AVice woke with quote wondering if drinking blood would heal hang overs like it would wounds? She decided against testing it out on the nearest joe...
Of which would be one of the fellows she invited to bed with.
"Riiight..." she remembered the fire and the party and she slipped out of the bed and after a morning piss she was out the door to get breakfast of the like. She looked up at the sky and the sun was... horrible...
She was hazy and wobbly in her stance shielding her eyes. The best she could wandering to the market.

Avice would notice she just didn't feel like being here.
'Keep walking Avice... The answer is just over there.'
Her mind would feel hazy and she would find it difficult to think straight. However leaving, getting away from here. That felt right.

Yeah that just felt right
She halted in her steps and blinked a couple of times as her mind went blank.
What was she doing?
She felt a pull and looked in it's direction. And she started walking.

She was walking to the edge of 63. No she was walking further. If asked.
'You have important things to take care of. You will be back.'
She would make it out of 63 heading away from Cabal even. She wanted to wait here for some reason, right here in the opening to the woodlands, far from prying eyes.
Two figures would approach, one wearing dark clothing, but obvious bone like armor over exposed skin spots like his neck or for arms. The other in similar dark clothes holding two fingers to his temple.
"Why retrieve her now?"
The one with the armor asked the other.
"Because the orders sitting around in her dna won't last much longer. It's time for her optimization."
Avice felt cloudy still, but this felt right.

She got to a clearing in the forest and sat down getting comfort able while she waited when these fellows approached her she shrugged when one asked the other his question.
"Isn't now as good of a time as any? Feels right to me..." she rested her woozy head on her arms.

They would exchange looks.
"Right, now works fine. I just wanted a reason. I like knowing."
Bone armored guy would say explaining his stance. The other man would step forward holding his free hand out.
"Come now Avice. The Exam negotiations are coming to a close. It's time to get Optimized so you can do your duty."

"Alright." she stood up and dusted her pants. Reaching for his hand and placing her own in it. As long as she was under this haze she would follow with out fight.

They would lead her to another clearing where a vehicle waited. Looked like a helicopter, but it didn't have propellers.
Inside would be a large bay area machines and computers, however there were only two chairs. In the middle of the bay was a large pod laying down and open.
"The pod will take your head ache away. And get your body ready for the optimization."
She would be led into it her prosthetics removed and it filled with a green tinted liquid she felt she could breath in.
Like that they would be off, into the sky and gone. Landing somewhere they would wheel her pod out. She could see a landing pad connected to a high tower. As she was stood upright with the pod she could see a vast city. One she had never seen before.
Many similar flying vehicles, people with wings and other such advanced looking sleek technology and architecture. She was wheeled in and to an elevator, people in fancy regal and form fitting clothing moved about ignoring her. There were even a few other people being wheeled about like her as if it were just the most normal thing.
Finally into a lab a doctor looking man with wire framed glasses, bald, and green eyes would sit in a chair with a clip board.
"Good morning Miss Locked, are you feeling alright? Do you know where you are?"
Oddly enough Avice WOULD know where she was. This was a Prota optimization and augmentation facility. And her have was gone. Her body however was paralyzed.

When the green liquid hit it was relatively chill. Not cold but it was enough her first instinct to hold her breath was where she fell to. And when she could no longer the fluid seemed to feel fine going into her nose and lungs. It relaxed her reflexes and her head ache subsided. But her clarity came back. She was two limbs down and she just realized she let them take her limbs. Just let them do as they pleased.
Getting to the window and watching te land go by she was so confused. She looked for a way to open the door or the window. Her own brute force wasnt enough.
They would enter the facility and she fell to the back of the pod her heart beating rapidly and with more force she would beat the window baring fangs thrash around to tip it over or what ever she could think of. When someone finally acknowledged her it was someone with probably the most punchable face she evet saw wit her monochromatic eyes. But even as that came her body began to slow and go numb all together. Pacifying her rage and terror. She could only look at him with the unease in her gaze heavily apparent.

"Well looking over your files, it will be a few days in the pod. Gotta regrow those limbs before we can start the optimization. I'm thinking... Flexibility, maybe some multi directional awareness... How about breathing underwater? We'll see."
He would wheel the pod over and hook it into the wall where it slid into place perfectly. After a few minutes Avice would begin feeling a sharp pain, not overly painful, just a pain in her stumps. After a day about half of her limbs had grown back, Avice would be given freedom to move very slowly within the pod.
"Are you doing okay today Commander Locke?"
The scientist would say as he entered the lab. Addressing Avice with respect. Using yes or no responding questions to make it easy for Avice.

She had contorted herself upside down in the pod. She missed the feeling of firm ground and never had time passed by so slowly while in this confined space. She was incredibly bored. The pain in her arm and leg were annoying as shit but she was oddly facinated watching them grow back
Hearing Punchable's voice she opened her eyes. She was meditating as she hadnt done it in a while and their was not but time to think here. She set herself upright pressing hands against the glass she couldnt help but be confused about the change in title but she switched to a very unamused expression she quickly didn't care. She just knew it meant they wanted her to work for them.
She looked at her left hand as if it was the first time! It was balled into a fist and she looked at it amazed! Pretending there was a crank on the side of it she rotated her right hand and mimed it raising a middle finger to the bald man. A smirk plain on her face once her official "fuck you" of the day was out in broad daylight.

He watched this wondering what she was doing up until her middle finger began to open...
"So, about as good as can be expected."
He would shuffle around the lab for a few moments looking for something specific.
"Commander, the Command Captain wished to come in and brief you. Is that okay?"

She sunk down to the bottom of the tank looking at him. Waiting...
Not like she was given much other choice. But incase that wasnt answer enough to him she gave a sarcastic and half assed thumbs up.

The doctor would shake his head and move to the side and opening the door to the lab to let in a tall and lithe man in regal clothing. "I am Arcenus Valukan, the Command Captain. I figured since we would be working together at the very least soon, I should get to know you." |

She rolled her eyes and made a "pfft!" noise in the fluid she was trapped in. With her still in here not really able to say much those words sounded hollow.
