"If you want, I was just trying to calm everyone down, tell them what I thought was going on." he smiled.. "You always said it was magic. I don't think my super smarts and super well everything is magic" he laughed sipping on his coffee.

this other kid came up and he shaed his hand with his bionic arm.. "Thanks I guess" then everyone was ushered to there seats.
Illisthoth got back up, it was time, everyone was ushered back into seats and the curtains opened and they gawped at the sight of him, well he was an alien after all.
"Don't worry, I come in peace" he joked.. while laughing, "I am Illisthoth, the leader of the Mak'ari. The reason you are all here is because, simply to put it." he paused.. and looked serious.

"You've all been lied to by the Old Government of Harmonica" he said as everyone started whispering.
"Frankly, you are not underground.. you never where" he kept talking.. serious to the extent to make sure they knew he was honest.
"You are all, on a giant vessel.. that is scheduled to leave the Old Government behind with there deceit, in 2 years time" he grabbed the microphone off the stand and walked back and forth.
"Now, the reason you're here is because your families all wanted better futures for all of you.. they didn't want you wandering in space for eternity" he smiled
"You're all not fully human, let me explain" he wandered.
"more than two hundred thousand years ago, human kin where visited by a race of intelligent beings "us" who they took as an invasion, half the human race was wiped out evidently, from there violent reaction towards us. Mak'ari and the rest of the human race, had to work together against certain groups of humans, still believing we had come to invade them.
This lead to your home-world being abandoned, you're ancestors where hybrids of Human and Mak'ari led by deceit from the Old Government,"

"They have since lied about your past to make you believe you where inside a planet" he promptly said..
"You are originally from a planet named [i]'earth'/i]" he kept talking..
and eventually said "You will be sent to a similar looking city, inside this vessel.. it is to provide a homelike Mak'ari.. that is the reason for the lies and deceit" he said walking behind the curtains as they shut behind everyone.. everyone was silent.. and no panic was even hinted.

"Hard to believe that you have yet to beat me in a game of chess if that power of yours is genetic," Leon chided, giving him a friendly pat on the back. Two beings began to approach the trio, wanting them to take their seats. Leon avoiding the two and stepped back from Keita and the other one, wanting to avoid the seating area, choosing to stay in the cafe and watch from afar. The two beings who asked him to take his seat left with a dull smile, Leon having injected a flood of octopamine which to his amusement made the two act submissive. 'Duly noted, works on non-humans too' Leon though with a small smile, his golden eyes watching the two move on corral other muties.

The most the news warranted out of Leon was a raise of the eyebrow during a sip from his quickly cooling beverage. It wasn't much of a surprise, really. Most older people understood that the government had been unnecessarily secretive and flooding the populace with lies as long as history can recall. His eyes drifted across the crowd, biting down on his lip as he looked over the group. "I can't believe I'm the oldest here..." His voice trailed off, proceeded by a long sip at his bitter beverage, "I wonder how everyone's gonna take this." He considered releasing some chemicals into the air to calm down any of the muties who would take this news poorly, stopping himself before he followed through. This was the first step in their new lives. He couldn't act as a crutch for everyone, despite how badly he wanted to.

Shigganeth

"Hello..." A gentle voice whispered across the room, heard by every mind meant to hear it. One of the aliens, unlike the others the children had already seen, emerged slowly from beyond the curtains. His limbs dangled from him like vines, meeting at his long thin torso that lead up to the floral head which almost looked as if he were of the plant life itself. His face was smooth and pointed, four pitted eyes black as coal observing the entire room, as if the eyes were meant to make up for his lack of a mouth. "I am Shigganeth," the voice said once more, matching the plantlike alien's wide hand gesture. He held an elegant air about him as he took his place center stage, gently bobbing up and down, floating several inches from the ground. "In Ellexkir you will come to me for guidance and I will welcome you as my kin." the voice flowed smoothly like honey, filling the minds his voice lingered in with a sense of calm. "Those who come to my domain will be welcome to explore their curiosities. Ellexkir welcomes the pursuit of knowledge and it is in Ellexkir where we work to unlock each of your true potential..." He voice drifted mysteriously and in his expressionless face, it almost seemed as if he were smiling, his eyes holding the prideful glimmer of a parent looking over their children. "Now please, lend my brethren your ears for whatever there is left to share," he concluded, slowly returning from where he had come,

Gavin stared up at the ceiling, the thick crowd around him forgotten for the moment. Well then, everything I have ever known or thought about where and what I am is a lie. Interesting. He shrugged. It didn't change anything, really. So his ancestors had a massive war in the distant past. That's fine. The here and now was what mattered.

