Vera Kintun's Story

Warning. Warning. Testing in process. Proceed with extreme caution. Do not enter testing facility. A dull, female voice echoed through the halls near the testing facility. In the empty, sealed off room, a small pod sat in the middle, containing a large mixture of dangerous chemicals. There was a single door on one side, sealed shut, the wall on the opposite side was fitted with a thick glass. On the other side of any wall was of course, an empty room. This was to test just how far the bomb would stretch and how effective it was on different types of walls, glass and doors. After the rooms was a large barrier where no one could enter, protected only by a large shield, held up by many of the Resistant's shield manipulators.Warning. Warning. Testing in process. Proceed with caution. Do not enter testing facility. The voice repeated. Explosion in five... Four... Three... Two... One...

Chase sighed, feeling his room shake as the explosion went off. The light over him flickered. Dust fell from the brown ceiling above, the tiny crack letting through the slightest amounts of sand. It didn't matter how many times he patched up the roof, it never stayed the same when testing was in action. Closing his eyes for a split second, he lifted the papers from his desk and tidied the pile before setting them down in the top left corner of his desk. "This is getting so annoying..."

Back in the testing facility, Setti grinned, removing the goggles so that she could get a better look at the damage made. "I love explosions," she whispered as she knelt next to the rubble of one of the walls. Even some of the ceiling had fallen, making the room too dangerous to be in. Of course she didn't care, and had ignored the orders of the commander. She was going to examine the remains and no one would stop her. "Ah, the results are a little disappointing, but, that's to be expected. It was only a prototype," she whispered to herself, an odd habit she had. Many people usually commented that she was mad for talking to herself or for her stupid risks. In return, she just look at them, smiling innocently and simply say 'Thank you'.

Paisely sighed, glancing up when her light shut off for a few moments. "Wonderful," she muttered. God she hated the noise of explosions... or noise. Knowing she'd probably get into trouble for going to the test area, she did it anyway. Tossing her hair over her shoulder, she traipsed towards where she just knew Setti would be. Seeing that she was walking through the rubble, she rolled her eyes. Paise fixed the net gloves resting over her arms before knocking on the blast glass. "You know you're going to get yourself killed right?" she called. "Get out of there."

"Explosion reached into the next room in three directions. Didn't even scratch the glass... How on Har- Eh?" Setti blinked, cutting off her analysis and looking up to peer through the glass. Even there, she could hear the vampire girl talking. The blonde shook her head, a small smile playing at her lip. "No can do!" she chirped, though attempting to keep quiet at the same time. After all, the other girl hated noise. Setti shook her head, going back to the rubble before her. Sighing softly, she stood and dusted herself off. She was about to move on to the next spot, when the roof had suddenly caved in. Letting out a high pitched squeak, she jumped back, pulling the laser gun from her side. Once the dust had cleared enough to see, she trained the weapon on the little girl. "Eh?" Setti blinked, standing straight, but not lowering her weapon. "Who are you and how did you find this place?" she asked in a low voice.

Taking a deep breath, Chase stood from his desk, the cave in having shaken the room again. Of course, he only expected it to have happened because of the explosion. But knowing his sister, he wanted to check that she was still actually alive.
