Eliseai had been washing her hair and body at the kitchen sink. It wasn't really hard to do considering her shape changing ability. She even enjoyed the excuse to shapeshift about until she was clrean. Then she heard Sunny shout in fear. Eliseai came charging into the bathroom still naked although her fingernails had already formed into sharp, metallic claws. "Sam!" then her gaze fell on the cerebite and she smiled happily as water dripped from her rainbow locks. "And I was looking forward to the beating guards up plan." she waved at the cerebite before turning to leave the bathroom. Several moments later she returned holding a uniform out to Sunny. "Here. Special order. This stuff is what your brother used to wear for missions. It deflects basic shots and cuts pretty well. Also radiation resistant." She turned leaving the room to return to the bedroom where she'd left her uniform. She pulled the leggings on first tapping a button on the side of them which caused them to constrict and form to her legs before forming a padded surface. After that she pulled on the skirt tapping that as well. She pulled a tank top on hitting the button at the strap to watch it meld perfectly to her body. The final touch was some armlets that had been developed before she got kicked out of gemini. They had been designed specifically to allow her greater shape changing room and enhance those particular skills for her. She squeezed out her hair turning to glance at the bed which now had very rumpled sheets. Her vision easily spotted the sweat stains and orange peels littered on the blankets. With a final grin she walked into the kitchen picking up the last of the oranges and stuffing them into a trash bag she returned to the bathroom. She glanced up at the ventilation shaft and let out a final sigh; confined spaces would never be as good as a straight up brawl.
She turned towards Sunny stooping on her knee and cupping her hand to give him a leg up to the shaft. When they were both finally up into it she spoke "Lead on Twinny. We'll both follow you." With the cerebite moving first, she crawled after it so that if a fight arose upahead she'd be the first involved. Growing tired of the confined space she smiled as her form shifted around on itself until she was much smaller. Her skin also took on the same glow as Sunny's so that she could see more effectivley. After hours of crawling and what seemed like several wrong turns the cerebite stated that they'd arrived. She sighed kicking downwards hard which opened the grate of the shaft as she dropped down prepared for a fight instead she came face to face with Tyamius. "Oh (please do not swear)!" she said turning in a fast high kick before she noticed the others in the shadows around him. Her foot stopped an inch from his head as she hopped out of the way to allow Sunny down. "Hey guys. Sorry to keep you waiting. Sunshine had to take a shower."

Sunny decided to expeiment with how far their powers could be expressed though eachother. He tried to shorten his upper arms and thighs to more easily crawl through the cramped vents. They finally reached where the others were. 62 seemed to dip his head in relief when he saw his kid. Ghost was looking in a weakened state but he seemed a bit moe involved with the others than before. Mateus... he didn't look angry but gave more of a look of a disapproving parent. Then there was a threatening figure. His eyes were eerily similar to what Sunny's eyes once looked like and he had a deformed arm. All around them there were shifting figures in the shadows. Sunny could hear them effect the sir but the sound waves didn't bounce of them. Sunne couldn't get a good look at them, his glow dispersing.
"Um, yeah, hi guys. So, wanna catch up?"

Tyamius attempted to smile as the two people joined the group but he was sure his fanged grin would scare them. His wound was partially healed, the shadows had worked the bullet out and covered the wound. He was host and they were his protectors similar to that of a parasitic relationship. "Uh hi...please don't be afraid of me...I'm experiment 272, Designation Tyamius after an old myth of a man who could control shadows..." he said as he approached Sunny and Eliseai. He stopped short as the light from Sunny hit his shadows and the disappated, he stepped back and the reformed.
"Hmm interesting..." he said eyeing the pair "You are my opposite...what is your name?"
The shadows became more frantic, yelling in Ty's head causing him to double over. "brother...brother...betrayer boy...he is the one they created to kill you!" The shadows repeated over and over again. "SHUT UP! SHUT UP JUST STOP!" he yelled screaming and writhing on the ground in pain. His arm bubbled as the shadows formed into a blade, then a claw, then his normal arm. "Please....stop them...." he sobbed.

Mateus looked down at Tyamius as he writhed around, the voices in his head doing something. Mateus saw himself there, for a spilt second, and knelt, placing his hand on Tyamius head. Immediately, he jumped into s mind, a mental battle a is we're. It looked like just Mateus against thousands of shadow demons, all roaring at him. Mateus let them scream. He waited for a moemnt, before unleashing a torrent of his own nightmares. Every fear he ever inflicted rushed into the shadows like a horde of insects, glowing white like sunlight. The roar was deafening, both Mateus and Tyamius hearing it. The. It was over, and Tyamius' head was silent. Mateus withdrew from his mind, shaking. "They'll stay quiet for now. But they'll be back. You'll have to learn to talk to them... Or fight them.

