Let her go!
Darling we’re so sorry, we...
'Sorry’ doesn’t cut it! What are you doing back here? The Government shut this place down!
We needed a place to work.
Whats going on?
As you know, before you were... before you came along, we worked with Dr. Koenig here.
We were trying to find a way for living cells to absorb energy more efficiently, bypass the whole metabolic process. It was a dead end. We went on to another project
Me.
Yes. While Koenig continued his research.
He experimented on himself. You see the results.
I achieved my goal, I gained the ability to absorb mass from other objects; their atomic structure collapses, I become tougher. Unfortunately, I ended up with some unpleasent side-affects; I can’t stop the process.
Soon he won’t be able to move, he’ll become a living statue.
That’s why he stole those things, so we could build this chamber, and force the cure into his skin under pressure.
Why help him at all?
Simple self-interest. Show her. If your parents don’t cure me, I’ll push this button. Three minutes later, those collars will inject them with poison.
I can brake those in a second.
Ah, but if you even try, they’ll go off, and I’m the only one who knows the deactivation code.
Your sick!
Agreed. Now lets get to work.
