I trust you have been briefed on the dangers of this post?"  Director Dubain is dressed in a crisp business suit, talking over one shoulder to the man following without looking up from reading his file, "This is the subject storage level, you will be guarding and handling some of the most dangerous sentient and semi-sentient beings on the planet.  The research level and living quarters are only accessible from the main elevator.  If there is a situation, there are no escape routes."<br/><br/>"Yes sir, I choose to believe the reward exceeds the risk." Lieutenant<a class="postlink" href="https://aryion.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=33&amp;t=15504&amp;p=345963#p345963">Raul Mendova</a>'s speech only has a hint of Latino accent, though his appearance shows a great deal more ethnicity than his voice.  "And if the rest of the team are as capable as I, then there won't be a situation."  The statement is without pride, He<span style="font-style: italic">knows</span>he's that good.<br/><br/>The two walked down past the well lit artificial windows and clear, backlit maps of the Chimera Project.  Their route took them down an elivator that felt like it had been in freefall for several seconds.  Raul could only guess how far underground they had gone.  From the look of the map, the rooms got more and more heavily armored the further down they were, until the very bottom floor just indicated a hallway leading to an "x".  Every three levels also had two rooms, marked "Scenario Room", one at each end.<br/><br/>The artificial outdoor scenery stopped being visible, and the windows looked in on simple white holding cells, each with one human-looking resident.  Raul could feel the stares from the inmates on him like static electricity on his skin, and jumps a little when DuBain speaks again, "You will be stationed on floor seventeen.  You will be dealing with Delta class threats, as you don't have any metahuman abilities yourself.  You do not have authorization to go below floor twenty."  The director closes the folder with a little clap, "Before you are escorted to your post, I will take you to Personnel Recovery and get you acquainted with our medical staff, as you will be dealing with them quite a bit."<br/><br/>The last cell before the secondary elevator has the first anthropomorphic being Raul has ever seen, a tall humanoid<a class="postlink" href="https://aryion.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=33&amp;t=15504&amp;p=354039#p354039">red fox</a>still wearing travelers clothes rather than a prisoner jumpsuit.<br/><br/>---<br/><br/>Turk walked down the hallway of level 12, Technically, he was called a 'researcher', but he knew he wasn't more than a janitor.  Every now and then he would get to help the guards or bring food to prisoners.  Now he just had an order to 'visit' one of them, Something about looking at the order gave him a sense of deja-vu, but he couldn't remember it exactly.<br/><br/>As he headed to his destination, he noticed a familiar face coming up the hallway, a tall and elegant anthropomorphic tigress who, despite technically being a prisoner, was almost always cheerful and personable for some reason that Turk never thought to think about. "Oh, hi,<a class="postlink" href="https://aryion.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=33&amp;t=15504&amp;p=353144#p353144">Stripes</a>.  Just out for a walk, or are you visiting someone?"<br/><br/>---<br/><br/><a class="postlink" href="https://aryion.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=33&amp;t=15504&amp;p=353176#p353176">Greggory</a>had gotten dangerous assignments before.  It had been rumored the level 21 situation room had been converted to a holding cell for a particularly powerful subject.  The orders were to simply talk...  Apparently to get some kind of reaction out of him.<br/><br/>As the door opens under its own power, another closes behind the young scientist.  The room seems endless, well lit, and white.  On the floor not more than a few feet from the door, is a somewhat normal looking human.  Though closer looking reveals that<a class="postlink" href="https://aryion.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=33&amp;t=15504&amp;p=352753#p352753">Wil</a>is more powerful than he looks.
