Before Gabe was taken to the facility, his thought capacity, intelligence, and ability to perform critical thinking were just average, but with the experiments they carried in them in the facility, and the hunger he got for studying, his IQ rose, and was still rising as he increased in power, after getting the system.
When Gabe used his new skill he also discovered something, it seemed some kind of chip was placed in his neck, and this was the same for the others.
'Damn! Why did I not notice this earlier? If it has a microphone component then we are screwed, they would have heard our earlier whispers when we hurdled up. Well, it's not like we would really be screwed but the pain that we would receive is sure to increase. This will be done in an attempt to make us drop our earlier notion that this might be a test, and then see if we truly spill the beans about whatever info they want to squeeze from us. Let me check to be sure,' Gabe thought.
