Dr. James watched Fintan go before turning back to his work. He really didn't have much to do, but he decided that if he was going to stay on the higher-ups good side long enough to allow Peri and Fintan to escape, he would have to turn in some form of research, no matter how fake it was. He could use what he already had found before changing his mind, but it would take some effort to work around such minimal and outdated information. No matter. He would get it done as quickly as possible.

Dr. Nahoko slammed his fist on the deck beside his control panel. Peri's slumped form was still in the chair, and for a moment, he considered leaving the shocks on a punishment, but he didn't want his precious subject to sigh to soon. With a hiss, he turned them off and pushed the call button for some help. A burly guard walked in, and Dr. Nahoko gestured to Peri with a grimace.

"Take her back to her room," he ordered, turning away before the guard even took his first step. He would find her later, after he came up with a new way to force her obedience. The guard did as he was told and left the room carrying Peri's slumped form. He hurried back to the subjects quarters, not exactly knowing where Peri's room was, but when he got to the hallway, he saw a boy subject standing outside.

"What are you doing?" the guard asked with a gruff tone, but he glanced at Peri and back at the boy with a frown. "Never mind. Tell me which room is this girl's."
