The Professor's Creature

Subject: I need your help!
Dear former “Participant”,
You demonstrated considerable courage when you decided to
meet me in
my old lab. You didn't know what to expect and what I would
have done to you once we would have stood eye to eye. I was very
impressed! Unfortunately, we were not able to meet since you
brought my old colleagues from the Chemistry Department on me and I
had to leave the place in great a hurry. For me that means that you
owe me (at least) one favor!
What you did not know was that I was just about to bring an
artificially constructed creature to life and needed a great deal
of your blod help for the finishing touch. Sadly,
in leaving my lab so quickly, in order not to be caught by this
bunch of mean and envious people, I could not finish my greatest
work.
Shortly after my leave I returned to the lab to collect some of my
most important equipment. It was then that I discovered that the
container in which I had grown the creature was EMPTY! The last
weeks I was of the opinion that my former colleagues had taken the
creature with them and brought it to life themselves. However, if
that would have been the case the whole world would have heard of
it by now. The only possible explanation is that the creature came
to life all by itself and escaped from the lab by own means. I am
absolutely clueless on how that can have happened!
In any case, I now need your help! And don't forget: YOU OWE ME
ONE! The creature is potentially very dangerous. Under regular lab
conditions everything would have been under control. Since it came
alive all alone there is no way of guessing how it turned out.
Currently, it is far to dangerous for me to go back into the city
center. Therefore, I need you to go back in my old lab and search
for any possible signs that might have been left by the creature.
Start by searching the box in which I had stored my secret formula.
But be aware! It might not be at the place you first found it. The
creature is unpredictable!
Once you have found signs of the creature you should follow them as
far as you can. Try to find the creature and notify me here about
your success. I will not be able to communicate by any other means
than by the messaging board on this page.
Be careful! This part is far more dangerous and difficult than
coming to look for me in my lab. Don't take any unnecessary risks
and don't attempt to find the creature alone. A minimum of two
people is required.
Yours sincerely,
Dan Sylveste
