Once they were awake, Daboia could feel her Hydras sliding across her head-crest, their worm-like bodies stretching out and tasting the air with long, silvery tongues. The parasites were just as disoriented as their host. It had been a struggle, but the Gorgon was now seated up on the edge of her pod, her claws gripping the side to keep her from falling to the floor. Her head swayed back and forth in vertigo, or the worse migraine in history. It would take awhile before her eyes adjusted to the lights. They were so alarmingly bright, now that the glass wasn't there to cover them up. Black spots dotted her vision whenever she raised her head, which felt as if it weighed a thousand pounds. An immense pressure had built up inside her scalp, and it wasn't because of the snakes that currently adorned it.

For some reason, Daboia couldn't help but sense some sort of urgency building up inside her. It was a primal reflex, maybe, but for some reason she knew she needed to heal up quickly. Needed to get out of here. It didn't make any sense to her; She'd wanted to discover the Pyramid herself, and now here she was. Why run away from what her decoding had all boiled down towards? Still, Daboia didn't seem to have a choice in the matter. Something was very wrong about this place. Whether a creation of the Goddesses or something far darker, her own life could depend on her means of escape.

Placing pressure on her tail, she made to stand up and leave, and instead crumpled to the floor. She hissed in pain as she slammed against a tiled, metallic ground, her tail limply spread out behind her. The sudden impact shrank back her Hydras, reacting to the sharp sound. The Gorgon stayed that way for quite some time, her breathing shallow and tired, suddenly exhausted despite however long she'd been contained in the pod. Her claws groped against the ground, straining to find a hand hold on the slick, smooth metal under her. She found the leg of a pod adjacent to her own, and leaned against it before pushing herself upright again.

This time she coiled her tail under her, balancing her weight. She ran her hand across her forehead, a cluster bomb of a head ache beginning to pound through her skull. It was then that she noticed the figure in the glass she stood next to.

<What is this?> She spoke aloud, for the first time in ages perhaps. Her voice was weak and dry; It hurt to talk and she clutched at her throat for a moment before looking back at the figure. It was asleep, much like she had been not long ago. A strange creature with a single tail much like her own, but its seemed far less sinuous and strong. Its tail was split at the end into two fins, the same sort she would have seen on a fish or some other sea critter back on Drellm. She approached its resting place warily, unsure what she was looking at. It lacked a chest, having a flat, wide front. Its arms ended with hands that had far too many fingers. And its head... she wasn't sure what to compare that to. It looked squashed for some reason; Its eyes were far too beady.

What drew her attention most was the complete and utter lack of any Hydras. Not a single worm had grown from its crest, which she assumed were the two little prongs on either side of its head. Instead, a thick matted tangle of moss or fur coated its entire scalp. This made her reel back in utter disgust.

<Tribe-Less!> She hissed, nearly collapsing over her tail again. <Mutant monstrosity. How could the Goddesses take you too?> Of course, she didn't recieve an answer. The other being seemed to be completely unaware of anything she did. It was still asleep, she realized, stuck in a similar pod to her own. <Perhaps it is for the best. I don't imagine it'd survive beyond its pod. Such a strange anomaly. A mistake to take you..>

With that being said, the Gorgon twisted around to lean against the wall, further away from the odd creature in the other pod. As she did so, she caught sight of many other glass capsules just like theirs, lying in great number across the entirety of the room. Many of the lids were closed, but some, she observed, remained open, vacant. The ones that were closed were full of other anomalies, of so many differing sizes and shapes.

None of them, she noted - in a mixture of awe and fear - had a single Hydra on their head.

Gwen nodded in understanding, looking closely at the ID card she presented: Shea O'Reilly. "Cool, well, I'm Gwen. Looking forward to working with you," she said cheerfully. Once again, Gwen took a glance at the nearest door, one that kind of looked like a closet. "Okay, so since we're kind of acquainted, I think there might be someone behind that door. When I came in, I think I heard it slamming shut." Gwen said as she approached it, pointing to it like an interested child. "Should we check it out?" She directed the question mostly to the armed individuals with them. After all, they were the ones with the guns.


James looked at Gwen "fine we'll check it out but stay behind us we don't know if what ever is in there is hostile or not." James look at the door and walked towards it raising his weapon just in case "did you see what closed the door?"

Gwen nodded and followed close behind, still carrying with her the two metal cases. She could not deny the utter excitement she was feeling. Most of the seniors she knew had spent all their careers in the laboratory. Although she agreed that it was a much safer lifestyle, she never imagined that she would ever find herself in such a situation, especially considering that she was an intern.

When a question was posed to her by the armed male, Gwen shook her head. "No, unfortunately I didn't catch a glimpse of it." She certainly wished she had though.

Roxy assessed the situation. She studied the armed man. She would have to find out who he was later. But the first order of business was to make sure that the braineyacks were safe. "Stay behind us please." She ordered the other two woman. It would be easier if they were willing to wait out side but it didnt look like either of them was going to agree to that so they would have to protect th inside.

Roxy wasnt surprised by the attack. She knew whatever was hiding was going to jump one of them. Either out of fear or anger. It didnt matter the reason. It was simple enough to block his attack it wasnt that well thought out. With one arm up blocking the pipe, she dropped her gun. It was too heavy for her to fire one handedly, so she reached for one of her many knives. "I don't want to hurt you so I'm going to ask you nicely to back off."

