"We are going to get started on her transformation. Remember that new project? She will be the one to get our new volunteer." Esmae looked between the two. A new project? So it's not the cyborgs? "And I trust her. She has shown us that she can be trusted, or do you not think so?" Nikona raised an eyebrow. She liked to listen to Thalia's opinions. She was the one who was around the people most. Esmae stood. "I'm ready." Being a cyborg didn't sound as bad as it used to. She would be stronger, smarter, and many more things. She looked around. She hadn't seen Cas for a while. She had gotten used to him following her around, so it was weird he wasn't here.

"I think shes ready but let's give her a simple test first then do the time mission." Thalia said. Although the younger female looked ready, it was highly doubtful that she would be ready. Running a trial test would be a better and safer option but not all would agree with her.

"Alright." Nikona stood and smiled. "I'll put you in charge of that. Do whatever you'd like. I have things to do so I'll be going first." Nikona walked away. She needed to go over the info of who would be best for this next experiment. "So.." Esmae turned towards Thalia with her arms crossed. "What is this last test?" She was curious, but she also knew it wouldn't be the same as the others. Just from the way Thalia talked about it, it seemed it was going to be a bit more difficult.

"Let's just say that your limits will be tested. You have the option to opt out right now and train some more, but if you think you're ready, we will put you in a cryo tube and have you sleep but be conscious enough to sense what is happening around you." She explained. "We can get Cassius to help conduct the test if you feel more comfortable with him."

"It would be comforting to have him here." Esmae felt unsettled. What was Thalia going to have her do? And she hasn't been put in any tube since she got here. "Think you could get him to come?" Of course she could, she was second in charge. Honestly Cas would probably come if she call ed him. "Once he gets here, I'll be ready." It sounded fun, but not at the same time. Whatever they threw at her though, she would take it, even if she lost the first time around, she would do it again until she got it done.

"I'll see what I can do. It would be in your best interest to do some warm ups and get your body ready for whatever you may be tested with."

Katya clambered into the backseat while Luna sat down in the passenger seat. She looked over at Uriah concerningly, "Are you sure you want to drive? You've been pushing yourself lately amor."

Sparrow checked her phone and sent a thumbs up emoji in response to his message. "They're on their way." She called ti the rest of the house.

"I'm fine. Thank you." With a smile he kissed her forehead before driving off. 'On our way.' It took about 15 minutes to get to Cyrus and Sparrow's house. They haven't met up really at all, so it will be nice to see them. "Are you excited to see Nathan and Vida?" He looked at Katya in the review mirror. With Esmae gone, she was probably lonely.

Katya gave a little nod, but she was more worried about how the adults were foing to react. She knew they were telling them today and she didn't want that to go wrong, "Yeah."

Luna gave Uriah a little smile and let him drive. Since he had insisted anyway.

Uriah pulled up into Sparrow and Cyrus's driveway and parked. "Well here we are." Taking the keys out, he opened the door and slowly got out. Uriah opened the back door to grab his cane. He hated using it, it made him feel old, but he needed it. His leg wasn't in good shape, and it made him feel a bit depressed. "Let's head on in."

Katya practically shot out of the car rushing up to the door eager to talk to Vida and Nathan about any last minute changes. She didn't know if there were .

Luna let out a laugh as she watched Katya before walking over to Uriah offering an arm to him. She had a soft smile on, "I can help. I know you don't like to use the cane.

Nathan heard the doorbell ring and rushed out of his seat. "Hey Katya." He smiled, opening the door and gesturing for the girl to come in.

"Nathan hun? Did they come?" Sparrow called, coming into the foyer, wiping her hands on a nearby towel. "Hello Katya, I'm assuming Uroah and Luna are right behind you." She said, lightly laughing. She intertwined her fingers and bounced in her heels.

Katya stepped inside and gave a polite grin to Sparrow, "Yep! They should be in any moment."

Uriah greatly appreciated Luna's offer. He put his cane back in the car and took Luna's arm. "Thank you, love." He smiled and walked inside. When inside he greeted Cyrus and Sparrow. "Hello, sorry we are late." He felt bad, but it was getting harder for him to move around.

Luna gave him a smile and helped him to the door. She looked to Sparrow and Cyrus, "It's been rough to say the least."

It had been a few weeks since the dinner party. Well, if you wanted to call it that. It had turned out to be a disaster. The kids had revealed what they actually went to di and the adults were furious that they went to the old guild to snoop. While being punished would have been the first thing in mind, the adults took the video tapes that Caleb brought and the book of notes they showed. Sparrow and Cyrus didnt get a chance to reveal their surprise either.

A few days passed and the gang realized that in order for them to get anywhere, they needed to do things they way they used to a couple years ago. The old guild was quickly cleaned up and a couple willing ex-members came back to help. At this exact point in time, the four were in the now mapping room, trying to find a connection between the Dark Gemini Corporation, their families, and Esmae's kidnapping.

"Honestly, I swear to god all these dead ends will turn me into an old lady before my time!" Sparrow groaned, falling into her arms. A small pile of papers were spread I front of her. Pictures and tine points marked down who or what entered or left the DGC. "I guess you dont need to worry about that then Grandma Sparrow." Ashley, a young recruit teased. Sparrow glared at her playfully. "Watch it, or you'll be on cleaning duty for the next month." She winked.

Esmae was surprised everytime she looked in the mirror. Being a cyborg was something she never expected to be. If you told her younger self that this would happen, she would've laughed in your face. In her closest sat a Dark Gemini cloak. Her first mission was coming up. Esmae was a bit nervous since she hadn't been on a mission in years Nikona was going to have a meeting with her today with Thalia to talk about the mission. A knock came from the door and she knew it was time. She put on her cloak and walked down the halls to Nikona's office. Her new mechanic parts made her feel weird, but she was definitely faster and stronger than the average person. Knocking on the door she waited for permission to enter.
