Prayer? A test subject...?

*There's a long pause while Enoch plays both again. The video feed picks up both again.*

...She seemed...concerned. What changed? What happened? When was her voice captured here?

*Another pause.*

[You better believe he snatches up that mic as fast as can be, son.]

Test subject? This Ruana person I've been hearing about was a test subject?

[animusnpcs]

[sageprincess]

[Well. That's... unsettling. But after what she's gleaned from Dax...]

... Testing her psi-onic abilities, I presume?

How did yesterday's test subject become today's boss?

[ That's the only thing that interests him really. ]

[animusnpcs]

Voice

[magiciansempress]

What was that!?

[Because it was kind of creepy and what is going on and what happened in the second did someone die and ohgod this place is terrifying.]

[animusnpcs]

[altitonant_emperor]

[ Why is whenever Hidetoshi stops avoiding the network, something like this happens. He is. So unsettled. ]

What on earth was that supposed to be about?

Who are you? Ruana? If you're Ruana, why are they | [ Pause. If she's an admin, should she be except from experiments? ] Were you the one experimented on?

[animusnpcs]

[ Huh. Reading the previous responses, she gather that this seems to be Ruana. And Ruana has psionics, apparently. ]

Ah, did you harm someone, there?

[animusnpcs]

yes

[imperialsun]

[For some reason, this almost reminds him of Maki and what happened with her and...]

I'm sorry.

[It's not his fault but...]

[animusnpcs]

for what?

[giveschase]

[After reading all of the replies so far...]

...So. How much do you hurt inside, Ruana?

[There's no condemnation, no hatred. In fact, there may be a tiny bit of sympathy.]

Because you can't tell me you aren't in pain after all of this.

[animusnpcs]

it's okay now

Wow, now he kind of actually feels like an asshole for how he acted at times, but... it doesn't completely justify her actions.

Still, from what he's read and what he's heard... he can put two and two together.]

What was that for; the experiments?

[animusnpcs]

walking tests

[atouchofstrife]

...Nothing ever changes, does it?

voice;

[swordedpast]

For our supposed rescuers, you guys are pretty messed up, aren't you?

[animusnpcs]

[yougotthatwrong]

T-that was...

[Mami is technologically inept.

Nonetheless, when she hears all of this...They did something horrible to a kid?! They considered her an experiment (admittedly she doesn't really get the implications of that, but it can't have been good if they were treating her as an object.)]

Mah goodness - ye poor dear... Are ye all righ'?

[lurking]

[nightmareofdivinity]

[He's not saying anything.]

[But he's here.]

[Be very careful what you say to her, Ruana. Very careful.]
