Dave went to the back of the cell in fear and fell to the ground.

Crystal watched and paced, cursing and praying she wouldn't be called for testing, her ears flicking with annoyance and attention. She was just trying to survive, maybe reverse the damage that's been done to her, and get out with the clothes on her back still there. She didn't care what it took, but for now she just did what she was told and tried not to black out.

"I would go, except that I'm still cuffed." Scott lies, he doesn't want to be here.

Crystal spoke up suddenly. "Dr.Sam has keys. He can unlock you." She says plainly, and returned to her book as she felt the doctor glare at her.

Dr.Sam goes to Scott's cell and unlocks him and puts him in the guard's supervision. Then he goes to Dave's cell and unlocks him, Dave quickly restraints and uses the reason why he is here, which is his power to control minds, to make Dr. Sam and the guards put Scott back in his cell without locking him completely up

Crystal watched, shook her head, and just minded her business. She had watched her friends die here, they had broken Crystal down pretty well, so she knew to go when needed.

"Um, you said that I will be needed for some tests." Scott asked confused.

"Don't worry he'll be leaving to go do whatever now, right?" Dave said to Scott and Dr. Sam. Dr. Sam replied with "Yeah of course".

"I guess." Scott replies

"But guess what I got?" Dave asks Scott

Caspian had to physically bite his lip to keep from calling out—to demand what the hell was going on. He was afraid of drawing too much attention to himself and being forced into whatever "tests" these freaks had in mind. Cas was just your typical human being—minus the ocular albinism, of course, which didn't even do anything except make his eyesight bad and his life suck. Maybe if he just kept his head down and didn't say anything…

Dave holds up some keys and jingles them in the air.

As soon as her cell door was open, Maggie let out a roar sounding more like it belonged to a tiger. ”I said what do you want with us?” she snarled.

Scott smiled a little while signaling in sign language, "Don't make it that obvious."

Diara had been watching the movement of the others from his cell quietly. He perked up at the sight of sign and moved to the edge of his cell. He brought attention to himself by tapping on the metal bars then looked at Scott. "You sign?"

Dave said, "Whatever, I can just wipe their memory".

Crystal continued to watch, putting away her book this time, braving Dr.Sam and his lip. "Doctor…do you need me?" She said, speaking quietly but strong so she could still be heard.

"We need a way to counter Test 203" Dr. Sam said to Crystal

Emaelia had been listening to the whole ordeal, honestly a little bored. She peeked an eye open, wondering if anyone else in the cells was awake, and seeing as most, if not all of them were awake she opened the other eye. She had been here a while, so she just sat back, waiting for her turn. Don't get her wrong - she didn't enjoy the tests, but she had learned enough that if she protested, stuff would happen. Bad stuff, in her opinion.

Dave unlocks his own cell and then opens the rest of the cells, "Let's get out of here."

"A…counter?" She asked, swallowing a bit as her cell opened and she got out, looking at Dave. "You fool." She growled out and walked over to Dr.Scott.

Emaelia backs away from the open door of the cage. Is this a trick? she wondered. She'd lived the last couple years of her life in fear. In fear of the doctors, the tests, what else? She didn't have normal fears like a normal person would. She didn't fear rejection or being alone at all, in fact she'd come to accept it as a normal part of her life. "N-no," she replied to Dave in the strongest voice she could muster. "I-I can't."

Crystal looked at Emaelia with big eyes, and in those eyes were fear. Crystal, who had never been afraid, was headstrong and even when they were testing her had bad mouthed them until they brainwashed her, was afraid. Truly afraid. But she couldn't do anything about it. She felt the brainwash stuff kick in. "It's alright darling come out." She said the words but did not emote with them, it was her words and voice but it was said with a blank expression. She then mouthed. 'Stay. Away. Don't Listen to Me.'

Emaelia turned to Crystal with confusion in her face and eyes and body language, if you looked closely. If she were a horse, her ears would be pinned back, and she had mixed feelings. Would she truly be safe if she went out? How could she trust Crystal? There was fear, clearly showing in Crystal's eyes. Why? So many questions poured into her head, she shook her head, suddenly overwhelmed.

She then turned to Doctor Scott and awaited his orders, silently. She had always been so head strong. Her fox eye twitched a little as her ears twitched with anticipation.
