Re: Ward 7
Maria came too in the tank and stayed very still for a long moment trying to learn what she could of the environment--for all she could actually hear or see anything outside the fluid filled tank. She couldn't look down and see what she had, but it felt ridiculous, and the tight walls surrounding her felt all too familiar to previous experiments.
Unlike the arena tubes however, these gave when she pressed against them, flooding fluorescent light through the cracks as she pushed the door away. Maria raised an arm over her eyes and sat up slowly. She kept the arm there as she started to take in the sterile room.
The motion of another person got her heart racing and she turned towards them, but a mind caught a hold of the instincts she hadn't quite rationalized away. No if this happened again, they cooperated.
