"Ugh..." Fu Hua groaned as her felt the bright ray of light that illuminated her room... wait what? Her eyes shot open to see herself lying on a spacious room, various devices spread across, imagery of her body being shown, she felt tired for some reasons despite trying to stay awake.

A stinging pain coming from her back, Her eyes shifted to see 2 long wire strap to both side of her neck, where a metal color or thumb size necklace as it's more appropriate to be describe hang on her neck, only now she realize that she has it and didnt even felt the cold metal wrapped around her neck.

She noted the large glass window right on the front wall that hee bed face, it showed the calm breezing blue sea and the sandy beaches, which confused her for a moment before realizing that she was back at HQ, memories still fuzzy as she tru to recollect what had happened.

But only a headache was present thus she is force to not think to much, or the pain would double itself, Fu Hua wondered why she was inside this quiet and empty room, the place seemed to be too luxurious for someone her rank to be out in, not to mention this seemed more fitting for a high ranking officer.

Not because of the decorations or the design, but of the many devices that are neatly placed across the vastly wide room, everything was place so perfect spots that seemed to make the whole room look mesmerizing despite the type of aesthetics the room had over it.

It's more fitting to say that this would be a private room met only for a Chief Scientist or any other individuals that works on the fields of science, the place was 35 meters wide seperated only by some metal walls and thick glass windows that seperated parts of the rooms into various areas, Fu Hua now wonder who's room she's in.

And exactly why she's inside said room to begin with? It's not like she held any importance, Fu Hua wish that her mind was much more clear since she's still having a hard time to recollect herself at what happened before she lost consciousness, she can't even recollect the events before her current state.

"What the heck an I wearing? And where am I anyway?" She asked herself looking at the white and black uniform with some metal plates on some parts, not to mention the strange vibrant glows of lines that flickers every so second like a gleaming star in the night sky, alongside short cylinder that carry strange liquids flowing through her clothes, and flat 4 inch wide circle humming softly while attached to her back.

It's less of a patients dress and more of an advance suit specifically designed for her... but why? Lifting herself up a bit, Fu Hua continued to check herself while noting the metal gloves with a few strange runic symbols glowing at the back of her palm, sparks of energy flowing ever so slightly, photons dance amongst each other as they flew.

*Sssshhh*

The sound of the steel door split open as Michael entered, holo-screens float around him as he process through the gathered data he had collected, before noticing Fu Hua awake and seemed awfully distracted which amused him, not noticing his presence as he spoke.

"It would seems your awake." "Eeek! Fu Hua shriek lightly in surprise a girlish scream as she flopped back on the bed, gaze rapidly facing him as cheeks grew red in embarrassment at the awfully embarrassing noise she had let out, the gloves ceasing it's function as it returns to normal.

Then realizing it was likely the doctor that entered the room, despite the strange clothing he wore, the strange flickering lights in his eyes that made it unnerving to look at him, not realizing that it was some modified eye Michael had implanted to himself years ago due to an incident in his younger years as a scientist.