A gentle hissing whisper came from the side of the stage, and an alien creature that introduced itself as "Shigganeth" floated to the centre, speaking of it's District. "Pursuit of knowledge, hmm? Well, I guess I know where I won't be going..." Gavin muttered softly, still staring at the strange creature. When the crowd went dead silent, the illusion snapped around him and he realized exactly where he was. His heart began to pound and beaded on his brow. His bracelet began to writhe and twist around his arm like a living thing.

Alan was freaking out. The old government had lied? While Alan readily believed this, he wasn't so quick as to trust this new one. If the old government had lied to us, who's to say the new government won't? They already had, and they'll probably lie again. They were also so very tall, these strange new creatures.

Alan snapped out of it and took a deep breath. He was letting his bug side take over, his mandibles straining against his bandana, looking for freedom from his humanity. He retracted them, took another deep breath, but, that failing, could take it no more. He jumped out of his seat and ran for the cafè, anything but this crowd and the strange tall creatures telling lies about lies.

Gavin's eyes darted to the side at the flash of motion, seeing a boy running to the cafe side. Running awkwardly, he amended in his mind. The boy's gait was strange and jerky, almost robotic. The bandana wrapped around his head flapped as he ran for the cafè. Interest piqued, and needing an escape from the crowd just as much as the boy apparently did, he dashed after him, trying to shove as few people as possible and for the most part, failing miserably. Angry looks and annoyed words filled his ears, and as he drew near his destination, he tripped over someone's foot and flew headfirst into some poor sap. Apologizing profusely, he came to his feet and ran off again. What's this kid's deal?

Takeshi was calm about the announcement by Illisthoth. "Huh ... that explains quite a bit" he analyzed. He then turned to the girl sitting, she had started crying. She did not talk back to him, so he did not know what to call her. "Hey, are you alright? Is what that Illisthoth said frightening you? It is going to be ok. Let's be friends, ok? I will help you whenever you need, just call for me ok? So, can you tell me your name?" Takeshi attempted to coax the girl. He wasn't very sure if it was working, but he tried. Takeshi decided to sit next to her, staying close by her side to demonstrate he was there for her.

He had heard Shigganeth's announcement. Most of it was white noise to him, except for the "exploring ... curiosities" and "unlocking your true potential". It seemed that Ellexkir would suit him. But for now, the girl who was crying next to him was more important to attend to.

During Illisthoth's first speech, Jeronin was confused. The large theater was too crowded for his liking, so he made his way up to the top of the seats where not many people were. As he looked down at the many worried faces, he noticed that a lot of people were heading for the cafe. "People must find their comfort in coffee..." Jeronin thought to himself as he took a seat. He heard the crys and worried voices from the crowd. "They must've had families they before this." Jeronin never really had a close relationship to his family, more like strangers that lived under the same roof. Jeronin sat there for a bit, noticing lots of things about certain people.

Illisthoth came back up on the stage and delivered her speech. "Oh god..." Jeronin said to himself, standing up and walking down to the crowd, which has mostly migrated to the cafe. As Jeronin walked down, the smell of coffee filled his nose. "Nothing like the smell of cof-" Jeronin was interrupted by someone knocking him to the side a bit with their shoulder. "Watch out!" The guy yelled at him, then he turned back around and started talking. "I guess mutants have their fair share of fools too." Jeronin chided as he started to walk to the cafe. "What did you say kid?" The guy must've heard, because now he is looking straight at Jeronin about ready to knock him out. Jeronin tried to walk away but was pulled back, "Don't mess with me." The guy said into his ear, his hand around Jeronin's neck. The guy pushed him away and his buddies laughed. Jeronin walked back up the theater and sat down rubbing his neck.

