the damn escape pods?.... THERE IT IS!' 

The little female raccoon thought with her light orange pupils filled with hope. She grins before using her thinking abilities to get out of the hell hole Rachel had to put up with since she had been chosen to have been experimented on other than her brethren. Rachel thought her genius intellectual mind would not help her escape plan, but she didn't know it would work.

Needless to say, Rachel was ecstatic about that. She entered one of the escape pods and ejected herself from the laboratory. As the escape pod shoots out, Rachel feels fear and exhilaration. She watches the laboratory shrink in size through the pod's glass window, knowing she has finally broken free from her captors.

As the pod floats through space, Rachel takes a moment to catch her breath and reflect on her journey. She remembers the countless experiments and tests she endured, the pain and suffering she went through, and the desperate longing for freedom. As she floats weightlessly in the escape pod, Rachel feels a glimmer of hope for a better future.

Once the female raccoon escapes through 50 space-jumps away with no coordinates as to where she can go now, Rachel hopes to be as far away as possible. For now, Rachel rests herself against her seat by pressing the 'AUTO-PILOT' button and sighs in relief before staring at the stars.
