Chapter 14
Learning Curves Part 2
Niko got up and followed Garnet. Upon arrival, Niko could feel everyone's eyes on him, and every eye was giving him the icy stare he had long forgotten people gave him. Niko tried not to look into anyone's eyes.
"I really hate it when people give me the icy stare Garnet..." Niko said.
"I got your back," Garnet murmured to Niko before looking at the people in the room.
"He's here on Agent Sapphire's account."
Once that was said, no one dared to glare at Niko. Garnet then led him over to a receptionist in a plain, sleeveless black dress.
"Uh...hi." Niko said.
Without words, a sheet of paper as given to him, which he signed after taking the time to read it all over. He handed it back to the receptionist.
The receptionist looked the paper over before handing it to Garnet with a pen. He sighed in to authorize it before handing the pen and paper back. He then gestured for Niko to follow him.
Niko followed and looked at Garnet.
"So," Niko said. "What exactly is the Black Committee's job in the grand schematic of what's happening?"
Garnet looked at Niko as if he hadn't been here at all but then realized he truly had no clue.
"The Black Committee's job is to basically run the Insurgency and make the plans. We're the glue that holds this entire operation together," an ice blue fox in a long sleeved black dress said as she walked up next to Garnet. She had a distinct British accent.
"Like I couldn't have told him that, Ice," Garnet told the fox, Ice, as he rolled his eyes.
Ice chuckled, "Gotta be quicker, Sir." She nodded towards Niko. "I've heard of you. Niko, is it? If you'll come with me, I'll bring you to the scanning room."
Garnet nodded. "Just gotta get you scanned and appointed a specific job, and then I'll show you to it."
"Uh...Okay." Niko replied and followed Ice to the scanning room.
"Wait." Niko said hesitantly. "Will this hurt at all?"
"I'll be honest," Ice started as she led Niko through a glass door into a white room. There was a single white chair in the middle, and two electrodes on the ground near it. "You'll feel a tingle if you let yourself. Some people have that strong of an imagination. But it won't hurt."
She led Niko over to the chair. Once he sat down, she placed on electrode on his head, and the other on his chest.
"Just relax," Ice told him as she left the room. The other members of the Black Committee were looking at Niko through the one-way glass as they pressed a few buttons.
Rouge walked in at Sapphire's request to check on Niko and when she saw him with the electrodes she perched herself on a chair and watched with interest
After a while, Niko walks out the scanning room, hair frizzed out to point where even his tail sticks up. At this, everyone laughed and Niko looked at Rouge.
"Not...one...word." Niko hissed to laughing Rouge.
Well, it's time for Niko to get the true hang of things. What job will he get? Find out next chappie!
