"You have the right to use your brain. What you lack is the capacity."

[Mego]

Since when was military order instated? I know my rights, and I want my lawyer!

"Your rights can and have been suspended in the case of a national security threat. Step outside."

The military men stick the 5 of you (and Honor, who follows behind Weston) into the back of the vans. The windows in the back are tinted completely black, so you can't see out.

<time skip>

The vans arrive at a military compound in the middle of the desert. You are led inside the structure, down several floors in an elevator, and into cages with thick, black bars that glow faintly blue. A man in a plain black service uniform walks in.

"So, which of you is the sparky one?"

[kj1225]

"Looks a lot like an air-base huh." Kyle says sarcastically.

[GreatWyrmGold]

"...What would make you think it was?"

[Remuthra]

National security, eh? What kind of crisis is happening then?

[kj1225]

"You were the one insisting on them being air force."

[Sirus]

"I don't 'spark'. But I'm the one you're looking for."

[Zako]

"Th' hell do you mean by sparky anyway?"

[GreatWyrmGold]

"Huh? You asked who ran Area 51."

[kj1225]

"I... I think we should hurry up and get this over with. As much as I like the sun, I'd rather not get a sunburn before getting an official place of residents in this state."

[Mego]

National security, eh? What kind of crisis is happening then?

"I don't 'spark'. But I'm the one you're looking for."

"Th' hell do you mean by sparky anyway?"

"Sparky. The magic users. They got the name because the first one we found shot lightning from his fingertips. We nicknamed him Zeus. So you're the sorcerer, eh? Weston. Yes, I know all of your names. Looked them up on the ride over. Anyway, lots of people have been popping up with magical powers. I don't mean the trivial stuff, like disembodied sounds or levitation - I mean being able to directly control the elements, imbue things with life, that sort of stuff. It's a threat to national security because some of the sparkies have decided they don't like our country, and are trying to overthrow it and take over, so they can enslave anyone who isn't magical."

"Which brings me to why you're here. I'm going to offer you the same choice that has been offered to every sparky we find: you can either join us, or be locked up in here until we find a way to strip the magic from you, neutralizing the threat. What will it be, Weston? As for your friends, they have the same choice, except declining will result in their memories being wiped and being taken back to their homes. Kind of like the Matrix."

You guys are indoors, and belowground.

[GreatWyrmGold]

"Two questions: Do you mean Earth-home, or real-home? And secondly, what are 'us'?"

[kj1225]

"Well, I guess we have a deal. Just a heads up if you fuck me, I am going to do everything in my power to fuck you back. I don't care if it results in my death, no one fucks me completely. But until I have a reason to do that I think we have a deal." Kyle then lays down on the floor and closes his eyes.

[Mego]

"Two questions: Do you mean Earth-home, or real-home? And secondly, what are 'us'?"

"I mean whatever you consider to be your home. This organization isn't limited in funds. As for exactly what we are, that's classified for now. If you want the whole explanation, you'll have to join up. Just know that we are more powerful than any single branch of the military. Your commanders won't say a word to you about your absence, because they answer to us."

[kj1225]

Without getting up or opening his eyes Kyle says, "Well that doesn't sound at all evil. Then again I'm the token evil teammate in comparison to my colleagues here so I guess I don't have much room to talk."
