Everything seemed pointless up until that silver prong came out of nowhere. The taser did its work and Merrimack fell silent. Locked in his mind, he raced over everything. He would figure out a way to escape. Each second that passed let him wander deeper into his mind. It was truly amazing, he started to realize. Never before had he been able to pick and pull memories and data this quickly. Was it the electrical current? Or was it something else?
A vision popped into his mind. He saw himself strapped to a table. Nisha was standing over him. Something was forced into his arm. A woman behind her (he recognized her as Xavi) collected the needle and tossed it aside. Words were uttered and the masked woman laughed.
Before he knew it, he was coming to. "Ael?" his foggy vision soon cleared as he looked to his brother, who was kindly holding him upright.
Falling silent when he realized Nisha, no Dr. Lum spoke, Merrimack had to fight the urge to try to kill her. He knew better though, something about Xavi's eyes frightened him. They were so strange looking right then and there, large and all-seeing. With a shudder, he followed in silence as the pack moved into the castle.
Once they were finally free, Reiko seemed to be the first to really check on him.
"Yeah, I'm okay. I'm used to this kind of stuff," he tried to smile but it still hurt to move. It was true, he often played with electronics and found himself getting zapped. Ael, thankfully still there, caught the shorter male and walked along with Reiko to find rooms.
"Wanna share, brother?" He asked the raven.
There was a light head nod, as they stepped past Reiko's room and found an empty room with two beds.
Ael undressed his brother and helped him get into the suit. The blonde worked on himself and they eventually left to go look for someone else to chat with.
"Want to check on that girl?"
"Sure," Merrimack tried to smile again. It was really useless.
Ael, seemingly idiotic for a moment, got up and sought out Reiko. He just so happened to forget Merrimack. It wasn't a terrible thing though, for the male just kicked back on the bed and groaned. "Why did I have to be tased."
A knock came to Reiko's door and, gingerly opened it. "Hey," Ael poked his head in to see Reiko. "How are you holding up?"
Meanwhile, Merrimack decided the lazy lounging wasn't his style so he forced himself up and out. Best to walk it out, right? Using the wall as a prop, he moved down the hall until he came across a door that wasn't closed completely. In a not-so-graceful fall, he toppled into someone's room. Face kissing the floor, he moaned.
"Home invasion?" he tried to joke. Pushing himself up, Merrimack found himself starting up at Odessa. "Well," he finally found a smile, "at least you're not naked. Suppose this could be worse."
