Unification

[Soul Reaper]

103024302, you are cleared to dock.

There wasn’t even a hint of metallic sound inside the seemingly-lifeless station as the outer docking hatch opened for the Avenger to enter, and closing after it seamlessly. The station just looked like a large black box with some sharp edges on the surface when it was completely locked down. The Avenger bobbed up and down slightly as the flight corridor was pressurized with atmosphere, the inner hatch opened, the Avenger slipped in silently and landed on one of the pads. Thick glass walls silently extended from the floor to the ceiling to effectively trap the ship in a box. Many gases and liquids were released into the chamber while several high-frequency lasers ran across the height of the glass chamber, the decontamination was complete after two minutes, the gases were vented out and the glass walls slid back into the floor. The Avenger’s side hatch opened and a figure, dressed in all black and grey with an even darker colored long trench coat, silently -just like the rest of the whole station- stepped out onto the platform and headed to the only raised floor area other than the pads themselves.

Four heavily armed and armored guards were on each corner of the raised pad that was adjacent to a wall; the guards didn’t move, twitch or even look at the figure that stepped onto the pad until he was at the wall, and then they suddenly raised their weapons and concentrated on the figure, one wrong move and four armor piercing rounds would tear through his head in an instant.

The man put his hand on a console obviously made to fit the particular human limb. At the same time he looked straight forward as a small hatch on the wall was opened and a retinal scanner extended out, beaming a laser into the man’s eye, at the same time he talked with a crystal-clear but cold voice.

One Zero Three Zero Two Four Three Zero Two.

A single needle on the hand scanner pierced his skin, collecting a blood sample to analyze. The man stood the exact same was for a few more seconds until a high-pitched beep resonated throughout the whole hangar, part of the wall next to the console had 'fallen in' without a sound, a green light was seen come out for a second, then changed to a normal white.

The guards lowered their weapons and returned to their 'normal' stature.

The man went inside and the ‘atmosphere’s instantly changed from dark and lifeless to a blinding white, high frequency lights were all over the walls and corridors, a mid-aged man clothed with a white coat –obviously some kind of doctor or scientist-, looking as if he were in his 40s, approached.

Welcome back Agent Mitchell.
Her status has changed, you said.
Indeed, 'her' status has changed.

The professor clearly wasn’t happy about giving it some kind of personality, but no one on the entire station questioned Agent Mitchell. They started walking through the many corridors and passes of the station, the lighting never changing, always a bright white, they had passed several doors.

Tony had always been amazed by the subtlety of the research station; there weren’t even any signs, labels or boards on the walls or even next to the doors, anyone not knowing the entire structure of the maze of corridors with the same bright color would get lost almost instantly. But as the station administrator, Tony of course knew all the pathways of the station. A few minutes later they came upon one of the doors, it was the exact same of all the other doors and had nothing different whatsoever, it slid open as soon as they came close, and closed right after they were inside. The interior was much different from the corridors, not as bright but still white. There was a heavy metal door on the other side of the room with windows looking into an adjacent room. Several scientists were working on tables with holographic displays of DNA, organic tissue and other readings. Tony got closer to one of the windows and looked inside.
A young woman was sitting on the floor, her back resting on the far wall. She had been looking down with her forehead resting on her drawn up legs. The moment Tony had gotten closer to the wall, she looked up, her eyes could be seen as a glowing purple, looking straight at him.

I thought you said the material had been working against their telepathy.
Not at close range, the material only decreases their effective range to make it smaller, as far as we can tell, just like the others, 'she' isn't 'linked'.
Behavior?
Aggressive, just like the last one.

Tony stepped up to the door and punched in a code, the door hissed and slid to the side, closing the moment he was in.

Different.
Yes, I am.
Your doings will be your last.

Only her mouth moved, but she stood the exact same way even when Tony got close, he stood a bit to the side rather than right in front of her.

Release her chains.

The Young woman was chained from her arms and legs to the wall, a short electronic chain; they gave a click as they unlocked, the moment they did the young woman got up, ran and pushed with all her force against Tony, he simply side stepped and tripped her. She crashed head-first into the side wall but quickly turning to Tony again, her forehead bleeding but she stood still concentrated on Tony.

Explain to me, your reasons of living, thriving and behavior against mankind.

She stood silent for a while; her face muscles clearly showed her as if thinking, a second later she suddenly screamed with all her power and ran towards Tony again. This time he didn'€™t even bother moving to the side, he suddenly lashed out with his hand in a piercing motion directly to her throat, she stopped as if she had hit a steel wall and stuttered back, holding her throat. In a single and swift move, Tony was behind her; he held her throat from behind and pulled back and to the ground with all his strength, at the same time pushing his knee into her back. The single move broke both her neck and spine; she fell lifelessly to the floor. A second later the door opened and Tony walked out as if nothing had happened.

Same as the others, collect data from her body, hopefully it’ll bring you closer to the right chemicals to use.
Just like all the others?
Well, you are closer to finding something than you were when we first started, no?
True.
Good, get to work.

And with just that, Tony left the room and went to the hangar, only giving though as to why the project was moving so slowly even with the billions of credits that were being fed to him by the LSF. A short while later his Avenger was flying in the misty nebula of Alaska, he was headed to the Minor hole, the Zoners were needed.
