Alright!~ And thus, like promised, a new chapter ^^ So, wanted to finish at least on my b-day today. *sigh* Also, do you know that bliss when you naturally excited and glad that at least one of characters survived? cos my, oh my...I'm relieved~ But you may say ''Mina, but what about Kyo? he is-'' Shush....xD for now let him be under the good care. Anyway, not sure if this how you do time transitions, cos rarely use them. So, another practice...
Anyway, enjoy!

Once they left this room, Kurama looks around, however, no signs of his assistant. Even so, he closes his eyes and smiles while silently telling to himself ‘‘Don’t tell me that you are still asleep, Nemu…It can’t helped that I have to look after you.’’, now he calmly addresses this Kusanagi ‘‘It seems that first I would need to go to my room and sort out couple things. So, for now, all you need to do is to keep a company for me.’’. Kyo remains silent and just plays along with this man's rules.
After walking for awhile in the familiar white corridor, they were in front of an automated door from the right side. Now this silverhead picks a id card from his coat's pocket. Just before stroking it on the electric panel, he was interrupted by this brunette's question in irritated tone "When I can see Shingo? I just want to check by myself whenever he is fine or not.". He just impatiently starred at the professor.
However, after this fluffy silverhead fixes his glasses, without looking back he answers in serious tone ‘‘Be patient. You’ll see him soon after the testing.’’, once strokes id card into panel, the iron door opens and as Kurama takes step inside, he looks back and prompts this brunette ‘‘You can come inside.’’.
When they were inside the room, this silverhead placed a testing tube from his pocket on the stove with some other various tubes. However, something catches his eye. Apparently, some of documents were missing, which he left on the working table. As he gently smiles, he sighs - it seems that maybe his assistant went one step ahead of him. Even so, it was unusual for her to do anything without waiting until his approval.
Nevertheless, maybe this woman finally decided to stop acting like a dog, who never leaves Kurama’s side unless he asks. She was too passive and never disagreed with this silverhead. Hell, even her choker was fake and broken - it was only her own sign of her thought long-year loyalty. Kurama didn’t asked for this, but as long as his subordinate is doing her job, he didn’t minded. He felt nothing more than a pity for this woman, who once was not only a proud and lively scientist with ambitions higher than any mountain, but also with burning passion for her work. However, he did not understood when and why she gradually degraded to a mindless spirit, which only exist to serve. Maybe it was Kurama’s mistake to let her be his assistant, who knows…
However, right now he looked at this brunette and speaks to him ‘‘My, it seems someone was ahead of us. It can’t be helped then…Anyway, why don’t you sit down for awhile? I’ll turn the coffee machine and I’ll bring you some snacks.’’, but Kyo gave him doubtful look and asked ‘‘Why should I trust you?’’. Even so, this professor chuckles and calmly replies while dodging the question ‘‘You still haven’t got your breakfast yet. Besides, I don’t want you pass out during today’s test. So, why don’t you relax until then?’’.
Surely, this brunette still mistrusts this man, but he listened to this order and sat down on a office chair in front of the working table while this silverhead went to the end of the room where was another door leading to a different room, in which probably he was resting. And thus, this Kusanagi was left alone for a few minutes. It didn’t took long enough and Kurama returns with a hot cup of sweet scented liquid and a small glittering package on his other hand. After he was so close to Kyo, he carefully placed a cup and the package.
Apparently, it was one of these new generation nutrient bars, which in this day and age become a substitute for a food products, because they were so much cheaper and faster to produce. More important, they contain the same food value as normal food products, which is nowadays only a privilege of rich people. However, these nutrient bars also came in several different flavors, which suppose to emulate how it tasted back in a few centuries ago. In this case, it was a chicken flavor.
Nevertheless, this brunette wasn’t the fan of this flavor, but he didn’t complained and silently accepted it. Once he pealed off the rustling package, he carefully tasted yet felt such a pressure when he was being watched by this man, but his hunger won and he ignored the presence of this silverhead. Although, Kurama somehow felt assured and glad seeing that this Kusanagi was eating from his hand without any stress. More important, even if it was a brief moment, but this brunette was like an accurate replica of someone, whom he knew in the past. Maybe it was a mere coincidence or a cruel joke, but at same time he was glad yet somehow it hurts. Why he have to have same face and look as him? Or so, thought Kurama.
After awhile, he was also about to finish a cup of a herb tea, which he hoped didn’t had anything weird in it. Once again this professor calmly addresses Kyo ‘‘Are you feeling a bit better? So, should we go?’’. Once Kurama strokes id card, the door opens and both leaves this room.
