Hiro woke up abruptly to the sounds of something repeatedly hitting a ... wall? He blinked a few times and pushed up his glasses. It took him a moment to realize what was going on, but his eyes widened as he saw them carting away Kassandra. He stumbled out of his seat and went to talk to one of the scientists. "Where are you taking her?" he asked. 

"Just going to run some tests. You know, figure out what the heck she is," the scientist replied nonchalantly. 

Hiro rushed over to the experimentation room, but was stopped by another scientist, who was struggling to carry a very large box. "Hey Hiro!" she exclaimed. "Can you help me out with this?"

Hiro hesitated for a moment, glancing over her shoulders to look at the door. After a moment, he sighed and helped her lift the box. To be fair, it was a very heavy box. 

The two of them struggled (though less so because of their combined strength) to carry the box and a few more boxes of that size into another room.

"Thanks Hiro," she said with a smile, but Hiro was already running back to go check on Kassandra. 

Once he got back, she was already in the observation room again. And everyone else seemed to have left to do something else. He approached the tank, and got a closer look at her. He noticed that part of her hair was cut short and messily, and was part of her tail fin missing? He placed his hand on the tank, filled with anger and sadness. He bit his lip and looked down for a moment. "What did they do to you?" he asked.
