Oho. Thanks guys, this is a really rad idea. : D
I am the frog now. Heheh. Hey, also, can somebody give me a really short recap of what's happened so far?
Or should I just go read the ten pages? (I am a lazy frog.)

( Ah, actually, How about Raven takes Victoria and Koga takes Tyler?)

Rendan looked at the mess she made, then set the fish down. She crawled back to her tree and wrapped herself around it, her back to him.removed She groaned, then started crying loudly.

[k that works
Well I've posted for Tyler and dunno what to have him do other than sit there in pain so you can go do something XD
Oh and before I post of Raven... How do they go about getting them out of the containment cells? lol]

Venus got a little irritated at that comment. Even if they were being tortured once a week, he believed that one shouldn't want to throw away live so easily no matter how bad of a past they had. That was just him though. Standing up he walked over to her, fists balled up and the flames on his wings getting slightly hotter. "I really can't believe you. You seemed pretty cheerful not long ago and now you are going on about killing yourself? I'm actually pretty glad to be alive, even if we have to go through all this crap! At least it's not every day. At least they are allowing us some sort of freedom. They could keep us locked up in cages all day, never letting us roam around. And what if they were to one day let us out of here, or we manage to find a way out? Would seriously want to die rather than having hope that you could quite possibly get out of here one day? You might not have anything to go back to, but at least you won't be dead and you can always make friends." He was starting to get a bit more irritated as he tried to find more reasons for making her want to live. He actually found it rather difficult

[Metronome]

The surgery complete, T2 was left on the table while Dr. Faust ran a diagnostic test, ensuring that there were no other faults in his system. While he waited, the doctor called down to Dr. Renard's lab.

"Hello?" Dr. Renard's voice picked up on the other end of the line.

"Dr. Renard. How long has it been since you came up to visit?"

"I've been busy, Faust. I can't drop everything to come see whatever toys you're working on. What did you need?"

"To talk about your toys, actually. TANDEM. Within the last hour, they were sent out into the dome to retrieve one subject, female. They came back with multiple injuries and damages. This isn't something I like to see in my multimillion dollar machines."

"I've already reviewed the report. The damages were fairly minor, cheap fixes. They can't be 100% perfect, Faust."

"That's where you're wrong, my friend. These machines could be perfect if you would let me go through with my plans. If anything, this recent mission shows how much they need to improve."

"Anyone can make a droid; it's their human factor that makes the TANDEM unique. Take that away, and all you have is another robot."

"Humans make mistakes, Renard. Computers don't."

"But computers need to be given every command. They have no sense of judgement. I bet you my cyborgs could outlast your droids any day of the week."

"Is that so? Do I smell a wager?"

Faust smirked as he sat back in his desk chair, kicking his foot up lightly. T2 turned his head ever so slightly to listen in. With his enhanced hearing, he could almost make out the entire conversation.

"You bet. I put my cyborgs in the dome, no weapons, no heavy armor. You put your droids in the dome, same set up. We'll see who survives three days with those rabid beasts in there."

"And what if my droids win?"

There was a pause on the other end of the line as Renard considered.
"Then you can go ahead with your surgery. You can put TANDEM into the fully automated bodies. But if I win, we begin work on a whole new line of TANDEM cyborg soldiers."

"Very well. I'll send your trash heap down there as soon as the diagnostic tests have finished."

As promised, T2 was unhooked and sent down to Dr. Renard's lab within the hour. He walked slowly, staring down miserably at the new metal plate in his chest. Dr. Faust had replaced his bone and cartilage sternum with metal and ultra grade rubber. It was more resilient, sure, but T2 didn't want any more metal on his body. He liked his skin; he liked being warm. Being able to feel things with his human flesh; softness of a blanket, coolness of a cold glass of water. That was one thing computers and machines couldn't replace.

T1 was already in Dr. Renard's lab, having his heavy outer plating removed. T1 had a slightly more artificial body than T2. His whole left arm, right forearm, everything from his waist to his knees, and his right foot were solid metal and mechanics. With the armor removed, it was clear just how damaged his body had been from whatever had killed him so many years ago. His human skin was covered in scars from multitudes of surgery and battle wounds. Patches where something had gone wrong, infection had been fought, and where the flesh never quite accepted the machine. He was watching as Dr. Renard pried off his chest plate, setting it aside to move to his arms. When T2 entered the room, ever so silently, his partner's eyes raised to meet him.

Immediately, T1 noticed the new permanent chest plate. His eyebrows scrunched together in an expression of brief sorrow, threatening to expose the existence of such emotions to his handler. His face quickly went back to blank as T2 came and sat in the work chair next to them, waiting to be next. T2's expression held glimmers of grief and worry.

[User T2 has joined the chat]

T2: I think I might be scared.

At that, T1 turned to look at him, then went back to his forward gaze.

[User T1 has joined the chat]

T1: Why?
T2: Dr. Faust might get his way soon.
T2: I do not want to be a machine.

T2's head dropped slowly, his eyes meeting the ground. T1 followed suit, looking down at his lap, at the mechanics that stared back up at him. He didn't want to be a machine either.

(( AirAngel, my form is done : 3
Also, can somebody give me a quick overview of what has happened so far?

