Kiba walked in the small observation room a few minutes later, she was an older woman, who also had been installed on the project when it first began. She noticed a red faced Vita and sat by her in a hurry, concerned.

"Vita dear what's wrong?"

"Huh, oh nothing, I just hate it when Dr. Shay tells a story and never finishes it."

Kiba chuckled to herself.

"Oh honey, you'd better get used to that as long as you're working with us. Shay Hereka is known for the torment he causes with his fragmentary stories."

They both sat there silently, thinking about their life with Lycon and where it has lead them, when Vita spoke up again.

"Hey, Kiba?"

"Yes Vita what is it?"

"Well I was just wondering if you could tell me more about subject Vega," Vita asked hesitantly.

"What is it you want to know? You've read the reports as we all have and know as just as much as Shay and I."

"Well I know, but some of the things confused me and I was hoping you can clarify the gray areas of the project."

Vita looked at Kiba with a pleading look in her eyes. She had been kept in the dark about most of the work done here, and was only allowed to view the very basic of knowledge on the test subjects.

"Very well, I suppose I could pull up my directory and you can surf around there. It's just as complete as Shay's and from my files you can view some of his as well."

Kiba wheeled her chair over to the computer terminal and typed in her access code.

#Welcome Dr. Saron what can I do for you this evening?# an emotionless voice said from the computer.

"Pull up my personal files. Voice activation off, manual controls only."

"Sorry Vita, but you have to do this manually. The computer's set to run by my voice only, unfortunately the other option is the good 'ole keyboard."

"That's all right I don't mind," Vita said ecstatically.

"Now if you'll excuse me, I have some business to attend to in the lab. You'll keep an eye on Vega for me and use the comm. if there is any changes."

Vita only gave her a flick of her wrist telling her she could go; she was too engrossed searching through the files she had been so desperately trying to get her hands on.

Kiba's notes:

Vega is abnormally strong, even if she is a subject. She displayed amazing amounts of strength even before we started manipulating her DNA composition, at the early age of 11! She's amazing the most promising 'student' since Richard. Similarities, however, are almost too analogous, and have begun to unnerve some of the staff working on this project.

She displays an uncanny ability to mimic any fighting stance and technique taught to her, and she can proficiently combine and create her own attacks in seconds. We pared her up against one of our most elite soldiers and Vega sent him to the hospital in a coma. She learns, while fighting, and improvises while she goes.

She also has an interesting defensive weapon that grows with her: three long blades extend from her knuckles on each hand, and can be sheathed and unsheathed at will. However, we had to insert metal platting over the areas because she would bleed each time they were extended. This problem caused us to believe that they aren't natural and some type of mutation might have occurred while she was younger. There is no species on record to have any apparent bio-weaponry akin to hers, and DNA cross-referencing leads to a dead end.

One other unusual characteristic is her eyes. We are assuming this is hereditary, but as I've said before her ancestry is unknown; I believe that Lycon is trying to keep something under wraps. She has emerald cat eyes, but is sensitive to light and prefers to where glasses when going out, in midday. She also can proficiently see in the dark, as well, which was horrifically demonstrated when one of the male subjects tried to sneak in her quarters at night to 'have a little fun.' We found some remains the next day, none that were identifiable, however.
