"We do our best to make sure our uniforms take a lot more then a stiff breeze to fly off. They have to survive many things. Wind is the least they will face." Rei left to watch Siren in the chemical shower, a few doctors making notes. Mostly they murmured about her state of health, one of them wondering if anyone could really make her believe she was something else than human. They were fascinated by her, though Rei found their interests boring. Science, mind, none of it really interested her. She turned away as the doctors began to upload their findings to the mainframe, leaving Rei to knock and finally enter.
She looked upon the woman, quiet. She looked refreshed, to say the least, moreso than Rei. Sighing, the pink-haired girl stepped back and motioned. "After you."

Standing, The woman looked herself over in the mirror just along the wall, knowing there were other individuals standing behind it. After that, she stepped out into what was now a different area all together, the decontamination room having one entrance and one exit. "Did they get a good show?" She asks with a smirk as they passed the closed door, behind which the doctors stood, going over their preliminary findings.
As they continued on down the corridor, Siren took her time taking it all in, there were laboratories off each of the small corridors they passed on their left and right, before eventually making it to a set of door labeled Examination."Am I to assume this is where today's events will take place?" She asks, trying to hide her nervousness behind words of strength. "I've said before, but I don't exactly like medical facilities~!"
"The medical facilities are necessary, sadly. I do apologize for the discomfort you will have to undergo with this, but it is something that must be done. The doctors here are some of the best, and it means we can see what makes you...you." Rei decided to not say if she enjoyed the show or not, and now motioned for her to enter.
Inside, Siren would find one of the most high tech medical facilities in the sector. Stark white like most and teeming with medical machinery, a single table was in the center, a pillow and blanket laid on it. "The blanket and pillow suck, but it's better than nothing. If we got the good stuff, then the scans would be off. So just lay down, rest, relax, and just be still." Rei motioned to a few doctors, who would turn the scanner on as the others monitored her vitals.

The moment Siren entered the large room, she felt a cold chill run up her spine. It was frightening how similar it looked to the room she spent the first 8 months of her life sitting in. She knew the memories were false, or at the very least, heavily tampered with, but there was still that feeling of dread that seemed to claw at her mind. "God.. it looks the same..." she muttered, looking to Rei for reassurance.
Finding her moving away, the woman hugged herself, rubbing her arms as she stepped up to the bed. "At least I know that I won't be disassembled like in my memories." She said with a weak laugh to one of the doctors closest to her, the woman nervous and anxious to get the days procedures over with. Moving up onto the table, she first sat, then laid back, feeling the ice cold metal against her back. The gown she wore was open at the back, and was the only article of clothing she had on at the moment. She tried to make herself comfortable, pulling the blanket up over her and nuzzling the back of her head into the pillow, yet it wasn't doing any good. A cold steel slab is a cold steel slab after all.
"S-So what's first, Rei~?" she called out, tilting her head up a bit to see where she was, "Blood samples or... t-tissue?" She asked, catching a glimpse of one of the doctors filling a syringe with some clear liquid.
One of the 3 doctors in the large room filling a syringe looks to Siren before glancing at Rei. He moves over to His patient so that she could better see him. "Well first be administering a Nanite Inhibiter, seeing as your body is full of them. From what little we know about them, they seem to augment your body's ability to heal itself while also negating and rejecting any outside interference." Placing a hand on her shoulder, he gives her a reassuring smile. "This shouldn't cause and undue harm, otherwise we would not be taking such steps. We do not know enough about your body or what was done to it, thus we will, over the course of the next few days, be keeping a close watch on how it reacts to certain stimuli and exertions."
"Commander Rei, I'll be placing the monitoring diodes on her now." Another doctor remarks out loud, moving up to Siren before carefully placing multiple round, monitoring devices on the woman's body. "I apologies for how cold they are, but they need to be to properly read your bodies heart rate , blood pressure and the like."
The diodes were in fact, ice cold, however, Siren didn't seem to feel any sort of discomfort from them. "That's fine. It takes a lot to make me cold~!" She says with a laugh. The doctor however looks to the first with an off expression before moving back to her monitoring station.
