Waking up on a cold floor, Nick's vision was blurry. Looking around he was inside a large white room, blinding lights shun down further affecting his ability to see. Trying to stand up Nick realised he was muzzled, there was some kind of heavy metal collar attached to his neck and chained to the floor, his wrists and legs chained as well. Trying to get a grasp of what had happened, the memories came flooding back.. being shot numerous times, fighting a bunch of officers, Diane..

His Ears prickled down and his tail curled between his legs. "Do you know why your being detained?" Asked a voice over the speakers. Nick kept his head down.
"You assaulted six humans and two recom officers, verbally insulting officers, what I heard you almost killed a man."
Nick scoffed while flicking his tucked tail.

The sound of  doors opened, in walked a woman dressed in camo clothes, badges along her shirt, this was a high ranking officer. "I think your going to be very useful for me"
Scrunching his nose, Nick looked away, keeping his head down and eyes on the ground, not looking anywhere near the woman, nor speaking.

"I'm general Ardmore, I'm who controls the RDA on Pandora"

She looked at the chains tightly equipped to the animals every limb. " The chains are just a precaution, they'll come off before you join the recoms. We have things to discuss first"

Waving her hand at the glass wall a scientist with a file came into the room, handing the woman the file, the scientist walked back out the door. "Says here your ID is Nickolas Dásos, you were 19 when they put you in cryo, you've grown at least three feet since then according to the mugshot. All family deceased, former home earth. Current age twenty two, nine foot three."

Closing the file she takes a breath in. "I won't bore you with what you already know, so here's the new information." Leaning down to the Wolf on the floor. "You attack anyone you'll be sent to a detaining room right away, no food no light nothing. If you kill anyone thats a different story, I'll decide if we put you down for good. You'll be accommodated with Colonel Quaritch on Pandora, not to leave his side, in his care it's decided what he does with you during those times unless your handed back to me, you won't want that trust me. Colonel will fill you on the rest, don't make me need to talk to you again"

The general stood up and walked out of the room. After a couple minutes of sitting in silence by himself, the doors open yet again. Colonel Quaritch ducks himself under the small human sized door, standing himself up straight and taking a breath from his mask, he looked down at the animal. A human officer accompanied him with a set of keys. "Take that shit off" he ordered to the human, cautiously walking over and unlocking each chain around the wolf including the muzzle , once the chains fell off Nick rubbed his wrists.

Looking up at the colonel, the human officer walked out the doors and to his duties, Colonel watched him leave and looked back at the wolf still sitting with his head down.

"Plan on sitting there the whole day?" Said colonel. Glancing up at Quaritch then back to the floor, silently he stood up and walked over. Normally he would talk back and say something rude or try to be funny, but he just stood in silence with his ears and head down. Ignoring the strange behaviour, Colonel ducked back under the door and walked out, Nick followed.

As there both walking to an unknown location, Nick accidentally let out a muffled cough, he was struggling to breathe. Colonels ears twitched and he looked behind himself at Nick, realising he didn't have a mask. It only made sense they'll have extra masks at the location there going but they weren't there yet, only logical thing to do, quaritch stopped walking and turned fully to Nick who also stopped in his tracks.

Quaritch grabbed his mask, breathing a sigh out of his nose he stepped toward him. Nick looked up and understood what quaritch was going to do but he turned his head and looked away. Quaritch hesitated, but he grabbed Nick's chin and faced him towards himself, with his other hand still on the mask he held it on Nick's mouth, letting go of his chin before pressing the mask down. Rolling his eyes Nick took a couple much needed deep breaths from the mask. He could feel himself starting to blush as he looked in the colonels frustrated eyes, his fur covered the evidence of this but there was other ways his body expressed himself. The wolf's tail untucked and began to slowly wag, as quaritch looked at his tail, Nick pushed the colonels hand along with the mask away, looking to the other side.
