    Agent Kent looked at the three below him. Two of them remained quiet, simply waiting to hear what it was that was going on, while the other was demanding answers. The guards reacted to her outburst. She must have done something to put them on edge. Either way, this was useless with them in the room. He pressed down the switch for the speaker. It let out a high pitch hissy noise as it came on.

    "Leave the room." He said through the speak in an emotionless voice. His eyes still clued to the infected but he was clearly speaking to the guards which looked at each other a bit confused before following orders and closing the door behind them. The speaker was heard being shut off and the room returned to silence. Kent wished to simply observe them. Let them come to their own conclusions and see how they react, before beginning.

    He didn't use his own power often but today he made an exception. He wanted to get into their psyches, see and feel the emotions behind the face. Where they scared or angry? Anyone can train their face to show the emotion they wished, some people learned to find tells but Kent didn't waste time on that. Why do that when you can get inside their heads.

    He didn't wish to make his presence known in there, he made no alterations, he simply listened. He could hear all of their internal voices, each thinking the same thing, 'what was going on?'. He turned his attention to the girl who had made the outburst. She seemed to be going through a much bigger crisis.

    Her face was still twisted into a scowl, eyes narrowed in accusation at the observation window.
    This feeling... Something in her head? Scratching... Prying, listening. She had known this feeling before, it felt oddly familiar yet she couldn't place why. Her memory offered what it could, hazy faces and images. Steel, the smell of disinfectant and a warm hand on her cold skin. They meant nothing to her.
    She sometimes cursed her terrible broken memories, however the horrific nightmares sometimes made her wonder if it was a blessing to be blissfully ignorant of the pain she'd felt at the hands of the scientists and researchers.
    Large hands, rough and scarred. What does it all mean? The scratching seemed to get louder as the mere seconds passed...
    She looked at her fellow infected, couldn't they feel it too?! This strange feeling? It was frustrating to the point of irritation now.
    "Argh, don't Argos get tired of the cryptic shit and mind games!" She groaned, rubbing her aching head.

    Neman looked up from his mental inventory when the loud one spoke again, this time about mind games. "What do you expect from Argos?" He replied, getting tired of standing. He made an exact replica of the cot in his normal room and sat down on it, the bottom of his face getting lit by the orange light that composed of the cot. Though he did feel a... presence... on the outer reaches of the order his mind was. Poking and prodding at the feeling mentally really didn't do anything to incite his interest, however, so he had left it alone, content for it to watch as he went through his inventory. "They're all about mind games. Testing and learning, then exterminating, if the tests don't stand up to par." He said after a moment. His thoughts turning to his brother, the one that Argos had taken away from him when they discovered that they had both been Infected. Something about being too far along, they said. They had shot him right there, as they loaded Neman up into the transport.

    Agent Kent turned his attention to the youngest one and only male of the group. He seemed unbothered by Argos 'games' as he so put. Kent could feel they were aware of his presence. Infected always seemed to be more aware of it than those who weren't. Neman seemed to have already came to reasonable conclusions about Argos.

    "There won't be any more testing. In fact this is your last, if you pass." Kent came through the mic again.

    "You expect us to believe that?!" She spat pointing an accusing finger at the window
    Pass? Pass!? Ha! Argos tests weren't exactly the kind you could pass, you just needed up with a nice new scar or two.
    God damn it that scratching in the back of mind was getting louder and louder...
    "Seriously can't you guys feel that?" She moaned, maybe it was just meds wearing off or something but jesus it was annoying.
    She looked at the small boy sitting on the strange bed, his face revealed nothing, blank and expressionless. There wasn't fear or anger. Just indifference. What on earth did Argos do to make a child like that? It made her shudder at the thought.

    Neman nodded, taking the Observer's words at face value. He returned to his mental inventory as he responded to the girl. "If you mean the presence of someone--or thing-- watching and listening to your mind... Then yes, I feel it. Otherwise the only thing I'm feeling right now is the hard cushion that makes up the cot in my sleeping area." The sarcastic comment followed with a pat of the gently glowing cot, his face as impassive as ever. He shifted on the cot, as he said, "Now; this test, a final, is probably with how the each of us react to being teamed up--or pit against one another--considering that this is the first test I've ever taken with any other infected, as I assume the two of you are. Am I correct?" The question at the end directed at the Observer.

    Lia narrowed her eyes at the mentions of tests, Argos tests never turned out to be any good; and if this was to be the final test... One could assume atleast one of them wouldn't be making it through. Continuing to observe her fellow infected, the decided that neither of them were currently in any state of mind to help with her quest of revenge. The girl was simply too expressive, whining and raging at uselessly and whilst the other simply sat and waited... He was a boy, and she had yet to see what he was capable of. She listened silently to their conversation about what the tests could possible be. But at the boy's assumption, she spoke up for the first time. "No." Her voice quiet, soft, rebounded off the walls of the chamber. She had been pitted against other infected before, and had fought to the death. One of the many methods Argos used to break her psyche and assure her docile, obedient nature.

    "I can assure you this is the last. If you pass, you are all being moved into a different program. If you fail, all those guards that brought you in are under orders to exterminated all of you where you stand."

    The words were blunt and cold. Agent Kent wasn't going to waste time, trying to ease their tensions. He needed to know how'd they act under tension. Everything was being analyzed, their physical and mental ability to handle the situation. Would they work together to get out alive? Would they turn on each other? Or would they attempt escape? Looking to the oldest of the group, Lia, he could feel her itching to rebel against Argos, against him but he wasn't going to go as fair as to say he felt her a threat.

    "You will all work as one, together. Either all of you come out or none of you. It is that simply."

    Neman nodded again, simply accepting the Observer's statements as the facts that they were. His eyes hardened slightly, though, as he recorded the dire status of this test. Standing up, he let the cot vanish as he began stretching. He knew that his physical strengths were rather minimal, considering the vast majority of the tests given to him to this point had been mental. However, he doubted that this time would simply be a mind game. As he stretched, he began building miniatures of the vehicle blueprints that they'd given him. Once he had gone through all 350, he started on the many, many more weapons. By the time he was finished with his impromptu stretching exercises, he had well over 1,000 miniature creations, all orbiting five feet over his head. The last thing he built was a full-sized standard issue assault rifle used by the guards. As he checked it's moving parts, he let the others dissipate in a large orange cloud that mimicked exactly what he was doing to the assault rifle, only on a very large scale.

    Satisfied that every moving part was in full working order, he let both weapons vanish as he straightened out. His little display over, he walked calmly over to the volatile one and held out his right hand. "My name is Nemanien, and I will get through this. The scientists call me X-34, and you are?" Few would have heard it by his straight face, bland smile of greeting, and neutral voice: when he said the word 'will' there was such force behind the simple word that if it where a blade; it would have cut through a tank sitting behind a 400 foot thick concrete wall. If he failed this test, he'd never get to see anyone or thing outside of this place. That was unacceptable, as he had sworn to himself on the day his brother had died that he would live to see the end of the Opis Virus, or die succeeding.

    So we have to work as a team? Or they'll all die? Very Argos...
    "I'm Amy!" She smirked grabbing his cold hand with gusto in a firm handshake not at all fazed by the blank expression and even voice there was a determination behind his eyes and she could respect that. She looked over at the Older woman, who expression revealed nothing.
    "And you are?" She asked her hand extended to her, without cation.
