The nanites migrated from Tantomahl's body and into Zen's. As they neared Zen's brain they stopped and studied the nano's. Each of Dr. Wyatts' nanites was 1/10th the  size of Zen's nano's. They extended microscopic probes into the nano's memory centers and and downloaded their memories and experiences. Once finished, they swarmed over the nano's, rapidly assimilating their mass and using it to constuct more nanites. The number of nanites increased to 10 times their original number, enough to temporarily block all the hunger receptors in Zens brain. As they continued the work of their predecessors, they relayed the information they acuired about the chemicals flowing through Zen's brain...Dr. Wyatts sighed, his eyes returning to normal as he looked up from the sample. The information he recieved from Zen's new nanites and the scans he just performed on the sample confirmed his fears. "I'm sorry to tell you this but you all have been injected with a fluid called<br/>'Compound 5' It's actually 'Compound V' but only I and the other top scientists knew the V stood for 'Vore'. Everyone else assumed that it was the roman numeral 5 so that name stuck...Anyway, Dragox assuption is uncannily accurate. Compound 5 is a highly experimental liquid, combining 6 different metablism boosters with 4 adrenal stimulants. It's purpose was to make the Vorena battles more......entertaining......by increasing the ferocity of the predators and allowing more prey to be disposed of in the alloted time. Because of the metabolism boosters, even a full stomach won't last for more than a minute for most of the preds. Combining their increased adrenaline with the frustration of never feeling full, it turns it's victims into ravenous, vicious killers...Tears began to form in Dr. Wyatts eyes..."I saw lab rat's exposed to a vaporized solution of Compound 5 turn and devour each other. And then the last rat left standing went crazy and started eating himself......" He started sobbing at the memories. "I...I thought that...I had destroyed all the......the samples and research on that......abomination. That was what put me here......in the Vorena cell block......destroying the entire lab that......that........"<br/>Dr. Wyatts dropped his head into his hands and cried for the people here that were suffering because of his failure...<br/>-------------------------<br/>Rubar streaked across the ground, reaching Dr. Wyatt's lab in moments. He soared onto the roof and dropped down into the hole. Running down to Wyatt's cell he skidded to a stop and started sliding the unconsious guards off his scabard. "Dinner time..." he called, setting aside one sleeping guard and the young naked man for Zen to have. "Arkain? Dragon-Fox guy? I'm afraid that I only have one guard apiece for each of you..." He turned to the young man and said "Before Zen eats you, if you have anything to get off your chest...tell him about it. He's very understanding." The man nodded and walked into the room slowly, nervousely approaching Zen. (GOD...He's HUGE...) he thought to himself.<br/>"Rubar...rubar said that if I had anything to tell you before you ate me to do so now......so.....um....." The man started backing away again...not so sure about Rubar's advise...<br/>-------------------------<br/>Zaoaura leaned against the wall, not even caring about the black marks her crackling body were making on it's surface.<span style="color: #FF00FF">If there's ANYONE that needs to get stonger Zen, it AIN'T you...I've seen the tapes of what your capable of, and it even scares ME! I'm just glad that you're on OUR side...</span>
