[i]Satisfaction.[/i]

Complete and utter satisfaction was all that was that could describe Lorenzo's grin as he watched Sigma carry out her orders. Picking up one of Ian's discarded toes, and flicking it at the Cruxi only to watch it hungrily eat it like a starving rat only made chuckle in delight. "Very good Sigma, I'm delighted to know that I can count on you to carry out orders... and not only that, but you also helped Ian from not dying... although, I wonder if he would have welcomed a lovely death at this point," spoke Lorenzo as he patted the broken Ian on the head all the while smiling.

"I also think the Cruxi has taken a liking to you Sigma, maybe you should feed it some more I wonder?" joked Lorenzo as he laughed aloud before pointing towards the drooling Cruxi as it was staring at Sigma... clearing wanting more to eat.

"Funny. Sir, shall we go ahead and start replacing his legs and eye?" murmured Cedric as he looked over the panel that he was staring into.

"Of course... Hm," Lorenzo took a couple of steps, before walking towards Sigma. Pulling the traumatized girl by her hair and pulling her off to the side, he gripped her by her hair and promptly spoke again, "Remember, Sigma, this is partially your fault because you couldn't control and protect your team... and this might happen to the other members of your squad as well if you can't protect them either. Not only that... but just imagine if [i]I'm[/i] not there to keep the chain on a Cruxi..." grinned Lorenzo as he promptly slapped Sigma's face softly with his bloodied hand, before pushing her out of the room. "You are dismissed!"

"...Can we get to removing his legs and replacing his eye, sir?"

"Can't I talk to my subordinates in peace, Cedric?" groaned Lorenzo as he promptly walked over to where Cedric was at, and took his place at the Panel.

"I hate kids more than you, so calling kids subordinates is a waste of time. They'll just get in the way..." spoke Cedric as he rummaged over a table, and took out a large handle with a chain-like saw attached to it, before beams and electricity started to flow through it and a loud roaring sound could be heard from it. "So, we're still keeping him awake during the whole procedure?"

"But of course... I particularly like that last scream... that I'll enjoy hearing it again from here on out. Oh, and feel free to remove everything below the knees, they're useless to him now thanks to the Cruxi. While you are at it, make sure to dig out anything in his eye socket that he wont be needing either. The torches, drills, plasma cutters, bolters, whatever you need to fix him up is at your disposal."

"...and as for his ear?"

"...I'll leave that to you."

"So, how human do you want me to make him... I can always make him look like our friend over there..." spoke Cedric in his monotone voice as he looked at the Cruxi.

"Normal looking Cedric... I'm not [i]that[/i] heartless."

"Hm... Give me sixteen hours then."

"That fast, eh?"

"It's slow compared to what I usually do... I haven't had anything to eat, and I hate working on kids."

"Fine, fine... Make it twelve and I'll treat you to some delicious pizza, deal?"

"Anchovies and octopus?"

Lorenzo frowned and gave off a disgusted look. "Whatever you want... just get it done within twelve hours."

Cedric then smiled and licked his lips at the prized pizza ahead of him, before starting to cut off Ian's legs as he began to operate on the young Cadet in order to fix him. His first smile ever since Ian, Lorenzo, and Sigma entered the room. 

"Delicious..."

________________________________________________________________________________

As soon as Zan finished speaking, a black blur was all that he would see in front of his face as the back of his head made contact with the ground; Korie had kicked them with the back of their boot- and hard as well.

"You shouldn't have done that, Zan..."

Korie got in front of Takeo, and promptly glared at Zan, clicking their boot hard against the floor and ready to hit again if needed. For some reason, what Zan did pissed Korie off. They lost their usual demeanor and their emotion... kind of like back in the Mock Battle when everyone was in danger by Antwon's traps and hellfire... they felt the need to do something and throw themselves in harm's way.

Although, in this particular situation, they were more than pissed off.

"Takeo... You are right, maybe I do reek of this place because I know too much, but I wish I didn't. But know that he will be fine, he wont die... I know that he wont... although, I can't say the same for Zan here if he tries something stupid again."

"I find it funny how the 'robot' is the one who is trying to act all different now... Let me guess, did a few screws go loose or did you get a reprogramming?" glaring at Zan, Korie promptly raising their hands in a defensive position, clenched their fists, readied their legs. It would seem that despite their build that they clearly knew how to fight, and they had every intention to.