"Silence...silence...so quiet...so peaceful." He muttered, the shadows still swirling around him but in a more calm pattern. "Thank you...the voices of those who died at my hands. I'm so sorry I didn't mean to kill them but the doctor made me. She wanted to see how well one mind could contain hundreds and then I killed something important to her..." Ty smiled again,"So she cut my horns off and threw me in that cell." He pulled his hair back on the sides of his head to reveal a flat area on each side of his head.
"She will be mine..." He muttered as he stood and pulled the shadows into a shield. "Lets go..."

Ghost was sitting against the wall, seeming mesmerised by his own hands. He still hadn't quite come to terms with what he'd seen. He looked upwards, seeing Sunny and Eliseai, wondering partly where they'd been this whole time, before realising its been the objective till now
His eyes rolled around the room, the stain of his blood now a dark crimson, making him feel faint just to look at it. He found his feet looking between Tyamius and Matteus. One of clearly insane, the other with underlying mental issues. He couldn't take much comfort in the fact that he was in the company of psychos.
The returnees were dressed acutely, and he couldn't help but feel ill treated, still cold with his own fluid. Using the wall as support, he got to his feet, and began to walk down the corridor. He'd found a goal, sparked from the curiosity of his passed, some people had to talk, some files had to be read. Maybe after that, he could wander aimlessly once more.

Eliseai had stepped forward as his arm had begun to morph, a defensive movement in front of Sunny. As Mateus knelt to deal with him she slowly stood down although her hands were still curled in preparation to fight. She saw Ghost stumbling across the wall and she strode forward as the others gathered around Tyamius to help Ghost. She reached out as he kept moving and wrapped his arm around her shoulder standing straighter to help him walk. "It's okay. I have you." she walked slowly and quietly holding him up. As they moved she reached into the trash bag she'd tied to her belt while in the ducts and produced an apple from. She slowly allowed him to hold onto her as they kept moving, in order to shift her hand into a blade and cut the apple into smaller pieces. She then held it out to Ghost. "here eat this. It'll feel good and give you strength."
They kept walking while she waited for him to take the food. "I apologize." she said quietly as they turned a corridor. Her gaze kept on in the darkness. "The new one...what is your opinion of him Ghost?"

He took the apple and pocketed it, clearly still unwilling to pull down the mask. He was remotely surprised with the help, his knees did feel weak. He was having to restore a lot of blood, so the rest of his body was struggling as his metabolism shifted.
He looked down to her, and in truth he hasn't given Tyamius much thought. The seemingly distant memories of him speaking to the catatonic Ghost, to him breaking the canon with little more than the extension of his mind. He realised the power he commanded and how little he could do about it.
"He's powerful... more than any of us... and insane, that's clear enough..."
He paused making sure his judgement was fair, the man took a bullet like a paintball after all. The same which had nearly killed him.
"If he breaks down, get out the way, because you can't stop him, I know I can't...."
He looked down at her, through the darkness to which his eyes had not yet adjusted. Once again he felt confused about her appeal, but furthermore, he thought he saw a syringe in her hand, and in the darkness a faint but incessant giggle.
At least he could recognise his own mental problems.

Mateus stood near ghost and Ellesai, listening in. After a while, he put in "He's demented, sure, but Stable enough to be of use. And powerful. He was likely created purely for Offense, and developed defensive powers during the training. I think he'll be useful. I wonder which project he was made for? Eve? Titan? Gemini? Maybe even Morpheus. We're close enough to Arachnae's lab for him to have been one of her lots, but near enough to Romulus to have that chance as well." He tapped his chin. Guess we'll find out." Opening the next door along, Mateus froze.
He stood in the doorway, looking around. "It's... It's... But why did they keep it?" He stepped inside, the lights flickering on. It was a warm coloured room, with 2 large Sofa's and an armchair, a computer and a bunch of tables. There were bookshelves all around, filled with handwritten documents and other typed copies. "My room... My office. Why is it the same as before?"

"I was a one of a kind...Project Exercitus unum Hominem literally translates to One Man Army...I was designed to take soldiers off the battlefield and be able to dismantle entire armies single handed...I'm a monster..." He said, smiling the whole while. "Best keep talks about me mental if you don't want me to know. The shadows hear all..."
As the door opened Ty was astonished he'd never seen such a nicely decorated room, or had he...he couldn't remember he kept having flashbacks but they were blurred. He remembered having a brother but his name was unknown to him. "I think...I think i've been here before..." he muttered touching the sofa, running his hand over it and an image hit him, his brother being dragged away as he was shackled he could here the shouts in his mind. "Mateus...what was your job here?"

