The letter sat on the office desk, folded up after having been read.

Hello there, Mr. Uzaki, it has come to my attention that you are someone who is spiritually aware. Well I have a particular need for those who are spiritually aware, as test subjects for help developing weapons to help combat those that come from hell. I believe they're called Akki by you lot. Either way I can assure you that all tests are safe and I would only take a week of your time. For payment I can offer roughly one hundred thousand ryo. If that isn't tempting enough I'm sure we can always work something out possibly even prototypes of the weapons we are creating. If you wish to accept my offer please send back the reply card with prepaid postage.

This intrigued the Fullbringer CEO. Marcus had recently come back from Australia where Hell beings had plagued the continent. Kazura also remembered the time Hell invaded Karakura town... That had also been a frightening time. If there was someone working on devices to fight back against Hell, Kazura wanted to be involved. Plus, working with spiritually aware scientists or at least spiritually minded scientists could work in his favor. He had recently invented solid reiatsu generators and a plasma gun, but that was small stuff compared to the sort of technology he could imagine. He just had to find a way to perfect it.

And he would start with heading to the Arctic to see this Dr. Herbert West. In his lab, he formed the ritual seal on the floor that would be used to bind items to his skin in the form of tattoos. That way he could bring in some weapons to the lab without having to be burdened down by them on the plane. He bound a full suit of armor (Helm MKIII, Suit MKIV, Gauntlets MKIV, Boots MKI, and Air Cannons MKIII) into a winding tattoo of a serpentine dragon from his elbow to his wrist. He bound a UE1 Handgun and a UE2 Handgun each equipped with a magazine of Exploding Bullets into twin tattoos of bullet shells on his left and right index fingers. On his right hand ring finger he bound his Spiritual Handcuffs MK I in the tattoo of a steel ring. And lastly, he bound his sword Raurhak to his right palm as a tattoo of a wrench.

Now he was ready to head to the Arctic.

{Items}

Item Name: Boots MK I
Item Rank: E
Item Type: Movement
Item Description:For when the 3D movement equipment in the Belt isn't enough, that's where the boots come in. These steel toed boots have vents built into the souls of the heel, and have shallow grooves to ensure that air can always get to the vents. These vents are much more controlled than the air cannons. They have two functions. The first is for fast movement. By expending three portions of air, Kazura can propel himself, or a single limb, at 200 stat speed for a maximum of twenty feet. The second function is for hovering. By consuming two portions of air per post, Kazura can hover in mid air. this model of the boots regains one portion per post, and can hold six portions at a time. Kazura enters a thread with full air storage.



Item Name: UE1 Handgun
Item Rank: C
Item Type: Weapon
Item Description: This fashionable weapon is made out of stainless steel and coated with a protective resin. Self proclaimed the best handgun in its class for its price, it boasts a penetrating strength of 300 and a bullet velocity of 600. It equips basic handgun ammo that can be purchased in any human world store, and it built for versatility. The magazine is well oiled to slide out easily and without trouble but is also manufactured to not easily disengage on its own. The front of the barrel is equipped with a slot for optional attachments, which are sold separately. It can hold ten bullets per magazine.
Price: 5,000


Item Name: UE2 Handgun
Item Rank: B
Item Type: Weapon
Item Description: This weapon builds on the functionability of the UE1 model and adds combat power. The attachment slot is still present as in the other model, which allows it to maintain its claim of being a highly versatile weapon for both law enforcement and private use. The UE2 has a penetrating strength of just 200, but it has a bullet velocity of 650 speed. The magazine holds twelve bullets, an even set of three. This increase in magazine size is important due to the handgun's ability to fire in a burst setting. One pull of the trigger will fire three bullets in quick succession. It can be turned from burst to semi-auto firing with a selector on the side.
Price: 7,500

Item Name: Explosive Bullet x22
Item Rank: D
Item Type: Ammo
Item Description: This bullet is lined with a small center of explosives. Upon impact, the small bullet will explode, causing a small amount of shrapnel and a small amount of heat. The bullet is capable of blasting a three inch hole into concrete, and a slightly bigger hole into flesh. This bullet cannot accept spiritual energy, or it will burst inside the weapon.
Price: 100 per bullet


Item Name: Suit MK IV
Item Rank: B
Item Type: Armor
Item Description:
This Suit maintains the same physical defense as before, being able to withstand and absorb 150 strength before the impact is felt by the wearer.

