The Real World, Quiet HiveMind Facility
Annalise closed her eyes as the group members gathered themselves and began to form a plan. She stayed silent as there were gaps in her thoughts and memories that struggled to connect. However, she supposed most of the last year was fabricated since thousands of people were encased in chambers like the one she emerged from. The most concerning part for Annalise was that she did not know memories beyond two years ago. Her parents? Their faces were blurry and their names a buzzing sound in her head. All the experiments and 'training' Von Galloes put her through? Prevalent and on the forefront.
When she heard Nick's and Nova's voices, Anna blinked her eyes open. The buzzing that was her attempting to recall further memories faded into the background. She smiled tiredly as the amount of energy it took to disrupt the server their room was on had taken a lot out of her.
"I'll be okay..." Annalise replied to Nick by adding
'hopefully' in her thoughts. She did remember a woman warning her how...consuming dark matter energy could feel, how addicting using said abilities could be. Thankfully, Annalise had yet to kill anyone with her abilities as the woman mentioned how intense those feelings could be.
"I'm just going to sit down a bit while we have the time," she murmured to Nova as she sat on the floor and leaned back against one of the empty chambers. Anna heard Nova mention food and supplies to Maw and the group. Both were needed as who knows how vast this facility was and how long it would take to break out. Von Galloes was famous for favoring twisting corridors and maze-like facilities. Annalise squinted her eyes at the white ceiling.
How did she know that? The map Cosette recovered was familiar but...
why? Why did she have flashes of various facilities when she clearly remembers being in only one facility?
"We need to figure out something. The longer we sit here, the higher the chance a creature of Von Galloes's amusement will find us," Annalise stated as she stood back on her feet to prepare herself to move. Her hazel green hues flicked to the others in the group while her gaze settled on Axen. She studied Axen as she was rather fascinated that this robotic creature was so sentient.
