P.S: All readers should note that the POV will no longer be from Khan's for sometime.
Eigengrau (the colour you see when there complete absence of light). Eigengrau, that is all Khan could see when he woke up blindfolded. The Elite force had taken him prisoner and most likely killed his Tia. Right now though he had his own shit to deal with. As he lay down on his back he felt something crawling up his leg climbing higher and higher eventually stopping at his thigh. Then he heard a door open, footsteps walk in and a voice say "Khan, good evening I am here for your physical examination. If you can hear me please respond." The voice was that of a woman it sounded soft, stern and caring all at the same time. Khan completely forgot about the slimy creature on his thigh it seems however, it didn't proceeded to remind him of it's existence through a well placed bite. Instantly pain seared through his leg a fiery hot sensation running up his leg. "As much I would love for you to give me a physical I think there is something on my leg." Khan said. "Don't worry about it" the voice said "The leech is meant to take a blood sample it will be done with shortly." Immediately she finished speaking Khan felt the creature detach from his leg and slither off. "Sir, I am now going to remove your restraints and blindfold. When this is done you will do as I say immediately it is said without question. If this is not done there are worse things that could happen than a leech. Am I understood?" Khan nods his head in response. "Okay, I am removing your blindfold do not make any sudden movement." Khan did as he was told without any argument as the blindfold came off there was little to no difference between the darkness of the blindfold and the darkness of the room he was in except for the blue glowing eyes he saw staring at him with rapt attention. "Sir could you please follow me for your physical exam?" she said as she turned around without waiting for his response. "Could I please know your name?" Khan asked hoping to create some rapport. She walked into the darkness and opened the door, immediately light flooded the room and she walked out. Khan had to run to catch up to her. "Please could I know what happened and how I got here, who you are, what happened to my Tia?" Khan asked with so many more questions in his mind but not enough breath to say them all. It was not until after he asked these questions did he catch up to her and look at her face. She was cold through and through, her eyes were blue and icy, her skin was pale and clear Khan had never seen her before but she seemed vaguely familiar. They walked through a corridor and turned left into a stairwell before she finally spoke "This is a facility for all Needless's caught by the Elite Force. You are here on suspicion of being a Needless brought in by Officer Zakir. My name is not important but you can call me Chione." She said this in a very flat monotonous way. They had reached the bottom of the stairs when Chione said, "I will be the one to supervise through your stay and your eventual exit be it alive or in a body bag." "Wait. So I can leave?" Khan asked excitedly the first piece of good news he had received since he got here. "I would worry about how you are going to survive first" Chione said this as she opened a door opposite them. The smell was the first thing that hit Khan's nose it was disgusting it smelt like the ammonia they had used back in his chemistry class in school. The stench immediately made him retch. Chione walked in and Khan followed behind her again giving nothing away in her facial expression. They got to another door before Chione spoke again, "There is a simple proposition we have for you. You can be culled as we do to all Needless or you can work to gain your freedom at some point in time. Choose now because we don't have time." "If I you are asking me to choose between life and death I'm definitely choosing life." Khan said immediately without thinking. Chione then said "I can assure there are way worse things that could happen to you than being culled. Are you sure of your decision because once you go through this door you are not coming back the same?" Khan nodded his head to signal that there was no changing his mind he opened the door and walked in not knowing that his life was going to change forever…
