Vlad signaled the guards to bring the teen to dinning room. He has set up a buffet for them. He had put out many of the teens favorite foods. He was hoping the food would distract them. This was the first time they would interact. He could hardly wait to begin the next step in his plan. He would prove his theory. He but first he had to turn criminals into soldiers. It would be an interesting challenge

Nyra slowly walked into the room. She was a bit nervous. She didn't know what these other guys have done. They could be murders. She sighed. Most likely murderers. Nyra looked and saw the food. This peaked her curiosity.

Jared looked around the food. "This, this is lie." His accent wasn't thick, but it showed his heritage thanks to his fathers thick accent. He couldn't believe there was this much food in a single place besides at a store. His stomach growled at him as he stared at the food. He sat down in front of what looked to be hamburger and steak. "All of this, I can eat? No pay?" He worried for a second as he looked around, then gave a shrug and tucked into the food, eating his fill as he waited to be yelled at.

Nyra looked at the man who started to eat. The food seemed safe. He hasn't keeled over yet. Nyra sighed and started to pick at the food.

Isabella moved in to the room slowly, looking over the food. It all seemed fine, she saw a lot of her favorite stuff waiting on the table. There was already a guy eating so she figured it was safe since he wasn't dead yet. And she wasn't likely to get anything else. It seemed odd to want to kill them off after just getting them there anyway. She brushed her red hair away from her face, her loose braid not doing much, as she took her seat and took a hamburger to eat. The food was good and she ate the whole thing before moving on to some salads and other meats that were on the table. "Hello," she called out to the people around her and hummed softly.

Alex was brought into the room by with a guard following him. The guard stood against the wall with his gun in the general direction of Alex. Alex ignored other people and just sat down and began to eat some food.

"Hello there leetle-bird." His accent thick on the word little. "This place, strange no? Gather all the people, for what? For playthings I say." He looked at the other girl that was there. "Another Leetle-bird.." Then his eyes drifted to the man that showed up "A wolf who bares his fangs, needs escort yes?" He had said this to the guard, noticing the man not saying anything to the few that were present. "Leetle-birds and fanged wolf, You call me Jared."

Now that most of his lab rat's were in the cafeteria Vlad decided it was time to make his appearance. He nodded to the guard who let his pet out of her cage. She glared at him. If looks could kill he would have been dead but at the moment his pet was harmless. He caressed her cheek. "Time to met the others."

Roxy growled low in her throat. If she had her knife the old creep would be so dead. One of these days he was going to learn to not touch her. One of the guards shoved her with a tazer her reminding her that she was suppose to be following the old man. She didn't want to but fighting the guards would only make things worse.

Vlad signaled the guards to keep the girl out of the cafeteria. She was a surprise. He opened the door and looked around proudly. His thin grey hair looked like he had stuck his hand into a light socket. He wore a white lab coat over a faded grey button down shirt. His dress pants had clearly seen better days. On his feet were a pair of worn out dress shoes. All and all he was a mess.

Nyra rolled her eyes. Little birds. She bet she could outsmart that guy and beat him till the brink of death. She looked up from her plate to see some more people walking in. She scowled from the man. He seemed too full of himself.

Alex had ignored everyone else but when Vlad entered he stopped eating and looked at the man. Alex then said "I'm guessing you're the head of this operation?" The guard watching him tense up. Alex said "So are you finally going to tell us why you brought us here?"

"Jared agrees with Fanged Wolf. You are head of thees Party, no? Why offer such good food to us who are to be locked away for life like caged bird?" He stood up with an laugh. "Jared does not think labcoat knows what he is messing with. Jared is large and strong, like bear. He is suppose to be locked away for life for crushing mans ribcage into counter. What does puny man with few guard think he can do to man who strong like bear?" Then he nodded towards Alex. "Or man that has longer fangs than wolf."

@Dmessenger@Ryka
That is correct. I am the head of this facility and this program. You are here to redeem yourselves in the eyes of the world. They have written you off. But I think you still have some use. I have added animal DNA to yours. It will all you to do things no other human can do. You will become elite soldiers." Vlad told them proudly.

Nyra huffed and stood up. She pointed at Vlad. "So we are just animals to you. You have to tame us so we can do your bidding."

Alex then stood up and said "are we really going to become elite soldiers, or just trained killers?" He looked around and said "because this freak show of a cast looks more like the suicide squad, than the A team."
(thumbs up if you understand the joke)

Jared blinked. "Mixed Jared's DNA?" He was slightly confused, not remembering that part. But there were lots of blanks in his memory. "Jared does not like want to be elite soldier. Jared wants to live normal life, children, wife, white picket fence. Jared wants life promised by USA." He looked at the others in the room. "Being animal, not the same."

Nyra crossed her arms and glared at Jared.
"Guess what, bear? You broke your contract with society like we did. No white picket fence for you."

Jared looked at the girl. "Society broke contract with Jared. How can one have a life, if society makes it impossible to live? Money worth more than lives." He snorted angrily. "If Jared has too, he will smash lab-coats ribcage like toothpick." He spat on the ground, no longer willing to eat. "Jared is not a toy for mad scientist to play with!" A slight growl would then echo from his throat.

"You all have DNA of an animal of my choosing in your body. You belong to me. You will be trained. These soldiers Vlad indicate to the guards around him. are armed with stun guns and tranquilizers. These have been specially designed to incapacitate you even with your improvements. Would you like a demonstration?" Vlad indicated to the girl with long jet black hair was escorted into the room. Her blue eyes swept the room evaluation each person in the room. Unlike the others she didn't wear a prison uniform instead she wore a old leather black biker jacket over a black lacy t-shirt. Her black leather pants fit like a second skin and were tucked into old black leather biker boots. But the oddest thing about her appearance was the thick black collar around her neck. The one of the guards shot the girl with a stun gun. Her body jerked. Without a sound she crumbled to the floor her body jerking with the electricity.

Nyra sat back down quickly after the demonstration. She looked back down at her plate, putting her head in her hands. "So what will happen? Will we, like, grow ears and tails?"

Isabella just stared at the girl for a moment when she fell to the ground. "I did not sign up for this," she mumbles and rubbed over her face. "Please say we won't grow ears and tails, I will not look good with a tail. The ears maybe." She scrunched up her face and glanced over the others. "Look, I think there's been some kind of mistake. You say you're trying to help make soldiers and you just shot a girl with a stun gun for no reason!"