Tanikazi obviously knew that these people weren't the enemy. they were probably just more people who were released from the pyramids many Cells. heck they probably weren't even kitsune. tanikazi lowered his lead pipe and held it with one hand "sorry Force of habit" Tanikazi said

Monki Came out that there was more than just this space . And so he started trying to break out. It obviously did not work to break the door open with his bare hands so he tried to remain calm and to scream so that a guard would check what was happening.

"They can not hear you little one." WEB told the screaming being. He didnt know who or what the creature was but his screaming was hurting his head. "We are at the top of the building and they are on the bottom. They will not come looking for us for some time."

"Why do we need to break out?" WEB asked curiously. "They are not a threat to us. We have all we need here. I am quite happy waiting. I can easily gather information from her." He told the younger being. He was in no hurry to leave his cage. Here he knew what to expect. Out there he did not. It was better to gather information and plan then to rush blindly into something.

They don't know where we are. They can not use us for testing." WEB pointed out. "But if you wish to explore I can make that possible." Monki would hear rattling at his door. This would continue for several minutes. Finally the door to his cage slowly opened. "There you go little one. Go explore."

James was surprised to say the least no at the attack but at what tried to attack them he had to admit Roxy was good. the person that attacked them had what looked like dog ears and a tail he was sure there where no normal civilians in here so the chance that he was a cosplayer went out the window "what are you" he asked placing as much authority in his voice as possible.

Shadows passed before his eyes. They swirled around his body, trapping him. He curled his lips upwards in fury, baring his long sharp teeth. He struggled against the binds of shadows. Silhouettes of deformed creatures slid past him. He opened his jaws and let out the most furious and powerful roar he could muster, but no sound came out. The silhouettes moved closer and closer, looking more and more disfigured. The shadow bindings began to continuously tighten. He let out another silent roar, but out of pain. The silhouettes were only a few inches from the tip of his nose and the shadow bindings were seconds from crushing his bones when-

Volkun felt his body move on its own. His arm lashed out and the sound of shattering glass rang in his ears. Pain stabbed at his knuckles and he opened his eyes. He briefly saw his fist dripping blood on the other side of the glass before the blinding light forced him to close his eyes. He carefully slid his arm out of the hole in the glass and hugged his arm to his chest. For a moment it felt like the smoke was returning to bind him in its cruel embrace. He heard the silhouettes speaking to him. His breath became ragged and heavy.

He jumped as he heard a loud impact right next to him. He opened his eyes to find the glass was gone. He raised his hand to cover his eyes from the blinding light. He grabbed the edge of the pod and pulled himself into a sitting position. He moved to climb out of the pod, but collapsed onto the floor with unexpected weakness. He growled in pain and lay flat on the ground. He rolled onto his back and stared at the bright lights. It took a moment before his eyes finally adjusted, but he did not move. His chest rose and fell as he almost gasped for breath. It took a little while before that too was regulated.

He lifted his arm to his face and examined his hand. Blood continued to drip from his knuckles. He proceeded to feel around each knuckle and pull out any fragments of the glass he could find. Once he was sure he removed most of the glass, he struggled to make an effort to stand up. Grabbing onto the pod again, he pulled himself into a crouch and stood up. He swayed dangerously and took a step back to maintain his balance.

He looked around and saw hundreds of other pods like his. He stared at them all in shock. How did they get here? Who took them here? He thought back, trying to remember how he was, presumably, captured, but nothing came to mind. He cursed under his breath and shook his head. He slammed his fist against the edge of the pod, wincing at the pain of his injured knuckles. He was sure if he ever found whoever brought them here, he was going to rip them limb from limb.

It was dark by now, and the humans had all gone home. Xicca had returned and the merman was going back to the pod with him when he suddenly remembered something. "Xicca, go on ahead. I'll catch up in a minute." After the dolphin left, Runo started off toward a jetty near the shore. He had left something there earlier that day, and he had meant to bring it back with him.

After several minutes of searching the rocks, his hands finally closed around an object that fit perfectly in the palm of his hand. "Gotcha! Now when I get back, I can...?" The boy stopped for a moment as he noticed an odd sound coming from somewhere. It was unlike anything he had ever heard before, but as he looked around, he couldn't see where it was coming from. "Xicca? That's not you, right? Xicca?" The dolphin didn't appear, but the noise kept getting louder...


A loud screeching sound from somewhere startled the merman awake. Though his eyesight was still blurry from sleep, he looked around frantically for the source of the noise and found that his movement was a bit restricted. Shaking his head, his eyesight soon cleared enough to see that he was in an enclosed space of some sort. Something like...glass? Where was he?

The green-ish surroundings were strange enough, but there seemed to be other cases of some sort around as well. What were all those? There some really strange shapes in them. As he continued looking around, completely confused and starting to get a bit scared, he jumped and hit his shoulder on the glass of his tank when he saw the strange creature moving just a short ways away outside the glass. What was that? Why were there so many snakes? Those were snakes, right? Did they capture him? Was he going to be eaten? He shrank back against the glass behind him, away from the creature and tried not to be noticed.

"Did you find something interesting little one?" WEBasked the little creature that coming scurrying back. "I was not expecting you to return so soon." He figured the little being would forget him in his excitement to explore the ship. He hadnt been worried about it. He could escape whenever he wanted to but for now he was comfortable out of sight.
