"Are all preparations made for X-09?" One bespectacled man in a white coat says to his colleague, a thin woman who wears the same attire as him. The lab coat wearing duo are Edgar King and Maria Kovac. They are the head researchers for X-09, the most promising and longest surviving group of child soldiers Facility 51. The facility is an underground complex and is completely invisible from the public eye, save for a few people of high position. It's populace is many researchers, heavily armed and elite guard squads even with Swigs in their ranks and the main body of focus: children ranging from infants to 18 years of age being trained to become super soldiers. Those collected ar a young age are conditioned to follow orders and nothing else, to assure their obedience without question. At the ages of ten, those that are not born as Freaks are induced to becoming Swigs, the ones that survive the process are trained the the remainder of their time understanding and using their powers, military skills and tactics and team efforts. Nobody truly knows who is running the program from the back nor what funded it in the first place, but it is guaranteed that using children as a catalyst for a biological killing machine does not have good intentions.
X-09 were one of ten groups of test subjects from the beginning of the program and unfortunately, the only surviving of the original fodder. The rest of the groups either died during Swig inducement, bodies couldn't take the excess stress and collapse into death or they became volatile. Those that were volatile disobeyed orders and somehow developed autonomy, most reasons point to the researchers and even some guards getting too close and developing bonds with the subjects which made them careless in what they are influencing to the children, though other reasons are suspected. The results are catastrophic. Rebelling that ends in murdering staff and other subjects, attempted escape and being put down or suicide. While X-09 lost two subjects during the program, they have reached teenage years and almost ready to be put into the field for their first mission. Unknown to the staff most of the members are developing or already became autonomous, but they have been careful to hide this lest they fall into the same fate as the other groups...
"All preparations are made and standing by the activate the simulation." Marie speaks as she taps keys on her computer terminal rapidly but with precision. X-09 have been placed into the simulation room for their final set of tests. Here the room shall be transformed into an environment, could range from a vast urban city to a thick and populated jungle. It also mimics the senses from the chosen environment: sounds, smells etc. to give a realistic feel. Drones, traps and turrets are placed in the simulation too as hazards for the group to overcome, failure results in severe injury or even death. Organic materials are used especially for this group, due to two Swigs powers relying on natural substances to operate their powers. Today's test is a mission simulation: search and destroy all targets and hostiles without being discovered. The tests are to build teamwork and discover which subjects are better of the two: location or elimination. The best results would be that they're equally exceptional in both.
"Okay. Activate simulation test 42." Edgar orders as he watches the monitors projecting views from all sides of the simulation, both located inside a protective room that is invisible to those inside the simulation room. Marie nods and hits a single key on her monitor, the room reacts instantly and structures are created within seconds, the ground transforms into hard concrete and a cloudy blue sky is projected high above, an empty, majestic city of tall buildings has replaced the dull and plain grey room. Another key is pressed and turrets are raised from multiple floors and walls, hidden behind and inside the buildings while Drones are activated and begin following specific routes in duos, trios and squads in military formation and discipline, armed with firearms of all shapes and sizes.
Edgar frowns as she watches one subject barely react to any of the changes or prepare herself for the test, she never reacts at all. Although GEO-583 is the most successful result in conditioning where she shows no free thought or resistance, it is annoying how she possesses absolutely no intuition. She has the sense to act on instinct with defending herself, sleep and feed as long as she has permission, but she needs to be told to do in any other task. But then, he remembers this is a good thing. She is a Geokinetic, Tier two. She is one of the few subjects capable of collapsing the entire underground facility into ruin with a well focused thought. If she had free thought and wanted to rebel, the results would be devastating.. "Order the mindless broad to prepare." He says to Marie, the annoyance in his voice in clear. She frowns at his words. He, like many other staff, are especially harsh verbally towards GEO, thinking she is of low intelligence or a walking shell. Tests she has done with her as one on one if given enough patience shows she is actually very smart in many ways. She is capable of advanced maths, several topics of science and an exceptional player in chess, which Marie has noticed small slithers of enjoyment when they play together. Although she has not learnt to speak any language, she can read very well and understands English on average of a regular, well educated person. Sadly, this means she understands every insult directed towards that people say in her presence. It isn't professional, but Marie has grown a fondness to her. She is very careful to show it however, never giving her a real name or showing any signs of open favouritism. It is in a more subtle manner such as being there in most of her tests, allowing longer periods of time together and having more patience than most would give GEO.
"GEO-583. Would you kindly prepare yourself for the upcoming tests and be ready to follow the next set of orders." Marie speaks into a small microphone beside her monitor, linked straight to an earpiece worn by GEO. Would you kindly, her trigger word. This must be included into her orders so she obeys. This is a precaution so she won't follow any given to the opposition or rogue subjects. It is also to protect her from cruel jokes, she has witnessed on a few occasions where the more disobedient subjects try to abuse her conditioning such as ordering her to 'strip naked', 'trap yourself in a formation of rock' or just a simple 'go fuck yourself'. She watches GEO respond instantly to the command.

GEO stands idly as the gigantic room begins to form into a huge city of metal, concrete and earth. She looks around slightly at the structures, her powers give her a sixth sense where she can 'feel' natural substances in the first objects she looks at. To her, it is like when somebody feels their eyes drawn towards something. She just stands awkwardly as she watches the others ready themselves. She wonders if they are told to do so, like her? Their movements seem to be without prompt, on their own thoughts. It makes her curious, are they not well disciplined like her? That doesn't sound like a good thing... That sounds like chaos, she hopes they do not end up the same as the other two that used to be with them but... they disappeared after they thought about stuff too much... GEO perks up at the sound of a voice buzzing in her ear. She recognises it as Marie! GEO likes Marie. She is really nice to her, she doesn't say mean things when she takes her time to understand something and they play chess a lot together. If she knew how to say words, she would call Marie something nice that reflects her supportive nature... Like Mother, Mother suits her well. Following her words, GEO focuses some of her mind on the rings on her arms and wrists, ankles and thighs and finally, stomach and chest. Her feet no longer touch the ground, levitating a foot from as the rings very gently lift her into the air. She used to find this uncomfortable on her fragile body, but now finds it cushion-y when they put padding inside her clothes.
She waits expectantly for the next set of commands, just like Mother told her to.
