They step into the blue lighted room, stopping at a window when they see little baby Grievers in fucking test tubes, and Thalia gags. They enter another set of doors, the blue lighting still covering the room. Thalia is ready to leave at the sight of bodies being hung by test tubes as well, "What kind of sick fuck.." she mutters.

She stops at a girl, "Teresa?" but its not her so she lets out a sigh of relief. "That's Rachel." Aris says and guilt consumes Thalia. "They took her the first night. I told her it was gonna be okay." the moment is ruined once they hear footsteps and a door opening, so Thalia runs to hide behind a pillar as.. guess who! Fucking Ratman walks in.

"We sure this can't wait?" Jansen asks the assistant next to him as they walk through the room. "She was very specific sir, she wanted to speak with you personally." The assistant speaks. "As if I don't have enough to deal with." Jansen mutters, "Just uhm bare with me." the assistant says as he fiddles with his Ipad.

"Getting some interference from the Storm." The assistant says. "Come on, its good enough make the connection." Jansen orders. Dr. Ava Paige appears on the screen.

Hey isn't she dead? Thalia asks Thomas in her mind.

I thought so too. You feeling better?

Could be worse.

"Good evening Dr. Paige, how good it is to see you again." Jansen says, what a change of posture and formality now that he's actually speaking to her. Thalia cant help but wonder if Jansen is actually scared of her.

"Although I admit I, I wasn't expecting to hear from you so soon." Jansen says, his hands crossed behind his back in a delicate matter. "Change of plans, Jansen, I'll be arriving a little sooner than expected. First thing tomorrow." the woman responds.

"Whats this I hear of you instigating the girl? The doctor asks. Jansens mouth twitches, "What do you mean?" Ava sighs, "In the interrogation room, you asked about Mark. You cannot let that information slip."

"Yes, I.. I apologise." Jansen clears his throat. "It was such a terrible.. loss, Dr. Paige." Ava raises her eyebrow at him. "Well, we'll be.. delighted to have you. I think you'll be pleased with the progress we've made." Jansen gestures to the assistant, who pulls up an image of.. is that a brain? "As you can see early results have been extremely promising." he pauses. "Whatever it is you've been doing to them in there, it's working."

"Not well enough." The doctor replies, "I just received board approval. I want all the remaining subjects sedated and prepped for harvest by the time I arrive."

"Dr. Paige, we are going as fast as we can. We are still running tests-" Jansen is interrupted by Ava speaking again. "Try something faster. Until I can guarantee their security, this is the best plan."

"Ma'am security is my job we are on twenty four hour lockdown here, I am assuring you, the assets are secure." Jansen speaks. "Have you found the Right Arm?" That catches Thalia's attention. The Right Arm.. where has she heard that name? She scratches her brain to figure it out, looking deep into her memories but the only thing that comes back is the memory with Mark and the woman Anna.

She feels security in the name, safety, but she doesn't know why or even how considering she doesn't know what it even is.

"Not yet." Jansen answers, "We tracked them as far as the mountains." He says hesitantly. "So they're still out there?" Ava asks. "And they've already hit two of our instillations." Thalia looks at Thomas, who is also looking at Aris.

"They want these kids as badly as we do, and I cannot.. I cannot afford another loss." Ava says raising her voice but returning to her original tone. "Not now, when I am so close to a cure. If you are not up to the task I will find someone who is."

"That wont be necessary." Jansen responds, "Might I suggest we start with the most recent arrivals?" he asks.

"Just get it done." Ava says coldly, Jansen turns but Ava calls him again. "Jansen, I don't want them to feel any pain."

"They wont feel a thing." Jansen replies, the video turning off as he walks out of the room.