"Okay, this may sting a bit." the first doctor, a Bretonian from the sound of his voice tells her before administering the injection. As with the ice cold diodes, Siren didn't even flinch, not even as the uncomfortable and even colder fluid slowly forced its way into her arm. "Okay, it should take about 5 minutes for the inhibiter to take effect. Feel free to speak with her until we continue." he tells Rei before motioning for the 3rd doctor to follow him out of the room.
With a sigh Dr Josephine Schultz waits for the end of the docking procedure. "You know Bastet, there are times when I am overly happy to not listen to others beside the Grand Admiral. But once he starts to boss me around... I want a big syringe to use against him. Especially when the informations I get are so plain and simple." She stops and enters the orders to get able to enter Alexandria. "Yes, I know that I am curious what is behind it and since it isn't for developing new therapies for medical usage I accepted willingly... No need to remind me. And still I am curious like... a cat." Josi laughs quietly as a soft purr fills the cockpit of her Bastet MK II, grinning over the matching name the woman raises from her seat, taming her hair into a long, plaited braid and changes into her working clothes. If someone could call the outfit with a top and hotpants under her lab coat that way. Swiftly she bows down and picks the grey cat up, placing her around her neck before she opens the gate to set foot into the hangar and hurried to the room where her special 'patient' was waiting.
With a relaxed smile she enters the examination room, nodding to the pink haired agent and walking towards the woman laying on the table. At one point she tilts her head as if she listens to something and places the cat on the ground. "Go on, see if something catches your attention." So the cat strolls to the desk where the testresults will be lead to. The doctor herself stops beside the woman on the table looking down, still the small smile on her face. "Excuse me for being late but I was working elsewhere and it took me a while to get back here. I guess you are the more or less infamous Siren Stone, let me simply say it is a pleasure to meet you. My name is Josephine Schultz and the Grand Admiral put me in charge to see what they did with your mind and body." Josis pink eyes wander to the other woman in the room. "And I guess you must be Rei Ikari? We didn't met yet since you missed your appointment for the next examination but I got used to agents missing them. Just remember to come to the medical center when you notice any changes or feel diffrent than usual. Besides me there are other doctors who are awesome in what they do." A stern expression appears on Josephines face as she looks back down to her patient, giving neither on the two the chance to interrupt her she takes a moment searching for something in the eyes and face of her new patient, as she found what she was looking for a weak smile returns. "I will be honest with you Miss Stone, because something tells me that you lacked this kind of honesty from many people. Admiral Golanski put me in charge with the investigations what happened with your body, and also to say it bluntly your state of mind to see if you would snap and murder every single being in your way. But, just to let you know, I am still under the oath I swore when I became a doctor. So nothing you tell me will leave my lips, I will say if I think you are stable or not and what I found. But for your mental state your informations will stay between you and me."
It had been 15 minutes since the Nanite inhibitor had been administered to the silent woman lying on the cold steel table in the center of the large white room. She had remained silent for the most part, only muttering to one of the monitoring techs about a slight tingling sensation running through her body. However, the moment the doors opened and the blonde woman walked in with a cat on her shoulder, Siren couldn't help but crack a small smile. Cute, she thought to herself as she watched the cat ride the woman's shoulder then hop down and run across the floor to a point that she couldn't see. After that, she returned her gaze to a point in the ceiling, remaining still and quiet.
Listening to the doctor speak with Rei, Siren wondered if she would be afforded the same courtesy, Yet as Josephine inspected her eyes, Siren found that through her glasses, the doctor had a kind look to her own. "The Admirals sister told me I would eventually be required to undergo such examinations. Valkyrie was... she was kind to me when we first met; she told me I would be helpful to the Orders cause and that my service would eventually require that I stand in defense of what you all... what we all hold dear." She smiles, remembering that night that her recruiter had comforted her, the broken woman she was barely a year ago. "I simply count this as doing my duty." The way she spoke of such a thing sounded cold and calculating, with hardly any emotion. It was simply how she came across at times... like a machine.
