Safe House

"Oh good, so he'll just try to kill us after we've done the dirty work." Chloe said with a slight grin "Eh, we'll get to him before he can get to us"

Meanwhile Sarai felt anxiety build up in her chest. She wasn't sure if she was having a silent panic attack or not but she REALLY didn't feel comfortable wearing a uniform of the people who pretty much beat the crap out of her and many of the people she knew for YEARS. She knew it was stupid to connect a piece of clothing to such negative feelings but she couldn't push it away, it was making her feel nauseous.

The girl left the room for a moment, heading into the bathroom and splashing some water on her face. She watched her chest move up and down, like she had just run a marathon, she was panicking a bit.

"C-Calm doooowwwn" she told herself

Big MT

"Metal?" Melanie whispered, her hands growing very cold. She hadn't seen anything.... "Like a weapon....Or a person?"

Suddenly there was a loud noise, like something scraping on metal, and then a strange, booming voice echoed around them.

“Hello? Hello? Is this thing even on? You there! The meatbags! Can you hear me? Oh confound it all… do they even speak English? How do we know they’re intelligent enough to grasp the concept of language? They probably just grunt and spit!”

Nanami raised an eyebrow. The voice was… eccentric, to say the least.

“You! The ones with the, ugh, limbs. If you can understand even some of what I’m saying, come to the large silver dome! Hurry up! Don’t waste time. We have food and medicine. Do you understand food? Things you eat. Ugh. Why are we bothering to contact those bloated meatbags?”

[Safe House]

Connor saw Sarai sprint from the room and he quickly ran after her. He appeared in the doorway of the bathroom and looked to her. She was shaking and breathing so hard he was a bit afraid she would collapse.

“Sarai, what’s wrong?” Connor asked as he walked over to her.

Melanie jumped as there was a painfully loud sound of scraping metal....And then a voice. Obviously whoever it was knew they were here...

"W-Who are you?" Melanie called out, thinking nothing of engaging a big scary voice in conversation. After all if they were going to kill the group being quiet wouldn't stop them.

Once again, please be Bender

[Safe House]

Sarai didn't turn, instead she kept a deathgrip on the sink and looked at Connor through the reflection in the mirror. "I-I dunno" she told him truthfully, unable to catch her breath. She gave a little hiccup, and looked down into the sink. "I d-don't think I can do this" she managed, feeling her throat tighten. She gave a little choked sob, suddenly feeling a wave of heat (and a decent amount of embarrassment) come over her.

“Oh good; you CAN speak. You have some modicum of intelligence. Then listen to what I said and get to the dome. Immediately! I am Dr. Klein. Now do hurry up.”

The voice roared loudly. Nanami clutched her aching side and stood up, grimacing and clenching her eyes shut for a moment.

“I don’t know who this Dr. Klein is, but we need shelter. I say we go.”

[Safe House]

Connor frowned and he stepped forward, slipping his arms around Sarai and leaning against her. He sighed deeply and leaned his chin down on her shoulder.

“Sarai… you don’t have to do this. We can find a way to get you back to the rebels.”

Melanie was a bit wearily, but if Nanami trusted this voice then she would too.

Nanami probably didn't trust it....But she could kill it.

"Alright...." she said

[Safe House]

Sarai looked up when Connor came over to her, slipping his arms around her and resting his chin on her shoulder. She tried to force herself to calm down, but the girl found herself hyperventilating. Instantly she brought her hands up to cover her nose and mouth, choking on air. "I s-s-shou-shouldn't be s-sc-sc-afraid. It's stupid i-it's just s-some cl-clo-clothes"

Sarai suddenly closed her eyes tightly, muttering to herself. She couldn't think of anything else to do "C-Calm down calm d-d-down....Calm doooown...."

Nanami stood up, clutching her side and stumbling towards the large dome. She looked to the others and sighed slightly. “Whatever this voice is, don’t trust it. Stay alert constantly.”

[Safe House]

Connor blinked. It was the clothes that were bothering her? He paused and suddenly realized what was bothering her. He held her close.

“I know Sarai. I know how much it sucks for us to be dressed like the Enclave… but this is how we fight them. This is how we can stop the Enclave and have our happy future together…”

He kissed her cheek.

"Y-You're such a good boyfriend, putting up with th-this" Sarai mumbled, finally regaining her breath and dropping her hands. She instead moved to clutch her arms, digging her nails into her skin. "I-I really do wa-want to fight them. Autumn is re-really scary...R-Really....But he needs to go down. I just don't want someone to see us and th-think....That we're one of them."

Sarai had a panic attack just thinking about the Enclave, she didn't want to think of that terror other Avox would feel if they saw them--even in costume.

“I know…” Connor nodded, closing his eyes. The idea of impersonating the Enclave was terrible. People would see them and believe they were actually Enclave officials… people would mistakenly believe they were the same horrible people who had hurt Connor and Sarai so much.

“… I know it’s not a good situation… but this is how we’ll stop Autumn. This is how we’ll save ourselves, and everyone else… it’s important that we do this…”

Sarai gave a tiny nod, loosening her deathgrip on her own arms. By this point she had drawn blood where her nails dug in. "O-Okay, I trust you. I'm just scared a-as usual."

Sarai took a seat on the side of the tub, giving a tiny bitter laugh. "When I was in the Capitol a bunch of years ago right after becoming an Avox I used to think about all t-the ways I would kill Autumn and all of those terrible people...Kinda m-morbid I guess. I s-should be happy to do th-this"

Connor walked over and sat beside Sarai. His hands began to glow softly with golden light and he slipped them down on her arms, over the area where she’d scratched and drawn blood.

