Unknown Experiments

Chatper 21

As promised, August 2nd, a new chapter. If anyone didn't see the update on the previous chapter, I would recommend checking it as I added something I had originally planned to add, but didn't have the time to include initially. There is also a lot of important information in the notes at the end, and I would highly suggest reading through them carefully

Also, I didn't bother to edit anything because it is so late, so everything you read is straight from the document. Again. So there may be some spelling errors here and there. You've been warned

Lucia physically groaned as she woke up. Her head felt like it was being split in half, though that wasn't where her attention lay. She could feel something wrapped around her eyes, blocking her vision, and something else binding her wrists and ankles together. As soon as she started to come to her senses, she lifted her head and asked, "What's happening...?"

There was complete silence all around her. Now that she was paying closer attention to the details around her, she could hear a gentle hum of something further ahead, a gentle shaking of the entire space around her, and every once in a while, a quick rush of a similar hum to the one she constantly heard.

Lucia started to sit up, but the space around her dipped and rocked around for a bit, tossing her back to the floor. She grunted from the impact, and as she tried to get back up, heard quiet chuckling around her. She lifted her head up and said, "I know there's someone there."

There was a small sigh from nearby, though she couldn't pinpoint where. She then heard gentle, metallic footsteps approaching, until they stopped seemingly in front of her. She was about to ask something else, but she felt something slip into her neck above her collar. Then, as it was pulled out, she heard a very familiar voice say, "I'm sorry about this. Just following orders."

Lucia tried to lift her head again, but it felt like such a weak and pathetic attempt that she didn't even put much effort into it. She let her head drop with a groan as her mind grew fuzzy, though managed to form one last thought before passing out. "Admiral Lilith. I should have known."

Lucia's head flew into the wall behind her, forcing her awake. She hissed and grunted from the hit and muttered, "Ow."

"Oh so she can feel pain. I wasn't completely sure," a male voice with an accent said from nearby. To Lucia, everything was still completely black. And now that she was awake again, she could feel the space around her shaking slightly, bumping up and down with seemingly no control. She recalled the last time she woke up and did a quick count, understanding there were at least two others nearby. She didn't actually know how many, but based on voices, she was certain.

"How bumpy can this thing be ?" Lucia asked after a bit, tilting her head in the direction where the second voice had come from. She lifted her head up and began to feel around, but didn't dare move the restraints no matter how annoying she felt they were. Behind her was a large metal wall of some sort, but the spot she was sitting on felt much softer. It wasn't as smooth or solid as what she was used to. "And what am I even in?"

The area around her shook violently again, and with no control over where she was going, she felt her upper body swing forward, careen to the side, swing back up, before slamming back into the wall. She shook her head and huffed, before she heard Lilith say, "What you are in is none of your concern, and I can assure you that there is no danger. I've also been deep in thought, and I think we may break orders and let you stay awake for the time being. That is, if you're cooperative."

"Well what's the point in trying to do anything when I can't even see?" Lucia asked right before everything shook once again, and she nearly fell over. She pulled herself back up and, quite angrily, asked, "Can you stop doing that?"
