[Objective Complete]
[Receiving New Commands]
Hephaestus processed these commands, and quickly put them into his Objective Markers. "Orders Received, initiating objectives." Hephaestus quickly walked off towards Selenes Cell, checking through the files until he found the right one.

[Primary Objective: Sweep Facility for any escaped subjects]
[Secondary Objective: Transport Selene to proper Containment Unit.]
[Tertiary Objective: Sedate Subject 104]

Hephaestus quickly arrived at Selenes Containment Cell. "Subject, you have been requested for Transfer. You are to remain silent, and follow all instructions given to you." Within the container, a few Mechanical Arms with needles were preparing to sedate the subject, and trying to attach what seemed to be a Stun Collar. "Remain still..."

While this was done, Hephaestus quickly located a proper container, making sure to remember its location. He would get what seemed to be a small, wheeled cage, to transfer the subject.

The machines in the container moved intelligently, if Selene tried to turn around to see them, the arms would move to remain outside their peripherals.

During this, Hephaestus would put some of the other Robots on Patrol Mode, making sure that a few would be above and below Sdlene if they tried to melt through the floor.

Gagged no that was not going to happen, no never! She had been through that torture to many times to know it was horrible. She took a deep breath, yes she would go to her room but getting gagged no! "Room yes, gagged NO!" Liliath knew that they wouldn't listen to her,acting violent could be an option. Liliath wasn't very often violent, so why not try it? Liliath tried to hit Victi and bite her. "No gagging!"She screamed the whole time.

Hephaestus would remotely view this situation with the Cameras. He would take short breaks during this time to make sure Selene was being sedated properly. Hephaestus would simply wait for Selene to fall asleep.

Hephaestus also updated the Testing List, trying to classify what the Subjects could be used for.

[Selene (305): Infiltration and/or Espionage useage.]

Hephaestus made sure this was uploaded, Reprogrammed the Subjects would take some time, but Hephaestus at least knew their Planned Roles.

Ember seemed to be quite promising, his Amnesia would make it easy to overwrite his brain or manipulate him. Reprogramming may even be skippable, if Kamura was properly conditioned.

As soon as Liliath's teeth close down, Victi yelps and slams Liliath to the ground roughly, bringing her own long, sharp teeth against Liliath's throat, her left hand holding down the girl's head, the other on her chest. She did so gently enough that there was no risk of breaking the skin, but firmly enough to make it clear just who was better equipped for biting. Her emerald green eyes glared furiously at Liliath. Teek or no, she'd be able to react quickly enough to the girl's movements to bite down if she had to. There are a few ways to leave cuts on the base of the neck that don't damage anything important but bleed profusely and hurt a lot, a good way to cause panic in someone untrained. Victi had practise inflicting those specific wounds.

She growled deep in the back of her throat.

Selene considered her options. Complying with the voice was the best option and would reduce the problems further down the line. This was not the first time she had been transferred, far from it, but it had been in a different facility. But these whitecoats were the same as her old ones. Acting violent was pointless and a waste of valuable energy. It brought pain and renewed vigilance, two things she wanted to avoid.

Yes sir, she pretended to reply, a bit cheekily, raising her arms to allow the machines easier access.

Yet she flinched slightly at the stun collar and sensation of needles. It reminded her too much of her old life. Although she had expected this she had to relentlessly chew her lip to prevent lashing out, stopping when she tasted blood. Her heartbeat slowed down to its normal pace.

Then the tranquilliser worked its way through her veins. Everything went black.

Having judged the other situation to be under control, Hephaestus waited for 301 to black out, before he slowly dragged them into a small cage for transfer. Hephaestus gripped the frontal rope with his mechanical jaws, slowly tugging it along the hallway. He followed the Location Marker, before arriving at the New Cell.

Hephaestus slowly dragged them in, makin sure not to cause any unessicary injury. This cell was almost the same, except that the Material was Acid-Proof. Hephaestus marked this down on the facility map, the old cell simply being labelled as Vacant.

Once Hephaestus sealed the door, he transferred the information and stepped out.

[Objectives complete, rearranging Objectives]

[Primary Objective: Sweep current floor (Ongoing)]
Hephaestus wandered off, his break was coming up quite soon, although he was going to help out Victi.

For the second time in an hour, Selene emerged from induced unconsciousness. This was becoming repetitive. Maybe it was her luck. Some quirk of non-existent fate. Someone up there had it out for her, she decided.

After a quick "scan" of the cell she determined that this one was acceptable. The temperature was still a few shades of freezing, with no furniture in sight to provide the illusion of a golden cage, and the general structure was the same; with one notable exception: the holding pen was acid-proof. There would be no carving out games on these floors — but if she was an obedient lab rat, just another broken experiment, she could possibly "ask" for one.

At least I'm not too far removed from the other specimens, Selene thought with a resigned chuff, cheering up slightly. She should always look on the bright side. They can provide me entertainment with escape attempts and failures.

Liliath now laying painfully laying on the ground, realized that this was not working. Scared for more pain she deicded to say. "Sorry." She said softly. Liliath started feleing more alone then ever, did no one even cared a single bit about her. "Room." She mumbled crying "No gag please."