This Suit has an extra ability. For up to two consecutive posts at a time, the wearer can mentally activate the cameras and projectors hidden and armored along the suit. If he is not wearing anything over the suit, then the cameras and projectors will pick up the environment around him and then adjust the image they project accordingly. As a result, the suit camouflages into any environment, effectively becoming invisible. It updates in real time too, so something moving behind him won't throw off the effect. However, it has some drawbacks. First, any electrical current that runs into him will short circuit the cameras for four posts, negating his invisibility until they recover. Also, any reiatsu attack that hits him does the same thing. It requires 25 reiatsu per post to stay invisible. Once the invisibility has been used up or turned off, it needs to recover for a whole post of not using it.
Price: 20,000


Item Name: Helm MK III
Item Rank: B
Item Type: Armor
Item Description:
The typical mask of a vigilante, this mask is made to appear like Batman’s mask, though it has a mentally deployable gas mask. This helm has an extra ability. For up to two consecutive posts at a time, the wearer can mentally activate the cameras and projectors hidden and armored along the helm. If he is not wearing anything over the helm, then the cameras and projectors will pick up the environment around him and then adjust the image they project accordingly. As a result, the helm camouflages into any environment, effectively becoming invisible. It updates in real time too, so something moving behind him won't throw off the effect. However, it has some drawbacks. First, any electrical current that runs into him will short circuit the cameras for four posts, negating his invisibility until they recover. Also, any reiatsu attack that hits him does the same thing. It costs 25 reiatsu per post to power this invisibility. Once the invisibility has been used up or turned off, it needs to recover for a whole post of not using it. The eyes are always visible, even when the camouflage mode is turned on.
Price: 10,000




Item Name: Gauntlets MK IV
Item Rank: C
Item Type: Weapon
Item Description: A simple pair of black gauntlets, these gloves have metal tips and a small port in the back. When the wearer wills, those tips cause red plasma claws to emerge. These claws have the natural ability to carve through most non-spiritual material easily, having to work harder to push through metal and other similarly dense materials, just as the Plasma blades from Urahara's Shop can. For the cost of 50 reiatsu per post, the user can pour reiatsu into the blades through the access port, giving the claws spiritual cutting power equal to an offensive stat of 200. The port on the back has a dual nature. It feeds both into the Air Cannons and the Gauntlets.
Price: 10,000


Item Name: Air Cannons Mk III
Item Rank: C
Item Type: Weapon
Item Description:This air cannon expands upon the ability to create blasts of air by building up air pressure. Using the limited knowledge of matter compression that he has, the storage capacity of the cannons has increased to six portions. The added compression of air pressure has also increased the potency of the cannons to 150 strength. Additionally, compressing the air further can result in a "combined shot" By charging for a post, up to 3 shots can be released at one time, adding their strengths together for a maximum of 450 strength. The user can enter a thread with full air. For a cost of 25 reiatsu per shot, the user can pour their energy into the access slot, allowing these air shots to hit spiritual targets.
Cost to Build: 10000


Item Name: (Raurhak)

Item Type:: (Weapon - Sword)

Item Rank: (A)

Creation Skills: (Swords at 3)

Item Description: (Raurhak is unusual sword. It appears to be a standard longsword, with total length of one hundred and twenty centimeters from pommel to tip and length of the blade being exactly one meter. Hilt and guard are golden, while the blade of the sword is actually pitch black. What is special about Raurhak are its properties. It is a rather special sword. Its edge is so sharp and so thin that it it appears to be semi transparent for a whole inch. The edge of Raurhak is specially designed to be incredibly thin so it can cut between spiriton or atom bonds. Therefore, such sharpness allows something special. It allows Raurhak to cut into those bonds and by doing so, ignore certain defenses. Namely, Raurhak bypasses cutback and flex defenses. It simply will act as if they are not present. However, it has no additional effect against anything else, and has one weakness. Against layer defenses, including but not limited to Hierro and Blut, it has 25% less cutting power.)



Item Name: Spiritual Handcuffs MK I
Item Rank: B
Item Type: Weapon
Item Description: This ordinary looking set of handcuffs is made up of barely spiritual metal, and inside is a vacuum fan as well as an inequality in reiatsu. This functions much like the reiatsu batteries, but for a much different purpose. The smaller size of the storage area means that no reiatsu is actually lost when a spiritual being has been locked by them, however it does resonate with their own reiatsu strength and turns it against them. This model is capable of reaching a Reiatsu Strength of 150, like the Reiatsu Battery MK I. If the victim has superior RS than 200 by any margin, then they are easily able to break out. If not, then they must rely on physical force or skill to escape the lock, requiring superior strength to the reiatsu strength of the cuffs.
Price: 7500

[Vesta Zweig]

Hello there Ms. Zweig, it has come to my attention that you are someone who is spiritually aware. Well I have a particular need for those who are spiritually aware, as test subjects for help developing weapons to help combat those that come from hell. I believe they're called Akki by you lot. Either way I can assure you that all tests are safe and I would only take a week of your time. For payment I can offer roughly one hundred thousand ryo. If that isn't tempting enough I'm sure we can always work something out possibly even prototypes of the weapons we are creating. If you wish to accept my offer please send back the reply card with prepaid postage.

This is the letter that she was greeted with when she came home from school today. Once she arrived home, her father gave it to her. He didn't ask any questions about it because he had assumed that it had to be something for work. It wasn't until she opened it and her face had the look of surprise on it did he even ask what was wrong. She continued reading the note, eyes widening slightly when the word Akki appeared. She lowered the note and her father grabbed it to read.

He read it slowly, making sure he understands every word, while she thinks on it. This person wants to develop weapons for the things that come from hell. For the demons there.....for her mother... It was the first thing she thought of when it was brought up. But also, she was half demon. Would these weapons be turned on her too? Even though she didn't come from hell, her mother was an Akki herself. Would that taint mean that they would come after her?

