Sita opened her eyes, and she was in a room of white. Please don't tell me I'm still in that room...
But she wasn't. where am I? Sita thought. This doesn't exactly look like the room I was in. It was a white room like the other one, but there was some differences. I feel something soft. She sat up and looked around, Sita noticed it was quite bright in the room so she was squinting. As she got used to the brightness she realized there was a big black screen on the wall in front of her. What the heck is that... She swung her legs over the side of the bed. Wait, I'm on a bed! I'm not floating. She looked down, and realized that she wasn't in the same clothes as before. Her jeans and T-shirt were replaced with a sleek grey robe. If I look at myself in a mirror, I would probably look like a monk.
Sita looked at the dark window in front of her. That looks suspicious. She plopped down off of the bed and walked over to the screen. Hey, This looks like something from one of those crime shows! She stood in front of it, and knocked on it's surface. It kind of feels like it's made of glass. Sita inspected the window.
She heard a loud bang, Sita swiveled her head in the direction of the sound and she saw that half of the room's wall was gone, and behind it was a tunnel leading somewhere. That looks unusual... Sita walked over to the tunnel and looked around to see if anyone was watching. "I'm gonna go in there you know..." She heard faint voices, it sounded like they were shouting. Sita walked cautiously over to the tunnel and stepped inside of it. Wow, I thought at least there would be a trap if anything. She walked down the metal corridor, her bare feet trodding noiselessly against the cold floor. Sita heard a click from under her and she looked down, but all Sita saw was endless black and she fell down below.

"Shoot! She triggered the trap!" Joey said bringing his hands up to his face. "Now I can't ask how she was feeling! I'm losing every chance I get." Is that so bad?
"You are starting to freak me out with how interested you are in her." Naoir said with a look of suspicion. He's starting to drive me nuts.
"Will Miss Sita be alright?" Grason asked Conai, concerned. "We don't have the listening device's signal anymore." He sat down on one of the four chairs in the room.
"True, there are no sound waves coming back so we can't pinpoint her location, but..." He turned Naoir's way. "Naoir can sense her mind, and track her consciousness from here. Can he not?" Conai looked at him, expecting a snide comment but instead, he shrugged.
"Yes I can but it will strain both my brain and hers." Naoir said crossing his arms. "So if I do connect my conscience with hers, then she would be harboring my conscience along with her own. And even though her conscious wouldn't know. Her subconscious would, and it would probably have a hard time determining which consciousness is it's own. So to put bluntly, it's dangerous."
"I see, so you are concerned about what it will do to both of you...?" Conai as he started to pace slowly around the room. "Well, if your that concerned about it then Joey could just go and retrieve her." He glanced over at Joey, who was nodding off. "On second thought maybe that would not be such a good idea after all."
"Joey," Grason nudged his shoulder. "Joey, wake up!" He whispered.
"Huh...?" Joey blinked a few times before realizing he accidentally fell asleep. "Oh, sorry I dozed off." Joey said as he let out a big yawn.
"What is with you today?" Naoir asked, dropping his arms to the side.
"Sorry, when you talk about stuff like brains and mind reading it's really boring." Joey said as he stood up.
"Why you-" Naoir started but he couldn't finish because Conai stopped the incoming arguement.
"Joey, did you hear our conversation?" He asked as he looked at Joey, expecting an excuse.
"I heard bit's and pieces." He started. "Such as straining the brains and the subconsciousness not knowing who it was or something like that."
"The subconsciousness wouldn't know which conciousness was it's own! that's what I said."
"Enough with conscience and no conciousness, it doesn't matter." Conai said with a stern tone. "What we need to focus on is how to get Sita out of her situation."
"Conai is right!" Joey said, throwing a fist in the air. "We should all go look for her instead of risking her brain!"
"That's not exactly what I had meant by that." Conai was ignored. "But I guess you could go and search for her, just to make sure she is alright."
Joey smiled. "Yes! For once I'm right!" He patted Grason on the back. "If you would?"
"R-Right." Grason held out his hand and a human-size black hole appeared.
"Onward and upward my friends!" Joey said as he jumped inside.
"That idiot." Naoir mumbled to himself as he followed after.
"They get along really well don't they, Grason?" Conai stared into the multicolored hole in the air.
"Yes, they do." He smiled, and jumped in as well.
