Part 7
The souls of the boots he had put on his host clanked down the metal corridor. Everything he needed to know was stored in that fleshy bulge Dimension Dwellers called a 'Brain'. It was amusing really, it was something like a 'Bank Account' he had found out about. Where creatures put money in and take it out whenever they want, except he was taking out infomation whenever he wanted. He had got a strange feeling that someone was keeping a eye on him however...like Jaze. Jaze, was the fiancé and the hardcore trooper who had stood by him. He who loved Ilane to bits and would do anything for her. However, he was starting to act strangely around 'her' and Arias thought that he might be onto something. The whole 'Ordering him out of the room, getting a shower and putting new clothes on while blind' may have been a give away but Arias was starting to get bored of this low-grade sheepish life and felt like a change anyway. They approached the Lab doors, Arias smiled as memories of the previous incident flooded back to him...hopefully that Scientist was dead, he had gone to alot of effort to make it look realistic, doing the whole 'Water in the eye' thing aswell seemed to get some sympathy. The electronic doors hummed open and Arias walked slowly down the corridor, arms linked with Jaze'.
Arias: "Where's Arike?"
Jaze: "He got called to the Generals office, something about a missing prisoner and him been seen last with him."
Jaze pushed the button for the lift, but this time it opened straight away...no waiting necessary. Stepping inside a bright white light greeted them from above and below. The lift was well lit...abit too well lit really. Arias shifted un-comfortably in the body of his female host. His kind were not keen on bright lights, which came as a big dis-advantage in one of the Dimensions he know's.
Finally the lift came to a halt and opened at a bright, white room. It looked like a marble surface and had many suiets and small glass tables scattered around. One thing that did strike him as odd was the mirror on one side of the room, it was directly opposite the lift and was quite large, not one someone would use for preening oneself, however he dismissed the thought as quickly as it entered. It was very much like a Dentists reception, except on a much larger scale with a much sinister atmosphere to it.
Jaze: "Jus' sit over there, ok babe?"
Arias nodded 'her' head and went to one of the suites, sitting down slowly. He scanned the memory banks of his host quickly but no trace of this place came up. There was alot of speculation about it but no record of this area what-so-ever. It was all new, to him and the body. Arias looked around, the lights were inside the ceiling and air conditioning whirred almost silently. A plant sat in the corner of the room, its green leaves looking incredibly colourful in the bland room. And thats when he noticed. A security camera just behind it, it was also white, well camoflaged...but he had caught a glimpse of it as its lense whirred and zoomed in.
Arias: "Erm...Jay...i'm feeling abit ill, could we come here another time."
Jaze turned around from standing in front of the mirror.
Jaze: "Not right now, ok?"
Arias: "B-but, im ill Jay...and confused. Where's the Doctors and Scientists!?"
Jaze sighed. He scratched his short blackish hair. His blue eyes staring at 'Ilane'.
Jaze: "Your not yourself Il, something happened to you out there. You act like you can see...when all signs point to you being blind. Hell, you hardly have a pupil left!!"
Arias then realised it had all been a trap. Jaze telling him to walk to this suite...a normal blind person couldn't do it, not without help. Arias stood up, the tight, white top he was wearing seemed to match the surrounding area.
Jaze: "Dont make this harder for me babe, sit down ok? Be co-operative."
Arias snarled, just as he did panels in the walls opened up. Two heavy armoured guards stepped out of one of them. They held cattle-prods and other large assortment of weapons. From the other panels stepped out the Dr's and Scientists. Arias growled.
Arias: "Dont...even...dare."
He stared at one of the Guards as he said this, his eyes glowering fiercly at him. A small chuckle escaped the Guards lips and he lunged forwards. Arias jumped back, the electricity humming exitedly as it just missed.
Arias: "CALL THEM OFF JAZE!!"
Jaze: "You need help, they just want to check you out ok? Make sure everythings ok."
The Guard lunged again, but Arias side stepped. Grabbing the attackers arm, he pulled him towards him and punched the plastic visor that covered the Guards face. It shattered. The other Guard then stepped in and tried to attack from the side. Arias merely put his captive in the way of the weapon and watched as he got taken out by one of his allies. The body dropped onto a glass table, shattering it into small chunks.
Scientist: "Come now Ilane, be reasonable...help us, help you."
The voice was rasp and nearly distracted her.The remaining Guard eyed Arias up suspiciously and cautiously, awaiting her next move. She didn't make one, and merely turned around to face Jaze. Thats when the Guard saw his chance and practicly flung himself at his opponant. Only to be knocked unconcious by her ducking out of the way and high kicking him on the side of his helmet. The force took him out easily.
Arias: "Anymore?"
A female laugh from behind her made Arias turn swiftly. It was another Scientist, this one holding a clip board. But she made no movement to attack.
Arias: "You wanna try your luck?"
Female Scientist: "Nope...not really."
Arias chuckled. The sound of crashing was the only thing he remembered after that. Jaze had hit her with one of the chunks of glass, knocking the body unconcious and sending Arias into a paralytic state. The eyes of the body had closed and he was unable to make movements, even the simplest of ones. All he could do was listen.
Scientist #1: "And what is the probvlem with it?"
Jaze: "Its her...not 'It' and she has been acting differently. I dont know, like...something terrible had happened after she had confronted this intruder."
Scientist #3: "What Introoder would that be?"
Jaze: "We dont know for sure, but she radioed in asking for permission, recon gave her it and then she radioed back with a SOS."
Scientist #2: "Git scouts in that area where she was situated. In the mean time, we will extract some visuals from da brain and then operate on her eyes...t'is ok, yes?"
Jaze: "Yes, and thankyou."
(Sorry its abit crap...again, im knackered.)
