Nemuri blinked towards the Shihion.[@Champion] "Life-threatening?"  She paused for a moment, looking up at the image of her captain and father, grinning from ear to ear.  She nodded.  "Yes, some would call what's in stored for this division that, most actually, but master Mayuri likes to call it weeding out the weaker subjects.  Butttttt"  She made a wide motion with her arms.  "Yep.  Die, or survive.  Either way is fine as you'll all serve as valuable test subjects for the future."

"Well"[@Renny] Nemuri mumbled around her finger nail as she spoke.  "That's not necessarily true.  The prodigy gene isn't really some end all, be all type thing which'll turn a soul reaper into a one person army."  She shook her head, quickly.  "Not at all.  All it means is that your mind has been shifted into a state which allows for a much greater amount of potential than normal souls.  That's all."  

At that she paused at the sound of Bakuto's uproar and turned her attention towards [@BladeSS4]  "It's not all just about intellect.  Many prodigies in the past weren't smarter than everyone around them.  Some excelled in more, focused areas."

At [@Crimson Lion]'s comment Nemuri's head tilted to the side, and her face took one a momentarily image of confusion.  "Determine?"  Again, she shook her head rapidly, and with a passion.  "Nobody has determined anything."  Sighing, she covered her face in her hands and shook her head, slower this time.  "Oh!  Master Mayuri, they're all such children.  Look!"  She raised her arms out in front of her, held them for a moment before letting them flop to her side.  "Look at it this way, the prodigy gene doesn't indicate anything.  It just means a person has more potential than others.  It doesn't mean they'll become anything unless they push or are pushed in that direction.  Why is this so hard?"  

"Oh![@Red Mage] I'm glad you made it.  I was beginning to get worried only the boys managed to find the division headquarters."  A quick pause.  "Well, if memory serves, the process by which the genes were created and activated was released over the Soul society."  She put her hand behind her back and leaned forwards, causing her back to make an uncomfortably loud cracking sound.  "Oh!  I'd say about two years ago, just before everyone was either made to join the soul society, or found themselves suddenly thriving."  She spent a moment looking up before nodding, content with her answer.

"Well then, I suppose we should get down to business."  She opened her mouth to talk but paused as what sounded like an explosion echoed in through one of the entrances into the room.  "Which isn't that."  As if on que the lights in the room flickered, and Mayuri's face disappeared, replaced by a large, detailed map of the facility.  "Hmmm."  Nemuri put her hands on the table and leaned forward.  "Let's see.  Let's see."  She smiled, and pointed at a blinking red dot in a large room.  "Ah.  Here's the problem."  She poked the blinking light and the image of the map was replaced by a large flat screen.

On the screen there was a wide, blank space, with several small fires scattered about.  Seconds passed without anything happening, but something, vaguely humanoid appeared in front of the camera.  It's face was white, with large dark holes where the eyes should've been.  It opened it's mouth to let out a silent roar, or almost silent, if not for the sound that came through the doorway on the room's right.  After the thing finished it's scream, it opened its mouth and the feed to the room disappeared.  

"Ah."  Nemuri smiled, leaning back while balancing herself on the balls of her feet.  "Well, that looked interesting."  Nemuri gave a smile before heading towards the entrance in which the thing's roar echoed out of.  "Not sure how whatever it was was able to bypass Master Mayuri's defenses, but it'll quickly regret doing so."  Without waiting, the young woman put her hands behind her back and started walking down the tunnel.  

"Well," she called towards the group behind her, without looking back or slowing down.  "Do you guys really need an invitation?"