When Shigganeth delivered his speech, Jeronin smirked, "That sounds like me."

Tollank took his seat in front of the stage, and rested his arms across the two seats next to him. Illishoth took the stage, and made his big announcement. "Huh," Tollank said to no one in particular, "That sure does explain a lot." He surveyed the large group of people, some people were handling the news quite well, while others huddled against walls sobbing their eyes out. The majority however, seemed relieved. All of this chaos, being uprooted from their families, forced into a strange new place, it all seemed to make sense now. Tollank smiled to himself, it turned out, everything was going to be fine. Then an even better thought popped into his mind, he might be able to find headphones in the city!

However Tollank's blissful revelation was brought to a shuddering halt by a large green being taking the stage. His name was Shigganeth, and he went on to explain his district, Ellexkir. Tollank liked the idea of the district, a set of ideals he could really get behind. He made a mental note to approach the large plant like being that first chance he got, but for now there was more mingling to do. He stood up and briskly returned to the café.

Sylvia was unimpressed by the information about the Old Government that she had just heard. After all, what was the point of a government if it didn't lie to you? She cared little until she remembered that her family was still back there. What if there were even more lies, lies that could possibly lead to the harm of her friends and family?

But at the moment, there was something more interesting. A boy wearing a bandana being followed by another wearing an odd bracelet.

What are they up to?

Sylvia sat back, closed her eyes, and opened a fresh set of blue ones, identical to those of the masked boy.

Time to find out

Mieru woke from her slumber in a stagnant way as her “legs” gave out beneath her falling to the ground. “Oww” She'd say on the floor attempting to rub her side, but noticed her arm wasn't responding well. “What?” she'd say looking down at her arms and seeing them a little shinier then before. “Eureka.” Suddenly a set of her nerve fibers to string around into a helix, and connect to the new hardware more advantageously to movement.

When she was arranged to the meeting she really didn't pay attention. It wasn't like anything important had changed after all. It was still going to be a similar experience perhaps. Now these shiny new limbs they were truly a magnificent work of art. Although it couldn't be seen from the outside. she slowly analyzed the new limbs with her strings trying to see what makes them tick. Although she was slightly off put by the appearance of Shigganeth. Though she was put back out of the speech quickly and began playing with the tail poking out of the bag she was given whispering curiously “Perfume?”

Illisthoth came out.. and started pacing.
"Sabore District.." he said..
"Sabore is my family name" he ushered
"What does Sabore mean?" he paced back on forth, in such a calm state.
"Persistance" he stopped pacing.
"Well.. that doesn't mean you can't choose Sabore, you can go wherever you want" he smiled and started
"All we want is you to learn how to use your mutations to your full extent" he promptly told them
"There is no doubt that they will send, guards or pilots to take you back"
"Never less. You should train, and hone in on you're 'Mutations', there is no doubt going to be a War, we don't want anything.. we need you to make your own choice.. otherwise this operation will fail"
"Ignori District is only explained to you, if you join them.." he sighed in embarrasment
"Fio'rana, is eccentric" he said
"Don't ask me why" he laughed.. as the doors opened and he said "Choose your district, by hopping on one of the holotrains marked with the districts Insignia, from left to right is Sabore, Ignori, Ellexkir... have fun, training commences in a few days" he smiled as everyone was led towards the massive holotrain station.

Mira:

Mira got up and followed Takeshi, as they went to choose which district they would live in. Mira was still crying a bit.. she did it all the time.
"I'm- M-Mira" she said.. calming down a bit. She liked Takeshi, she'd stick with him, only because he was nice enough to take care of her.
This new found trust in Takeshi was weird. She never used to have any friends, her family was quote on quote 'Royalty' back inside th Old Government, and they didn't even know about the lies. They came to the holotrain station, which was huge. There was three platforms, leading to Sabore, Ignori and Ellexkir.
"Which one?" she asked Takeshi, Indecisive of where to go.

