Kyrie sighed as her pod opened, and asked "What the hell do you want?"

"Around X00 years. Do you often remember your dreams?"
Anthea waved at a draxan technician to run the Dream Inducer again. It wouldn't put the subject into a trace, but it'd give some subconscious imagery to what she was saying.
"Around the year 20XX, you were abducted from Earth. It is now 2XXX, Earth time. The Earth was rendered uninhabitable in a thermonuclear World War, but the Draxans, my friends here, rescued a small part of the population. Humans now live in a space colony, in coexistence with this Draxan ship The Fantasia.
You were abducted by a group of rouge Draxans. They used your body to house an experimental superweapon called a LOTUS. You will feel different, think differently, maybe even feel empowered. But I assure you that there is nothing to panic about. You were frozen for the past few centuries because the rouges called the experiment a failure. They couldn't control you. You were concealed because they couldn't remove your humanity. You are still you, no matter what you can do and what you look like. Do you remember your name?"
She spoke with an air of authority, more as to show the draxans in the room and the Captain watching over everything how to not end up with a loose canon superweapon aboard their ship. She knew that this LOTUS had a different...state of mind.

"Rude." Manhattan replied as he looked over the pod. "Heimer?"
"Agreed."

"Sutter. Ronald Sutter. We remember tests." He states, then his eyes harden and darken. "They underestimated us." he states with a foreboding tone. "Why you conceal you? We see light mask." He queries reverting to the confused pitiable tone and look.

Leaning out of the pod, Kyrie looked at the man before her. "Sorry, but I'm tired, and you're not getting to the point. I'd say, at best, we're both at fault."

"Fault for what?" Manhattan asked.

"Ah. Sorry Mr. Sutter. I just thought it might be easier waking up to a familiar face. No malicious intent."
Her hologram slowly faded away until her natural polymer peg doll look was revealed. The draxans were put slightly more on edge. They didn't know what this LOTUS could do yet.

(So that's her form. Wish we had been able to retain the data we absorbed from the test terminal. I think we saw a research file with subject resembling her.) he thinks to himself. "Better. Still hungry. Can we have more?" He says with a hint of a smile.

"Fault for being socially discourteous. Unless it's standard now to insult people and focus on everything but what's important." She looks at the Draxans and says "Like how I'm supposed to get money for food. I'm guessing these things aren't going to just give me what I want."

"Yes she will do," a mysterious man said. "Why me? I am just a normal person," Brooke tried asking in vain. "Shh you may be normal now but after we are done with you oh the many things we cwqn use you for," the man? said with a sick laughter. "Noooooooo," Brooke screamed.
Then she opened her eyes and noticed she was in her pod. "That dream again," Brooke said as she looked down at her mechanical parts. "It still haunts me to this day what those bastards did too me," Brooke said leaving her pod. "I guess I should get started," Brooke said getting her hologram projector ready. "I wonder where that lazy bum Phil is he knows we have to get ready for work, boss doesn't like it when we are late," Brooke said waiting for her partner to appear.

"It's not an insult, merely an observation." Manhattan's visor emitted a bright orange glow.

"Whatever helps you sleep at night." Kyrie rolls her eyes as she lies back down. Go figure, being frozen doesn't make people seem any less wretched.

Anthea tossed over a cookie.
"Unfortunately food is rationed and I can't afford to be giving away my whole personal supply. That should be enough to restore your regular mental faculties. Once we get you oriented we can set up the resources you require. Can you walk?"
At Kyrie's pod, a draxan in charge spoke up.
"You'll be supplied with food and money like all other citizens of the colonies. No worries. If you are feeling well we can move onto your orientation."

"Once again, rude." Manhattan spoke in a low tone as he walked away. "You speak as though you are better than others."

Groaning, Kyrie states "Sure. Better than wasting away in some crappy, metal bed." With that, she pulls herself out of the pod, ignoring the man and stumbling at first, and waits for the Draxan to lead the way.

After snarfing the cooky he stood up. "Thank you. We can walk. Where will we go?" He said sheepishly. (I don't know about the crystal guys but I think the lady can see through my ruse. Better be cautious.) he thinks to himself.

On different ships, but at rather much the same time Anthea lead Ronald and the draxan escort led Kyrie and Manhattan through a hallway of holograms that was set up to describe what happens next. They would receive a hologram projector to allow themselves into the colony looking like a normal human. They'd be given a home and all expenses would be covered for them. Their only responsibility is to reconnect with human culture as it is now. Their powers would be examined and if uncontrollable, they would provide assistance in regulating them. They would be checked on every so often, and their energy source would be replenished on the Fantasia whenever the need arises. They asked very nicely to leave the human colony's energies alone since New Earth has a delicately balanced ecosystem.

Brooke would soon smell the scent of vapor. Sitting right next to her was a robo monkey. He looked very much like the monkeys of old earth, barely able to detect that he was a robot. He had one eye that was wider than the other, acting like some sort of telescope. Right between his lips was a cigar. If anyone paid close attention, they would see small electric shops from the vapor that blew forth.
"Hey, hey, hey Brookey. We got a job for da boss. You don't wanna be late eh? I suggest you get up, and start moving those legs of yours." Phil said, climbing off the back of the pod. He crawled overhead of the pod, looking at her. "Someone had a bad dream. Nearly knocked me off the pod!" He grumbled.

"Stupid Monkey I was actually, looking for you," Brooke said towards Phil. "Wait you said you came in here when I was sleeping?" Brooke said glaring towards Phil. "How long have you been spying on me, you perv?" Brooke growled at Phil.

Phil waved his hands around lazily. "A good pervert never reveals his secrets." He attempted to smirk, which came out more as a scowl. He hopped off the pod, smiling to himself while taking out the cigar. "I was in here for about....three hours? Not like I opened ya pod or anything..." He mumbled quietly. He slowly turned around to look up at her imposing stature.
"Swear I be telling the truth. Okay, maybe one feel, but only ONE!" He quickly back pedaled in case he would get hit.
