Dean & Sam

The lab was buzzing. The awakening of a new batch of denki caused a stir. The standard greeting blared from the speakers. Lab technicians carefully monitored the organisms' reactions, recording every step. They had to decide whether the denki were fit for work or would have to be destroyed.

Dean looked at his brother, who was passionately working on a new project—denki with copies of earthlings' consciousnesses. He was irritated by Sam's excessive interest in lesser beings.

"Dean, what are you doing here? " Sam raised an eyebrow when he spotted his brother. From the frown on Dean's face, he realized he'd come to check up on him. "Father sent you. Do whatever you want, but don't interfere with my work."

"I'm here to check for any illicit connections with the rebels. I'm not interested in your test tubes, " Dean said, approaching the capsule and tapping on the glass. The creature, resembling a Kandorian snow leopard, recoiled in fear.

"Don't scare them, " Sam stepped closer and started the briefing. "Your presence isn't needed here."

“I’ll decide for myself whether my intervention is necessary, ” Dean crossed his arms.

A mechanical voice came over the speakers: "Sector A1058: Power module outer casing breach. Responsible personnel required."

Sam tensed up and called the lab assistant: — Find someone to repair the module in this sector.

The lab technician nodded and headed towards the living quarters.

"Doesn't each sector have its own technical team? " Dean squinted.

"The group servicing this sector disappeared in the snow a week ago, and a new batch isn't ready yet, " Sam replied.

"I'll handle this sector myself, and then I'll get things in order here. Your subordinates, the Irbis and the Denki, can't handle it. " Dean activated the armor, then pointed to two Denki carrying boxes in the corridor. "You two come with me. We need to fix the module. " Dean activated the armor and headed for the lab exit to prepare the capsule for launch, not waiting for a reaction, because the Denki must obey without question.

"I'm coming with you too, " Sam stated stubbornly.
