Silvia watched as the Guardians under her care gathered by her side and almost immediately started making introductions to each other. Alexandria appeared polite, Thomas seemed to be adjusting well, and Tavi reminded her a bit of Caden... Only much tamer. With everyone present split into their teams, Silvia motioned to her group to follow her out into the hall. She began walking in the near opposite direction as Caden and his group. The Nest consisted of several levels of labs, training rooms and entertainment rooms but each level was essentially connected continuously... A set up much like that of a hive. Silvia remembered thinking to herself "Hive" might have been more ironic than "Nest" but it wasn't her place to question the codenames the government gave its possessions. She led her group past the elevator they initially entered from and down a curved hallway, her shoes clicking ever so softly on the tiled flooring. [color=82ca9d]"I know the order to drop everything and move in to this facility was rather sudden, but I assure you'll be well taken care of. Anything you didn't carry here yourself has already been picked up and brought here for your convenience... Although I think they might have left the unpacking to you due to personal preferences and personal nature of some of your belongings."[/color] Naturally Silvia didn't register how her comment might have been received and instead kept walking as if what she had said was perfectly normal. [color=82cc9d]"You each will have your own rooms but all of the rooms in use at this moment are in the same wing, so you'll still have some interactions with the other team's members." [/color] Just as she finished speaking, she led the ground around a corner leading out into a corridor of closed doors. Each door had a name plague attached to the front, clearly announcing who owned which space. Additionally, each door had a handprint reader to serve as a lock for the futuristic-looking sliding doors; most likely unnecessary but then again, those in charge of this project had a way with going way overboard on absolutely everything. [color=82ca9d]"If you'd like, you can go check out your rooms before we move on. I'm sure you're curious as to what they've set up for you."[/color]

The rooms couldn't be considered five star living, not by a long shot... However they were incredibly decent, all things considered. In each of the rooms there was a queen sized platform bed, a bedside table, a desk and faux window that could be programmed to show any setting imaginable. Storage was in the form of drawers built into the bottom portion of the bed, and lights were controlled by a switch next to the door. The lights were probably among Silvia's "favorite" things about the rooms, the option for various colors aside. Much like the faux window, the lights could be programmed to display in quite a few different ways, but even that wasn't what fascinated her the most. In fact, it was the fact that there were no physical light bulbs inside the room at all. Instead the walls and ceiling were fitted to be the lights, conserving space in the rooms themselves. Silvia kept her thoughts to herself however, allowing the Guardians time to adjust and form their own opinions of the place first.

Caden walked along at a leisurely pace, not wanting to burn out the new before dinner. Rhiannon was the first to join him, taking her place beside him as she asked her question and introduced herself; in that order. Caden chuckled internally but let his amused smile show. [color=ed1c24]"Likewise Rhiannon. It's nice to finally have a cute face around that shows actual emotions."[/color] He sighed jokingly before settling down to answer her initial question. [color=ed1c24]"Silvia and I are the only two successful Angels to date. There were other volunteers but they all failed for various reasons. It's my understanding that they've put human trials on hold until they've had a chance to study us and our interactions with the chip a little more. I guess that makes Silvia and I the beta testers, huh?"[/color] Caden shrugged it off as if it were no big deal he was acting as a guinea pig for the government. Technically everyone in The Nest could be considered a guinea pig but that was irrelevant. His eyes shifted back to Kyle as he caught up with the crew, giving his own more formal introduction.
[color=ed1c24]"The story of Caden Black is a long and terrible tale of hardship and... Yeah not even I can believe that crap. To be honest I hopped into the Guardian program not long after I graduated from military academy. Since then I've pretty much been working with Director Nightshade and her team of wacky scientists... It's a lot more fun than it sounds."[/color]

Caden forged ahead, heading for the training rooms which were on the opposite side of the level from the living quarters. It was by far the biggest wing of the Nest, outfitted with regular weight rooms, rooms dedicated to cardio workouts, rock climbing rooms, padded rooms meant for hand to hand sparring, rooms designed for weapons sparring, and even rooms that looked set up to host a Zumba class. If you could imagine it, the room probably existed in one form or another. Caden's personal favorite was the laser/paintball tag room, it made him feel like a kid all whilst giving him necessary training. He'd never been more excited over a single room before in his life.... He hoped his team would enjoy it as much as he did, because it was the first on his submitted list of joint training ideas. [color=ed1c24]"Most of these rooms are open to you 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Some of the more extreme ones are locked after a certain for safety reasons... Kind of lame I know, but they're really into this whole safety thing. Guess they don't want you hurting yourselves when they aren't looking."[/color] Caden approached a closed door that was locked with a hand-pad identical to those fitted to the dorms, the man placing his palm flat against it for a few moments before the door slid open happily. Beyond the door was another corridor, the entrance to every training room available to the Guardians on the level. Beside some of the doors were panes of glass that allowed for an audience to overlook some of the training exercises while others were just doors to rooms that allowed some privacy to the one working out. Guys in white labs coats rushed around the corridor, heading from room to room doing their last minute adjustments and check ups before the rooms were used. As they noticed Caden and his team they would stop and nod their heads respectfully before returning back to their seemingly hectic work.