“I’m scared too.” Connor said, shaking his head. “I don’t want to do any of this… but we need to do it. We need to do it for our future… so we can have one.”

-Big MT-

Galv nodded, staying close to Melanie as the four headed to the dome, Galv carrying his supplies still.

He wondered what they would find...

-Safe House-

Edda frowned a little as Sarai and Connor headed off. He could tell Sarai was nervous, but he didn't know why, instead just turning his attention back to Chloe.

“I'm not saying we shouldn't watch out for Gallic... Even if the guy is sincere, the amount of pride the guy has means we'd have to walk on eggshells anyways... But the Eugene guy... I kind of just get the feeling he's like us. He just decided to believe Gallic, for whatever reason...” Edda said to Chloe, “I think Autumn did something to him too... Maybe Autumn killed the guy's parents too...”

[Big MT: Dome]

As they approached the door to the dome, it suddenly opened with a swishing sound. They were in a very small, cramped room with a vending machine and two doors opposite the one they came in. One was labeled “The Sink”, while the other was labeled “The Lab”.

The voice came over an intercom in the room. “We’ll be expecting you in The Lab.”

The corresponding door opened and Nanami slowly walked through it. As she did, she felt a strange calmness come over her. There was a faint humming like a machine, and she shook her head.

“Something strange is going on…”

Safe House

Sarai looked from her lap to Connor when he touched her arms, the girl giving a sheepish nod. "O-Okay" she mumbled, still not convinced she'd be able to do it when the time came...

"I-I really do want to have a future with you...I t-think it would be nice...A h-house, a....F-Family." She leaned against him, burying her head against his shoulder for a moment. Connor was warm...It was nice.

[...]

"Wouldn't be too shocked if he did" Chloe said, running her hand through her messy dark hair. She was quiet for a moment before giving a sigh. "Fine, we can play nice with this Eugene guy...But if he looks at us wrong can I snap his neck?"

She smiled, giving a puppy dog look. "Pllleeeeease?"

Big MT

As they walked through the doorway Melanie felt weird. Instantly she took Galv's arm rather than bringing her own up in defense.

[Big MT: The Lab]

As they entered the room with the strange hum and light blue glow, they found themselves in a large, circular rotunda. There were several doors along the room, and many tables with scientific equipment on them. There were dozens of computers, some desktops and some so large they took up the entire wall.

Suddenly a strange machine floated towards them. It had three view screens – two displayed eyes, one displayed a mouth… they were connected to a small pod that contained a brain.

“Augh. Looks at you all… all of those limbs… all that flesh and those ridiculous bones… blagh. How can creatures so ugly stand to survive?”

Nanami blinked. This was significantly weirder than she expected.

“I am Doctor Klein. Welcome to the Think Tank of Big Mountain. Now… first let me point out the obvious. This room contains a pacification field. You won’t be able to draw your weapons or attack me while you’re in here.”

Klein paused. “Now… let’s get down to business. Are you with those ruffians who are ruining my beautiful Big Mountain?”

[Safe House]

Connor leaned against Sarai and held her close. He wished that moments like this could last forever. He wished their future was here as opposed to just a dream…

“We’ll have it all Sarai… and it’ll be wonderful. I promise.”

After packing up the things and tools that Lavan had pulled out previously to get Nanami at least temporarily patched up (she wasn't out of the danger zone, not in the least, but she'd at least be able to move on her own in case of emergencies and would not be in danger from having herself destroyed from the inside by venom from giant stinging bugs), Lavan's attention was drawn by a sudden crater-wide announcement over the PA system, one that both insulted his presence here and imperiously lorded something over him.

And we all know that Lavan didn't do well with authority.

"... Bloated... Meatbags...? Ok, I can do with insults. But when they start to insult my intelligence, I'm going to take offense..."

So, brewing a lot of things in his head as usual, Lavan followed Cess and Nanami, every once in a while supporting the girl just in case she tried to do something too strenuous for her wounds to handle, and made way towards where the voices called them...

And finally, they were presented with the owner of one of these voices.

"... You call us meatbags, and THAT'S what you are?"

He was NOT expecting what was in front of him. A floating machine with a brain carefully set into a protective layer of see-through polymers, attached to a few floating screens that had eyes and a mouth displayed on said screens.

"Sure, let's get down to business, jar-face. If you're looking for someone who has been defending themselves from what looked like mindless zombie-people with guns, yes, that would be us. Note the defending part. They decided to take exception to our presence first, so I took exception to their exception and ended them with extreme prejudice. And lots of guns and explosives. So, can you tell me what the hell is going on here, screen-face?"

Now becomes the the past in an instant — and everyone will eventually die! Destiny triumphs over human knowledge and goes mad! That is the way of things! I spit upon this frail, crazed, world! I spit upon the Second Law of Thermodynamics!
~ Desty Nova, Karmatron Theory

Let them Label me! Let them swear and curse at me as I tug humanity like a bucking bull into the darkness of the unknown, revealing its secrets to the sane and driving them MAD! In ages long past, I shall be looked upon as a tyrant and a savior! As a savant and as a fool! My work shall advance humanity long past its time, throw it into the unknown future and force it to grow strong or FALL! Years from now, when I will inevitably be removed, my work shall continue to progress, because these things cannot be denied! Governments will publicly criticize my work, but privately conduct research that advances it! I shall imprint myself into the annals of history, among the stars that shine as brightly as Albert Einstein, Isaac Newton, Benjamin Franklin, Dmitri Mendeleev, Nikola Tesla, and countless others! My work will shine as brightly as any star, and I AM ITS CREATOR!!!
