1st Team Meeting

[makeadragonwannaretire]

WHO: Azula and any vault dwellers who show up.
WHERE: The Rec Room
WHEN: Three hours after her annoucement.
WHAT: Azula's "War Council" to disseminate information and introductions...also snacks.
WARNINGS: Possible discussions of violence and/or dark backstories.

Azula had attended a number of war meetings growing up as well as social affairs for meeting with important members of the public or military. This was different for a number of reasons, the largest being that this was a place no one seemed to have any respect for her title.

But she could handle that. It had taken her half a month to come to terms with it but here the title "Princess" was only as important as she made it.

Unfortunately that meant having to play "Nice" having to bite her tongue and not get frustrated when she wasn't catered to. That would have been harder for her two years ago, and impossible a year ago.

But here we were, with her waiting patiently near the entrance to the Rec Room to greet people as they came in. Oh how far she'd fallen.

"Come in, help yourself to some snacks. We'll get started soon."

"Unfortunately this sort of text is familiar to me." She says, mulling it over in her mind. 'Mutant' isn't a word that's used, but it sounds similar. "Injections aren't uncommon in experimenting on organic material where I'm from, although radiation isn't often used as a catalyst."

A testing chamber. Does that mean there's one here? Is the text relevant to this particular vault that they're trapped in? Jill is silent for a moment while she considers her next move.

"I'm not sure I'd say it's a cure. I've heard language like that, about the advancement of humankind and evolution, when it's just going to mutate and kill millions if it were in the wrong hands. Though it mentions injections, there's a chance it could still be airborne."

Sandy looks concerned at the idea that Jill is not only familiar with this sort of thing, but that she might be right.

"So...why would they be testing something so dangerous here if they wanted us to...survive and flourish or whatever?" The video had told them they were suppose to live and survive after all and having glowing monsters in the closet seemed like a big hindrance to that.

"You don't think they were gonna do that stuff to us do you?"

[torsion]

"It might be their definition of survival or flourishing is different. Or, they might be lying. I'm not saying that it's likely but from what we've seen... it's best to err on the side of caution and stick together just in case."

Jill isn't sure what to say about this. Would they do this to them? Was there even a 'they,' any more?

"I suspect this place might be abandoned based on the condition it is in. I'd expect something like either the medical area or a medical area to be more taken care of and clean. I haven't found anywhere so far that seems like it's been kept up." Were they dead? Had too much time passed? Did they simple give up? "But we're also here. Someone brought us here and seems to be doing things, right? So we should be cautious."

Sandy can't argue with that. Staying in groups for safety was one of her main survival techniques back home. Easier to run away if the rest of the group is left behind.

"If somebody is watching us or like...experimenting on us they're doing a really sloppy job at it. I mean science wasn't like my best subject in school but it feels like we've got too much freedom to be a serious experiment doesn't it?"

At least that's what she was hoping. The more she thought about it the more she convinced herself that there was no way her getting bitten by Mole-rats or the girls getting poisoned by radiation could be part of an experiment. What was it trying to prove?