Her father immediately went over to her and said that this could possibly be a bad idea. The only way he thought that this might be a good thing is if this could be considered maybe a scouting mission. She could go and see what they were actually doing there and if they ever came after her, she would know what she was up against. It was a longshot, but it was something. She then thought on her job and what they actually did.

Maybe with the info from this place, she might be able to turn it around and give it to her company? But just the talk of hell has her curious and afraid at the same time. She's afraid they might do something to her, but this could give her a chance to learn a little bit about the mother she never knew. It was probably the only chance that she would get to learn anything about Hell without going there.

They started to debate this topic for what seemed like a half hour and there was an agreement made. She sent back the reply card. He would let the school know what was going on, keeping it as mundane as possible), if she promised to keep in as informed as she possibly could. If things got too bad, she would immediately run and head to safety. She had been doing well in missions and the fact that other people would be there made him feel slightly better. Going to pack, she would come back down the stairs and hug/kiss her father. She reminded him that she would leave the house sometime and this was just a good stepping stone.

He prayed a quick prayer to keep her safe, which was weird for her since she had never heard him pray before, before he wished her luck and safety. With that, she opened the door and waited. She was ready to go to the Artic.

[Valentin Acciai]

There it was, a letter like so many others that the spiritually aware human by the name of Luke had casually thrown into the trash bin. Among penis enlargement pill ads and the weekly food sales folded in newspapers this one letter of import had gotten mixed in, now, why was the Adjuchas by the name of Valentin going through the human's trash? simple! he had made a friend of the man and had begun occasionally squatting in his apartment without permission ever since he found out about the place. He payed his dues though even if the human didn't want him there taking care of tasks such as dishes and cleaning, place was a proper mess before he intervened! good thing he was a perfectionist.

Hello there Mr. Clyburn Dr. Valentin Acciai it has come to my attention that you are someone who is spiritually aware. Well I have a particular need for those who are spiritually aware, as test subjects for help developing weapons to help combat those that come from hell. I believe they're called Akki by you lot. Either way I can assure you that all tests are safe and I would only take a week of your time. For payment I can offer roughly one hundred thousand ryo. If that isn't tempting enough I'm sure we can always work something out possibly even prototypes of the weapons we are creating. If you wish to accept my offer please send back the reply card with prepaid postage.

Now, Valentin had no idea what an Akki actually was but regardless, since Luke apparently wasn't interested in the letter he went ahead and crossed his name out with a marker, instead scribbling his own name into what remained of the slot with the important distinction of DOCTOR Valentin, sure while he was never much more than a mere medic when he died he found a certain liking to the art even in death and despite ample time to hone his craft a spirit simply couldn't earn a doctorate, even less so for a hollow like himself. After finishing the letter it took him a few hours of borrowing Luke's shitty computer to learn how to actually send letters in the modern day but he did manage to work it out in the end and had it mailed.

Now, what would he bring along for his field trip among fellow respectable men of science? first of all, lunchboxes! the flesh of deceased hollow that had been preserved in a substance that slowed the dissolvement of dead spiritual beings. It tasted absolutely disgusting and Valentin abhorred the idea of consuming it but in case the hunger got unbearable he'd just have to swallow and cough a little. Bringing what was essentially a traveler's backpack in size half of it was occupied by a pillar of lunchboxes while the rest of the space was crammed full of medical tools and appliances that had mysteriously gone missing from the Karakura Hospital including scalpels, bandages, stethoscope, pure alcohol, scissors, thread, pliers, a defibrillator unit, some good old chloroform and a rag, penicillin, surgical head lights and more medical baubles he wasn't even sure of the name of.

But there was still one glaring problem, Valentin was a hollow, even if he claimed he was there to help who would trust a monster with fangs reminiscent of a shark stuck in a perpetual grin? no one that's who! so he made up a plan, he was going to the arctic right? sounds like a chilly place doesn't it? a quick trip with a garganta to Greenland he stole a particularly long innuit's apparel at six feet of thick furs, got dressed and tucked his long tail around his waist and from there with another garganta stole a much easier to find thermal winter face mask as well as a pair of tinted skii glasses to cover then entirety of his face. Lastly he got himself a notebook and pen, non-spiritually aware humans might be able to see him with all of the clothes he wore but that didn't mean they could hear him.

The plan was foolproof! (not really, no) and with that he was now ready to go to the arctic.

[Kiera Bright]

Hello there Dr. Bright, it has come to my attention that you are someone who is spiritually aware. Well I have a particular need for those who are spiritually aware, as test subjects for help developing weapons to help combat those that come from hell. I believe they're called Akki by you lot. Either way I can assure you that all tests are safe and I would only take a week of your time. For payment I can offer roughly one hundred thousand ryo.

For once, Keira was not angered by the presence of another letter wirten by someone who had found out about her existence. Keira read the letter again and again making sure that her eyes were not playing tricks on her. She was nearly drooling. She sipped her coffee with an ever widening smile across her face. Finally, I can procure some more research material, she thought slamming the paper down on her desk. She turned to the data that she had collected from an Hanson that she had acquired. She had some data on hell beings already, but there seems to be yet another race that originates from the pit of the damned. That alone nearly made the offer too good to pass up for Keira Bright, but the further monetary promise, and equipment were the icing and sprinkles on this delicious cake.  

