"Need ya in the casino, Git goin and bust those big bags. And I ain't talkin bout yer go nads." She laughed
"Yes miss Holmes." I said flatly as the monitor went off One time my pants split fixing a light and some how she get's it on video!

As I was dealing cards the lights went low "Presenting Oscillate the ocelot!" As the curtain opened, we saw a figure, wearing a face covering helmet wearing battered pants held up with electric wire and a torn baggy jacket missing a sleeve, with tape over most of they're exposed arm which held a plasma rifle
"What the hell? That's not Oscillate!" Toronto said into the staff ear piece across the system, I could see security make they're way to the stage discretely
"Oh I bet none of you even care." The figure spoke in a digitally distorted voice pointing the rifle into the crowd "None of you care that this is going on! You're too busy stuffing your faces, and living in corpulence! Well I've come up here to bring you pigs back to earth with the rest of us! Where the real hand of fate is quite apparent." They shot off they're rifle into the ceiling and the crowd ran for the doors only to be stopped by another shot near one "NOBODY LEAVES!!!" They screamed "You live up here in Shangri la! BUT DO YOU DESERVE IT!?" They screamed as they shot a slot machine
"I DON'T THINK SO!!!" hit a button on the stage, normally meant for performers, as it put a light on Oscillate, she was tied to a support beam with her mouth gagged, the figure walked towards her "Pretty isn't she? Now watch! Watch as I strip the beauty from your "heavenly forms"!" The person said sarcastically taking out a ray gun that fit in they're hand while keeping the plasma rifle in they're other hand trained on the guards, The figure put the gun to Oscillate's head and she winced in fear as the Figure charged the gun, it shot a fast beam into Oscillate's neck, she flinched as the gun lost it's glow the figure looked at Oscillate before growling "WHAT!? Why isn't this fucking thing working!?" They yelled, but the guards rushed, but the figure raised they're rifle at the guards again "STAY BACK!!!" They yelled, as they put the ray to they're own neck "I'm not giving you the satisfaction of holding me captive again." The gun charged and fired off into they're neck, the kick from the gun was so forceful it sent the figure back and into the back drop and sent them falling on they're face, the guards grabbed them tying the person up

There was a meeting of the staff, it was truly rare that we went into miss Holmes's office but this seemed to be priority one "I want to know what I just saw." Toronto said
"We have no idea how they got through." Someone from security said
Candace stepped forward "Why is it Gregory is here? What part could he play in this?" Candace asked Toronto
"He was there, the very day I put him on the floor we get attacked by a mask manic." Toronto said
"Are you saying I had something to do with it? Because I'm human?" I asked
"I doubt it. But I'm not ruling out the possibility you've been compromised. That somebody's managed to copy your access and used you as an in." Toronto said
"But how's that possible?" Olivia asked
"If I knew then we wouldn't have a crazy person in the meat locker. A crazy person that asked to see Gregory Wilmont specifically, by name." Toronto said
We were all shocked me especially "We have no reason to give into they're demands." Candace said
"And if we don't we can't find out what just happened in my casino." Toronto said
"Don't I get a say?" I asked
"If you want to keep you're job you'll see them. But don't worry, while that whack job was passed out we took any remaining weapons they had, but obviously we didn't find any identification on them." Toronto explained "Also they're chained up, so I doubt you'll be in much danger." Toronto said
I gulped, I went to the meat locker where Candace was ready to open the door for me, at my nod she opened it and closed it behind me per the stranger's demand "Okay, I'm here. What do you want with me?"
Before me was the stranger, from now I could tell it was a woman with a more feminine shape then I remembered, she sat on her knees with her arms over her head held by chains on the ceiling made to hold entire cow carcasses, she had long hair, it was blonde with a streak of pink that started from the top widened and dominated the whole bottom end of her hair the further down the streak went, as she glared at me she had snake eyes, despite a fuzz on her face she looked mostly human, she glared at me and spoke "Why do you- what..." she said in disbelief "What-what's happened to me!?" She demanded to know
"You're chained up. You just tried to kill somebody." I said
"WHAT HAPPENED TO MY BODY!!!" She yelled "I don't sound anything like this!" She shook angrily
I was surprised by that "Okay, I have to know, why are you here? What do you want with me?" I asked
"Look at us! They're up there living like gods! You and me down here in the real world, our lives dominated by them. We have no purpose without them and they enjoy it that way!" She said
"Things can be tough but... I have some friends here." I said
"Friends!?" She laughed "But are they equals? Who is the master in the relationship?" She asked
"Well... okay they're in charge but-"
"BUT NOTHING!!! We live and die by they're hands, anything in between is of they're will and our consequence." She said
"Look um... what's your name?" I asked
"Three, Seven, One, Five." She said
"What?" I asked
"That's the only name I've known. It's on my arm." She pointed her eyes at the bandage over her arm "By now I'm guessing you know I'm a test subject. A lab "rat" if you will." She said
"You've been experimented on your whole life?" I asked
"Bingo." She said coldly "When I could escaped I did. I came here to destroy the heart of this horrid world at it's heart." She said
"It-it's not all bad." I said
"GREG!!!" I heard a yell from my ear piece
"Miss Holmes?" I asked
"Get out of there right now! Oscillate's just reacted to the effect of that ray gun and that freak used it to! Get out now!" Toronto said
"What'd it do to her?" I asked
Toronto as said it I could see the changes happen to Three Seven One Five and I could see her change in a more animalistic way but more frightening was...