And. Goodness, I totally forgot I was going skiing tomorrow. I'll probably be gone for three days. Sorry! ; o ; ))

[Duplicity]

[Little bit of a recap:

Basically we are seriously just starting off. The current day in RP time is for the first set of hybrids to be tested one. Not many characters have done too much so far(basically because some haven't even posted for them yet or we can't think of anything XD) The only character on the list right now that was been captured(for day 1) is Victoria, Air's character. My character Tyler has also been captured(they were both captured by TANDEM) even though he wasn't supposed to be(my idea), and he now has broken ribs(pain, yay! jk ). My character Venus and Insanity's character Rendan are having a fairly unhappy conversation. Lastly the two scientists Koga and Raven are going to see which hybrid to experiment on(fun!). That's all I know. If there's anything I may have missed, sorry. :3 ]

Rendan growled lowly. " Sooner or later, someone will come along and gain a person's complete trust, and they will allow said person to learn their fears and worries and help them bear the weight of them." Rendan stopped growling, sighing instead. " No one like that ever came along for me. They all died under the weight of my worries, or ran away and never looked back. Some might say they're my friends, but what are they really? They just use me to carry all of their own worries, not caring at all about my own fears and continuing on living their oblivious, selfish lives. And in the end, I get tossed away as a newer, better 'friend' comes along for them to trust. No one ever truly cares. All people are just selfish, egotistic idiots." She looked back at him, looking him right in the eyes. " I wanna die because I'm lonely. No one bothers to be my true friend, and all I have to talk to are the voices of the people killed 10 years ago... By me..." She dropped her gaze, looking back away from him.

Koga entered the containment cell area, looking around for the new arrivals. He saw a boy that wasn't usually called in this early. He went over to the cell, looking down at him. He seemed to be in pain. " Boy... Why are you in here? You don't seem to be on the list..."

Venus sighed and closed his eyes for a moment as he calmed down. "Look, I'm sorry about what happened, but you can't change that so you gotta get over it if you haven't already. Also, there's still people out there who might like to be your friend." He said, crouching down next to her and looking straight into her eyes. He had a blank expression on his face but one could just tell that there was some meaning behind his words(hint hint). "Maybe you just gotta open up a little more to the people you meet." He gave the slightest little smile. "Besides, we aren't all selfish, egotistic idiots." He added, meaning himself and all the other hybrids there even if she didn't know he meant that.

Tyler heard someone speaking to him and glared up at the person. He stayed quiet for a long while as he studied the older man. He then let out a sigh and dropped his gaze to the floor. "How the hell should I know? All I was tryin to do was help this girl from these "sshole cyborgs and then one of them broke my ribs, shocked me and I woke up here." He said, rather irritated, and very gently rubbed the area on his side where the ribs were broke. He winced as his touch made it hurt a little but the pain soon faded away. His eyes stayed fixed on the ground for a moment, then narrowed as he looked back up at the man. "Wait, what do you mean 'I don't seem to be on the list'? List for what? What's going on?"

{{ You are accepted, Froggi! Lovely character <3
{{ And containment cells... I mentioned some vague dimensions in the description;

When not being actively tested on but still in the testing period, the dome hybrids are often kept in strongly enforced cages made of iron that's not quite tall enough to stand in, but can be horizontally stretched out in. Particularly strong hybrids may have cages that have electrified bars.

Like, a well-lit techy looking hallway with maybe twenty cells on each hallway, each separated by a wall several feet thick, and perhaps electrified for extra measures... Hm, I may end up making them taller. This roleplay IS in rough stages right now, so I still should probably change things as I come across them :P For right now, before I fix it in the description, imagine a small cell that's about 6'-6', and seven feet tall.
Actually, I'm going to change the cells overall. Imagine the cells being mostly white, and half of the wall that separates the hybrid from the hallway is a door that, when unlocked, slides open. That wall has a small window that goes all the way horizontally across the immobile part of the wall, one foot in height. It's of some sort of unbreakable material and can be electrified if need be.

Victoria Tolhia ~ Female ~ Naturalborn ~ 64% human, 31% dragon, 5% wolf ~ Number 1

Miserable, I sagged against the wall opposite of the door. To be fair on myself, I'd never seen those cyborgs before, but still. They'd gotten me so easily that it was pathetic. I would stand and fight next time, I promised myself. Now came the new fear, the testing. It took all of my willpower to not cry at the thought of it- I was part dragon, I couldn't be caught crying like a child!
I felt so hopeless. This had been going on for so long, and it was so frustrating. Why was I too weak to fight back?! If there was a good thing to all this, it showed me how much I needed to improve. Hissing angrily, I ran my claw-tipped fingers across the wall before forcing myself to pull away- that would only dull them. I needed to keep my favorite weapons sharp.
Suddenly, there was a noise. I lifted my eyes, startled to hear a voice that sounded unsure. Then my eyes met with the speaker, and a shadow fell over them again. "Hmph," was how I simply responded, the noise full of malice.

Shika Lisle ~ Female ~ Experimental ~ 72% human, 28% deer ~ Number 2

Terror shot through my heart as I heard screaming and shrieking from far off. I'd heard those screams only once before, and I had no idea what was going on, and it scared me so badly. Was this forest haunted? I hadn't seen another sign of humans ever since I'd been dragged here. I downed the rest of the berries I'd gathered, staining my lips and tongue red, and started quickly jogging away from the sound. It was a bad sound, and I didn't like it at all.

I POSTED JUST SO I COULD EXPLAIN THAT. NOW I AM GOING TO HURRIEDLY TYPE RESPONSES FOR MY CHARACTERS. HOLD ON, MY FRIENDS!

( Meh, It's just an edited version of something I did for another rp. It fit perfectly. .3.)

Rendan stared back at him, growling a little. " Every friend I've ever had has either died a horrible death or ran away. How should I know to even trust anyone in this forsaken world?" She sighed, her tail flicking a little. She didn't break eye contact, though, keeping a blank stare as well.

Koga Serrec

Koga smiled, not a nice smile but a demonic one. " Well, lad, you see, every hybrid here has to be tested quite often. Remember that pain you felt at the first testing? It will continue happening until we finish research. Which probably won't be anytime soon. " He chuckled, a dark laugh. " Either way, we need to get that broken rib of yours treated before we do the tests..."
