Solomon had sent the fake data files out and the longer the week went the edgier she got. Every noise, every movement of a shadow set her nerves and reflexes to screaming. Alexis didn’t socialize much, but it was to none by the middle of the week. She was either totally immersed in her work or totally unable to focus because everything startled her. Their quarters and the R&D lab was the only places she was willing to go. And the Arboretum because of Frigga. She refused to let GALEN lead her there and back. “GALEN lock my work station.” She patted her leg and Frigga got up and followed her out and they headed to the arboretum.Less than half an hour later, Alexis and Frigga were back in the lab. It had been a week, and they were well into the second week. She and Solomon didn’t think that it would take Soulis more than 2 weeks to make his plan and come for the orange. As she re-entered the lab her gaze fell on the containment unit and the orange inside of it - still in it’s place. Alexis moved back to her work station. =/\=GALEN unlock my work station.=/\= There was a shimmering flash as the forcefields came down and then she walked over to her table and reached for the ear buds, only to realize that she’d never taken them out. She took them out and set them down. They probably were more hinderance now than help. If Soulis walked into the lab she’d never know until it was too late, the sound of foot steps and the door working filtered out by the program. Frigga moved and curled up under the table. She missed her work and visiting the patients, but Alexis wouldn’t let her go anywhere without her or the steak keeper now.

The doors to the lab slid open and Kane walked in. He looked at Bonner and said “Secure all of that and let’s go. C’mon, no time to waste asking questions. Just do it.”
Kane, CSO
Alexis looked up, wary, as the doors opened and immediately relaxed at who it was. Frigga bumped her leg as she passed her, responding to his ‘let’s go.’ Alexis quickly put away materials and samples and turned off the machines and her computer. “GALEN secure my work station.” She walked over to Kane and Frigga and went out the door with them.
