Dr. Volks: Mentions: Dr. Jefferson

At first, Volks wanted to just groan out of frustration, but a thought popped in his head. He remembered hearing a bunch of things from what Jericho said to Ero while they were in the room and when Jericho was in his own room; he always wanted Jericho to keep fighting and not to give in. "Give me a minute... and take Ero off of her sedatives. I have an idea!" Volks ran out of the room and halfway down the hall before entering a records room and telling the assistants to get him all logs of Jericho, and sure enough there were clips of him worrying about Ero harming herself and breaking down, and what made it even better, he sounded desperate. "Take that audio and clean it up: I need to use it to persuade an experiment." He said to them, and they all got to work, only needing to spend a few minutes before they had the audio ready to go for him. "Oh, and get the other pieces of audio ready ot go as well; I might need them later on." He left and returned to Dr. Jefferson. "I might be able to decieve her with these audio clips. It's Jericho telling her to be strong and not to give in and harm herself."

Achlys | Female | 16 | M: Ibex (ind), open

The sound of footsteps walking back and forth across a floor made of a rather cold, hard material echoed throughout a small room. The source of them was a teenage girl of an above average height, her long black hair which almost reached the floor flowing behind her as she paced around. Anybody could feel the anxiety radiating off of her, that was, if there was anybody else in her room. Which, of course, there wasn’t. She was utterly alone.

Achlys had narrowly escaped the last Ibex facility with the rest of her fellow experimentals, and the slightly insane teenager had relished her rather short period of freedom while it had lasted. But, then, of course, knowing her sluggish state during the daytime and weakness to light, Ibex had tracked her down afterwards and recaptured her. How boring. Why not track the girl down during the night, where she could make use of her powers? Where she had the advantage. Why did all of those damn Ibex pests have to be so damn persistent in finding her, anyway?

“Why?” Achlys said to herself, her low, monotone voice soon becoming more of a chuckle. “Whywhywhy?”

For the most part, Achlys had just been alone in her cell, left to rot away as she stared at the big, blinding lights above her while trying to figure out a way of escape. Rarely had any Ibex workers come to check on her, since she was powerless anyways. Unless there was some sort of power outage or it was by the hand of another experimental, Achlys would never get out. The girl was unable to use any of her abilities except for her superior intelligence, but that’d just degrade her sanity even more and make this whole situation even more unbearable. She was trapped, just like a bird in a cage. Her freedom ripped from her.

Sometimes, though, Achlys would hear the occasional chatter of Ibex employees or the unfamiliar cries of others. Could they be like Achlys? Experimentals? Or, were they just Ibex workers crying for better working conditions? Whoever they were, they were interesting to Achlys. She liked to know what was going on in her world around her.

The female kept pacing around, every passing second her mind lingering on the thoughts rushing through her head.

Dr. Volks: Mentions: Ero and Dr. Jefferson

"I hope it works, otherwise we are truly out of options just shy of actually having Jericho there." He said to Jefferson before turning on the intercom. "Ero? I think someone has a few words to say to you..." He stopped to look at the computer before playing a few choice voice clips. "Ero? Ero! Please... please stay strong. I... I know that you're scared. Don't worry..." The clip said, before Dr. Volks added on. "Want me to let him talk some more? I know you miss him dearly."

Ero I M: Jericho (Ind.) and Dr. Volk

Ero slowly woke up, panic slowly setting in again. She clutched Jericho's shirt tight to her, whimpering. Suddenly she heard the same doctor's voice bounce around the room and she shivered, but the moment she heard Jericho's voice she smiled, cherishing every moment. Although when it ended, she felt more anxiety and fear when it ended. She wanted to do what Jericho had said, but her severe anxiety from her obsessive nature started to kick in. Her heart rate started to go up again, her breathing getting quicker.
"Please! I want Jericho! Jericho please! Jericho!" She shouted, letting out a scream afterwards as she started to shake. She clutched his shirt, tears staining her face. She was starting to freak out again, hearing Jericho so close, yet so far was killing her inside, it was painful to her heart and she didn't know how to cope with that. "I want Jericho!" She screamed again, heart rate spiking. She was terrified.

Dr. Volks: Mentions: Ero and Dr. Jefferson

"Uh..." Dr. Volks began looking through the different audio files and he played another one over the intercom. "Ero! Please calm down, for both of us. I know you're really scared, but I promised you that I would never let Ibex get between us..." Franctically Dr. Volks stopped with the audio piece before he played another one. "I know you missed me so badly, but I promise that we'll be together once again. You just need to be calm for me, okay?" The doctor stared at Ero, hoping that he would be able to calm her down now.

Ero I M: Jericho (Ind.) and Dr. Volk

Ero heard Jericho again and she stopped her screaming. She hugged the shirt tighter, savoring every word she heard from Jericho. She started to tear up, wanting Jericho now, she needed him now. She didn't understand why she couldn't just have him right then. When he stopped talking again, she didn't flip out completely. She was shaking and still giving short sharp breathes, but was not as panicking. He promised they would be together, she remembered him promising that to her. That triggered some memories, those memories subduing her extreme anxiety for that moment and the few after it. She laid back down on her side and pulled her legs upto her stomach. She felt mild panic once again when something was different. Her stomach, it was swollen slightly. Ibex had done soemthing to her, she didn't know what it was, but it was something. She just closed her eyes and focused on a memory, trying to follow Jericho's words.

Dr. Jefferson I M: Ero and Dr. Volk

Dr. Jefferson let out a very deep sigh of relief. Her vitals were going down steadily, although they were still elevated. That was normal for her though, she was almost always slightly stressed. He rubbed his forehead, watching the very distressed woman lay on her side and clutch the shirt, soothing herself slightly.

"I don't know if that'll last..." he mumbled, watching her closely as she seemed to examine her stomach and her vitals spiked slightly. He felt a wave of fear shoot though him, did she know she was pregnant? Was she going to freak out? She didn't though, didn't show signs of happiness, nor of a strong emotion. He supposed she must not know still, not with the way she reacted to things. She just closed her eyes after that, but that didn't have Dr. Jefferson sold. "I don't trust her one bit. One moment she's fine, and the next she's being completely mental and freaking out." He said, running a nervous hand through his hair. "We don't even know why that worked and the message before didn't. It was practically the same thing."
