The moment she stepped in, she was punched by the smell and sight of the area. It was revolting, both the smell and the sight. The smell was familiar to her, it was something that the researchers use before cutting up their test subjects.
"They must be on Ketamine, it's a substance we use before we perform surgery on our subjects. But, I think the whole place is filled with it, seeing as how the girls are all like that," explained Rina as she stepped in.
"I don't know how much of this substance that you've given them but it has sent them into a catatonic started at this point," replied Mavislin.
The area was larger than any of the rooms that the group had been into, even bigger than the one Gab and Ysabeau were currently going through. It was dimly lit with the soft sounds of gurgling and whimpers. There were multiple pods lined around the perimeter of the room.
At a glance, one could tell that they were at least more than 30 pods. Mavislin walked further into the room and placed a hand on the pod. She leaned closer and stared at it carefully. She was slightly disturbed but not shocked at the scene. At most, she felt uneasy.
A woman was in there. She wasn't asleep but she didn't seem to have a sound mind. Her eyes were devoid of life as she laid in the pod, naked as a baby's bottom. Her womb was inflated and her mouth was covered with a large tube. All of the women were breathing in Ketamine.
And it was at such high levels that the entire area was filled with that smell. But it did not faze the Valkyrie one bit. Bryan and Rina weren't affected either since the mask was quite repellent against the strong substance.
The woman that Mavislin had been looking at started to move, causing the Valkyrie to back away. Rina appeared behind the Valkyrie.
"She's about to give birth. We collect the sperm from the donors from the town and implant them in the women here. Their sole purpose is to breed. These are the cream of the crop. They are labeled as the best breeders we've got. And they have given birth countless of times."
The Valkyrie's nose scrunched up in disgust at that statement. How could she so easily cough that up? She wasn't a human but at least have some decency. And don't say as if it amuses her, that would be going straight into creepy town!
"The area that your other team members should have their children. But I can't confirm if they are all dead or alive. But rest assured, all of the women in this room are very much alive. Well, a child is coming out. But the drugs prevent her from feeling any pain," explained Rina.
She then bent down to the bottom of the pod to try to catch the baby. The pod opened up from the bottom, where Rina was crouched at. A few moments later, a baby's wails could be heard. Bryan looked on as horror swallowed his face whole.
"The kids are made to be experiments for us. I know it sounds disturbing but most of LAbion's medicines came from our facility. Without them, we wouldn't have been able to save the ones above us," justified Rina as she caught the baby on time.
Mavislin shook her head as she glanced around. Rina was right, no matter how loud this child was wailing, the rest of the pods remain undisturbed. Rina quickly covered the child with towels that just so happened to be lying around the room.
The room was quite well-equipped, after overlooking the pregnant women in the pods. There were small bassinets to accommodate the newborns and lots of cloth and a running water tap system. But the bassinets were placed on stone tables that resembled the operating tables they've seen.
She dampened a piece of cloth to slowly wipe away the baby's face while rinsing the blood away. The child's cries had toned down.
"They won't be sound in their minds, judging by this. I can't believe the torture they would have to go through. All for the sake of a better humanity. I have a feeling that your morgue is huge. Either that or you have mass graves around here," said Bryan, with a repulsive look.
"We keep the bodies for further experiments. Like, trying out new things. For example, if the baby is born with no arms, we find the dead one to sew on arms for it. And you are right, none of the children bred here are sound. They will never function as normal humans anymore."
"And you are alright with that?" asked Bryan, raising his voice.