Mira waited for Takeshi to answer, he seemed so nice.. she hoped he was.

Illisthoth announced his district, Sabore. He explained that there will be a war, and that we are right now training. It was odd, this was being called an operation. Normally there would be a briefing with details on what this would entail. However, there wasn't any. Well Takeshi didn't expect any actual information. All he knew was that he had to find a district to belong to, and join these alien's family it seemed, not much he could really do other than that.

As Takeshi finally heard the girl's name, Mira, he had started approaching the holotrain station. He smiled as she was telling him her name, although she was still crying. She wasn't crying as much as before, which was good. When Takeshi was about to turn and ask Mira which district she wished to go to, he got asked first. He thought for a moment, he wanted to go to Ellexkir, but, what if Mira didn't want to go. He turned to her, "Is there any in particular you would like to go to?" he asked, "I am fine with any, they all seem like they will help us control these 'mutations' we all seem to have." If she could not decide, then they would go to Ellexkir, however, if she chooses something else, he will gladly accompany her.

Mathew would be stunned a bit by the news, but he figured they had lied to him about the Old Government. He would sigh and look around, so far no one really was talking to him. To him it was a good and bad thing. Good since he could get around without anyone noticing, Bad due to the fact that, he was in a place he didn't know about and had no friends here to begin with. He thought to himself: 'People didn't like me to begin with... I was always the geek where I came from.' So he would still stay away from people as he got up and head to the Holotrain Station. Once there, he thought of which train to get on as he knew this would be a life choice for him.

Alan skidded to a halt and turned around. The creature known as Illisthoth had mentioned something about districts and holo trains. Districts meant cities, which Alan was much more used to. With this thought, he felt himself calming down. "Ok, Alan," he said to himself, "Once you get on to that train, you'll be able to find a nice, dark alleyway, one with plenty of dumpsters full of garbage and leftovers, and it'll be just like old times. You just gotta get on one of the trains." Alan sprinted back to the trains. Not sure which to choose, as he didn't really listen to all the weird creature's speeches, he looked for the one that seemed like it had the least amount of people considering it. By the looks of it, it was the one for the "Ellexkir District", or whatever it was.

Sylvia blinked, her eyes returning to their natural green. She was faced with the minor dilemna of either following the boy with the bandana to Sabore or choosing her own district. Sylvia thought to herself.

Sabore, the persistent. Not for me. Ellexkir, the curious scholars. Maybe... And then there's Ignori, the "eccentric." Could be interesting.

Sylvia reached into her pocket for a silver disk, which she flipped in the air.

Tails. Ignori it is.

Looking at the boy with the bandana one last time, Sylvia headed for the Ignori Holotrain.

Gavin sighed as the boy doubled back around and headed for the Holotrains. He wouldn't be getting any answers today. With any luck, he'd see the boy again.

So, Ellexkir. Absolutely not. Not in a thousand years. Gavin was never the most, how to say it, intelligent boy. In fact, most argued that he was downright stupid. So the thought of being trapped in a district with a large quantity of intelligent people would make him feel not only inadequate, but also so very bored. Sabore was a bit more promising, but persistence was never Gavin's strong suit. He would constantly dart from one thing to another if he didn't feel like doing any particular thing anymore. No doubt he would be outcasted and shunned. He sighed. That left Ignori. Eccentricity he could do. He chuckled to himself and ran for the Ignori train, accidentally bumping into an older girl on the way.

"Sorry!" he called, sliding onto the train. The crowd was massive. By some miracle, he managed to find a seat instead of being one of those poor saps who had to stand for the ride.

Mathew finally decides that he would get on the Train for Ellexkir. He would take a seat and look around for anyone that he may know, no one though. "I guess I'm on my own..." He whispers quietly. He sighs and looks touches something on his chest, a necklace he had when his family gave it to him. Knowing he may never see them again, he holds it close so he can remember them at least. "I wish I still had them..." whispering while sniffling. He lost his parents in his past when he was younger, he only ever looked out for himself since no one else would. He looks out the window and watches to see when the train would leave and where it was going.
