"You need to keep them open, or we'll have to do the scans again" she said abruptly

Awwwww

Sad

Night

"Then turn off the video," he demanded. "Just because you're making me do this doesn't mean you have to demean me, too."

Bro is literally cackling

She watched for a moment, horrified, then suddenly rushed at Violet.

I have an idea if you want to do it

Tam could just be bored and like "five minutes adventure!" kinda thing

What?

Just asked

No she was saying goodnight to Heir

hmmm sure 

I don't know. He stared at the steps. I just... 

He felt kind of blank all of a sudden. But in a sad way, rather than a blank way.

She groaned. "Fine," she said, turning off the TV. "Just know you're in for a long time of this, and you get to be awake for almost all of it"

You sound like Logan  

She hit another button and a thick plastic wall slammed down in front of her. "Not so fast. I know you wanna keep your little boyfriend safe, but there's nothing you can do now"

What why

She punched the plastic barrier and cried out angrily.

She stepped in front of him and took both his hands.

Bat? What's wrong?

[Existential]

Just now, Through The Living Glass said:

What why

She punched the plastic barrier and cried out angrily.

She laughed, knowing she wouldn't get through it. "It's fun to watch you try. But you don't get it. You don't get to make the call anymore. You get to sit in here, worrying about him. I doubt he'll even remember you when we're finished"

He looked down at his feet and shrugged.

She chuckled. "Silent treatment. Funny. There is one thing you should know. I'd hold onto those memories of those you love. You won't remember them when we're finished. You'll be a blank slate, running ops with Starlight and the other soldiers. It will be grand" she said, throwing her hands in the air, slightly celibratory

She just glared at Violet harder, not wanting to dignify her actions with any other response.

Hmm.

Are you feeling badly all of the sudden? How do you feel?

She sat them both down on the steps.

He paled. 

"I never agreed to that."

"Maybe I'll give you a chance to say goodbye. From behind glass. If you behave, that is"

Just now, Halcyon The Only said:

"I never agreed to that."

"No, however it's part of augmentation, and you forgot to add a term prohibiting it. I'm sorry Aden, but it's just the way of life"

She hit a button and two guards walked in. "Why don't we put the two wastes of space together. Grab her, we're going to Five's room"

Rebus leaned forwards, glancing at his Author (somehow) to see whether the experiment would be allowed to succeed. The energy began to swirl, shimmering and twisting, maintaining its state as Narration and not collapsing into an object. 

Nameless's form came into focus fully for the first time, revealing him to be a man with brown hair and blue eyes, although the eye color was hard to make out through the glow that now filled them. I think... I almost... have it. The Narration took on a definite shape, things that could be limbs moving in the difficult-to-explain space. Abruptly, Nameless gave a cry that was actually physical, the first sound he'd made since his activation.

The energy exploded within Rebus's containment unit, leaving a liquid-like residue behind. Ah. Bother. I almost had it.

She didn't resist at all.

Being with Five . . . that was actually preferable.

He growled. "Leave my brain alone or so help me I will murder you."

She just glared at Violet harder, not wanting to dignify her actions with any other response.

Hmm.

Are you feeling badly all of the sudden? How do you feel?

She sat them both down on the steps.

He nodded, feeling embarrassed. What if people came this way and saw? He wished he could disguise himself the way she did.

She took them down another long hallway, turning into what looked like a solitary confinement cell. She wandered in the cell, seeing her on the ground. "Brought you a friend." she said as the guards threw her to the ground. "You two catch up, I have to go check on our other specimen"

Just now, Halcyon The Only said:

He growled. "Leave my brain alone or so help me I will murder you."

"You can make threats, but soon this place will be all you've ever known. We're starting with your frontal lobe.We learned from our mistakes with Starlight"

They were pretty wide stairs, so Tam didn't really see a problem with it.

Do you not know what's wrong?

Irie glared at them until they left, then looked up at Five.

". . . Hey."

Aden growled in frustration. "Who's your superior? I wanna talk to whoever's in charge!"

Irie glared at them until they left, then looked up at Five.

". . . Hey."

Five stared at her, wide eyed, from the corner of the cell. 

She lounged forward and grabbed Irie, then started sobbing desperately.

Irie hugged her back, a little shocked.

She felt tears welling up in her own eyes, but blinked them back for Five's sake.

Bat?

"In this facility? I'm in charge. Violet's my second. So you can either be quiet, or make this take longer" she said as Violet wandered into the room

Five's sobs shuddered and faded away. 

"They're gonna hurt him," she whispered.

"DON'T TOUCH MY BRAIN," he roared, thrashing stronger. "I WON'T FORGET HER. YOU CAN'T MAKE ME FORGET HER!"

Violet chuckled softly. "I can and I will. I might let you say goodbye first. Maybe. But soon you'll be just like Starlight. He'll likely be one of your captains, but we'll decide later"

Okay. Do you want to go somewhere else?

"I gave you my word. Here, word is bond. She'll probably be forced to help with menial tasks, but she'll be fine" she said, standing him up. "Now lets let you say goodbye before we take you to surgery" she motioned the guards over to grab him, and dragged him to the cell that was holding Irie and Five. She dropped another plastic wall between them, making sure they couldn't fight back. "You have five minutes. Make it quick"