Keira took very little with her, as she packed. she of course took the essentials, food, water, coffee, and a heavy arctic jacket. She had some other supplies to collect data, and of course her trusty multi purpose phone. She also took her slealth cloak, and her Ossein Guantlets just in case. She strode out of her lab with a putting on her white lab coat in one smooth motion. Her reiatsu arms would provide her with the necessary travel north. Before she departed her asylum, she downloaded any information on Doctor Herbert West storing it on her phone. She would need some reading material on the way there. She wanted to know everything she could about this scientist in advance. She distrusted other scientists above all else, and wanted to be prepared for anything.

{Items}Item Name: Ossein Guantlets
Item Type: Armor
Item Rank: B
Item Description: This item is made from the bone of a powerful reiatsu creature that once attack the Japanese city of Osaka. The bone is very potent having a durability of 500. Although more powerful than the typical metal that one can find this bone possesses a much more important ability. The bone that this item is made from is able to repair itself from any sort of damage by absorbing both reiatsu and blood. Fractures require the least amount of reiastu to repair at a meager 50 along with a few droplets of blood. If the item is broken apart, but at least half still remains completely intact than it requires 125 reiatsu and 3 ounces of blood. Finally when the item is almost completely destroyed to the point of only fragments remaining than it requires 300 reiatsu and 10 ounces of blood to reform back into its complete form within a few moments.

Stealth Cloak

[Samael Moreira]

With everyone accepting the letters sending back the request they would all one way or another find themselves in the same airport in the arctic. The arctic airport it's self seemed rather empty, only serving as a station for people to land and take off. Yet as they all arrived one after another they would find no one there to greet them. Kazura using his own plane would have arrived first and would be waiting the longest, the only other souls in the place was the air traffic controller and a few ground crew to help land some planes. One after another the other invited guests would find themselves there simply waiting.

The moment the last person arrived the doors to the outside bursted open and several men holding strange guns and body armor rushed inwards. Their weapons weren't pointed at anyone, but still held ready and waiting. An old man with a kind face would slowly walk into the airport, he was wearing a butler's outfit and held a smile across his face. “Ah yes, hello everyone.” He coughed for a moment pulling out a handkerchief to cough into. “My name is Jarvi, I am here to guide you all to the lab with the help of these fine gentlemen. Sadly Dr. West will not be able to meet you till you all arrive, please hurry I don't want to be out here when the sun starts to set, gets rather chilly.”

With that said Jarvis would motion to a large van that waited for them. The van it's self seemed to be built for both comfort and battle. Boosting heavy plated sides and bullet proof windows while the interior was made to replicate a limo. Neither Jarvis nor the men would wait long for the others to get in. It was a rushed situation and Jarvis if asked anything while they rode he would simply say that they had to wait till they arrived before he could say anything else. The ride would take a few hours and Jarvis would sit in silence, they would be driven out to the middle of nowhere and just as it seemed as they would be brought here just to be killed in the white wasteland they could see a small research station in the background.

As they arrived the men would rush everyone out of the van and into the building. Jarvis simply holding a soft smile across his face as they entered. Inside they would see more guards all holding the same weapons and a stern faced man stood behind what appeared to be a metal scanner. The man allowed Jarvis to pass through before speaking. “All right you lot, you can call me Hal, my job is to keep this place safe so each of you will be forced to strip off your clothing and remove all items on your person placing them into these bins. We will have new clothing for you all.” Hal motioned towards the clear bins nearby. “You will each approach one after another stating your race so we can deal with your powers and don't try to hide anything we will find it.” He looked over at Kazura as he said that, almost as if he knew that the fullbringer's preference for items. The person waiting by the scanner would be watching a monitor waiting for each person to walk through after removing their items.

(OOC: I will do a post after each of you for the interaction between Hal and the scanner for you all. They will be small posts and quick)

[Kazura Uzaki]

Kazura waited for far too long in that cramped little airport with nothing really to do. His mind ever racing and with idle time on his hands caused him to pace around the airport looking for something to take apart and put back together better. He found a few malfunctioning computers and fixed those much to the pleasure of the airport staff. He also fixed the P.A. system to not sound so garbled when they spoke through it. It had been simple enough to fix with his talent for crafting and both the computers and the announcement system worked far better than they had previously. Or ever, in fact. He hadn't used his spiritual abilities to do anything, he just took some time to explore the workings of the computers and speakers and improve upon them in his idle time.

As the rest of the invitees trickled in through various means, Kazura was surprised to see Vesta had come as well. It was only natural, given she was spiritually aware to have received a letter, but he wondered what it meant to her personally to be here. For Kazura, it was about the research opportunities. What was her purpose for being here. As she walked off the plane, he was there to greet her on the runway. "Ah, Vesta! Nice of you to join me up here. If I had known you were coming you could have come with me on the private jet instead of that cramped plane. But oh well, the past is in the past. What brings you up here?" Straight forward and to the point, Kazura was trying to be lighthearted instead of intimidating like he usually came across as.