Of course, by this point, she'd been lying in the same position for 15 minutes straight and the tense woman needed to adjust her position, thus she sat up. "As for my mental state... I can say that I won't attack anyone, but I'm not 100% on whether or not I'll turn terminator at a moment's notice. The LSF wiped who I was and all I am now is what they gave me..." She says, gripping her fist a few times in her lap before motioning to her wrist with her other hand. "This for one thing is something I hate above all else..." She mutters as a very thin, Ceramic alloy blade slowly pierces her wrist from within her arm, it sliding effortlessly through her skin without a single drop of blood.
Josephine whistles quietly as she sees the blade. "Well that is quite cool, and I bet really sharp... May I?" After a short nod from Siren Josephine takes a closer look at the skin around the blade. "Does it hurts when you move it out? It looks like a wound which only doesn't bleed because the cause of the wound locks the blood vessels but with that you would die from blood loose, well if the cut were diffrent. Or... maybe they changed it so it only pierce through the skin and leaves the vessels alone or..." Josephine mumbles as she keeps inspecting the weapon. "Do you have any other uhm... features added like this? Or any idea what they did with you?" A calming smile on her lips she releases the wrist from her examination. "Even if you don't know, I think we have what we need to find that out. But you need to keep in mind that we might find out good things and also unpleasant ones..."
The silent woman simply shook her head in regards to Josephine's question. Siren truly did not know what was done to her aside from what she'd figured out on her own as well as was told by the ones that made her as she is. If she were honest, Siren didn't like discussing what was done to her, period, though she knew this was not the time to be shy. "They don't hurt... or... rather, I know how to control the pain. My wrists don't bleed either... the nanites heal my skin before it gets that far." Thinking for a moment, Josephine's question brings a dawning thought. "Maybe the blood veins are temporarily cut off by my nanites while these are out? I know I've lost feeling in my hands before when I tried to see how long I could keep the blades out, but they seem to automatically retract when it gets to that point."
Carefully adjusting her wrist seeing as it was somewhat uncomfortable, she looks up to the doctor now with a weak smile. "These are the only real physical weapons inside my body. I do however have this..." Slowly moving her free hand up to her hair, Siren lowers her head, pulling some of her hair aside to reveal a small terminal port at the base of her neck. It was an invasive implant for sure, and one she tended to keep hidden if at all possible. "I can physically interface with most computers and visualize the code. Given enough time, I can go into a sort of trance and walk through the code to physicaly interact with it."
Retracting the blade now, she grips her fist a bit before turning on the table so that her doctor could get a better look at the implant. "I'm sure you know how holo-tainment bands work? How you can hack them and use them to mentally lock a person into a controlled mental environment and such? If I uplink to a set of these, I can mentally interrogate and.... do other things to them in order to get information and such." The exposed woman blushes lightly as she admits this, thinking back to all the times shed used such a method to be with her love, Nathan, even across vast distances of space.
Josephine takes a closer look, touching the interface lightly with her fingertips. "Seems like they made the perfect assasin slash spy of you... Those bastards might have done even worse bthings to you. Sadly this isn't my speciality so we migth need help with it. But..." She stops and walks around the table to talk face to face with her. "I can't stand to talk with a persons back this way it feels better for both of us I guess." With a gentle smile Josephine notices the red cheeks of her patient. She leans against the table her cat is sitting on, crossing her arms before her chest and her face gets a serious, slightly worried expression. "You can control where it takes you I guess. But... they must have added and changed things within your body and mind. With that there is the question if there is the possibility that you can be used by outsiders against your own will. In the worst case even while you are fully aware and you can't keep them from taking over your body. It might be best to clear it out if there is the possibility that you can be 'hacked' by those who did this to you or even worse others who simply want to damage whoever they can. I suggest we let this check as well. The Grand Admiral told me you came here because you got told you will get some kind of freedom, which makes it even more important to investiate on this point and, if possible place some kind of, stupidly said, firewall to protect you. But this is up to you, also maybe we can find something out about you with getting access to your terminal port. Still I personally won't force it upon you until your vital scans give a reason for it, so it is your decision. But I can't promise you it will stay like it."
