((Awesome acronym, by the way.))<br/>As the doors slide around Adan to let him inside the cell, it's noticeably colder inside.  Not just a bad feeling or a shiver up the spine cold, but a severe drop in the temperature.  The lone occupant of the plain white cell is wearing a blindfold, ball gag, anti-noise earphones, and a straight jacket...  Though it's impossible to tell for sure, he certainly seems awake, sitting upright and still on the room's bench.  His skin is ashen pale and his head has been shaved clean.  Considering his restrained state, it's a wonder he doesn't starve to death in here.<br/><br/>Just outside, however, Raul sees a shadow flit down at the end of the hallway.  It was only for an instant, but it looked like it ran into one of the other cells.<br/><br/>---<br/><br/>"Do stop squirming, those straps are stronger than your scales and you've injured yourself once already.  though you probably don't remember it by now.  Side effects of the adanine."  He checks one of the monitors thats' facing away from Tasu's position, "And you'll be getting more of it to get rid of any discomfort the tubes are causing."<br/><br/>he looks, almost gazes at the monitor for a little longer.  "I don't guess we'll be studying you for a long time, though once this egg is out of you, I'd guess that the tests should ease up significantly."  He finishes writing down whatever notes he needed and starts to walk back towards the door.  "In fact, your friend is resting comfortably now...  She was under a similar experiment and laid her egg just yesterday.  Call it something to look forward to while you dream."<br/><br/>---<br/><br/>The fairy thinks a moment, he hand still wandering down...  "Hmm, I like Kitty.  Our friend here is getting quite a show...  How about we pull him up on stage?"  A copy of the fairy appears behind Turk for an instant and gives him a rough push.  He falls forward, but his clothes stay frozen in place, falling to the ground as he falls forward into the two.  He's a little shocked to be suddenly naked, though it certainly hasn't hindered his natural instinctive response to the situation.<br/><br/>---<br/><br/>It's not particularly difficult for Lance and Serene to find the map.  As would be expected, it even has a nice red outlined emergency exit route.  This is turning out to actually be pretty straightforward.<br/><br/>---<br/><br/>As Wil landed, the light stripe in the floor lit back up, though it's hard to gauge how much dimmer it is now than before.  After a moment of silent walking, the sound slowly whirs back to life again, along with the scientist's voice,  "Those were very nice rallying speeches, but I'm afraid you both have only five minutes remaining, and quite a bit more than five minutes of path ahead of you at your current pace."<br/><br/>---<br/><br/>The scientist looks around for something more to distract the stalking slimegirl, and notices the little mouseboy.  She swoops in and is about to toss him to the googirl, but notices his gesturing to the vent.  She glances at the vent and back at the mouseboy, "Ah, what the hell, may as well show you."  She grabs him by the scruff of the neck and lifts him up to look at the vent from her perspective.<br/><br/>Just past the grating is the familiar shine of thick lexan, "The place is sealed water tight...  for obvious reasons."  He turns him to look at her.  "Sorry, but you're my last hope."  She tosses him at the googirl, though in this case, her aim is way off, and he goes flying over her head.<br/><br/>"Ah, dammit."
