His hands flexed slightly away from sight, his eyes moving to the desk for a moment as his mind whirled again with details and possibilities that would take someone hours to mull over. He had made a decision to put his demons to rest, which meant that he had to come clean with Moretti fully and that would be the only way he could expect the man to trust him fully. Of course, that plan had faltered with Megan, but that was neither here nor there.
"I'm sorry, I'm Stanley May, one of those supposedly dead researchers. I forget you've had a lot of employees. I was a student at ASU at the time, Advanced Scientific Applications in biochemistry. I was working on a project dealing with how certain compounds fortified the cell walls and increased energy output. I was working in the labs and I was the one who found the illegal project."
Indeed, the cat was out of the bag and he had to follow through now. He took a deep breath and adjusted the coat he wore if only slightly, he was still developing a poker face..it was obvious this next part was not his favorite. But he still needed to be courageous, if so only he could look at himself in the mirror the next day and know that he had spent two years out in the world finding a man worth knowing.
"I was the one who caused the explosion, though accidentally and I believe someone exacerbated the event. Someone had paid off part of the security, I believe, into protecting the cloning program and I was chased into the access tunnels. I rigged some equipment to self-destruct, but obviously something much bigger happened. I want you to know that I didn't want to have to result to that, but my life was in danger and I didn't know if I'd be able to inform you or the authorities."
He actually went a little over-board in the sabotaging of the system, but he figured it sounded better when he didn't know better and didn't expect the resulting explosion. Which, he didn't expect what he had read about..but he figured that the radiation and chemicals involved were extremely volatile. Advanced science was hard to predict when you threw in split-second variables and were dealing with previously unheard-of methods.
