Tempist the Uncaring

Somewhere, in a nearly deserted area of a nondescript planet, stands a building. Nothing too special, no distinguishing characteristics other than one word on the outside of the building. "Manticore". Nothing more, nothing less.
Outside was a path, leading to two double doors. A shrouded man walked this road, and entered through the doors. No reason to make any holes now after all. This man had come here for a reason, a tip from an old friend about something in particluar. No, not somthing, someone.
He made his way through the various rooms of the building, taking note of where he was. He stumbeled accross another set of double doors, these ones locked shut with a chain and padlock. This was easily remadied, a quick flash of black light sliced through with ease. He kicked the doors in, and looked around. There were many tall cilinders, filled with a clearish green liquid. Most of them were otherwise empty, and dark, aside from one tube. This one had life, and electricity flowing thorugh to keep it running.
The man put a hand on the glass tube, and looked over it's contents; a fairly young looking girl with bright red hair. She was attractive, yes, and very familiar to him. An old friend of his...
This dark figgure pressed a few buttons on the outside of the cilinder, and the fluid slowly drained out, leaving the woman alone there. He pressed another series of buttons, and the tube rose into the ceiling, leaving the young lady on the ground. The man lifted her up, and brought her into the next room, laying her down on an operating table. Her body was cold, and limp. She'd died quite some time ago.
But death is seldom perminant.
He closed his eyes, and remembered the items he needed for this procedure; electric prods, a suringe, and a vial of a rare chemical. None of them would be hard to find, not in this lab atleast. At one time, this had been one of the best labs in the universe.
He scavenged through the shelves and drawers untill he located the surringe and prods, He placed them down on the tray next to her body, and then looked in the cold room for a certian substence. His fingers brushed over most of them, but stopped on a chemical called "R-18-6"... the elixer of life.
He smiled, and carefully brought it back to the girl. He stabbed the needle into the vial's soft rubber lid, and drew the plunger, takng in as much as he could. He then carefully injected it into the girl's chest, straight into her heart. This gave a kickstart to her organs, but not her brain.
He carefully, but quickly, brought the prods up to her ears, and switched them on. A shot of high voltage electricity was sent through her body, straight into her brain. The shocks lingered there, and quickly cought on to her entire cortex. He switched it off, and watched as she lay there. Lungs breathing again. Heart beating again. She seemed to be stiring again as well. "This is going to be interesting..." Tempist thought to himself.
