"Excellent questions Alexander. " the scientist said proudly. You are in the army because you will be stronger then any of the current soldiers the government currently has. My experiments will someday replace the current military. You are criminals, and there for no longer really children. Some of you have killed before, there is no reason to think that you can not do so again. I decided that you were the most redeemable of those offered to me for selection." The scientist took a breath and turned to Hitomi. "Everyone this is Hitomi. She is my right hand girl. She was the first to survive the splicing. And she get treated differently because she knows how to follow orders. The better you follow orders the better you will be treated. As for the outside world you will see more of it when I trust you and not until."

Roxy rolled her eyes at the scientist speech. She didn't know who had offered her up to the program, nor did she care.This was better then jail. Here atleast she had some measure of freedom and they had let her keep both her knives and her bike. She wondered when she would be allowed to ride her bike. She wasn't exactly excellent at following directions, but if it got her outside and on her bike she would work on it.