Good quarter of hour has passed~ Now this fluffy silverhead repeats same procedure but this time with also entering pin code. The iron door kindly opens for them. However, inside this room there was area separated by thick wall. Maybe it was a space for the testing subjects, so, then it could explain why there was a big bulletproof glass window and below, the control panel. Behind the window there was visible an expensive look one-person sized mini couch covered in black leather, however, on it there were rather a newest design headphones and a VR glasses.
However, back to panel, it seems that in this room a familiar woman were already waiting them with her usual emotionless look. Now Kurama comments in is usual tone ‘‘It seems that you already prepared everything on your own.’’, this gal was waiting to be praised, however, instead that he continued ‘‘But first, could you help me preparing Kusanagi-kun for the procedure? I just want to make sure that you would know how to do it by your own whenever you would be working with anyone else.’’.
This silverhead now in comforting tone addresses Kyo while leading him inside the testing zone ‘‘We need to check your reflexes, it won’t take long. So, why don’t you try to relax and leave the rest to the program?’’.
Once this brunette was next to chair this fellow scientist prompts him to it sit down. After resting his arms on the chair, he gets alerted when one of his writs was tied up by sturdy leather strap. It seems that other one tied up by so-called Nemu and from other side - by Kurama. Kyo nearly growls at them ‘‘What a hell you’re doing?! Untie me before I’ll out you into right place!’’, but the professor only replies in chill tone while been working on putting straps around his ankles ‘‘Calm down. I’m just making sure that you won’t hurt yourself, that’s it.’’.
After finishing with ankles, Kurama fixes the final strap around the waist and chest of this Kusanagi. Surely, being tied up like an animal, only further infuriated him, unfortunately, he understood that he was not in the position to object. Now this fluffy silverhead places the VR visors on Kyo’s eyes, leaving him in darkness and then fixing the headphones.
However, after several minutes, this brunette started to feel how cold electrical pads were placed on his temples, under shirt in heart area and near the elbow veins. Now he hears a familiar voice through headphones ‘‘Can you hear me? Nod if you can. Then we can process further.’’, there was no choice and Kyo slowly nods, he could hear further instructions ‘‘Listen, now you should see a view in any second…Can you tell me what you see?’’, soon the image lights up and this brunette could see that he was now in some kind of abandoned prison cell and someone was approaching him.
Kyo only nervously chuckles and mockingly replies ‘‘It’s sure nothing really different how you keeping me. Instead that in this room there is even cellmate and for some reason he is not happy seeing me.’’. Kurama only gets confused while checking the data on the panel and then checking his subordinate, who also wore a pair of VR visors, this man could swear that she was even slightly smiling while working on the keyboard. Surely, it raises the suspicious of this silverhead, however, he decides to trust his co-worker.
Nevertheless, he addresses Kyo through microphone in slightly concerned tone ‘‘Don’t hesitate to say anything if something causes you pain, got it?’’ meanwhile in the testing a thin laser touches his hand. However, this Kusanagi only groans and tries to withdraw his hand. Another laser points to his other hand - same reaction, but with along that shaking his head. The laser points to his left cheek - grits his teeth turns his face other way and this brunette replies through the pain ‘‘…you asshole…’’.
Laser points to abdomen - this brunette lets out a louder scream. Kurama only crosses his arms as he observes further the laser pattern and the reactions of this Kusanagi - chest, abdomen, arms, legs, face and in random order. Definitely, it shouldn’t be in theory, even the when he looked on data, the heartbeat and breathing rhythm looked more distorted than should be. What a hell that woman is doing? - the test subject shouldn’t scream in agony! It should only cause slight irritation…The last drop was when Kyo began to struggle and move too much while roughly breathing and moaning in pain.
Now he suddenly approached his subordinate and removed the VR visors from her face. This brunette looked at him with innocent and questioning look on her face while Kurama puts the VR visors. She never seen her adored professor so openly stressed. This silverhead grits his teeth and yells ‘‘Nemu! What is the meaning of this!? Turn the switch off. Now!’’ after tossing the VR set, he pushes this woman away and now after entering a certain command with keyboard - switches off the system. Kurama storms through the door to the testing zone and removes all straps and devices from this brunette’s body.
However, it seems that Kyo’s whole body was slightly twitching while his eyes were wide open and filled with tears, even through his mouth the saliva was running down. Eventually, he stopped moving. After this silverhead placed his hand on this brunette’s sleep-artery, he sensed the pulse. Fortunately, he just lost his consciousness. So, now he placed his medical coat around this brunette and after picking a phone from his pants pocket, calls Makishima.
