Raven glanced around the main control room, 'Raven's Nest', his eyes searched for Tank, whom was not to be seen. In fact, all the ATR scientists had unfamiliar faces. It was awfully quiet, and the arriving officers felt sore in their stomaches from the echoing melancholy of the room. Everyone began whispering, as if they didn't want a feasting silverfish hanging from the lights to overhear the conversation. "These new guys are wierd.." muttered James. While the two parties were still split standing in two groups on their sides of the room, the scientists's eyes became blood red, darker, and fixated with a stressing and sinning glare on the officers. Gohan shrugged and backed away slowly. 'These new recruits must be dead serious or something..' he thought to himself. "Well.. um, I guess I need to go to the bathroom.." Gohan left the room in slow, confident strides, with his head down to hide the fear. When he was a few yards beyond the Raven's Nest, he made a mad dash towards the bathroom as his stomache squirmed. Making sure all locks were up, he stood before the sink and washed his face out. The damping solid water slided through the crevices of his face and he placed his hand on the mirror to wipe off the dust. "Aa...!" he gasped silently as he clutched his hand towards his chest and looked down in pain. A stretching, slender slit in his palm was oozing with blood and he grabbed relentlessly for the roll of paper towels, running them through water quickly. Gohan glared and squinted at the glass until he realized it was shattered, and jagged pieces seemingly go unnoticed like the thorns of a rose. Gohan walked towards the trashcan and stopped in his tracks. In its place lay a drying and scattered puddle of dark red. "So, guys," Dai spoke and pointed to some recruits when Gohan rushed out. "Why are you dressed in scientist uniforms. Shouldn't you be in the labs rather than the control rooms?" "Yes..." one of them answered slowly as if english was his second language. His eyes searched his brain to find the right words. "We would, but we need the leader in the Sciences Unit with us.. yeah..." Everybody looked at Derrick. He got nervous because he didn't like large groups of people staring at him. "When was this? I'm a Sciences Leader?" "Yeah, it was decided a while back," Saber replied. "When? I don't remember.." "When you weren't here." "Okay then...." "Anyway," the scientist interrupted. "Please follow us... Derrick." He said nothing and walked on with two other scientists trailing behind. Derrick sighed and had no choice but to follow. Derek followed too. "No, stay here Derek," Raven commanded. "Fine," both replied and came back. "No, you," Raven pointed to Derrick. "You will be Derrick One, now go." He turned to Derek. "you will be Derek Two." "Why am I number two?" "Because I said so." "Ok.." The circling, pale room Derrick walked into had that smell like it hadn't been used in ages. There was a sink filled with muddy water, a few viles, a few more glass containers, and many many many locked up metal shelves and freezers. Derrick turned slowly back towards the scientists. "So why are we .... here." He found a gun pressed on his forehead. The man was about ready to shoot when the other scientist held him back. "Not yet, He'll hear.""Then what do we do?""I have an idea." The other scientists took out what appeared to be just a plain old metal bar and held it in his hands. Then he thrust it across Derrick's face. Then there was a black hole in the light Derrick could see..... "So which one of you is the leader of this place?" A scientist asked the remaining group of Raven, Fox, Dai, James, Saber, and Derek. "You guys keep no pictures around here!" "Well....." Raven pointed out, "I was considering the guy who just left, but," Raven pointed to James. "This guy would be more like the best leader." "I understand then..." The man smiled wryly.
