LUCY* p.o.v.

Testing room? Extraction? What on Earth-land was this maniac talking about? I got on my hands and knees and started crawling along the floor, looking for a wall, or light switch, or something! Suddenly my head bashed loudly against something jagged and made of metal.

"Ouch!" I whisper-yelled as I felt around the strange thing for an idea of what it was. It sorta felt like a weird chair. I continued feeling around the walls for more clues as to what the room looked like. It was a round room, with no door. Well, technically the door could be on the ceiling or something. Either way, I couldn't see it. The walls were smooth and cool, like glass.

30 minutes later

--------------------

After basically violating and feeling up this room for half an hour, I finally had a sense of what it looked like. Small round room, a tall ceiling (or at least taller than I could jump), with glass walls, and a strange metal chair in the centre. Pretty simple, but what was I expecting? A room full of torture devices? Actually, yeah, I probably was.

Just then, the ceiling flickered and the lights turned on, exposing that the room looked exactly as I had anticipated. Well that was just a complete waste of my time. I groaned. The whole ceiling was lit up, so there were no individual lights, but there were speakers and a door on it, which explained where the voice came from, and how I had gotten in. The glass walls weren't see through, but a milky off-white colour. No decorations or windows to be seen in this bland room. Except for that strange chair, witch I was getting considerably more freaked out by. What was it? Maybe it was some creepy torture device.

"Hello?" I reluctantly called out.

"Hello." Answered the strange voice from before.

"Are you going to tell me where I am?" I asked impatiently.

"I'm sorry, but my answers are limited. Another MMSU representative will come by shortly." It replied. MMSU? What's that? I wondered.

Ugh, I'm too curious. All this waiting is going to kill me! I'm not an idiot. I have to try to figure this out. Ok, before it said I was in testing room #3321. Does that mean I was a test subject? Does that mean there was a reason I was kept in solitude for 7 years? Does that mean there are 3320 others? There were too many possibilities. If I have to wait here, for another frickin second, I'm going to die.

As if on cue, a voice came through the speakers. "Subject #3321, can you hear me?" Asked a different voice. This one was female. Human.

I didn't respond. No way was I being called 'subject #3321.' My name was Lucy. Lucy Heartifilia.

"Lucy." The female voice said.

"Yes." I responded.

"You will now be referred to as 'subject #3321' or '#3321' or '3321.' Do you understand?" The voice asked, cruelly. It sounded as though she would like to strangle me. Why?

But I would not allow that. They could take many things. My freedom. My friends. My celestial keys. But they could never, take my name.

"3221." Said the voice, referring to me. "My name is Dr.Johnson, and I will be your test supervisor."
