Warrior Cats: The Four Clans

Henry sighed lazily, "I'm sorry Valerie. We just don't make deals. Its not a good policy." He turned from her and walked about the room again, "If I started making deals it would compromise my own goals and the goals of the splinter cell." The man turned his face back to her, "However, I will more than happy for you to submit to us. Otherwise bad things will happen." He turned his eyes back to the image on the holo-interface.
William's eyes met with it, a dark scowl on his face. He stepped up beside Dex and snarled, "You're bluffing. You wouldn't have spent all that time, money and energy building something you planned on killing anyway."
Henry's mouth pulled in to that familiar smile that William hated, "Do you want to test me boy?"
William snorted heavily, "You bet." With that he turned and marched away from the whole group. He made his way to the doors that had led in to this conference room, daring Henry to pull the trigger. Just as he reached the door, feeling quite triumphant, Henry's voice started up behind him.
"Computer, active failsafe WC-1863."
The sound of an electronic voice could be heard in the room. This one was reminiscent of Emili's but it sounded male, "Voice recognition activation passed. Activating failsafe. Subject has thirty seconds to comply before termination."
As William reached for the door he felt something horrible in his chest. At first he ignored it but after a moment it felt like a knife being driven in to his chest. Instantly the man dropped to his knees, gagging for air. His dark eyes flew open wide with fear as he grabbed his chest, praying for the horrid pain to stop. He managed to turn his body toward the group before he dropped his hands on to the floor to keep himself from fainting to the ground.
Henry's shoes made clacking sounds agains the tile floor of the room as he approached William. He leaned down and pressed a hand to the Commander's back, "Now you see son, I have to punish you if you don't obey. Do as you're told and you'll be rewarded." Every last word that man said sounded like sickly sweet poison. William gasped and gagged for air as Henry continued, "You've got five seconds." William's eyes rolled up in to his head as he dropped to the floor, his head hitting the tile harshly. As darkness filled his mind he could barely hear Henry say in a rather relaxed tone, "Computer, deactivate WC-1863 failsafe."
"Acknowledged," came the computer's reply. Within a second the pain was gone, William couldn't move. His world continued to slip in to darkness and the man didn't want to deny it. He felt the sweet cold embrace of death and wished for it to come back and take him away. Yet the only thing that lulled his mind in to the darkness was the sweet promise of unconsciousness.
"Take him to the infirmary," Henry laughed as William finally slipped away.

Henry grinned triumphantly at the young woman. He said nothing and turned about. Of course the Patriot team could rely on their medical officer, but this was not something she could handle without the proper equipment and supplies. He turned to the holo-interface and pressed a few buttons. Within moments a door on the far side of the room opened and a pretty woman stepped inside. Her long wavy clone hair fell about her shoulders and on to the standard Patriot uniform.
"Its about time you were downloaded in to your new body," Henry snickered, "Emili, would you be a dear and take Valerie and Ghost Town to the infirmary. Might as well take the whole team with you as well."
The woman approached the holo-interface, her pale blue eyes were immediately drawn to Ghost Town's prone form. The AI stepped quickly to Dex's side, ignoring any possible glares she might receive from the woman. Emili knew full well of Dex's immense dislike of technology, let alone giving it a human face. A look akin to worry spread on the AI's new face. She disliked the tone that Henry had taken. She had been raised as any sentient creature was supposed to be, minus the feelings for your caretakers that was supposed to grow during the developing stages. She felt fear for her Commander who lay unconscious before her.
Easily she grabbed Ghost Town by one arm and turned to Dex, "You take the other side. I will show you the way to the infirmary." Worry filled the AI. With the development of an actual body, emotions and feelings were beginning to flood her. She wasn't sure if she should be grateful or angry at the development. During this whole exchange Ghost Town had neither moved nor made a sound. This only helped spur on Emili's newly growing worry.

With a hesitant nod, Valerie grabbed Ghost Town's other side, wrapping an arm around him to keep him steady. Throwing a glance over her shoulder, her eyes were still wide as she looked at Henry. Biting her lip, she turned around. Looking to Emili, she gave a small, shaky smile. "Thank you," she breathed. At the moment, she felt so helpless. "Shepherd...," muttered Valerie, looking at the mentioned man. Her eyes asked him to walk and not look back. Her mind spun ideas but she doubted any of them would work. She felt helpless because they could kill her. Because technology had a human face. Because she couldn't do anything. A soft, sharp intake of breath was heard in silence. She wouldn't stop fighting. She couldn't.

Emili hurriedly led the small group of five, not including herself, out of the room and down long hallways colored pale and white. It amazed the AI as to why these fleshy humans decided to place the place of recuperation and medical attention so deep inside the building. It took a good deal of time and knowledge to even find the dang place. Anyone who was in critical condition would most likely die on the trip there. Emili just didn't understand humans.
Finally they reached their destination, the nurses and doctors all looked up in a bit of confusion as they stormed in. Immediately a kindly looking older man approached them with a female nurse who didn't look so nice. He led them to an open bed behind a thin curtain and instructed them to place Ghost Town there.
"What happened?" The doctor asked as the nurse began to take vitals.
Emili didn't hesitate in her reply, the AI part of her inhibited the 'shut up filter' altogether, "They were in a conference with the Director, Dr. Jonathan. Things didn't go quiet how the Director wanted so in order to show superior strength he activated Ghost Town's failsafe."
The doctor looked confused, "G-ghost Town?"
Emili pointed to the Commander, "He is usually called William Cassidy, or WC-1863. However, he prefers Ghost Town."
The doctor looked to the Commander, a sympathetic frown on his face, "The Director can be... Extreme when making examples of people. Your friend here needs to rest for a little while. He'll be good as new in a few days."
Emili's human face frowned. Her brows knitted together and her fists clenched, it was odd, "A few days?"
The doctor sighed softly, "It won't take him that long to get up, however it will be a while until he is at full strength again. I've studied the anatomy of the experiments that were created here to infiltrate NAGA." For a moment he fell silent. He looked away before continuing softly, "Its horrifying." He looked lost in thought before snapping back to reality, "But its what the Director wants. Your friend will be sore and tired for a while. Just give him some time and he'll be as good as new soon enough." Emili nodded at the man, it was strange actually being able to interact as a human would. She needed time to get used to this.
