Hephaestus would have chuckled at her sudden reaction. He quickly went to type up his Reply, Hephaestus didn't really have much Mail, but sometimes played computer games.

[Right, I'll be sure to have the bots get the Testing Area ready.]

[I'll be offline, but feel free to contact me if you need to. Oh, and check out the Email I sent ya.]

Hephaestus quickly set himself offline, his programming would turn him back on of he recieved any activity.

The Email contained a Blueprint, apparently Armor Plates for some of the Subjects once they were Reprogrammed. There was one set that contained room for a shock collar during testing.

Liliath started knocking on the walls, hoping for a reaction which she didn't got. She then hit the door, making clear she was awake and hungry.

Ember had been asleep for quite a while, but he quickly awoke once heard the noise. He pointed his snout upwards and howled loudly to show he was there. However, the walls of the room seemed to be Sound-Absorbing, and Ember was likely unable to hear or be heard. The wolf sat on his tail, whimpering as he was simply left alone. He didn't think that anyone was hearing him, so he simply curled up on the floor.

Liliath heared some kind of sound and quickly runned back to the wall, she hit it a few times really hard. She wasn't able to talk because she gagged, but she kept hitting.

After eating, the twins went back to patrolling the halls, making sure the subjects weren't causing too much of a ruckus.

Yachi held her hands behind her back, humming a tune to an unknown song whilst Dai was tapping along the rhythm on his satchel. They stayed relatively quiet, though, since some of the much older scientists didn't seem to like it when the twins sang, or anything that seemed to interest them, like drawing. They didn't know why.

Well, as they turned the corner of the hallway, they heard banging on one of the doors, looking at the number on it. Subject 831 again, they both seemed to think, tilting their heads simultaneously to the sound.

Ember could barely hear something, he tried to howl in the same way. He would then punch the glass in a certain way, trying to see if she was using morse code. Ember seemed to be intelligent, as he learned how she was doing this to communicate.

She started laughing (well she tried) the joy off the idea that someone could be there made her feel happy. She kept hitting and hitting. Then she heared the same noise again and she started giggeling.

Going up to the door, Yachi's quick to bang on the door. "Keep it down in there," she warns, although her tone holds no real malice. It never did, unless the subjects were being defiant.

No they were not going to take her moment of joy away. She started hitting louder and louder, she tried to scream but it didn't work she was gagged.

Ember sighed, he was glad that someone was there. "Hello?! Can you hear me?!" Ember yelled, he eventually noticed how the noises stopped. "No!! C-Come back!" He yelled, once he heard the noise again he smiled. He would hit in a certain way, trying to use Morse code.

[Where are we? Is this place Good or Bad?] Ember coded, he assumed that it wa as likely the latter. However, his mind quickly came into a blur again, as he felt it become harder to think.

Liliath giggeld as she heared a knock back, these knocks where diffrent cleary some kind of code. Liliath started scratching her head and simply copied what the other person behind the wall did. She knocked the same thing back.

"Subject 831 is a defiant one, hmm?" Yachi mumbles, the crackle of lightning dancing across her fingers, as if this was some sort of game to her. Dai's eyebrows furrow, and he looks...worried, for just a moment. "We don't have orders to go in there, Yachi," he says, and his sister seems to hesitate.

"No, but we do have orders to keep the subjects from lashing out unnecessarily." She says, turning to face her brother. They seem to glare at each other for a moment, before Yachi knocks on the door again. "If you don't cease the noise, we will have to use force."

Liliath decided to knock something else back, she knocked 4 times what she meant was 'world' .

Selene slid a single eyelid open with an irritated hiss. First the knocking, bangs and howls had rudely dragged her into the waking world. Secondly Left and Right (her names for the twin child guards) started causing a ruckus. Now there was a specific set of knocks she recognised as Morse code.

She hoped there was a combat test tomorrow. One that paired the specimens against each other so she could show those jokers the fate of those who disturbed her sleep.

In an instant Selene rolled over - like one who was in the depths of sleep - and almost accidentally brushed her fingers against the wall. In the next instant she rolled back over, as if settling into a more comfortable position. Whilst her fingers briefly touched the wall she quietly, subtly and quickly rapped out a short message for the subjects on the other side.

Shut up. Guards hurt.

For the rest of the night she resolutely ignored all and any further attempts to communicate, settling back into a dreamless sleep. The lone, compliant un-Reprogrammed specimen.

Liliath heared a knock on the other wall, excited she clapped with her hands.She knocked ten times very hard. She then stopped realizing this communcation wasn't working, she needed to talk with them not knock.

Selene gritted her teeth. That idiot on the other side seemed utterly oblivious to subtlety or Morse code, seeing how the specimen had clearly not understood the meaning of the "word": "shut up for your own good". If given the choice she would happily throw the brat into a cryo tank — with her mind active. She found that being unable to move a muscle despite being awake and fully conscious did wonders for developing self-restraint and patience.

The girl... test subject, test subject... was scared and lonely. But that did not give her the right to disturb the other specimens or put their welfare at risk. If the other two wanted to be punished for imagined or real transgressions, that was their choice. She would have no part of it.

The way this child was going (after not even managing a day without screaming or behaving irrationally) she would not last long in this place. Either one of the specimens would cull the weak link to prove their loyalty or the lead whitecoat - that fox-woman - would dispose of the rebellious creature.

With that thought in mind, Selene stretched and stood up on all fours. She padded over to the opposite end of the cell and settled down in her sleeping dog-like position from before. She closed her eyes and tried to shut the background noise out.

This person clearly didn't understood her, she only wanted to say hi that was it. Being here for almost your whole live and now realizing for the first time that others are in the same place as you, could make you act annoying. Fine if that person didn't try to communcate normally back, Liliath should try harder. She started hitting the wall and kicking the wall, she wouldn't stop until she would get a respond back.

The insect-woman merely rolled over, presenting her back to the girl's wall. She didn't want to have to deal with this, she had better things to do, like maintain her energy for the tests tomorrow. She had lived in a facility like this, alone, her entire life. She knew what the powers-that-be were like. She had existed in a social vacuum for years... which had affected her social skills in hindsight. Just because there were freaks like her within hearing range did not mean she should forget every single survival skill for the luxury of talking. The word "normal" did not exist in this place.

Where are the guards? Why such an important research facility with no tolerance for incompetence lacked guards, she didn't know. Maybe they were lazy... Yeah, probably.

Eh, Left and Right should sort her out soon... They were supposed to be patrolling the hallways after all. If this was not the case someone needed a verbal dressing down.

Liliath sighed this stupid gag was preventing her from talking. If she was so special why on earth would they do this to her? Special , Liliath realized . She used her powers to get the gag off her. She trew it away , she put her ear against the wall well she said "Hello."

Kamura remained quiet for the rest of the night, taking the mysterious advice. He fell asleep rather quickly ,due to the lack of anything going on and that he didn't want to get into trouble.

Hephaestus woke up early in the morning, he began to check the Containment Areas and Testing Labs. He put his objective list online, setting a small timer to see if he should wake up the Fox. The mornings were usually quiet and isolated, giving Hephaestus some time to relax.
