Chapter 14: Another day, another bullet

The man was tied to an old oak chair. whilst he was unconscious his mask and affects were resting on the kitchen counter. Nine was reattaching his arm with a few bearings and a metal welder.

Six was on watch of our special guest after he was stitched up from the knife wound only inflicted a few hour ago. The house was still a mess and Four was sulking that he had to clean it all.

Things could have gone a lot worse though, so we got lucky this time round. "Why do you think he came alone?" He didn't even bring a S.O.S beacon, did he really underestimate us that much?

At about 09:30 our guest woke up with a calm aura about him he didn't scream or struggle. He just sat there in silence. Four was sat in the corner staring at the intruder who had woken him from his slumber.

Once Nine was patched up with both arms intact, he sat in front of our guest "Spectre Shadow enlisted born 2104 in the star continent of Astranoca. What are you doing with Techtra?" No response came from Shadow.

After an hour of no responses he decided to ask his own "what are you all. I ripped Nine's arm off. I severed Six's Brachial artery. Finally you. Kyle Davids, shot lightning at me from your gloves." We were surprised he knew our names but didn't know what we were.

"Techtra really don't trust anyone enough to tell you we aren't human anymore because of them. Still enough of rich corporate assholes running deals in the dark with the military. My how the mighty have fallen." Six began to clean his gun as he started monologging about Techtra.

"Is he always like this?" Shadow asked "Only when he's been stabbed. Enjoy." Four replied with his childish smile. "He'll stop right about… 3,2" when Nine reached 0 Six stopped his rambling and sat down.

"You're a strange bunch. How old are all of you?" Shadow became curious "I'm 36, That child over there is 9, Six is 40 and the dashing fellow over there is 28… Well, if you don't include time in this reality." As Nine explained Shadow's face frown in disbelief.

"What the-" darkness filled my eye's as I pulled out the electrical dart in my neck. It was some kind of miniaturised EMP.

[I was force back into my Neural space but I could see tunnels, labelled signs were above each tunnel. Each sign said one of all the subjects name's: 1,2,3,4 all the way up to 20. Some tunnels were collapsed such as: 2,3,5,8,10,11,13,14,15,17 and 18.

I was confused for a few minutes before walking down the tunnel with a six above it. However something caught my eye, the first tunnel with a sign saying 'One' was sealed by a wall, not collapsed sealed. I still headed down the tunnel with the number six above it but couldn't shake the uneasy feeling from that sealed tunnel. What was in there.]