When Valentin arrived, Kazura was immediately on guard. A Hollow, here? He was surprised and ready to fight, but Valentin didn't usually attack humans, so he probably wouldn't attack anybody in the airport and try to eat their souls. Extremely wary, Kazura chose to wait and see what this Hollow was doing before making any rash decisions. After all, they were far too out of the way for Wolf to come and purify this Hollow and he had lost touch with Katrina and was unable to contact the Soul Society directly. He was unaware that this Hollow was the one that had been a thorn in Uzaki Enterprises' side for a few months now and had come in contact with multiple of his employees. He was unaware, for now, that is.

When the armed men burst through the door, Kazura was even more on the alert. These looked like professionals, and their body armour was no joke. This was something incredibly serious, and the fullbringer was ready to fight at a moment's notice. The past few years had not been kind to him, what with multiple Shinigami attacks on himself, an Arrancar attack on his organization, and Hell itself invading Karakura town, the man had grown distrustful at times. He definitely didn't trust these men with guns any more than he could trust Valentin or Keira not knowing anything about them. Sticking close to Vesta, Kazura followed Jarvis without a word, just keeping his physical senses and energy sensory on full alert. Nothing of note appeared to be out of the ordinary, though, as they arrived to the small research station.

When told to strip down, Kazura was a bit embarrassed. There were women there, one of which was one of his employees. But he did as he was told, stripping down to his undergarments and pushing back a little if they asked him to strip any farther. After all, it was frigid outside and he was not about to get naked in front of Vesta and Keira. Sure, he was confident in his body, but this went too far. He removed his belt that was his Primary fullbring and handed it in while preparing for the scanner he was going to attempt to fool. "Kazura Uzaki, Fullbringer. I cannot cut off my right arm and give it to you, but I'm sure you have other ways of disabling my fullbrings." Hopefully the tattoos that held his precious items would pass through the scanner no problem. If not, well, he'd probably be kicked out to the curb or forced to give up a large portion of his best equipment. He wasn't sure which he would prefer...

[Deleted]

As Kazura walked through the scanners an alarm went off, all of the guards turned their guns at Kazura and waited to hear what Hal would say. Before doing anything he turned to the guard at the computer to see what they would say. It was possible that due to the fullbring being his arm that the machine was acting off, but there could also be another possibility. It was something else, Hal walked over to see what the monitor had picked up. Because of all the seals on Kazura's right arm it glowed brightly and was acting like a source of energy to them. “Hmmm John, Kyle go grab the dimensional band and put it on his right arm.” Two of the guards would simply walk away from the area and return a few moments later with a strange metallic band.



Both guards would approach Kazura wrapping the band around his right arm near the elbow. “Hey move it higher up, I want it to go past those tattoos.” Following orders the men would place the band right below his shoulder as it locked into place Kazura's arm would vanish from his body. There would be no pain, no blood, nothing. Kazura funny enough could still feel his arm but wouldn't be able to move it. “Don't worry, the band acts as a semi portal that allows a person to transfer one item to our storage facility. Normally we use it to take apart hollows making it easier to transport them. Don't go messing with it though, it's not exactly stable and if you tinker with it you could cut off your arm for real. Now get changed and stand in line for your shot.”

[Kiera Bright]

Keira had arrived fairly quickly to the tinny air port. Once she arrived, she instantly recognized Kazura Uzaki. They had not met, but Keira made it a point to know major players when it came to spiritual activities. She also recognized the name from when one of his stooges attempted to forcefully relocate her. What was that mod soul's name? Keira shook her head. It was irreverent. A half smile slowly spread across her face. Maybe this was an opportunity to pick more than one brain. She senses someone else coming, and a girl approached the man. She could hear a bit of their conversation, and concluded that she was another employee. Great, a third wheel situation. Finally a hollow of all things decided to join them. Well hunch her over and call her Igor, it was Valentine. She had met him once before in a...unique interview.

After they all entered the Airport, armed men came through the front door. They had weapons and armor ready but not trained at the quartet, so at least they were not immediately hostile. They were loaded up quite rudely in fact into a van and transported to the lab. Keira pulled out a bag of potato chips and started tossing them into her mouth. She studied the weapons and armor on the men around her trying to gain what she could from them just by visual observation. Once the bag was emptied, she would just toss it to the floor with little regard. She didn't like being crowded like this. She could transport herself just fine, but she guessed that they did not know that. 

They made it to the facility and were told to strip and hand over all clothes and items. Keira understood perfectly well why they were doing this. They wouldn't want to let someone sneak something in that would leak information or damage the lab in any way, but that still did not mean that Keira liked it. Kazura was the first to attempt the scanner and it went off picking up something about his right arm. Apparently it sent his arm to another location. It must be an odd feeling. Note to self, inquire further. Apparently he was passed through and told to wait for a shot. Yeah that isn't happening. Keira decided it was her turn to go through. 

