The girl nodded frantically, downing another glass of milk. "These emotions, th-they're...well...god it's j-just so...everyone thinks of doomsday. All I can think about is making sure everyone g-gets out s-safely...even if it m-means...that..." She trailed off, calming down a little. She smiled at Nine, her bloodshot eyes looking calmer. The green shone in the light, and it almost drowned out the red. "Never mind that. I want to make sure you're ready...meet me outside. It's time to see how you fare in hand-to-hand. I'll be able to traverse the vents, but you and Four must be ready in case you're pushed to fight..."

Thirteen looked tired. Weary. She felt like she would fall over the moment she stood. "Five...have you seen Five?" She glanced nervously. "I can't leave him behind..!" She began to shake again, her thoughts slowly becoming foreign to her. She looked like she was in a haze. "Oh no...no no..."

[AJ Fawxe]

Alex smiled faintly at her and simply listened to her ramble about the thoughts racing through her mind. It was only fair given how much she had done for him already. How much she'd listened to him, understood. His smile grew wider once she started focusing on the calm, clockwork nature of his thoughts sharing in his peace. When she asked to see his skill in hand to hand combat he arched a brow and wondered just how skilled she was, herself. Getting up to follow her she heard him ask about Five and he blinked and searched his mind. "Eh, no, I don't even know who exactly Five is."


Alex sucked in a quick breath and grabbed her by the shoulders and looked at her, "Thirteen, what is it?"

[Lavender_Stripes]

Thirteen felt her cheeks grow hot before she calmed down, thoughts ticking through her head like clockwork. "It's...nothing. Nothing. C'mon, we have work to do." Thirteen gave him a brisk hug before she exited, stretching herself and waiting out on the lawn. On occasion, she would look behind to make sure Nine was there. "C'mon, you make the first move."

[AJ Fawxe]

Alex smiled and hugged her back, following her out onto the lawn and rolling his shoulders looking at her a bit uncomfortably before carefully closing the distance. "I hope you're certain about this, just tell me once it's enough, alright?" Alex's careful analysis told him that no one would invite violence upon themselves unless they were at least fairly certain they could go toe to toe with the person, though Alex just couldn't attribute hand to hand combat with the angelic tabby.


Looking her over Alex decided to make a snap jab to her left shoulder and then quickly open his paw after the somewhat soft strike to grab her shoulder. The spare paw was hovering between them, ready to swipe away any attack to his upper body.

[Lavender_Stripes]

Thirteen felt her training overcome her, and all at once she dropped to the ground. The cat's pupils narrowed, and she resembled a hardened predator. "Remember, I'm built for stealth and speed. What we'll be up against will be all-around strengthened," she started while moving to roll between her opponent's legs before taking a swipe at his ankle with her tail. "Don't loose sight."

The cat, provided she was successful, would then stand, though still crouched low, ready to dart away at a moment's notice. Her ear twitched and she restrained her instinct to climb the building to find a small space to hide. "I am the ultimate assassin, the Living Lie Detector. Let's see how the Supercomputer fares." Oh now she's just teasing.

[AJ Fawxe]

Alex was, admittedly, taken aback by how quickly the soft eyed tabby sprang into action, however Alex had already shifted into his computing mindset, so when he realised that action and quick thinking was needed, Nine was swift to turn and shift into a narrow profile which left far less of him in reach and just as little vulnerable to direct attack. "Alright, I made the mistake of letting my empathy belittle your threat. Once a computer corrects bad data, though. It doesn't let that happen again." Nine smiled knowingly and started to analyze her stance, then sprang into action. Running through counter-tactics and shuffling his thoughts to leave him less vulnerable to her mind reading as he made to kick out at her then tucked the leg and instead spun around and went for a hook kick-a reverse roundhouse-with his other leg.

[Lavender_Stripes]

Thirteen tumbled forward, tucking her head under her legs as she brushed off the blow. She smiled, nodding. "Good." The cat sprung forward with surprising speed, her head aimed straight at his abdomen. With luck, she would tackle him to the ground and attempt to pin him. "But I don't lose easy."

[AJ Fawxe]

Nine stepped backwards and turned his back foot and crouched low to make himself more stable. Even with his sturdy stance the hybrid still had to stagger back a step, however vulnerable he might have been he still had the wherewithal to realise that she had put herself into a tactically compromising position and reached to get a firm grip of the back of her shirt. "I doubt you do Thirteen, but you can still lose." Nine sneered a bit as he also moved to get a grip of her shoulder.

[Lavender_Stripes]

As he gripped her, her own grip on him tightened. Her feet planted firmly in the ground, and her small yet fit muscles flexed as she not only prepped for his plan, she planned to flip him. Just as she started, however, the cooler air had begun to sap at her strength and ability. She cursed herself. She was made for hiding and acrobatics, not head-on confrontation! The girl tensed, preparing herself for the worst.

One still sat on her bed having spent the entire night like that, her eyes opened weakly to reveal that she had slept next to nothing. She looked around the room before throwing a few sets of clothing into a bag. Tapping at her mask she shrugged and placed the bag just by the door she probably wouldn't come back for it but having it there wouldn't hurt right.  Looking down at her hands she shrugged away the nightmares she had before making sure her mask was on tight and walking towards the cafeteria, she would eat as much as she could to build up her strength knowing full well that stabilizing a current would be a very hard task indeed.

Analyzing security. Vulnerable port detected. Accessing compromised area. Launching malicious data hack. It was a system that worked in the exercises and Nine saw that it worked well in hand to hand as well. Hoisting her up off her feet and sliding the paw on her shoulder closer to her neck he was in the perfect position to slam her down and crack the back of her head against the ground, providing she had no other tricks up her sleeve. However realising that such an act would have no point and that this itself was merely an exercise the hybrid stopped and looked her in the eyes. "Are we done Thirteen?"

Three yawned as he woke up and began to slide to the side of his bed. He needed to get something to eat. It was strange normally people would have been called out already for trainings and more. Was it because of what Two had said? That special program that the Administration wanted to start up would be cause that nothing had occured?
The feline didn't bother at this point, he was still tired and wanted to get some food in his stomach.
 
His clothing was soon fetched and put on as the male made his way into the hallway. Several personal walked by but did not glance at him. He was happy with this, why would the feline want to socialise with humans anyway. They were the cause of much discomfort. He rather wished to find some of hs fellow subjects and just have a quick chat or merely just enjoy their company.

[Lavender_Stripes]

"Yeah." Thirteen felt herself blush. "You're lucky I didn't have any vents." More joking. It was to hide her apprehension, though. She didnt feel certain about herself. She shook a little. "You think you can make it over when it happens..?" Over the wall, that is.

[K0brA]

Five woke up fairly well rested, and fortunately another dreamless night sleep. Or at least he had no recollection of any dreams. He made his way out of bed and did his morning preparations exactly as he normally would before making his way out of his room and to the cafeteria to get some breakfast. Glancing out a window, he saw two subjects having a little spar outside. Looked like Thirteen and someone else he wasn't too familiar with. He shook his head though as the match barely seemed to last that long at all, muttering to himself some condescending statement about how neither of them are really trained for truly fighting like that, then continued his trip to the cafeteria as the match was clearly ending there.

Upon entering, he saw a couple other subjects had already made it. He grabbed a tray of some foods and took a seat at a not yet occupied table.

[Fitzwilliam Jinglesworth]

 Four woke up, stretching. He lay on his bed, staring up at the ceiling, for a little while before finally deciding to get up, shower, and brush his teeth. He then headed over to the cafeteria for breakfast, spotting Five at a table. The goat waved to him, coming over to the table with his tray.

"Mind if I sit here?"
