Colonel Karnes

Karnes couldn't sleep so he decided to catch up on watching some vid-caps.

"That'll put me to sleep," he thought as he reached for his cigarettes. After an hour or so he was ready for bed. As he snuffed out his fourth cigarette something caught his eye.

"What's this?" he asked aloud.

Colonel Karnes dialed in the clarity until he could make out the details. His eyes narrowed and he said...
"Z-Lab 41?"

Karnes flicked on the vid-com.
"Hansen!"
The bleary eyed Lt. stared back from the screen.
"Sir!"
"I'm opening this feed to you now. I want all the vid-caps 24 out before and after this on my console ASAP!" he snapped.
"Yes sir!"
"Now lieutenant!" Karnes flipped off his vid-com. The COG Colonel rubbed his chin then reached for his cigarettes. He pulled the vid-cap back up on his screen and checked the date.
Twenty four hours before Timlin had led his mission into the lab.
Who were these people, he thought, as he took a drag from his smoke.
The red light flashed on. The info was available.
Hansen had cherry-picked the vid-caps and enhanced the most relevant ones. Intel would pour over the rest but right now he needed answers and he got what he needed.
"Billy," he said to himself.
