"Kiara." You force your throat to spit out your android friend's name. "People coming. Don't want to see me like this." A part of you DOES want to show your might off to them but frankly, it looks like you have rabies at the moment. Best to wind down from everything before you talk to them.
Kiara quickly nods her head. After making sure you can stand on your own, she rushes outside of the MENTAL COURSE BUILDING. That should buy you enough time to deal with whatever new powers you get and-
<span class="mu-r">Lord above. Your head is SCREAMING!</span> A pressure is building around the top of your head that, with every passing second, is building up more and more <span class="mu-r">pressure.</span> Feels like at any second, something is going to burst out of your head.
>-1 RESTRAINT, -1 FLESH. UVX AND UNMARKED VIAL ARE INTERACTING IN A WEIRD WAY. <span class="mu-b">SOMETHING WEIRD IS HAPPENING TO YOUR BODY.</span>
It takes you a moment to realize that the pain in your leg is gone. Neat. One horrid pain for another. Fair trade you suppose.
>TORN LIGMENT REPAIRED! +1 FLESH!
>FLESH: 3/4. RESTRAINT: 4/8.
"O-okay!" Your hands barely respond to your attempts to move them but you manage to force a clap. "L-let's do the focus on, Mr. Sebastian!" You manage to say that without slurring it so you feel like you achieved something today. Well, you suppose you already did a LOT today, but that's besides the point.
He proceeds to the second door inside the small lobby area you two stumbled out of without saying a single word. Okay. Yeah. You don't blame him. You force yourself to limp after him as you struggle to regain control of your body. He holds the door open and ushers you into the room before closing it behind you.
In stark contrast to the other room, this room is brightly illuminated in the sickly white glow of fluorescent tube lights. The faint buzz coming from them almost brings you some measure of peace from your body trying to handle the A-Energy it had to consume. The only object in the room is a plastic chair that seems remarkably uncomfortable to sit in. At the back, there's a reinforced airlock with a keypad next to it. Sebastian is standing right next to it, waiting for you to sit down.
With no other option, you do. Once you do, Sebastian clears his throat before addressing you with a stern look on his face. "I'll cut the showman act now. We both know that I'm nowhere near your level. Hell, no one here is. This is probably the first time one of our courses has manifested that kind of potential in someone."
"Then why-" You try to speak up but he immediately shushes you with a sharp "SHH!".
"We've done a more successful run of these tests before but it involved a mixture of P-Company, Z-Company, and C-Company chemicals and products to induce. We wanted to see if you could bring out latent potential without those things." He clicks his tongue. "But now? Well, you're a willing test subject. We'll use the data you provide to adjust our course to provide more satisfying results."
