[QUOTE="Shalimar, post: 1212968, member: 9600"] The gold lettering along the girl's black clad arm reads 00023, and the barcode on her neck becomes clearly visible as she sweeps her hair up and behind her ear. She pulls herself up using Conner's arm for support. She seems positively tiny next to the mountain of a person that is Conner, the girl has to be over a foot and a half shorter then the Scottish boy. As she stands, it becomes even more clear that you know her, but your still not entirely sure of where you know her from. People begin to mill about, not sure of what was going on. If a cure had been found, where were the doctors? If it hadn't been found, why had everyone been woken. No one seemed to know, and the flashing red lightd heightened the fear, what could have gone wrong? "I don't think I know you, but you might have heard of my father, Doctor Kerensky, he's the one that came up with the Vaccine." She explained as she tried to get her bearings. "I..." she would have continued, had the automated door not opened admitting a gun barrel, followed by an armor clad figure baring the insignia of the Federated Commonwealth. The soldier, for that is obviously what he must have been, walked in slowly, scanning the room, his rifle passing over each of you. He was wearing what appeared to be a human skull on his head, although it was somewhat obvious that it was only a helmet, the glowing red of its eyes were certainly disturbing to say the least. A second soldier followed by a third and a fourth entered the room, scanning it just as intently as the first had. The quartet of soldier took up positions flanking the door, two kneeling, the other pair standing behind them, all weapons were trained on the black-clad teenagers who had emerged from the pods. The soldiers had been in the room for 30 seconds without bothering to speak, even without seeing their faces, you could all tell that they were tense, their fingers on their triggers. Finally a fifth soldier entered the room, unlike his comrades his body armor was a startling blood-red instead of the unrelieved black the others wore. He slowly and deliberately unclipped his helmet from his armor with a soft hiss, indicating, at least to Josiah, that the armor was air-tight. With a swift movement, the helmet was gone, resting in his hand. His eyes were a clear brown color that was almost dark enough to look black in the lighting, his salt and pepper hair lent him a dignified appearance, but even without it, he had an aura of menace, everyone could tell that this man was used to getting his way, or else... and no one wanted to know what the or else was, it had probably never came up. "I am Colonel Black. For now, I am God, you will follow my orders as if they come down from on high, or I will shoot you myself. I do not have time for spoiled babies or questions. You will know exactly what I need you to know, and you will comply with every order." His voice rings out like a trumpet, echoing throughout the large chamber.
