I've woken up in a lab. I wasn't aware, but what remained of me was a cybernetic torso only with my head and no more. The lab guys were around me, with their high-tech scanners and were talking about something. I didn't understand, as that language seemed foreign to me. I've felt like i cannot feel a thing, as I was clearly injured from something, somewhere, which probably made me to be in this lab, experimented on with cyber tech. Fortunately, my connection to The Energy was still there, but severely weakened. The Energy was something akin to mana, but instead of the ethereal essence all around, it was more like the life force of every living thing all around was connected by The Energy.
My name, before I've happened to end in such a sorry state was Arun, and I was in the Darksider Faction. The Darksiders are a mysterious, dark energy arts users, who are controlling The Energy in a manner, that is similar to death magic and the like. I was a 21 years old human girl, who was at the Darksider Academy on a fairly well hidden planet, of which i forgot its name. I was deployed to a space station somewhere in deep space to investigate, but me and my squad kinda messed up, as the station was set to blow up when someone leaves their spaceship. Not only that, but that program there seemed to be well made, since the station blew up right after my squad kicked its power back on. At that time, I've realised it too late, since the countdown was already at zero, when the power went online.
Now I'm stuck inside of this messy lab, with wires and more wires and even more wires sticking all out over me. My faction will leave me behind, as a captured Darksider was supposed to make a suicide, in case some sensitive information may leak. I was stopped at my first and last attempt to do as my leaders told us all in such a case, and the lab rats then removed the device from me.
After around an hour, the lab rats left the room, as i was now left at a table with new, cybernetic body of mine. I am strapped to the lab table with some kind of metallic cuffs, as i am not able to move at all.
I've started to meditate, as the connection to The Energy was still there and tried to gather some corrosive energy inside of me. For around a minute, it seemed like nothing was happening, but then I've heard a sizzling sound and a metallic "PANG", as my cuffs fell apart and landed on the ground.
I've tried to move around a little, but unfortunately, I am not yet used to this metallic body, and fell on the ground, sprawled like someone, who just tripped. A rather funny sight for someone, who might be looking. I've tried at several attempts to get up, and after the fifth one, I've managed to get up.
When i started to move around my "cell", the alarms all around me started blaring, as it seemed like something has happened. I doubt that the cause of the alarm is me, but one is never so sure. I've waited for the lab rats to show up as I gathered some corrosive energy in my palms.
