“Parenza, here’s the report on their last checkups, as requested,” came the call from the young assistant as he proffered a data-board to the professor, tilting his head with a faint smile, shuddering slightly, not fully adjusted to the chill down here, his long Scientific Tunic hanging down around his gaunt frame, uniformly indistinguishable from his older partner.
“Interesting, just as was posited by Tovandrian, carry on Areni,” responded the Professor, waving his hand in the air as his Enforcers approached at the gesture, flanking him as he nodded to the pair, as he padded his way to the entryway, “Continue checking the readings, I’ll be back later on,” the doorway slid open as the central locking mechanism retracted, sighing gently as he padded out into the shimmering blue expansive surfaces, with special inlays in the walls, as data feeds shimmered across them.
His breath hung in the air as he strode down the corridor, a pair of Enforcers flanking him, data flowed astride the walls as they shimmered gently, caligraphs blinked across, escorted by shimmering and ever shifting wire frames, shifting from diagrammatic representation of organic forms, to shifting readings from Thought Patterns to Brain Activity, the images would shift and change and writhe as the Professor proceeded down the Corridor, as it branched other Scientists under escort inclined their heads, and a slight shifting of the Enforcer’s heads to mark their passing, the only sound but a swish of Tunic, was the ever pervasive inaudible hum of the facility.
The Professor continued his path through the chill air passing entryways, at which stood yet more Armed Enforcers, the shimmering data streams continued along the walls, as streams of colour began to coalesce, into the ever youthful features of the Novan AI Ixion, “Professor Parenza, the Subjects have been prepared, Chamber 7 has been alerted to your arrival,” the Program’s voice echoed strangely, his words distorted ever so slightly by the cold, causing the good professor to smirk, the security here was even more tight than other research facilities, it wasn’t any surprise if he were honest with himself, this was hardly the normal research facility, being directly attatched to the Black Skull Enforcers Novesia Headquarters, plus the presence of such dangerous test subjects beneath the capitol at all was highly unusual, but then, he thought. Wryly smiling to himself, Research on Capitol Police, had become an unusual subject area after the cessation of hostilities a long while ago.
This batch of Troopers had been captured aboard a Kukonoian Submarine 2 years ago, what they’d been doing aboard was still unknown, but what had been known is that they were some of the longest surviving ones, some of the initial ones had of course been Biopsies to see what made them tick, they had the data from the research undertaken by Xirnium some time ago, but the Novans had preferred to do their own, to corroborate the data. It had been a godsend in some respects, as it had allowed the Novans to sustain these test subjects via the synthetic foodstuffs that the Troopers partook of ensuring their continued survival and contribution to Novan research efforts. Most of the time they were suspended in Magnetic Clamps, hovering in a special cylindrical chute, not a single part of them connecting with solid ground, slim metal bracers bound each wrist and ankle, the bands were unbreakable under most circumstances, and unobtrusive, yet they allowed a staggering amount of data to be collected while they hung in these cylinders, these were critically different from normal Novan Detainment units, while they sent a low level electrical pulse through the brain, in essence disconnecting the mind from the body, and thrusting it into a controlled dream state, this did none of that, it simply scanned the mind, and allowed it full control of it’s body, which in this case was little, arms could move, but not leave the confines of the circle etched on the ground and celing, the only walls of their prisons were light, light which could be breached with ease, by anyone but them.
The Professor and his escort halted outside the entryway to a chamber, while the Enforcers flanking it scrutinised the trio, which by now was a sextuplet, as another scientist had by now joined them, the Enforcers appraised their new guests, checking customary ID cards before waving them in as the door slid open, retreating in 8 directions, and the central locking mechanism splitting into 4 segments before receeding, revealing the four hanging in suspension, as the six padded in equipment in the corner of the chamber shone to life as readings shone over, and Ixion loomed in a corner, only when the door had finished locking again did the Professors move towards their subjects, the Enforcers as ever keeping their rifles close at hand, if anything went awry the Capitol Police would be knocked out via the bracers which would deliver a stunning blast of electricity, but the damage they could do in that split second, was immeasurably dangerous.
The five Capitol Police would lower to the ground as the light vanished, subtly fading away as the Scientists motioned for the Capitol Police to go to different sound proof booths so that the questioning could begin, it always began and it never truly ended, the booths sealed shut as the door opened once more as another trio of trio’s entered and took positions at a the three remaining lecterns, as the other two nodded to the newcomers, holding a finger each over a button on their consoles, as the door to the chamber sealed again.
Question, KNL-44228A, You are entasked to capture a city, you are made aware of a high concentration of civilians and an imminent uprising has been predicted, during insertion, the uprising begins, and four factions emerge, only one faction’s ideals are similar to that of the corporations, yet before they will aid you in the capture, they require the decapitation of their rivals, What is your response to this, and explain how this course furthers your mission parameters, and then contrast to hat would be optimal for the corporation, disregarding all previous parameters.
Question, VKN-1009T, Upon capture of a supposed enemy of the state, he is in fact discovered to be a high ranking member of the corporation, and has given correct clearance to over-ride previous commands, claiming that it was the original issuer of the orders who is the true enemy of the state, the only way to discover the truth is via interrogation that may permanently harm his ability to serve the coporation, your response, via Mission Parameters, via optimal result and via over-riding protocol.
Question, THX-1129N, On normal patrol, you discover illegal acts of thought, however, upon further questioning, they claim that these illegal acts, are intended to benefit the corporations war effort, through enhancing military design, they corroborate this by presenting a design for a new weapon of war, however they are unable to present this to the corporation, due to being unable to obtain authorisation for a days leave to make a presentation, your reaction, in regards to Civil Codes, in regards to The Corporation, and in regards to the design, which appears to be a potentially highly efficient Attack Fighter, which would severely enhance the Corporations War Machine.
Question, NQL-423X, in the wake of the last invasion, the citizens of City 22 are unable to work at maximum efficiency due to widespread food shortages, several citizens from a neighbouring city have been discovered by yourself to be bringing in contraband, namely additional food to several of City 22’s Citizens, Your Response, in regards to Civil Protocol, In regards to Emergency Directives, In regards to The good of the corporation, In Regards to this situation.
Question, DNA-12L, you are dispatched on reconnaissance, assigned via Wolf Brigade Protocol to infiltrate a nation, and prepare for invasion by the Corporation, upon arrival you discover that you have been sent to another city within the Corporation and are ordered immediately to infiltrate your originating city, for invasion, this situation repeats several times before your transport breaks down, both orders have the highest approval, and return is not authorised without success of mission, describe Protocol, and Analysis of the situation.
The Scientists appraised the readings as they posed their questions, the questions had been asked for a long time now, and steady work had been done to erode the programming, while centres of thought were mapped via Mind readers, as the programming was steadily unravelled the brain waves had been analysed and already numerous advancements had been most useful, and they would continue to be so, as the Scientists awaited the response’s from their subjects, as they idly considered what their colleagues were doing, in regards to the combat exercises.