She already had an idea about what would happen. First the thing would go off, and everyone points their weapon at her, then they might need to clean someone off the wall depending on her mood. She will see about that. "Lets get some things clear Hal 9000," she said taking off her coats. "If I find anything missing I will kill you all myself." Her tone was not outright threatening, but promising that she would go through with her threat. She walked confidently through the scanner. "Dr. Keira Bright, Fullbringer Abnormality." She preferred using that phrase more than "Failure" if that even was a proper term for her. "Oh, and better not stick we with anything if you don't want everyone to catch a sudden case of explosions, just a friendly warning." She said in a teasing tone undermining the true gravity of the consequences. One could say that she was purposely making things harder than needed to, and they would be right. She watched intently on the guards waiting for the guns to point, she would not hesitate to act once she sees them move. 

[Deleted]

From the start of the trip Hal had already known what Keira was, while he himself wasn't spirtually aware it wasn't hard to tell when there was a failure in front of him . After all she wasn't the first nor the last one he was expecting to see. Still her rude attitude wouldn't fly here, at least not after they had taken care of her rather explosive side. While she removed her things Hal made it a note to toss in the empty bag of potato chips into her stuff. “Like you said don't want to be missing anything.”

After her comment about going boom and being a fullbringer Abnormality Hal spoke again. “Just step into the scanner failure, we have a special way of making sure you don't go boom, but you might wish that you would have and the toliet will be to the right of the hall after getting past the sleeping quarters.” He said with a soft chuckle as she passed through the scanner. The scanner would read off her high level of reiatsu given what she was, but that was acceptable given what she was, she would be there waiting with Kazura who still hand't gotten his shot. “You with the red hair next.”

[Vesta Zweig]

Vesta didn't really enjoy the plane ride, since she was used to flying on bigger planes than this. But, beggars can't be choosers and they at least got her here, so that was something. Once the plane landed, she quickly got out and stretched her legs a bit. It was then that she heard her name and turned to see who she would actually know here in the Artic. Maybe it was the person that had sent her the letter? It's the only person she could think of that would know her here.

She was surprised when she found out that it was Kazura. What the heck was Kazura doing here?! Did he want to learn more about Hell too, or was he more concerned with the weaponry that was mentioned in the letter? It didn't really matter to her, it was just nice to actually have someone here that she knows. She starts to wander towards him when he actually starts walking over towards her. "Ah, Vesta! Nice of you to join me up here. If I had known you were coming you could have come with me on the private jet instead of that cramped plane. But oh well, the past is in the past. What brings you up here?"

Smiling at his answer, that he would've actually brought her along with him on his trip, she decided to answer him as quickly as she could. "Mister Kazura! Oh, well I guess I should've told you before I left but I didn't think about it. No biggie though! Actually, what brings me here is the Hell part. You know, because of my 'powers'." She leans in close for that last line, him being the only person in the organization that has seen Death. Hopefully he got the hint.

Then, another plane landed and she watched another person get off the plane. Nothing seemed off with the person, but Kazura seemed a bit off. She looked at the person again and since she has no energy sensory, she couldn't tell what this 'person' was but she would try to be vigilant with that person and the other woman that was standing around. She looked vaguely familiar but she couldn't place the name.

Once they all landed, armed men started to pour out of the airport. She grabbed for her necklace, ready to act at a moment's notice, watching them surround their little group. They didn't point the guns at them, which didn't help ease her mind at all, and the creepy guy come talk to them didn't help either. She just kind of stared at him, listening slightly to what he was saying, but was more focused on the armed soldiers.

When he motioned towards the van, Vesta walked as quickly as she could, noticing that Kazura was keeping close to her. It was nice to know that she had someone here who actually had her back. They were transported to the next location in total silence, because Vesta wasn't going to be the one to talk to the creepy man with all the armed guards around. Once they arrived, she was relieved that she didn't have to be in a cooped up place with the creepy guy anymore.

Ushered inside, they were told what was going to happen and they had to strip. Um.....excuse me?! She was barely legal, going to be made to strip in front of her boss and these other people? She would also lose her Dolls?! This seemed a little too sketchy, but once Kazura started to take off his clothes, Vesta averted her eyes. She looked away until he started to talk. When she did turn around, she looked at his face only.

After the arm thing happened, which she still didn't get, she started to strip down to her undergarments as well, thankful that she was wearing some normal underwear today. Once stripped, she laid her locket and armlet down in a bin, kissing both of them before lightly placing them away. She walked up to where Kazura had been. "Vesta Zweig, Nakabakki Bount. The demon in me can't be removed since she is a part of me, so I don't know how you're going to deal with that."

Saying her race out loud made her nervous, since she knew that her kind could be looked down upon. Well, at least the Bount side of her. She had no idea what would happen to the demon side. Once she mentioned the demon side of her personality, her eyes would glaze over slightly, showing off Death's eyes slightly, before going back to normal. So, she would stand there, completely embarrassed being half naked in front of these strangers and her boss to see what would happen.