Eliseai helped Ghost inside to sit on the couch. She watched the others poking around and glanced over at him. "You should eat." she stood leaving the trash bag to stride over to the council. She poked at it and suddenly it lit up.
"Oh hello Eliseai."
"Archanae," her voice was thick with venom.
"A pleasure as always Eliseai. I'm glad to see that you and your lover are just as resourceful as always. But this is a warning."
"What kind of warning. Are you going to blow this place sky high just to destroy me."
"No I won't have to. Because you're going to help me."
Eliseai paused with a questioning look on her face.
"We are transmitting this so that you can only see and hear it with your cortical implant. That new subject, he is a monster,a danger. And you will destroy him."
"No I won't. I'm not playing your games."
"Eliseai...please stop wasting your time. You're sick and you know it. Don't you."
"What do you mean?"
"You're having trouble remembering things. People, places, and even faces. I bet when you walked in you didn't remember this place."
"I've never been here before."
"Yes, you have. You were treated many times."
"You're lying”
“No I'm not. Even this morning you were having trouble with how you got here.”
“You need treatment. And we won't give it to you unless you deliver him to us.”
“I'd rather forget than come back to you.”
“If you deliver him you and Sam will be given a running start. On my word.”
“You don't have a word. No.”
“Fine. But when you start having trouble remembering Sam, the deal is still open.”
Eliseai sat against the console visibly shaken.

Mateus was a bit distracted, looking through the files in his room, but turned to answer Tyamius. "I was the child psychologist. Or... One of them, seeing as I never actually saw half of the subjects. But I talked to and helped the children understand what was going on. I thought I was doing good work, to begin with. Then, I kept working because I couldn't leave. Guilty conscience and all." Galbcin over at Ellesai, Mateus frowned, "Ellesai. What's wrong? You look like you've seen... Well, something bloody awful anyway." He said, realising that technically they had all seen a ghost.

Eliseai had begun to chew on her hand which was quite a leap from her usual lip chewing. She was rocking back and forth against the console slightly. Her eyes were beginning to water even. But she looked up. "No. Sorry. I was just thinking about something else. I shouldn't do that." She pushed off the console to sit next to Ghost again. Her eyes were focused on Tyamius as her shaking hands peeled an orange. She was so focused on him that she lifted a piece of peel and chewed it swallowing without noticing.
Sunny could feel the cold dark terror that had crawled up her spine and seemed to be sitting on her shoulders. She was still chewing an orange peel and staring straight ahead. Slowly she seemed to realize and she swallowed the peel with a grimace and replaced it with orange. Her rainbow eyes were focusing and she turned to look at Ghost who still hadn't eaten the apple.
She began to rub her head. "What's the plan? Can we hurry before shadows here loses it?"

Ty saw a flash in his memory a boy being taken away. He was crying, his sandy brown hair was matted down and he kept yelling a name..what was the name who was he? He felt arms on his shoulders and a Doctor in his face telling him to stay calm as he slipped into blackness.
He opened his eyes and he hadn't moved, he could only wonder who was that boy? He heard Eliseai comment about him "losing it" and he snapped back. "Lose it!? You think I'm some sort of time bombed? I know what i'm doing and I'm going to find that (please do not swear) who did this to me. He smiled wickedly and felt the shadows return. The bubbled on his arm and part of his chest forming the layer of scales that saved him from the bullet earlier. The formed a layer of what would be armor and his shirt ripped, hanging from the one sleeve. "I've seen enough...I wanna find a way out of here.
"You don't even realize that I have part of your dna...the shifting shadows from gemini, polar opposited from super nova, I was supposed to be given more dna from prometheus, and I have minor telepathy but only to talk to what would've been command. I am a walking bomb but I am bomb with a fuse that has yet to be lit." Ty smiled again before looking for a way out of the room.

Eliseai's gaze hardened. "You know you really sound stupid rattling off things you don't know. Gemini is a technology implantation program that functions off of chemicals most often seen in sexual relationships and translates those chemicals of companionship to cause a connection in individuals that borders on giving them a singular personality." she reached up tapping her eyebrow implant. "It's a very obvious sign that you are one if you have one of these. Me and Oscar were the first prototypes for it. And recently it has come to light that Sunny was given one too."
Her voice had an edge to it that continued to grate at Tyamius as she went on. "And you don't have anything like my dna in you. Or you would be dead right now. I'm a scientific miracle. They tried to clone me and all 10 clones died in a pile of goo or went mad. I'm the only success of Project Changeling." to herself she lightly thought *and even I might not be as resounding as was thought*. She was all sharpness and crankyness as she continued. "You might have bits of the others in you. I don't know. I don't... I don't..remember...your file." she stumbled slightly over admitting she couldn't remember him. Her brain felt like she'd heard of his project...but trying to recall gave her a head ache, which in turn only made her more sharp. "We all know you lived in a cell. But don't sling terms you don't get. You're claiming wounds you don't have and couldn't understand if you tried." She'd finished her orange, and apparently dismissed him because she stood up stepping past Tyamius with a very critical look in her eyes as she moved for the door. "I need some air."
