Marcus escorts everyone to Mecha Station in an empty equipment garage and four guards bring two large tables and chairs for everyone to sit. Once everyone is comfortable he asks Raven and Clarke to explain what happened to them after they were taken by the Mountain Pack. Both sisters retell their stories, naturally leaving out the part about the Purebloods. They get a courtesy nod from the Alpha and Lexa. O, Bell and his mates notice.

Bellamy is on the other side of the table but he keeps his eyes on his little sister. He also worries about the possibility of getting his family out and wonders what has happened to them. His mates notice his worrying face and so Anya takes his hand and with the pad of her thumb begins to caress his skin and he smiles. He hears as Fay begins to hum and he finds it soothing, so he leans his head back while she plays with his hair. It's a small gesture but a comforting, soothing feeling passes through him and he hears as Talon begins to rumble happily. He snoozes a little.

After explaining, Raven takes a piece of paper and starts drawing the different levels she remembers from their escape as well as where she was when Clarke found her. "It's awful there. The room is big and there are cages almost all the way up. In every cage, a person is placed. We were treated like animals, especially by Dr. 'Scarface' Tsing," she tells them and explains who the doctor is. "She's the chief medical doctor and from what I could deduce, she was the one in charge of experimenting on people." Afterwards, she produces the night vision cameras and video recorders and shows everyone. "I don't know what they're planning but from what I can tell, they are all pictures of Purebred alphas."

"What experiments?" Rose asks and Raven replies, "I don't really know. Harper managed to tell me that we were placed upside down and drained of blood but Clarke is the best person to explain. She was on a different level along with the rest and she met the leader. She also was allowed into different levels so she knows more." Clarke then takes the lead and elucidates on who the leader is and what she observed while with the other delinquents.

Octavia and Lexa sit beside the Alpha and Clarke gets to work. She takes a paper and draws a sketch of the map she had studied meticulously. While Clarke is sketching the map, Rose's brain is working overtime. She is curious as to why the Mountain was taking pictures of only Purebred alphas. What was so special that they wanted with them? By the time Clarke was done, it was almost the exact same replica of the original map she had. She then informed them that although the map only shows six levels there are seven. "I never got to see it but I heard Cage and Emerson talking about it," she adds, lying of course.

"Any idea why it was never shown on the map?" Callie asks and Clarke shakes her head from side to side. "No, but I'm assuming that it must be a secret place for it not to be shown on the map. Maybe they're hiding something."

"Jaha had mentioned that Mount Weather was a military bunker with a missile silo and research facility. Maybe the reason it wasn't on the map was because it was where they keep their missiles," Marcus suggests and they nod.

"No, level seven is where they do the experiments," Rose states firmly and Rae and Clarke exchange a look. The Alpha gives both sisters a knowing look but they say nothing.

"Why would you say that?" Clarke asks, creasing her brows together.

"Firstly, level seven will never appear on the map because more than likely that is the lowest level and their most secretive level. Secondly, it's those pictures of the Purebred alphas. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm fairly certain that no other alpha in the Trikru Pack can change their features and since they live in the bunker, it's more than obvious that they cannot change their features as well which leads me to conclude that they want the Purebred alphas so that they can experiment on them and find out on a genetic level how it is possible for them to change their features. Purebred alpha's are stronger, more dominant thus more powerful," Rose answers.
