"That they do, but I am not as strong as you are, nor am I very adept in combat. I'll point you where you need to go, isn't that good enough? Yes... and Yes, the cure will work. We have been working with different samples for years. The team locked in the sub-basement has perfected it, we just have to recover their sample and finish what they started. Once we administer it the effects of psychosis will slowly fade and the Consumer's will regain control of their minds." He said in reply to Bernard's worries about him guiding the team. The scientist gave a nod of his head to Omen's comrades.
"What fascinating names you all have, maybe I'll make a special name for myself one day. I think it is best we don't dally around too much, the Consumers could return at any moment." He finished.
There was a flicker of something odd in Stephen's thoughts, he indeed was planning more than what he was saying, but he was forcefully blocking those thoughts out so that the psychic could not access them and was trying extremely hard not to directly think about them. Every time thoughts of the secret lab would arise he would replace them with the thought of a calm flowing beach, with waves gently splashing up on the glistening sand shores. He would then start humming his favorite song, then would repeat the process with new images and songs.
The clones stared at Bernard through their white masks, but they made no outward indications if his words about them being fodder bothered them. As the red hair Sensitive took the lead, the others followed behind just as he ordered them to. As soon as they were inside the lab the clones proceeded to press the keypad to close and lock the sliding mechanical door that led to the laboratory to make sure the Consumers didn't follow. The room smelled strongly of rot and decay and it made the two Aces and Bianca gag in disgust.
Stephen swung his gun on his back using the attached strap and took a look around the room for a bit. He suddenly clapped his hands together and let off a small chuckle. "This is brilliant, just brilliant. Look at that! The healing Vita-tanks and the cloning pods are all intact! If we turned the main power back on we could actually make more clones! They would be naked and without weapons, but that isn't a big deal. If you need healing, the Vita-tank should be able to run on minimum power. They were designed to use the emergency power in case a patient was inside. It would be a shame if life support went out while one of our more critical patients were healing." He said with amusement.
The room had eight of the vita-tanks lining the northern wall, and then two silver egg like machines at the back left wall for where the clones were made. The rest of the room was lined with desks and cabinets with various medical supplies. There were two dead scientist laying at the far back wall, they had decomposed into skeletons...
"Right, enough chatter. This wall right here should do it... yes, about here..." He walked over to where two Vita-tanks were stationed and walked in between them. They were too large to move and were also bolted down to the floor, but there was enough space to walk in the space between them and the tanks were also currently empty of any of the healing liquids. Stephen stepped aside and crossed his arms as he waited for the two Sensitives to do their thing and burn a hole through the wall.
Wavelink stepped up and extended her hands as directed and began using her powers to slowly shoot her acid like substance out to eat away at the wall, but it was slow and not very effective. "This is going to take hours... Sorry, I was afraid to put too much power into it, I thought I might break something..."
Stephen waved his hand to dismiss her worries. "Don't worry my dear, as soon as we get to the secret sub-basement we can use the ones down there. There is a room with far more interesting things and dozens upon dozens of healing tanks and cloning machines. Destroy this room for all I care. The sub-basement is what is important."
