Summary: Matt's pissed
Status: Complete
He had missed it, somehow. How had he missed an entire person being shipped in? Why had it been scheduled on his off shift? He stared at the monitor where he'd been watching Lily clean the kitchen ... and he'd seen someone else showing up. Someone he had not requested. Someone, in fact, he'd requested to not be there.
He glanced over to where Sam was sitting, where she was pretending not to notice what he'd just discovered.
"You overrode me," he said in a flat voice.
"I requested, and was approved. I don't think it's a good idea t--"
"You. Overrode. Me."
"They agreed!" Sam protested, turning to face her coworker. "You're not my superior, Matt. We're equals in this. And I didn't think it was fair to completely eliminate the option of ... of having something available. There's nothing to say he can or will do it, but the option should be there. You can't unfairly cripple them like that, Matt. It disrupts the integrity of the experiment. Just like gassing them did. It wasn't fair. Those girls shouldn't have died. They wouldn't have, if ... if they'd had a fair shot at things."
"You don't know that. You can't know that," Matt snapped back at her. "Maybe more of them would have died because they hadn't gotten enough sleep. At least they were rested." For the most part, at any rate. Some of them hadn't responded, which was moderately worrisome. All it took was for one thread to start unraveling and the whole blanket would come undone.
Clearly, he'd have to get Jason to start paying closer attention to who was and wasn't responding to the gasses.
Still, they had a week where they weren't touching their little rats. A week of nothing, and then ...
Matt exhaled as he tried to calm himself. So what. So what if she brought in someone he hadn't wanted in? So what? He might not make the potion. Or they might not be able to find the ingredients after tonight. Though maybe that was unfairly crippling them.
