(Finally decided on a name: Isaac)
Several guardsmen boxed Isaac in, carefully avoiding the bandaged... Things coming from his back, he hadn't noticed them yet, he had just come around but he felt changed. "Where am I?" He inquistively asked one of his wardens, "No talking!" The main leader seemed to say, ready to anger.
"Just tell me how far from Elysia I am." Isaac said, insistently.
"I said NO TALKING!" The sargent said swinging the butt of his rifle at his face, Isaac tried to protect himself, but his body did it for him. Immediately a small blade, made of cold but slightly darkened steel, emerged from his forearm and parried the blow. Isaac was amazed as the rest, the sargent yelled, "your in a whole other sector." His confidence now shaken.
It now dawned on Isaac, he was along way from home, from his family, and it was going to take a lot to get back.

Leo walked out of his cell quite willingly. Unlike most of the others, he had no problems with his current state. Sure, he had electrified a guard when they tried to remove his armour, but other than that, he had behaved himself. "Oh my." he said rather distastefully as he noticed Ebony shouting at an injured guard. He sfepped forward once she stopped. "Im going to assume he deserved it." he said. "Though i would have gone for the ribs. He's more likely to remember ribs, seeing as giving him a blow to the head could cause all sorts of problems."

Leif awoke startled by the proximity of the guards. He jumped up ready to swing at the nearest guard. However the guards had learned from the other experiences to back up when they awoke so did so when Leif jumped up. The first thing he noticed was his hands, blacker then the void. He grew worried and a startled expression flashed on his face, "What have you done to me?" The guard simply said," They will explain it later but for now get a move on down to the mess hall." Leif, not trusting anybody from his own experiences remained quiet and slowly strolled down to the mess hall. The whole time thinking about what he could recall.

Ebony knew somehow as Leo stopped her that he felt disgust for her. It was strange to be able to so keenly know he thought she was distasteful. Without even realizing it her cocky attitude grew icy as her eye brows flicked and she leered at him, "I'm sorry little lion...I didn't mean to offend you're high and mighty moralness with my display of street ethics." she pushed past him roughly, "He did deserve it...scum bag...and no he'll remember the look in my eyes forever...they all do." she spat on the ground rubbing her hair, "(please do not swear) do I need some chillers..." she kept moving her steps sure and swaggering. She grinned at one guard who looked particularly angry with her as she passed, "I'm sorry didn't mean to hurt him...maybe you should teach you're wife manners instead of letting someone like me with balls do it." she grinned as the guard stepped out of line at her his hand raised, "Why you little Lady Parts watch your mouth before I watch it for you." Ebony smiled at him,"Oh please...we both know if you hit me you can kiss your ass good bye...You can only politely herd me towards that mess...so be a good little dork and get back in line before I line you up for them and deal with you myself." with that she kept sauntering whistling to herself.

Leo chuckled. "Shes a little violent, Eh boys? Ah well, prehaps she'll wisen up. You cant be a jerk forever." He walked past the space marine guarding the door with a nod, then went ibto the mess hall, phasing through the wall rather than waste time walking all the way to the door. He waved to the chef, who he'd met before. Leo loved his powers. He had already tested them, having been awake for ages. He didnt sleep well. "Standard slop again my good sir" he said in a jokey, comical accent.

Ebony sauntered into the mess hall and got into line. She stood there holding her tray in a bored manner until she heard the cook speak. Then she grinned at him her voice rising above the clamor of the room as she addressed the cook with respect delighted to find his accent and homeworld were the same as hers. She paused before him the two laughing like old friends as he poured the slop onto her plate. She stood there bantering with him. She moved pausing at a table with a rather obvious pyro smiling charmingly at him and then moving to the corner sitting by herself and eating the muck that passed for food while smoking a chiller. If the guards noticed they left her be for the moment apparently feeling a confrontation in the room might not go their way.
She sighed having finished the food and sat pulling the cool air born drug in through her mouth and sitting in the most bored fashion possible. Her keen vision was picking up so much, somedays it gave her the worst head aches...she watched one man passing a weapon to another. Drugs were dispersing around the room. Pain killers mostly... Her eyes glazed over her attention wandering off as she stared at Leo.
*flash back*
Ebony is that you?" She heard her mother call as she moved through the door to their run down apartment. Her mother appeared a smoke hanging from the side of her mouth as she pulled the rope on her gown shut. "Where were you?" Ebony looked coldly at her mother, "School...then work...then with some friends..." her mother glared, "friends who give you chillers? I said I didnt want you with them...you're better than that." Ebony remainded silent as she watched her mother's latest customer and boss walk in a cigar in his mouth, "Des wonderful as always" she watched his wolf eyes fall on her, "Is this your little girl...she'll be wonderful for the business". Ebony stepped away from him and turned her attention back to her mother, "Better how...Im the daughter of a *crow caw*...personally...I think they are kind to let me chill with them." She watched her mother's hand flash out catching her in the face. She didn't even blink as her mother shouted to be polite in front of Mr. Cortez. They had played this scenario out before...but this time there was company. "Polite...why? He doesn't have the common deceny to (please do not swear) my mother in such a way that I don't have to come home to it....if he didn't want to see our bickering then he wouldn't keep you in poverty...but then how would he get his weekly boink...most women wouldn't touch him...at least none worth the flesh it takes to make them." the roar that echoed from Mr. Cortez stuck with her to this day...although not as much as the image of Jude throwing him into the river chained to a rock...that sinking image kept her going to this day and always...always brought a smile to her face.
Ebony's attention returned to reality and she realized she'd been staring at Leo the entire time.

