As you arrived at the research facility, the three of you were escorted to the back courtyard where the tiger was waiting. He smiled up at you and watched as you gently set your lion friends down.
"I'm glad you came." Dr. Rathmorse said as he greeted you and your friends. He must have seen the look on Korumu's face, causing him to clear his throat and continue. "I'll cut to the chase. The serum was still very experimental, as such we actually have no idea what might happen to you. Most of the others showed increased aggression, and decreases in their cognitive functions. Some actually ate others within the community. While other did some... less appropriate things."
"So you're saying, my friend could randomly snap and go berserk?! That he might suddenly become aggressive and harm others?!" You could hear the outrage in Korumu's voice.
"Korumu," you paused as he looked up at you. You give him a reassuring smile. "it's going to be alright. I mean, I'm still me after all." You say before gently putting your friend's head with your index finger.
Dr. Rathmorse clears his throat again. "While that is the case for the time being, I would like to get some blood samples so that we can study what all this might do. I'd also like to get a MRI, CT and other tests to get a baseline on you at your size."
You agree and soon regret it. Korumu and Lissa were escorted outside and off the property. That was a last you saw of them. Dr. Rathmorse said they were welcomed to visit any time they wished. Days turned to weeks. Weeks into months.
Locked away in a large holding cell, you rarely got to leave it. Only when it was time for new tests and blood work. When you asked, the doctor always told you that it was for your safety and everyone else's as there was no knowing when you might go feral. You would claw small tics into the wall, keeping track of the days.
Month 5, day 25...
You thought about breaking out.
Month 7, day 4...
You had tracked the comings and goings of everyone at the facility.
