All test subjects please proceed to your designated test chambers!

Dream Tech Officer: alright! I want everyone to move to their designated spots! All Fire ranked test subjects follow the red lights along with the Pyro ranked! All Ice test subjects follow the blue lights! And the Special test subjects follow the white lights! If I catch any of you in the wrong area, I will be forced to maim you and have your memories erased! Dismissed!

Evan: come on Eric hurry up!
Eric: fine...
Evan: why do you think they chose Pyro for us?
Eric: well lots of people get chosen for Fire but not often Pyro, you should just be glad we got into Pyro rank so let's just not question the system... Let's just enjoy this while we can...

Scientist: All test subjects please proceed to your designated pods... Once there, press the red button next to your pod to access the pod, there you will enter and be placed in a hibernation-like state... Do not attempt to forcefully open the pod for once the pod is closed, it will be neurally tethered to you... Brain damage, amnesia or even death can occur if the warning is not heeded...

Evan: well. I guess I'll see you later?
Eric: yup...

Activating supernova sequence, test subjects heart rate stable... Increasing intensity now... Increase in brain wave activity detected.. Hold on, Test Subject 21 destabilising, sensors show extreme heart rate increase, may go into cardiac arrest, death is imminent.

Scientist: switch his pod off. Now!
Tesla: what's going on?! Why did you stop his pod?!
Scientist: he was about to die sir.
Tesla: each super element infused in those pods are worth millions... Don't stop the machine until I say so!
Scientist: at least let me see if he's okay sir...
Tesla: fine... But hurry up...

Scientist: *opens a pod* Eric, are you okay?
Eric: I-I think so...
Scientist: did you press anything in there?
Eric: no...
Scientist: wait a minute... The neural link... Eric what were you thinking about?*sigh*, her again huh?
Eric: I hurt her feelings man... And now because of me... She's gone...
Scientist: she went away on her own, none of that is your fault okay? It was her choice... And her choice was to leave. Now, get back in that pod before Tesla kills us

Tesla: you about done over there?
Scientist: yeah! Ok get in the pod...
Eric: hey, thanks Isaac...
Isaac: no problem...

Restarting supernova sequence...
