Alex leaned against the wall more casually now and blinked as Three just walked right by him. It seemed unnatural for the feline to just not notice someone but perhaps he was in a rush. Sighing deeply with relief Alex began to walk away, confident in Three to get Thirteen out of harms way. Alex couldn't shake the feeling that it was all going to happen soon. Too soon he thought to himself. However time stops for no man, or anthro. Alex simply thought to himself as he walked then chuckled and stopped by his room and stacked his few belongings onto his bedsheet and wound it up. The fynx also took his pillowcase and held it tightly as he waited for the power to go out. "Alright guys, let's do this.. I can't wait any longer."

Thirteen thrust her arm between Three and Five, keeping her smile. The girl nodded, looking to Five and nodding as well. It was about that time, after all. "I'll need to grab a few things from my room first. I'm getting a headache. I'll find him and be out as soon as I can, promise." The girl started down the hall to her room, piling bottle upon bottle of pills and medications into her pouch which hung from her belt. She would need them. The small facility was one thing, and she could mostly handle the influx of information, but out there? She would need her help. The girl looked around, tilting her head. She walked down the hall, almost an odd calm coming over her as she exited to the lawn. Should she have bumped into Four, or anyone, she would have told them to meet her outside. Just a little fun was her cover. Had to look natural, after all.

The girl stood outside in the chilly air, realizing that her short top and shorts weren't going to be enough. Once out, she would have to keep warm any way she could.

Five looked off to the side a bit at Thirteens comments. "No one is very close to me. That's how I maintain control, I keep myself distant. That might sound selfish, but trust me, its for the sake of everyone around me." He unfolded his arms as he looked back at the feline. "Look, you're a good person. Stupid, at times, but a good person. Don't-... Three.."  Five turned to face Three as their conversation was interrupted, backing out of the talk for now and just listening.  He watched as Thirteen left the room and just stared through the empty doorway as he addressed Three.

"Nice cover up.. Four getting into trouble. Very likely. But Thirteen told me everything, and I know what you're doing. Trying to stop her from doing what she loves to do most. And for once I think we actually see eye to eye.." Five stared sternly at the male. "Keep an eye on her. She has every intent on doing something incredibly stupid and getting herself killed.." Five turned and started walking to the doorway to leave the room. "I wouldn't let her leave your sight a second time, if I were you.. At least not without saying goodbye first." And with that he left the room, heading towards his own. He had preparations of his own to make, just in case any of this was actually for real.

The feline blinked, was this the Five he knew? No remars, no insults, no constant nagging at his head about how superior a Succes was. The man almost felt normal to Three during that small moment. but he shrugged it off, he needed to get to the wall. Wether this was true or not, the fresh outside air would do him good. The only question now was, if the guards would find out what then?
 
Trying not to think too much on the matter, Three walked through the hallways greeting the guards when they noticed him. He just went through the daily habits that he did, nothing special. Nothing unique and it worked. Why would any human concern themselves with the boring activities that a Subject did anyways? And with this the cat walked slowly to the garden area, intent on being first near the wall. And who knew, he might just relax a bit before the show might start. If nothing happened so be it... But if it did a new future would await.

Four passed Thirteen in the hallway, hearing her request to head outside. He instantly knew what was going on - and although he didn't exactly like it, there was nothing he could do about it. He rolled his eye, deciding to follow the cat outside. The guards watched him carefully after the previous incident, but didn't make any moves, easily falling for the ruse. Even though Four was quite evidently nonplussed, it was reasonable enough that he and Thirteen would get along less than perfectly after all that had happened.

The goat followed her outside, walking out into the courtyard shortly after she did. He took his place by her side at the wall, grumbling quietly under his breath. "This still isn't going to work..." he muttered in a soft voice, not really directed at anyone.

[AJ Fawxe]

Alex walked into the hallway and left his small bundle of belongings sitting in the doorway, careful to not let it bee too visible that he couldn't just kick it back in if a guard came around. Looking either way Alex played with his tele-optics and looked as far down each hallway as he could. Overly satisfied that the coast was clear, he walked down the hall a few steps and then looked around. Continuing out he scouted farther and farther until he was satisfied that the halls were practically deserted. Walking casually back to the room he grabbed the small bundle and stuffed it in his coat. Walking into the cafeteria he smelled something particularly delicious and eyed the Success part of the kitchen.


"Oh you're coming with me.. but first," Alex walked out the doors and sat down at the table and looked around before stuffing the bundle under the table that he'd played poker for the first time at then staring back at the cafeteria. Suddenly his ears perked and he looked over seeing Thirteen standing outside. Alex couldn't help but to smile. "Someone figured you out besides me, eh?"

[Lavender_Stripes]

She nodded, sighing. "Everyone wanted me outside. Can't see why, but I aim to please." She shrugged, rubbing her head. She shivered to herself, sniffling. The cold grew worse as time went on. She rubbed at her arms, trying to keep warm.

[shkkf]

Three walked out into the cold as his breath became visible to him when the door opened.
He acted normal and suprised when he saw Four and Thirteen in the distance, the feline grimaced and walked over to them seeing that Thirteen was shivering a little bit from the temperature.

"Hey you two! Also enjoying the nice weather I take it?" He said as if nothing was going on, before embracing Thirteen with his arms trying to warm her up a bit as he whispered softly. "I am glad you came here." Before he gave her a quick kiss on the cheek.

