Za'Ruc wakes up with a splitting headache. He tries to move, but is unable to . He dreads opening his eyes to see where he is at. Being strap to a cold metal lab table is one thing, but also having my armor and weapons remove is another.
"What kind of weapon did they use on us? Why am I so groggy?" Za'Ruc wonders. He looks around the room looking for the others and their weapons. He needs to escapes so he struggles against his bonds.
"Dr. Kilroy, The creature is awake." Sarah imforms.
"Aha, good. Now I can get on with my studies." Kilroy says.
"What kind of tests are we to perform today?" Sarah asks.
"I need to gage his threshold level of pain. It is not any fun when you can not get a rouse out of them." Dr. Kilroy says knowing the creature is unable to understand him.
"I have his general vital stats." Sarah says.
"First I need some blood to see what we have here before I can start his transformation." Kilroy says as he jabs the needle into Za'Ruc's arm.
Za'Ruc stares hard at the human whom seems to be enjoying inficting pain. Well he has news for him, he will not give him any satisfaction. Let him think he is hurting him for once he lets down his guard, he is dead.
While Kilroy extracts the blood, he is surprise to see it is green. "Interesting. I will see what will happen when it is mix with red. Sarah take this sample to the lab for analysis. We need to know the make up"
"Green blood? What is this thing?" Sarah asks as Kilroy hands her the vial. "That is what the lab is to tell us." Kilroy says. She leaves to go find out.
Za'Ruc wonders where the others are and what happen to their weapons. The main questions are how long I have been asleep and how much have these oomans learn about us?
Dr. Mitchel is also trying to figure out what kind of creatures they are and how he has to deal with them.
"They are some ugly creatures, thats for sure." Rena says.
"Rena, they probably think we are just as ugly. So what are the results so far to the tests." Mitchel reply.
"From what I can ascertain they prefer the hotter temperatures, but can tolerate the cold to a degree. The bright light and darkness do not seem to phase them. We know that high pitch sonic wave hurt their ears if they have any." Rena reports.
"You know what I would love to do. A full body examination of one of them. Just to see how similar they are to us. They look reptilian, but also humanoid. Are they savages by nature or only when provoke? I wish we can communicate with them." Dr. Mitchel says.
"Are you crazy? Kelly told me what they did to those soldiers. Ripping their heads off and skinning them. That is so gross. How can they do that?" Rena asks.
"Come now. If I attack you, would you not fight back? Do not we do the same when we hunt big game? Remember the buffalos." Mitchel answers.
"Of course. I will fight you. Doctor, they are animals not people. What are we to do with them?" Rena says.
"I think we will let them go through Thera's Maze." Mitchel counters. Thinking about the complicate labyrinth, they will have to maneuver through. Then figure out how to get to the upper levels to the outside. If they make it that far, they still have the jungle and military/mercs to get around to freedom. So far only one person has manage it. Tish Monty and how she did it no one really knows.
Both Poe and Alpha are getting frustrated with the humans. What is next? pain tolerance or maybe see if we bleed. "What do you think they are doing to Za'Ruc? Is he still alive? Can you hear what those things are talking about?" Alpha questions.
"The same thing they are doing to us. I hope he still is alive. They are hoping by separating us, we will show some weakness. You do not want to know what is being said." Poe answers.
Alpha turns to Poe with a kill look, "What is it!" Alpha demands.
"The female wants your body." Poe laughs.
Alpha starts to charge Poe picking him up and throws him against the wall asking, "Are you crazy! That ugly thing. I am not that desperate"
"Do not worry. She thinks you are ugly also. Basically the male wants to know what makes us tick and the female thinks we are savages. She does not approve of our hunting techniques." Poe says.
"Maybe I should skin her. Their kind is no better than us. What are the elders going to say about this?" Poe says.
"We need to find a way out. You think they will just open the door and let us out. Or maybe I should just bust the glass." Alpha says as he hits the glass to test it.