Leo had been staring back. He didn't know why she was staring, but he decided that, seeing as he would be working with her anyway, he had better try and judge her character. beneath his scuplted mask - having already eaten, he had put it back on - He stared at her. his eyes were almsot like a Lions.
From what he could tell, she'd been a rough and tumble girl for a while, possibly all her life. She smoked, which meant he'd have the advantage of better lungs, most likely, and he could outrun her in a fight, and most likely outlast her. He was a good few inches taller than her, and though she was obviously a strong woman, he figured he would be slightly stronger, thanks to his augmentations. She had a bit of a temper, that much was clear, and was headstrong. A twinge of a superiority complex as well.
Chuckling to himself, he turned away from her and spoke to one of the other people at his table. The man laughed, and tossed him something, then Leo slid his plate away onto the chemical cleaner and left. He paused before Ebony just long enough to toss her the thing he'd got from the guy, without anyone seeing. A large packet of Chillers. ''Just in case. Seeing as the guards donn't like you having them.'' Then he walked over to the chef and started idle chat whilst he waited for more orders.

"Subject 225: Issac, please come down to bay 136. I would like a word with you in private." The voice said over the intercom. "Subjects Leo, Ebony, and Leif go to bay 110 for briefing." Several Marines and the few guardsmen all looked up and around the subjects, words like freaks, experiments, and abomination could be heard getting thrown around. They were somewhat hostile to the Subjects, but all knew it was them and only them that could get everyone out of the situation they were stuck in.

Leo stared at the guards and marines. "Freaks? Gee thats a bit harsh, coming from a room of geneticly enhanced cellibates." he said. One of the marines swung a punch, but leon grabbed it, twisted, pulled the marin in closer with strength that obviously surprised the marine, and placed a gand on his face. Then the room lit up white as Electricity shot through leos hand and delivered an electric shock to the soldier. The marine colkapsed, hus head steaming, skin blistered. He was unconcious. Leo shook his head in distate. "So brutish. So uncivilised. You could at least made a challenge out of it."

Ebony for her part knew he was studying her. She had realized some time ago that simply by focusing on an individual she could feel their thoughts and emotions. She knew somehow that not a thing he thought was positive. She shrugged inwardly at this. People had been misjudging her for the better part of forever...why think that anyone would change now.
She smiled confidently as he stood her keen eyes running the length of him. He was taller certainly, but he carried himself with a certain unspoken arrogance...he thought he was stronger and that usually in her world meant he wasn't. She studied his armor momentarily as he neared deciding it looked like a B series carapace. That armor was good...but it had some very tragic design flaws that she and her crews had taken advantage of on more than one occasion. She watched the way his eyes narrowed on the chiller she was almost done with...he was thinking that it would make her endure less. Her eyes lit up with a chuckle at this. He'd apparently never heard of the resistance drug testing from several years back.
It was then he stopped handing her a pack of chillers on the side. She smiled up at him in genuine appreciation sliding them into her pocket "thank you Leo." she stood with him pausing as he and the guard got into a tussel. As leo strode off she looked at the marines smoking corpse and then jogged to catch up with Leo. She moved in front of him walking backwards and smiling, "Hey now...you should learn to control that temper of yours. " she held out a hand grinning ear to ear, "I'm Ebony. And since you did me a favor I thought I'd do you a favor...and tell you that your armor has a few holes...and that if we ever escape this godforsaken place....I can use a guy like you."

Leif had been silent the whole time through the mess hall line, feeling comfort in his own shell. He sat in a table of his own, the older subjects glancing at him now and then, but he simply remained silent, unfamiliar with this whole place and these people. When he heard his name announced over the intercom he slowly stood up and strode out the door without bothering with the marines comments. One tried to touch him but he just snarled at him and he removed his hand.

Bay 110 was a storage area, recently cleared by the orders of the Tech-Priest it had been turned into a training area for his new "toys" as the Marines had called them earlier. A large table and hologram projector had been set up on the side of the room closest to the entrance doors.
"Welcome my children, let's get down to business. Oh and don't worry if you can't remember anything from before the surgery, it'll all come back to you." Says the tech priest who's fiddling with a large wrist mounted key pad.
He clicked a button on his keypad causing a large hologram of a man to appear in the center of the table, a scarf covered the front half of his face, he was slender but it was obvious he was in very high physical condition, he wore a long black duster that appeared to have holes in it and around his feet were large black spikes.
"This...is your target. We have no clue who he is, only that he is the cause for 3 planets to be evacuated and 2 to be consumed in utter darkness." says a voice off to the side. A man comes around the corner, Commissar Vander Silid. His voice was rough, it caused chills down your spine like nails across a chalk board and the sight of his leg was just as bad. Chewed off my a squig and the man still fought each day for the emperor.
"He has some power of these..demons...if that's what were calling them. We have selected you because you each have a unique skill set. Leo flew valks back in his IG days. Ebony we scrounged up all we could on you but that's not much, you could've been an assassin and no one would even know. Leif here had parents that worked for chaos, good thing he's on our side." Vander smiled, "Your objective...and yes if completed you will get payment...is to kill this man but we have suspicion to believe there is something more to this. Eldar ships have been seen in the area, he's not Eldar but they are drawn to him. You may have enemies out there."
Vander drew in a deep breath on a large cigar that'd been clamped between his teeth.
"We've armed you with powers, but now its time to show us what your made of, then we'll arm you with weapons. Into the fray of battle kids, lets move." Vander says pointing to an obstacle course.

Leif nodded taking in as much information as he could and silently noticing things around around the room. He stood back allowing the more confident ones to move forward onto the course. He still remained with his lips sealed never saying a word to anyone, not even when he mentioned his parents. He hadn't cared about them forever and knew in his heart that his parents were corrupt.
