-Cade's POV-
I watch her as she steps into the glass cylinder before me and her face is nervous. She seems good at covering her emotions, but at moments like this I see the fear in her. I don't like how she makes me feel when she's afraid, I feel obligated to protect her. That vulnerability kills me, it reminds me too much of another...
"Cade?"
Shoot. I was staring at her again.
"Yes Arista?"
I said it coldly thank God. I can't let her see me like this.
"Well, what now smart one?"
She's so sarcastic sometimes and I love it. She reminds me of me one time long ago. But she's in the tube and I must now fire it up, I have to know if what I suspect is true.
Basically what "The Tube" is, is a device that will once the being is contained within it, scans the body repeatedly to find any traces of the unusual. The scan is always accurate and was specially designed for the Project to be used for the unusual supernatural beings that we (the recruits) are. I remember my scanning like it was yesterday, and it was truly unusual. I am the poster child of this program because of my powers, not because I've been here the longest or am thriving in this facility. My powers are varied widely and suit my personality. I am a master of Hallucinogenics (as I exihbited with Arista that hot night in Florida) and can wield enviroments with ease. But with that skill comes another, that being...
Arista shrieks and I know that the scan has begun, it does invoke a very odd feeling. To describe it mildly, it feels as though thousands of snakes are slithering up and down your spine, under your clothes it feels as though the writhing mass is trying to get into your body in any way possible. I think it has something to do with the waves of scans going through you, but it is an unnatural feeling to be sure. Honestly I enjoy it, but I could understand someone hating it, feeling repulsed by it.
The moniter before me glows to life and makes a whirring noise, getting ready to show me the information I crave. Arista's shrieks are fading in my ears as I become engrossed in the screen in front of me. The results start appearing almost immediatly.

--------------Uh-oh..
The scan pauses, seeming to doubt the information it has gleaned, but just for a moment. Then the words that I feared show up brightly on the screen, uncaring of the damage they will cause.
