Tworeviews... that's more than I thought I'd get...
Well, the ship has finally landed. I turn my head as the door begins to open and the ramp slowly moves outward. The engine of the ship turns off, and a little green creature and Zaro walk towards me.
"628, this is 02," Zaro says. I just nod, and stand up. 02 then walks out of the ship, jumping over the ramp.
After him, I walk out slowly, glancing at my surroundings. We're on a small landing strip, which is surrounded by some really tall trees. Where are we going? I don't see any buildings nearby or anything. "Before we get to my place, we have to walk a little," Zaro tells me. Great... "02, you show 628 the way there, I'll be there in a few minutes."
"This way," 02 mutters, walking into the forest.For a little guy he sure can walk fast. Probably has to walk fast to keep up with Zaro all the time. Every so often he looks back at, as if he needed to make sure I was still there. What's he think I'm gonna do? Attack him from behind? Soon we approach a small hut looking thing. It looks a little small. The ship is bigger then this thing! I say just live in the ship instead. 02 pushes the door open, and we walk inside.
"Is this it?" I ask, disbelievingly.
"Course not," 02 replies," the real place is underground. Zaro had to have it built this way so it wouldn't attract any attention." He walks over to a wall and places his paw on it. The part of the wall under his paw lights up.
"Handprint identified," says a computer's voice. Part of the floor slides away, and an elevator emerges from the hole. Nice. We step inside of the elevator, and as soon as we do the door closes.I look at the buttons of the floors. There's about 8 floors..the question is, which floor to go to?02 presses the button for floor -3, which lits up as he does so. Ooooo... so glowy. I move my arm near another of the buttons.
"Don't even think about it," says 02. I sigh and return my arm back to my side. Darn. The elevator stops moving, and the doors open up, revealing a very open room. I smile in releif; I was getting very annoyed with the smallness of everything, so it is nice to find a very open place. I walk out of the elevator, sitting down in one of the many chairs placed around the room. "Just wait for Zaro here, 'kay?". 02 walks out of the elevator, and out of this room. I wonder where he's going. Hm.. why isn't anyone here? Meh, means more room for me. I lean back into the chair. Suddenly the elevator opens up, and Zaro walks out. That was quicker than I thought.
"Well, 628, you will be rooming with Dream," says Zaro.
"Umm, who's Dream?" I ask.
"She should be arriving soon. Anyway, normally when an experiment arrives here, the next day they begin their training, but, as Jumba said, we'll have to wait until your arms heal."
"Great!" I smile," uh.. I mean... that's too bad. Darn, I was looking forward to training." What the... there's a glowing light next to Zaro. The light disapears, and is now replaced by a light purple experiment. Well, she's mostly purple. Around her neck, ankles, ears, and wrists, theres a thick dark blue stripe. On her torso, and over her eyes, thereis light pink fur, and on her head is a marking that looks alot like an eye. She's also got small feathered wings, and two medium-length antenni.Oh, and her eyes are dark purple, with a purple nose.I'm guessing this is Dream.
"This is Dream. Dream, this is 628."
"Ah, a newbie. So, why do you want me here?" Dream asks.
"You and her are going to share rooms," explains Zaro. She glares at him, and opens her mouth as if she's about to complain, but then closes it."Remember to walk her there instead of teleporting her. I don't want her to ever get lost while looking for her room." Wow, Zaro has so much faith in my sense of direction. The lizardish guy steps back into the elevator. Dream strares at him with half-closed eyes until the elevator door shuts. She then turns around and looks at me.
"So, what happened to your arms?" she asks.
"I was in a glass container, and broke the glass," I reply."Why do you go by Dream instead of a number?" I had been wondering a little about that.
"My creator gave her creations names instead of numbers. She named me Dream because the main thing I can do is enter people's dreams. But I can also teleport myself and others, create holograms,read minds,and give people back memories," she explains."And I can send people into trances. Well, I better take you to our room. Actually you will have your own room, but it is connected to my room." We walk down the room,over to a door. As we get close to it, it slides open. The next room is a cafeteria, but right now it's empty. "The cafeteria is open only at certain times." The whole room was pretty much empty, except for where there is a buffet style table, and some doors that most likely lead into the kitchen. So I guess those chairs in the other room are there for experiments to sit after they're gotten a meal.
We walk through the cafeteria, towards another exit. This time it leads to a flight of stairs.
"Why can't we just use the elevator?" I ask.
"It's a rare moment when we experiments use the elevator. There's only one in the whole building. Zaro's really the only one who uses it, occaisonally 02 does though."
"That's messed up," I mutter.
"Anyway, the -1 level is Zaro's, -2 is the level for all the experiment's rooms, -3 is the cafeteria level, -4 has TV, computers, those type of things, -5 is the gym and training level, -6 is the hospital level, -7 is, I think, the power floor, with some other things as well, and I am not sure what the -8 level is for. And by the way, we don't go on the -1 level unless Zaro tells us we can, and the same goes for the -8 level," she says, running up the stairs. Shesh.. I can't go on two levels, and I can't go in the elevator except when I'm supposed to. I race up the stairs after Dream.
Soon we get to the next level, after climbing several stairs. This level is filled with doors, and by the looks of it, several hallways.
"Our room is pretty far away, it is on the other side of this level."
"It's all about inconvience here, isn't it?"I mutter."How come I haven't seen any others here anyway?"
"Most of them usually go to the -4th or -5th floor during the day. There really isn't much else to do." Great, just great. That means whenever I go down to those level, there's gonna be tons of other experiments. Joy.."Our room is nearby, just another hallway. Just to let you know the room number is 207. I'll tell you the combination once we're inside." We walk down the hallway, and sure enough, there's room 207. Dream enters a combination into the keypad, and the door unlocks. Dream and I walk inside, and she closes the door."So, the combination is pretty easy, just three numbers, 785," she states."This is my room, for yours, just walk through the doorway over there." Dream's room is plain, there isn't much there, but the walls are yellow.
I nod and step into my room. It's plain, like Dream's; there's nothing on the walls and there is only a bed and a nightstand with a digital clock. There's a difference between my room and her room though; the walls of mine are white.
I turn my head as Dream walks into her room and opens the door."Where are ya going?"
"To the -4th level. Do you want to come?"
"Nah, I'm not really in the mood."
"Okay, suit yourself." With that she closes the door shut. I sigh, and fall backwards onto my bed, staring at the ceiling.
R&R...
