The room is dark. A round table stands alone in that darkness. 9 chairs around it.
8 people around the round table. Discussing the events that had happened years ago.
A guy at the North side of the table decides to start the meeting.
"How's the kid. The one that we took like what, years ago or so."
A woman opppsite of his side of the table.
"The kid is now a teenager. He's now sixteen. How about the girl, Number eight."
A mans voice raspy even in this dark area with a small amount of light coming through it you can see his hulking sillouette.
"The girl she's now going through her period and she wishes for tampons and pa---"
Different man with a voice that sounds like it holds "no power".
"Number eight you hulking dumbass. Number five is talking about the transmutation and the progress you have been making with her."
"Ohh, thats what she's talking about?"
"Yes, yes, that's what im talking about. It's okay though, we all make mistakes. You can tell me now though."
Her voice - that of a siren that can manipulate captains to thier death.
"Ok i'll tell you now. I believe she is getting better at using her transmutation. She can release more. But luckly for me, my brain doesn't work to well."
The voice of a hulk. The brain of a child.
"Thank you number eight. Now Number six, you are the one in charge of Miguel, Yes?"
"Yes I am, Number one."
"How has he been. No trouble, I hope?"
"There has been trouble but we can get through it and learn more."
"How has his transmutation been going?"
"Number one, I'm not very sure this kid has it. We have tried for years and his transmutation has never manifested or showed up mentally or physically."
He slams the table.
Everyone now sitting up straight. Eyes focused on the sillouette of Number one.
He's small, His voice frail. Yet, he holds more power than anyone at this table.
"WE HAVE BEEN TOLD TIME AND TIME AGAIN! HE IS THE BEACON FOR THEM TO ARRIVE, YOU KNOW THAT, WE ALL KNOW THAT! SO STOP FUCKING DENYING IT AND GET MORE PROGRESS!"
"Yes, Number one. I'll do better to make more progress. I'm sorry."
There fear in her voice. Like the fear of a child doing wrong in front of their parent.
"I don't want apologies, I want results."
Another one decides to jump in.
"We have no idea where the others are."
Heavy japanese accent.
"Number seven, I told you to use your translater multiple times now. Your stupid fucking accent is annoying."
Disgust in his voice.
"NUMBER TWO! He may be annoying but he is still a person at this table and the only ones with the ability to demand anything of anyone here is Number one, and Zero."
The soft voice of a girl broke through.
"What, Number three, you like him?"
He laughs. The laugh of a physchotic man.
"No, but at this table we are treated as equals besides Number one and Zero
"Thank you, three. Thankful for you help."
"No worries, Number seven but you should use your translater. Hard to understand you sometimes."
The silliouette bows its head.
"Yes, I will keep in mind."
The voice with 'no power' breached through the chaos.
"Number seven is right we dont know where the supposed 'Ender of us' is. Or even who it is."
The frail voice of Number one answers.
"Number four, when they tell me I will deliver the message and execute a plan. For now we need to stay with the ones we do know and make more progress."
"Yes, Number one!"
All the numbers answer.
Number one adds.
"Number six, I need better results from you. And does anyone know where the fuck Zero is at."