Meanwhile Nemu just silently starred through the window. She didn’t liked the gestures of her precious professor, the cold and serious look on his face, his stiff shoulders, nearly walking around in circles. After several minutes he dropped the ring and puts phone back to his pocket. Surely, it didn’t looked promising when this silverhead left the testing area and once he approached his subordinate, he addresses her in cold and serious tone ‘‘Did I tell you if you don’t understand anything, you need to ask and do not act recklessly. It seems you changed the settings and doctor Makishima was not very pleased, because this not what she asked us to do. So, why did you do that in a first place?’’.
Now he places his hand on her shoulder continuing ‘‘Nemu, don’t tell me that you saw what we did it today?’’, this brunette was shocked yet just starred with a guilty look on her face ‘‘You know, it’s none of your concern if I need to assist someone by just taking needed test samples. So, if you think that you can show your nerves by on purposely causing someone pain, then…I suggest you to work with someone else. This time I’ll pretend that nothing happen today. So, that’s it for today, you’re dismissed.’’.
After such a talk, Kurama returns to testing area, ignoring how this woman fell on her knees and her silently sob. Once he was closely to this still unconscious Kusanagi, he places his arm around his shoulders and helps him to stand up. It took several minutes to leave the room and walk away.
A good hour has passed~ This brunette started to wake up. However, once he opened his eyes, he panics - it wasn’t his cell at all. More so, it even if that was a minimal bedroom, he noticed that it was pretty dark there. However, soon enough someone switched the lights on, now a familiar figure shows up through a door. Apparently, it was that same silverhead, but this time he wasn’t wearing his medical coat.
When he saw half sitting Kyo, he gives a warm smile for him while asking ‘‘So, you’re awake? Took long enough…Anyway, how do you feel?’’. This brunette remains silent but after short pause, he asks in uncertain tone ‘‘What am I doing here? Have you done anything wrong to me again?’’. Kurama only fixes his glasses as he was walking towards this brunette. After sitting next to him, he replies ‘‘Rest assure. I’m off the duties for today. So, let me relax for a bit…Unless, you need anything.’’.
This Kusanagi clenches his hands into fists and gives a demanding look while asking ‘‘You told that I can see Shingo when it would be over. So, where is he?’’. However, this silverhead’s face darkens and he remains quiet for a moment. After sighing, he replies in serious tone ‘‘I talked today with doctor Makishima while you were dozing out. Along with reporting the results…Unfortunately, your dear friend didn’t made it. He died this morning. I’m sorry.’’.
Kyo just widens his eyes and remains dumb-folded. He thought that he misheard, maybe it was some kind of mistake. However, now he freezes in same spot without moving. Only after couple minutes he collapses. Fortunately, his head hits Kurama’s chest, where now he rest for awhile. The last ray of hope has dimmed that moment. Hell, it didn’t mattered that he was so vulnerable in front of this man. Now this brunette just wished for being asleep for an eternity.
Back to the day of the tragedy in NEST spaceship~. After these mysterious soldiers took away Kyo, Shingo was left all alone in this spaceship. At this moment he still was out of this world, resting in the darkness. That blank stare gazed into nothingness. It was already clear as day what kind of fate awaits this young soldier.
However, a hour has passed~ A young woman in military uniform, who had a blue pony-tail, was wondering in a certain corridor and discovered the remains of undead people and animals. It seems she was already got used to see such a view and it didn’t even grossed her out, either scared. As she walks further, she notices a familiar rookie soldier resting against the wall and next to him a remains of a tentacle creature. Without hesitation this gal dials through her sound transmission device in serious and formal tone ‘‘This Leona. I found one of our soldiers. He seem to be heavy injured.’’, now she bends to check his sleep artery and continues ‘‘His pulse is weak, but he is alive. There are also lot of remains of various, from what I assume, test objects. Aside that there are only useless trash.’’.
Once she noticed an open room in front of her, she continues ‘‘Sir, there is also huge room in front of me. However, there is only scattered remains of some kind monster. Should I invest any further?’’. A less than minute passed, now Leona nods ‘‘Understood.’’ the sound transmission device signal was off. After entering inside the room, the blue-haired soldier quickly scans the room and her eye was caught by a weird looking panel. After taking a better look at it, Leona once again uses her sound transmission device ‘‘This Leona. Ralf, Clark, you need to see this. Over.’’…

A/N: And thus, this is for now. For now - See you next time!~
