The scientist that had spoken up in his defense arched an eyebrow and turned back to Saeline. "Do I really sound like that?"
"He's a chip off the old block, Gaudille," the woman answered slyly before turning back to Dredge. "The answer to your question is quite simple, but I will be happy to use my mind to alleviate your self-appointed ignorance." She motioned to Beta. "Child, turn about so he can see the side opposite him."
The girl blinked in confusion, but did as she was told, and on her right hip, the one that had been turned away, a slender plasma pistol was holstered firmly in place.

Terros sighed. "Now, if this petty insubordinate talk is all done, could I possibly ask when we are to begin our mission? And what are our exact goals, to the letter." He asked politely, despite the snide tone he had used to start with.

"Guadille? So I am modeled in my personality after you sir? I see. Madam Saeline, you still have left me wondering as to the status of my sword and their guns." Dredge said, looking at the people speaking. He was being polite in words, although his tone towards Saeline was so disrespectful it sounded very much like he was cursing at her. He shifted in his chair, leaning more against the back and sitting forewards. He held his hands together on the table in front of him, putting the swrd up as well. His eyes were fine as he looked at the others, but everytime he ooked at Sealine he started glaring. He had asked a simple question and was met with disrespect and what seemed like loathing, so he would be the same way back. Karma is a ***** isn't it you ugly piece of ****... He thought to himself as he stared hard at the scientist.

Saeline sighed as she pulled something out of her belt. "What'd I tell you, Gaudille? Faulty programming leads to a faulty product." She pointed it at Dredge and pushed a button as pain racked through his body, paralyzing him.
"For the record, C-Class, I am your superior officer, and you will treat me as such," she demanded, advancing on him. "And two, I answered your bloody arrogant question, whether you liked it or not. You don't have a gun because you can't use a gun, it's that simple. Now, I recommend you shape up, or this will become a team of four, and you will be sent to the processing chambers until your malfunctions can be identified and corrected, do I make myself clear?"
This response wouldn't have surprised anyone. It was standard operation procedure. Dredge was functioning outside his acceptable behavioral parameters, and the situation had to be addressed.

The Blonde scientist then said "Well Hoen? Are you going to fill them in?" The old scientist, the one that seemed to speak to Max alot then spoke up "Ok Claudia, I'll get Started."
Hoen Moved to the back of the room while Claudia had a seat next to Beta. "Alright, the mission details include this:
First, you must locate the activated Ruins and make sure that local Carbons are not injured by them, make minimal contact with the carbons as we do not want to contaminate their social develpoment. Second you must investigate the reason of this sudden re-activation of these ruins, we must know why they are activvating in order to prevent it from happening in the future. Lastly, you must shut down the ruins as quickly as possible, by force if necessary." He looked to Dredge and muttered "Or perhapse perferrably."
"Any more questions?" Claudia asked with a slight smirk.

Dredge tried to say something insulting back, but couldn't manage anything. Finally after a whle he managed to mumble out, "Yes.... Ma'am."

Terros shrugged. "I can only think of one, after all, it is not our position to ask questions. When do you wish for us to begin?" He asked dryly and simply.

"We want you to begin as soon as possible but we have a couple of trials to get to first, we do have to test your team skills after all." Gaudelle began "So, we'll have you in the field as soon as your test is over and done with."
Hoen Continued "The test we have set up is a simulated ruin, which will most likely be very similar to a real ruin. Just like a real ruin, the simulation is on a time limit, thirty six hours from now the ruin will meltdown and self-destruct." Hoen thought for a moment "Or was it forty hours for now.... it really doesent matter, when you begin the mission is up to you" He gestured to Max who looked at his other team-mates for a response. "What's wrong Max?" Hoen asked. Max turned to Hoen and said "I just want to know what the rest of my squad mates think about this, when do you guys think we should start?"

"Ouch...."
Dredge still was not moving, but his head had turned to face the speaker as best as possible.

Once Dredge said Yes, Ma'am, Saeline clicked the device off and the pain disappeared.
Beta raised her hand. "Um ... why is the ruin melting down?"

Hoen smirkes saying "Although we don't know exactly what the ruin will do, there is no doubt that it will be destructive, now just imaging the collateral damage that would be caused if an underground ruin self destructed, hundreds to thousands of carbons would be injured or terminated, and as you could probably guess, we would not want that. To answer your question directly, merely to simulate the importance of time while you all are down there.

The girl cringed at the thought. "That sounds like it's gonna hurt ..."
The blonde scientist beside her patted her head. "No need to worry, Beta. You're built to last!"

"Indeed, just as you all are." Hoen said.
"Well, I think we should start now, i mean if time is of the essence then do we really have much of a choice?" Max said, trying to speak to everyone at once. Hoen smiled and said "Well now, isin't that a good question! Just like most great questions, you need to find the answer for yourself, so, are you sure you want to start your test ruin now?"
Max thought for a moment then said simply "Yes, and I don't think my teammates have any objections."
Hoen and the other scientists stood up and moved towards the front door, Guadelle, the last one out said "I left a map of the ruin on the Table near Mekka you should study it before you go inside, maybe you could formulate a plan, i dunno. Whatever you do, meet us down the hall in about ten minutes.

"Um ..." Beta had started to raise her hand in objection to starting immediately, wanting to put it off as long as possible, but Claudia pushed the girl's hand back down and gave her a reassuring smile before following the other scientists out.

Dredge got up slowly and followed. "Who is the leader of the team? Who is in what position?" He was speaking to Guadille. "Is someone the medic, leader, heavy weaponry, explosives or something? Or are the positions completely different?" He sped up a little to match Guadille's stride, and looked at him. He was a slightly shorter than the scientist was.
