Didn't care really, his whole world had just been shattered. Little else seemed to matter at the moment but to wallow in grief. However, the beef man showed up and spoke in his usual simple manner, bearing a gift of meat. When the beef man went away 9 inspected the meat, disappointed to find it cooked. Yet, a saying that he had learned from his time with these soft skins came floating into his mind. [i]"Beggars can't be choosers."[/i], 9 couldn't argue with that logic and tore into the meat, messily devouring it until it was just the bone. Testing out his new hands, 9 wrapped them around the large bone and snapped it in half. Using his long, prehensile tongue 9 quickly cleared the bone of marrow and found himself satisfied. With nothing better to do, 9 sat up and began to move out of his cage. If the beef man was about, than that meant that 9 wasn't back in the old prison but that didn't explain the dozen or so guards that were stationed at his cage. Perhaps web chest did not trust him? The thought troubled 9 given the fact that he almost died protecting both him and the others. Shrugging it off for now, 9 promised himself he would bring it up later. As 9 moved, he couldn't help but marvel at the body he found himself in. He felt himself move through the sprawled out guards who had become unconscious not long after their sobbing fit. Reminding himself of his pain, 9 stuffed it deep down into his core. Now was not the time for mourning, that would come later...or never. Activating a sort of mental vault, 9 locked away the memories of his fallen kin and soon forgot why he was sad in the first place. Adding a little more speed to his step, 9 moved towards were he felt his allies life signatures were. However he was given nasty looks and murmurs from the guards that he passed. Curious, why was so much distrust pointed towards him? Was it not 9 who defended not only the others but their precious web chest? Giving a grunt of disapproval, 9 continued on his way until he was met with an obstacle. As 9 neared the room that he knew to be filled with his allies, several men held 9 up. They said "Halt! Who let you out of your cage beast?" Taken back, 9 quickly recovered and sent out a message to the intolerant, annoying, and downright rude pair in front of him, [i]"The only beast I see is the two in front of me. Now move out of the way, my friends are behind that door."[/i] Before the two dazed men could react, 9 pushed them out of his way before using his bottom pair of arms to open the large door. The sight in front of him was a little odd, the group seemed to be in a counsel of sorts. What the spoke of, 9 didn't know. With his presence known, 9 sent out a message of greetings out to each and every one of his allies present and then fallowed up with an inquiry, [i]"It seems that I am late for whatever this is, but please inform me of what I missed."[/i] It was only now that 9 noticed his new voice. The old one was just a generic, masculine tone that would get his point across to others. But this, this was much different. His new voice sounded refined and regal, in a sense. It was pleasing to the ears so to speak. While it was definitely sounded different, 9 assumed that part of web chest's speech rubbed off on him. Giving a second to reflect on this, 9 just shrugged and decided he liked this new surprise that came with this body.