Victi stayed silent as she marched Liliath to her room, obviously furious.

Liliath sighed well she sat on her bed. "stay until I sleep, please?,"She begged. She started hugging her pillow in fear "Please don't go."

Hephaestus would wait outside the room, he would stand there. "How about you take a break? Let me take control for a moment." Hephaestus offered, he was able to have a level of Sentience, but still had the effective logic of a machine.

Victi glowered down at her.... and then slammed the gag she had grabbed earlier onto the girl's face, it's automatic systems letting its straps wrap around the back of Liliath's head, masking the lower part of her face. And with that, she left and shut the door.

Once it was closed, she leaned against the wall next to it, taking a moment to compose herself. She cleared her mind, squishing back her more treasonous thoughts and her dislike of the system she worked in so that she could go back to her office and just... write up her reports. Maybe pour herself a drink and listen to some music while she did it. That would be good. Help get her mind off of all of this nonsense.... and come up with actual testing to do. More stupid threats and punishments to uphold...

"Thank you, I'll be writing in my office if anything comes up. I'm sure you know where it is," she said to the bot, tired.

Hephaestus nodded, he was glad to be in control for now. Having a bit of sympathy for Victi, he walked over to the Control Area, attaching to the Chargers as he began to oversee the Facilities Systems. Hephaestus first took control of the drink system, pouring Victi a drink from one of the Drink Machines. Once he did this, he would move back to surveillance, Hephaestus would eventually take a break himself.

After a while, Hephaestus would power down in the Maintenance Station. He let the other A.Is take control of the Facility, giving him some time to relax before he attached himself to the Charger and powered down.

He sent a small Report to Victis Computer, before he went offline for the night. He remained open to communication through the Computer.

Liliath felt crying asleep, she needed someone to talk to someone kind. But that was not an option in this world. Well she dreamed, she got flashbacks from the lab and from herself as a baby. She woke up in the middle of the night, but continued sleeping quickly after.

Selene was shuffling in a tight circle in the doorway, then lied down, wrapping her tail around its body, like a dog would do. Seeing the behaviour that would immediately denote the concept of "sleep" would cause an observing human to look around for a clock.

The hybrid could have stayed awake and thought about what might happen to her in the morning, how long she might be there, the personalities of the whitecoats, and such. But it had been a long day. She was tired and her internal clock told her it was time to sleep.

Hopefully no one will wake me up, was her last thought before sleep consumed her.

Victi sat in her office, a smallish space open onto the hallway, separated only by a bulletproof glass wall. She'd taken out her AR contact lenses to help her focus on her work now that the bots were live. The holographic monitor in front of her presented her with her most recent data files and a very technically worded text document: her current report. They'd managed to get a slime-mold to produce a nearly 10 million lumen flash when stressed, on par with advanced stun-grenades. Simple.... and it was an absolute nightmare to handle since it kept blinding everyone, but proved that these powers could be isolated and replicated! Or, at least some of them.

As the subject escaped, and the 'capture fleeing subject' protocol or whatever it was called ensued, the Twins merely gave each other a look and shrugged. They were only given orders to subdue the subject, nothing other than that. Even though they more or less failed, they didn't really find a reason to care. Besides, they were children, what did you expect?

Shrugging simultaneously, the twins make their way down the hallway, taking a few turns until they reached a lounge-like area. Seeing a bowl of fruit on top of a counter, Yachi helped prop Dai up in order to bring the bowl down, with the girl taking an apple, and the boy taking an orange.

"The subjects don't seem too happy with us," Yachi says with a monotone voice. Dai looks at her as he's peeling the orange, popping one of the slices in his mouth. "Why do you think that is? We're just doing our job, aren't we?" Dai replies, and for a moment, the children look confused. Like they were... missing something. "Whatever it is, it doesn't matter now." Yachi says, snapping both of them back to reality.

Liliath woke up hungry, she realized that she hadn't eat for a day. Liliath climbed out of her bed and started dancing a little, she wa shungry and when Liliath was hungry she could act as a lunatic. She started jumping and then went back to dancing. Then she climbed back on her bed and put her ear against the wall hoping to hear someone

Hephaestus was technically offline, but his Hardware remained active as he transferred himself into the Facility Systems. Hephaestus gradually found Victis Network and connected, opening up a chat window. He made sure she would know who he was, making sure his username was correct.


As soon as this was accessed, there were a few messages.

0:13 ["Feeling better?"]

0:29 ["104 tried to get a little rowdy, had to sedate him. Most subjects are asleep now."]

0:51 ["Regardless, I have 104s Recovery Logs and well... He seems to have had a little 'Incident' with the Recovery Unit."]

Victi jumped slightly as the window opened, resulting in some keyboard mash that she hastily erased.

[Yeah, fine. Just wanted to get work done. Doing it now, feels good.] She replied.

There was an message icon, something from someone outside the facility, marked as "verified acceptable and safe."

Opening it, she was greeted with a short looped video of a fluffy-tailed rodent like creature sleeping in a flower bed. She smiled slightly, if a little sadly. At least things were going well enough at home, then, if she was getting pictures of her pet being cute. She sent a little heart back before closing the window.

[Good, I need the subjects semi-functional tomorrow for the next round of testing.]