[Deleted]

Hal smiled as Vesta decided to cooperate with the orders and didn't act out at the orders or the demands that they gave her. Upon finding out that Vesta was a nakabaki Hal stepped forward and put his hand upward. The other guards raised their guns up at her now knowing what the abnormally colored chest of her's and the chains that she hadn't removed. It made sense, but right now there was a spawn of what they were trying to develop weapons against. “Hal, control your men, she is a welcomed guest here of Dr West.” Jarvis spoke up after seeing what was going on. “She isn't the first we have had here and you and your men know that.”

Hal raised up his hand to let the guards know to lower their weapons. “Stand down men. Jarvis is right she is a guest of Dr. West.” The men lowered their guns allowing Vesta to pass through the scanner, it went off because of the nakabaki torso that she has."Sorry about that miss Vesta, we haven't had the best experience with all nakabaki or akki." With that done, the only one left was the hollow, which all the guards knew exactly what he was. Jarvis waved over for Vesta to come over holding onto her uniform that they had provided for her. 

[Valentin Acciai]

Valentin didn't have the patience for plane rides, they were too risky considering his condition and he had better ways of travelling anyhow. Having used a Garganta he had arrived a good distance away from the airport and then had himself a walk towards where he needed to be. Meeting up with the others it was hard not to notice the glares he was receiving, ah bollocks! they were proficient reiatsu sensory then. Fortunately he knew one of the people there, Keira, whom he gave a brief nod of recognition. Soon after armed men burst through and surrounded them, it didn't surprise him much and if they were here to gun everyone down his chances of survival like usual were the highest although he was also the most likely to get shot.

Fortunately he had prepared for it and at great expense to his reiatsu reserves cloned himself earlier, having the clone hide deep in the middle of nowhere. If only he had the mental capacity to control two bodies at once, that would have been wonderful. But yes, with the armed men beginning to process the group it became more and more obvious Valentin's plan of anonymity just wasn't going to occur. So in something of a small internal panic trying to think of how to salvage the mess he decided to play ball, the... nakabakki... bount? seemed to be a threat but they took her in anyhow, not that he had any idea what the two words that made up her race meant, you learned to little being stuck in a desert most of your life.

So when it was finally Valentin's turn he took a step forward and stiffly dropped his bag in front of him, going over it's contents before introducing himself. ''Within this bag is nothing but preserved hollow flesh and medical appliances which shouldn't worry you. But from the stiffness in all of you i guess you've already figured out what i am.'' he let those words linger just a little ''Mr. Clyburn wasn't interested in showing up so i decided to lend my aid to humanity instead. Doctor Valentin Acciai, i am a greater hollow, an Adjuchas and i am both sentient and unwilling to feed on people. If that is of any value to you.'' he said as he removed his headgear, revealing the grinning oni mask that covered his face and the pink hair behind.

From plenty of experience he knew coming clean with what he was or asking someone not to treat him like his inferior bretheren had rarely worked out in the past, if he desired to he could just vanish into an ulcera and get out of there or have the clone get ready to leave but he was a curious one, and he did really want that money, he had rent to pay and quite the grumpy landlord he told himself which had him smirk, not that anyone would have noticed with his mask in the way. ''So, gonna shoot a good samaritan or not? let's not be racist alright, i'll just leave if you don't want my aid.''

[Samael Moreira]

All of Valentin  planning had been for naught yes the hollow was upfront with his intentions and his actions. However Hal and the rest of the staff at the facility only saw Valentin  as one thing and one thing only, a test subject. The often had to go out and capture their own fresh hollows to use in the experiments and having one come right up to their doorstep that wasn't outright attacking them was a boon. Without giving any sign or indication the guard behind Valentin  fired out a dart from his gun. The dart would hit Valentin  causing him to fall on the floor. It was a mixed blend of the reiatsu suppressant that the rest of the people would recive as well as a powerful paralyzing agent that would render him unable to move.

Two guards would quickly gather Valentin 's body and move him past the other three dragging him to an unknown location for the time. “Don't worry about him, him being a hollow we have to have special safety procedures in place for him. Depending on how he acts we will see if he needs to be put down or if we can release him. As for the rest of you please hold out your right arm to get the shot.” Hal looked at Kazura's right arm and gave a soft smirk before stepping back allowing another man to step forward. This man had dark brown hair and was carrying several needles as well as a pill with a cup of water on a tray. Most noticably the man was missing one arm having his lab coat on that side folded upwards.

“Dr Connors here will be giving you the injections after which he will be giving you the allowed tour for the first day.” Dr Connors smiled at the three of them first injecting Kazura, then Vesta and finally offering the pill to Keira  for her to swallow. He would make sure that all three actually took the reiatsu suppressant. Before nodding to Hal and the rest of the team which in turn allowed them all to depart and leave the three of them with Dr Connors. Kazura and Vesta would feel a bit ill after taking the shot having their stomach feeling somewhat upset, Keira  however taking the pill would almost immediately feel sick neededing to throw up as her stomach felt as if it was rolling constantly. “Sorry for how this makes you all feel, it's not the best feeling in the world, but it does keep us all here safe, you must understand we can't risk our work because of someone not behaving. Oh Keira  sorry, but your tour might be restricted to the bathroom for a while, a guard will be on hand to make sure you're ok.”

