Chapter Text
Blackrock, it's cold outside as always and filled with craz scientists. At RD's apartment. Force field was invited for his little proyect outside of Blackrock's program and was just arriving, placing his coat on the coat hanger.
•**THUD** RD hurried to greet force field, tripping over a lamp. —"hii hello my DEAR coworker!! Here I have-" then, he started rambling about his new proyect;
.
.
Force field didn't listen for most of the explanation, reaching RD's office and staring at a biograft, laying powered off on the floor, it's camera and tracker soaked in a bucket of water and crushed, the machine connected to RD's laptop —"RD." He called out. —"yes, my DEAR coworker???" RD responded, hovering behind him as the other walked closer —"I believe this the worst thing you've done, you're going too far.." RD limited himself to smile, walking past the other and grabbing the biograft, hauling the machine up and making it strike a pose by grabbing it's limbs and smiling —"it won't, my dear coworker. . . It'll be my greatest achievement, trust me.. plus, it was freshly taken from a scrapyard, a bit damged but it works!!!" He let go of the machine, letting it fall with a loud thud, apparently not caring for it's condition, too invested in force field
—"AND FOR THE LOVE OF SFOTH STOP CALLING ME DEAR COWORKER" force field complained, walking towards the computer to look at whatever the other was doing before he arrived, clicking around before turning back to RD who was looking outside at the street before turning to him again
.
.
—"my LOVELY coworker then... Don't you think this will be great? We could gain the same fame as subspace or any great scientist" RD paused pondering before continuing —"think of it, the great RD and his WONDERFUL assistant!!" He placed one arm over force field's shoulder, gesturing at the sky... or rather roof before the other pulled away, —"this will only get you killed, this.." they gestured to the biograft, walking over and kicking it lightly —"this is just a risk, a thing you'll regret someday. And you'll be hated by at least someone. . . Or something."
—"so be it" RD responded, shrugging force field's yapping off, as he neared the biograft, dragging it to the chair and gesturing for force field to help sit it in the chair, the other accepting reluctantly before helping, backing away after finishing the task —"I have a bad feeling, RD" and RD ignored It, stepping closer to it and turning it around, opening the biograft's back compartment as the dim light of outside seeped into the room, highlighting RD's and the biograft's features
—"isn't like this Illegal?" He stared at RD who responded —"indeed, but it was already scrapped so isn't it supposed to be put of the system by now?" RD then proceeded to bite one of his fingers, drawing blood and then smearing it on the open compartment as Force field only stared in mild disgust —"why." He simply asked, receiving no answer before RD leaned over the computer and typed some other lines and grabbed the biograft —"are you ready, darling?" He paused for a second, a very weak attempt to calm Force field —"plus, if it goes wrong we can always throw it away and scrap it a second time" he winked
—"you're always do worried my dear coworker, you should stop worrying so much" he smirked before adding —"or was thieves den really that dangerous when you lived there?"
"are you seriously bringing this up now?" He walked closer to Rd, crossing his arms —"we should probably test 'that' later, it's too late and I'd rather not wake up your neighbors with... This" he gestured lightly to him and the biograft, his expression of mild disgust as Rd shrugged at him, responding —"maybe we can ignore my neighbors" He said as he leaned down to stare at the machine. Force field only stared, rolling their eyes so hard it felt like they might fall off his skull

suddenly it's vision was back, two figures stood Infront of it with a dim light coming from behind them.
—"bG9vayEhIEl0IHdvcmtlZCEhIFNlZT8gSSB0b2xkIHlvdSBpdCB3b3VsZCwgbm93IHdlIGp1c3QgaGF2ZSB0bw—" one of the figures spoke, the shorter figure shook the taller one. It's vision was blurry and missed the right half of it while not feeling one of it's arms, it could just watch for now apparently. —"IEkgdGhpbmsgeW91IHNob3VsZCBzdG9wIGhlcmUgYW5kIGdvIHRvIHNsZWVwLCBpdCdzIGxhdGUu" the other figure cut off, seemingly shifting it's head towards the other, the tone sounding akin to irritation. Yet it couldn't distinguish the words they spoke, leaving it to try guessing based on tones

RD grinned as the biograft came to 'life' it's lights weakly flickering with it's signature orange hue. RD clapped their hands together and looked at force field—"now it is time.. to-" he was rapidly cut off by force field who looked almost disgusted, his expression darkening for a bit before sighing —"tomorrow. It's too late and I don't want to wake up your neighbors as I said, id rather stay out of trouble right now." RD limited to staring and shrugging —"first, I've slept less and my neighbors can take it... I bet there's something louder than me testing out my proyect" force field just rolled his eyes before walking up to the computer and turning it off, the biograft turning off in sync with it, RD seemed annoyed as he huffed before walking out of the room

Then, something kicked it.