His vision then turned towards Four, "Hey dude, how have the tests been going today?" The cat asked in a serious tone, but his eyes were keeping a close watch on the building. When would it happen?!... In a few hours maybe? Minutes? Seconds? Three somewhat cursed the fact Two had not given a time or anything. But still he was glad to know two people were already out.

Heck the poweroutage could even have an explosion and who knows what else! This was dangerous, but a risk that was worth it.

[Lavender_Stripes]

Thirteen felt herself blush, warming with Three's body heat. She took two pills from her sash, feeling her thoughts clear in a short while. She needed to focus. She couldn't be occupied with others at the moment. Her tail hung limply behind her as she waited for the inevitable. She simply waited.

[Fitzwilliam Jinglesworth]

Four hugged his arms closer against his body. He, at least, had the advantage of wearing more layers, although he didn't bring anything with him out of sheer skepticism. He rolled his eye again as he stood off to the sidelines, not even responding to Three. "Look," he said, "we're just gonna die anyway..."

[Lavender_Stripes]

"Don't say that! I'll get you o-over..." Thirteen sniffled from the cold, trembling. "We're gonna live. P-Promise..." The girl managed a smile at Four, rubbing at her arms. Her fur was starting to fluff more; to provide more warmth. It wouldn't be long before it was more manageable.

[AJ Fawxe]

Alex sucked in a breath and looked over hearing Fours comment. Honestly the fynx had been worrying about it ever since his dream. Alex had pushed it away after he resolved to escape over gathering data. It turned out to be a good decision as Four was in no condition to be helping him if that was his mindset. Seeing Thirteen shiver he reached into his bundle and got out one of his knee length jackets and walked over to her and handed it out to her. It might come down much farther on her but at least it would help.

 “Fair enough.”  Two responded standing aside to give One plenty of room to work before glancing at a nearby display’s time readout.  “We have just over a minute before the outage is supposed to occur.  Best get in position and I’ll let you know when to start giving it power.”  He watched as the seconds ticked on, waiting for just before the time he saw in his vision.
 
“Now!”
 
The vulpine looked over his shoulder to watch One beginning to pour power into the generators as arcs of lightning danced around her.  The strain in her expression was obvious and he wondered how much longer she could hold it.  Turning his gaze back to the clock, there was only a few more seconds to go; she just had to power them for just a few seconds after the time from his vision.  “Just five more seconds, you’re almost there!”
 
“Four…”
 
“Three…”
 
Once again he looked over his shoulder towards One whose struggle had intensified, but something about her expression told him that it wasn’t solely from the use of her ability.  “Two-”
 
Just as he got the last sound of that number out of his lips, One cried out as a bolt of electricity got away from her and struck a nearby junction box.  The result was a cacophony of snaps and pops amongst a shower of sparks that leapt from the electrical panel just before the entire facility was cast into darkness.  Two froze, realizing at that moment of darkness that he hadn’t prevented his vision from coming to fruition, rather than he had been the one to facilitate it.  A few heartbeats after the power died out, low clicks resounded through the facility as the dull emergency lighting kicked in and electronic locks sprung open.
 
In the pale light, Two was able to make out One who lay prone from where she stood, her body twitching and spasming in what could only have been a seizure.  He ran over to her and gently rolled her on her side while keeping his hand under her head so it wouldn’t hit against the concrete floor.  The seizure passed in a few short moments and not long after that One woke up in a daze.  “One… I don’t mean to rush you in this condition, but we need to get out of here.  Are you able to walk on your own or do you need me to help?”

[Suzumibachii]

Gasping softly as the seizure passed, enough for her to be helped up kneeling on one leg and being help up by Two she bit her lips, still a little dazed she nodded. "Y...Yeah *censor* I screwed up." Balling her hand into a fist and slamming it into the nearby metal of the generator with enough force so tear part of her skin between the scales open. Getting up and looking around in the dull lighting as her senses slowly sharpened her daze wearing off quite rapidly as she looked at Two. "I messed up, I lost focus..." Her eyes spoke of how angry she was at herself in that moment how she hated her failure.
"Get out... we need to get out." she parroted Two's statement and grabbed her bag, not even caring for her mask as she looked at him. "You know the routes. I can take care of any resistance we encounter it wont be enough to kill them in my state but it will slow them down." Still breathing rather heavily as small spams still made her arms and legs and other muscles tense and jerk painfully, it would make her movement slower than it could have been but she would be able to move on her own.

"Thirteen.... where is she?" One suddenly demanded to know, her mind flooding with what would happen if Thirteen didnt make it out, or if that thing in Two's vision made it outside before they did. "We need to get there now!" she hissed out.

[AJ Fawxe]

The fynx smiled seeing the two warm up and then when he saw the power go out and the lighting shift he bolted inside and dove over the counter to the kitchen with the pillow cover in paw. Quickly using his excellent sense of smell to pick out the pot that the smell of beef was coming from he picked it up and found that it had some sort of latches that held it shut. Messing with them for a minute she got it closed and stuffed it in the case and grabbed some spoons and ran out.


"Time to book it! Let's go!" Alex caught at the bundle of clothes and looked towards the fence then the small group outside.