With that Dr. Connors started to walk guiding Kazura and Vesta away from the main entrance hall. “Our facility is based on three floors, each floor specializing in different things. The first floor is specimen gathering and identification as well as acting as the barracks for the security team. There are a lot of things out there that we capture and house here. The greenhouse as we call it is used for maintaining subjects we haven't identify or are waiting to be transported. Hal's office is down the hall to the left by the way. This floor also acts as the main kitchen and dinning area for most of the staff, mostly because Kyle is a killer cook.” The tour of this floor would take about twenty minutes as it was a smaller floor and would end with them walking past the map room and entering an elevator that lead them down to the second floor.

“Floor two is mostly weapons and item creation. Miss Edna is in charge of this floor for the most part and works to create new armor and weapons for us to use based on the information given to us from floor three.” Dr. Connors would guide them around showing them some of the labs on this floor as well as stopping when they came to an odd ball guy no older than seventeen years old with dark brown hair. “This is Theodore Donald  a nice kid with a passion for tinkering, Dr. West brought him on board after he saw some of the things he was doing as a kid with toaster ovens.” Donald simply smiled and went back to working on some of his own tech.

The tour would end with Kazura and Vesta standing infront of a sleeping quarters section labeled number two. “This is as far as I can show you guys. Sadly Dr. West doesn't like people to see floor three without him around nor talking about it. Take it easy for the rest of the day as the effects of the suppressant are a bit nasty for the first 12 hours, but feel free to look around and talk with the staff. Dr West should be up in time for dinner and you all can meet him there and find out more about why we asked you here.” With that Dr. Connors would step away and head off down to his own lab in the same floor. Kiera would eventually be lead around by a guard who would give her the bare bones tour telling her what she missed with the tour that Kazura and Vesta got say for introducing her to Theodore.

As for Valentin, well he would watch himself be dragged down to the third floor and placed into a room with other hollows being held in large vats all of them unmoving and all of them unable to use their powers. A man would walk in with a smile across his face as he watched Valentin being loaded in. “Quick drain as much blood of his as you can and get it over to the cloning lab, we need to start creating fresh hollows out of this one as soon as possible, they don't tend to last that long when you starve them of souls. The cells become less stable and unreliable.” The person that he spoke to quickly said Yes Dr West, and started to draw blood from Valentin all the while Dr West watched before poking the tank and saying to Valentin. “Well now little hollow do you care to talk while we drain you or not?”

[Kazura Uzaki]

Kazura was utterly confused for a moment as Valentin was dragged off. He swore the creature had mentioned "Mr. Clyburn" which was the last name of Kazura's manager Luke... This must just be a coincidence. After all, Kazura had issued orders that this troublesome Hollow that fed on just other Hollows and Shinigami was to be purified if possible as he would be of more use to the organization as a Shinigami than as a Hollow or Arrancar. Well, no matter, it wasn't a last name that was unique to the one person. Must have been a different spiritually aware Mr. Clyburn, Kazura told himself. He wasn't yet willing to believe that his orders had been ignored completely.

Having changed into his pocketess jumpsuit of sorts, Kazura wanted to object heavily to the dimensional band being placed on his right arm, but he did not have a choice. He was going to behave, for now, and if he needed to he still had his UE1 Handgun sealed into his left index finger with a magazine of exploding bullets. Sure, it wouldn't be a suit that could catch on fire nor would it be his impossibly sharp sword, but it would serve to protect him if he needed it. Though he wasn't sure he'd be able to summon up the energy to unseal it with this reiatsu dampener shot he was about to get...

Feeling nauseous, but powering through it with pure force of Will, Kazura followed along the tour without asking a lot of questions, hoping to avoid vomiting like Keira probably was doing. She had called herself a Fullbringer Anomaly, and had been called a Failure. She must have power on the scale of Impossible, then. Kazura wasn't sure what she meant about the friendly case of explosions, never having been told about that particular drawback to Impossible's existence. The other failure chose to adamantly state he was completely human and that's what Kazura believed.

One line stuck in Kazura's head though as they walked through floors one and two. Vesta had stated that the demon in her couldn't be removed. He hadn't put two and two together until just now. That's the other half of the reiatsu signature that Vesta gives off. She's half bount and half hell being. A Nakabakki, like she stated. Jak was like that as well, giving off a reiatsu signature of half hell, half Mod Soul. Everything was clicking into place in Kazura's mind. When Vesta summoned up that Nether, another side of her had taken over. The Demon inside of her. Kazura couldn't imagine what the woman went through every day, having a demon inside. He hoped that she was alright and had someone looking after her that was more attentive to these things.

When the tour ended, Kazura thanked Dr. Connors and made his way towards the second floor. He had felt a connection to Theodore Donald and wanted to talk with him more. Theodore seemed to be the kind of person that Kazura had grown up as. Someone with limitless creativity, a passion for tinkering, and a real knack for invention. He was younger too, closer to Kazura's age than most of the scientists they'd seen so far. Maybe Theodore would understand where the one armed Fullbringer was at in life and would be able to share some of the technology he'd created. He had seemed friendly enough, too, so that's what Kazura did. Whether or not he was joined by Vesta or Keira, he tried to find Theodore to sit down and have a chat.
