"Well shit, now we've got to get those two back into their little worlds." Joul states, pointing to Austin and Evelyn. The pair are talking at normal volumes now, but the context is pure focused malice. Get a room you t- wait a minute. "Hey, asshats, time to go back to containment!" Says Joul, loud and proud to Austin and Evelyn. Both snap out of their trance-like glaring at each other. "What?" Says Austin, seeming slightly dazed. "W-what?! No! Not before I get this bastard!" Shouts Evelyn, referring to Austin. "Wow. Both of you need to calm you hate boners." Responds Joul, straight-faced. Dr. Kamu just sighs at that whole phrasing. "Look, Evelyn, can you just go back to your room please? It's still early enough for you to get on the net. You've got about 5.5 or 6 hours until switch-off at 11." That seems to actually sink in a bit and she sort of calms it, but still glares at Austin. "Is she trying to use her anomaly on him? Evelyn no." "Evelyn yes! This guy keeps being such an asshole and I want him to stop!" Joul and Kamu just have to look at each other for a second. "You seeing/hearing this?" Once they both confirm they're experiencing Evelyn being like this, she then shuts up and stops. Mutters something under her breath along the lines of 'I'll get you two too' Before then scuttling off. Then Austin almost comes back to life. "Hngha? Where is she? Where's that bitch?" Dr. Kamu goes "Whoa. Don't speak like that." Which is a bizarre statement/order. "Austin. Are you ok? You seem like you've just come down from a high." He looks her dead in the eye, bloodshot and teary. "That cunt was trying to put me under again! She was trying to MAKE me her boyfriend again!" Dr. Joul is almost stunned, even with knowing Evelyn's records. "Bruh. That's fucked up."

Dr. Kamu, is having none of it. "Look, all three of us here know what she's like, but I doubt it." Austin loses any sense of calm at that sentence. "ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING?! SHE'S A DIAGNOSED SOCIOPATH AND YOU THINK SHE WOULDN'T TRY AND GET WHAT SHE WANTS, EVEN IF SHE HAS TO DO SOME NASTY SHIT? DO YOU FUCKING HEAR YOUSE--" a few guards step into the room. "Issue?" Is all one of them says. "YES THERE IS! THAT FUCKER EVELYN JUST TRIED TO MIND-FUCK ME INTO SUBMISSION, TO BE HER BOYFRIEND AGAIN!" Austin screams this at the guards. Their stoic facial expressions don't change. All this time, Jean is just sat in the testing room unable to fully hear any of this, until Austin screamed that is. Until she notices she can use the gap between the steel panels, to climb up the wall

But back in the observation point of the room, Austin is flailing about in a fit of rage. He's shouting with all his energy, what Evelyn's hypnosis can and will do. Dr. Kamu refuses to hear it, whilst Joul is trying to figure out why he's refusing to listen. Then Austin's flailing and guards holding him, faces him at the observation deck's window. "...?! AND WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT?!" There's Jean, climbed up to the bubble observation window and looking in. Her eyes pierce through the glass as yellow, with most of her body being too dark to be seen. Her breathing, has created condensation. It's a mesmerising image, where her only visible features are her arms and legs spread apart, clinging to the glass, almost giving the image of a spider. It's haunting.

-Now would be a good point to grab a drink or something-

Jean pulls back a bit, only increasing her scary image, by everyone now seeing the big grin she has on her face as she peers around the room. Everyone is standing still completely still. "Hey?! What's with the statue-standing?!" Everyone loosens up a bit. "Take him to his room." Orders Joul. Austin now doesn't fight back. "I can see something in her..." Is all he says before peacefully walking off, despite what looks like the guards holding both of his arms, in a painful manner. 

Dr. Kamu then snaps out of whatever mindset he was in and fully reacts to Jean's appearance against the glass. "Wh-wHAT THE FUCK?! hOW DId you even get up here??" "I climbed up. The steel plates have big enough gaps." Just imagine this scene, two head researcher being eye-contact level, with someone they view as their test subject, staring right at them, pressed against the glass that's supposed to keep them safe. "Get down from there!!" Screams Dr. Kamu, attempting to order Jean. "Wh-whaa!" Says Jean, as the shock of someone suddenly running up to her and shouting at her, causes her to fall back just enough. There's a loud thud as Jean hits the tiles butt-first. "Owwf!" Is all she can yelp out as most of the force hits the flesh. It a good thing not much hit the bottom of her spine, that would've hurt so damn bad. 

Some armed guards bolt into the testing room. "Stand down, Subject!" "Whoa! What the fuck?!?" In the observation deck both Joul and Dr. Kamu are confused. "What the-- I didn't summon those guys." States Joul. "Me neither who the fu--" Then another, more distinguished armed guard comes in. "Wing Heads, Austin alerted us to the new Test Subject climbing up the wall. You know the procedure we have to follow." Joul sighs. "Yeahh. I know. 'All test subjects who figure out any weaknesses, must be put into their 'room' for 6 hours' I get why, Adu Captain." The armed guard then gives a slight nod to both Dr. Kamu and Joul, before leaving. The weight of his steel-soled boots clanking against the metallic floored hallway, as he radios his next orders. "Secure the TS. Non-lethal force." "Crystal."
