It took approximately five minutes before the first subject entered the cafeteria. It was the only female subject. She was dressed in loose clothes and had dark brown hair and striking, ferocious eyes. How fitting that she was planned to have enhanced sight and hearing. She did not look hesitant at all to cut anyone's throat if they pissed her off. Before sitting down at his table, she grabbed some food. Right. They had just taken a long journey across the barren lands of the Borderlands. They were hungry. Understandable. He was just eager to move on.<span style="font-style: italic">Where were the other two subjects?</span>he thought to himself, frowning a bit. Lucas dismissed her escort with the wave of his hand when the girl sat down. Before her escort left, he stuck a joke in that confirmed her feisty personality. As she looked into her soup bowl, he scanned her. She didn't look the strong physical type, but she did fit the quick and slender type.<br/><br/>Lucas turned his head away from the female subject before she could look up at him. He ran his fingers through his hair, trying hard not to sigh or express that much frustration. "So, are you the head here? Or are you just the one who got the sucky job of showing around the new kids?" he heard her question from across the table.<br/><br/>The young scientist looked back at the shorter girl. Despite her height, her features suggested that she was indeed younger than him by (a couple?) years. "I'm not the head, no, but I wouldn't consider explaining the importance of the bionic operation and its possible side effects to you a sucky job," he replied in a serious tone. If he didn't have his lab coat on, he would be making so many jokes. But that wouldn't be welcoming to the guests. "But anyways, welcome to the headquarters, Theadora. Hope you enjoy your stay."<br/><br/>Seconds later, a second subject walked past the blanket doors of the cafeteria. He was a bit taller than Lucas was. And buffer and tougher as well. There were two other male subjects. One was a recently banished scientist from Lumina, and the other was a well-known shop and innkeeper close to the big city, where criminals were everywhere. This man must have been the latter, as he surely did not look the part of the scientist. Lucas doubted a scientist of Lumina would be permitted to wear that many piercings, much less one, though he couldn't be sure. Lumina could have been the weirdest city ever. "I take it this is where we're meeting, then? Might I ask to whom I have the pleasure of addressing?" the new male asked politely.<br/><br/>"Dr. Lucas Amato," he responded simply. He would save the talking for when he was explaining the surgical procedures.<br/><br/>A second male entered soon after they introduced themselves to the first. He was taller than Lucas himself, and he was similar in height to the first man, but Lucas couldn't tell for sure. The second male was much lankier than the first, however. It was very visible. He presumed this man was the scientist who had worked in Lumina. He introduced himself as Dan Zuine and asked for everyone else's names in a similar fashion to the previous man. Lucas heard Dan mutter something, but he couldn't exactly make out the words.<br/><br/>"Right. Now that everyone is here, may I begin?"
