"Well, no I haven't been here that long; but it was mentioned during my orientation that the offshore lab was strictly off-limits to students. When I got my dorm assignment, my roommate left shortly after I'd gotten there. She was going to visit a friend in the infirmary. The story I was told is that the girl disappeared for almost two weeks, and all she's been able to do since then is babble about "N.I.C.E." and scream. Plus, it's pretty clear to me, that the lab owns the school. Maybe the other way around."

Lee folded her arms behind her head and waited for her next instructions.

N.I.C.E. Labs owning the campus? Dawn has never thought about this, it can be true though. However the time during she has spent on this island, she has come to think that both the N.I.C.E. Labs and Shokushu Campus is probably the same, made by the same people with the exact same goals in mind. Dawn scratched her head also, she never thought about subject actually, but since she's been back N.I.C.E. Labs has always appeared in her head and she can't really ignore it,

"Good point, however being that i have been here for so long, i believe both the campus and NICE Labs are being run by the same person, or group. I have more then enough experience to know that they are connected this way. N.I.C.E. Labs have always done very extreme experiments on students, randomly picking them, most of them come back are completely different after they been taken away. I happen to...be taken twice and come back, first time nothing seen off, this time however..."

Dawn pointed at her hair, she shows off her pink highlights,

"This is an example of some...after effects of the...tests and sorts. Of course I'm sure by you know I also have something like yours. Again it is an after effect, however it isn't all that great. I been getting theses images of what has happened to me during my absence from the campus...All of them are what I am assuming took place to me while I was in N.I.C.E. Labs."

"Hmm. You make an interesting point. Though I can't imagine what sort of organization would go to such measures for scientific experiments." As a matter of fact, the more she thought about it, the more outlandish and dis-believable her theory seemed, but she was staring living proof right in the face, it couldn't be denied.

"Have you ever heard of the Illuminati?"

"Hmm. You make an interesting point. Though I can't imagine what sort of organization would go to such measures for scientific experiments." As a matter of fact, the more she thought about it, the more outlandish and dis-believable her theory seemed, but she was staring living proof right in the face, it couldn't be denied.

"Have you ever heard of the Illuminati?" Lee blurted out after a few moments.

The Illuminati? Yes she has heard of the term, several times actually. One thing she remembered hearing was they were called the Enlightened Ones, or something like that. Although it is still kind of a myth, everything like that is more of like a myth.

"The Enlightened Ones? Am i correct? i can be wrong, i heard of them before, i don't think they would be doing all of this. I always thought of them being just scientists that want to test endurance...or to serve something out of this world. I never thought about it that far actually... how do you know about the Illuminati?"

"hmm might be right, they seem a little too into themselves to do something like this. Then again they are a myth so maybe or maybe not. Can't exactly ask Mr. Stormbringer if this is all true, he won't answer, probably lock you in the basement or through you into the N.I.C.E. Labs."

N.I.C.E. Labs is a place i don't want to be in, again. Twice is more then enough for her, being able to come back twice from it is more then lucky for myself anyway. This girl has some knowledge that i can learn more from, but right now something was suppose to be happening.

"Anyway uh if your ready i'll like to start the next exercise, we can talk more about this later if you want."

"Yeah, sure whenever you are ready."

Lee knew who Mr. Stormbringer was, he was supposed to be the headmaster here, the odd thing was, at least to her, was that she hadn't seen him since she'd been here. Maybe it was just in the movies that the headmaster of the school welcomed new students in person, though she assumed it must have been a somewhat common tradition at one point or another as all fiction has it's base in truth. Now that she'd thought about it, something else bugged her too.

"Sorry to change the subject on you again, but didn't it seem odd to you that the headmaster of an all-girls school would be male?"

"Mr. Stormbringer? Actually, no i never thought about it, i figured it would be something that goes unanswered. I only met Mr. Stormbringer once, and Mr. Niceman twice, both uh...pretty bad. You don't see them unless you are in there attention, and usually when that happens it isn't a good thing. I honestly don't know how i am able to stay here this long, let alone come back twice."

Yes it was odd, come to think of it, but they aren't really the only males in the area. The images she has seen in her flash images, those of the N.I.C.E. Lab scientists, are male. Again seeing real male's usually isn't a good thing, which is rather odd considering what is threatening the students on the campus itself.

"Ok now try and do the splits, if you can't just let me know and i won't push you to do it."

Lee stretched a bit more, just to be safe, then dropped into a perfect split.

"This long? You must be a senior then." She spoke rather nonchalantly considering the subject they were speaking of.

Dawn nodded and sighed quietly, yes she was, sadly she was the one of the very few and last of the seniors of her class. the only ones left is her now lower and co-captain Kim, Sondra and her sister Josie, and Madison, who disappeared again. She would think of Keahi but it seems she is disappearing off and on, which is never a good thing.

"Ya I am...I was the Student Of The Month for May 2005, i found that out the hard way. first time i saw Mr. Stormbringer, and Mr. Niceman, wasn't a good experience. my memories are kinda fuzzy so i can't recall what happened but it wasn't good. I been on the campus for a good, 4 years now, not counting the time I missed."

Dawn watches Lee drop to the ground with a perfect split, I smiled and went in front of her and did the same just to prove she can do the same.

"very good Lee, most people would try and BS there way by being straighten but that is perfect form...you'll be great on the Squad."

"That's great, so when do we meet for practice?" Lee asked, smiling. It wasn't like she hadn't heard what Dawn had said, or didn't care, but the good news she had just gotten pushed those thoughts aside for the moment.

"Well that is simple actually, we practice every day after classes are over. Except for some days, which i will say before it happens. My co-captain is Kim, she also can help you guys out when I am not here." Dawn pointed at the lockers, "I can show you where your locker is if you want, or that can always wait. I am still grouping the cheerleaders together, so you might see more people. We won't be too big though so, no worries."

"Alright, thanks. Actually, I need to get going now,"Lee said, looking at her watch.I have my last class in about an hour and I need to run back to my dorm and change back into my school uniform."
