Cerebra Womb - Desperation

Sam barely spoke on the way into the room. She hesitates a bit as she approaches the tank.

"...I really wanted to believe she made it back," she sighs.

Bear had absently been following Sam and Will, and now was looking into the Cerebra Womb.

"Huh.. I always figured it would be bigger."

"Eh, leave the secret psychic mutant detector to the imaginations of students outside the loop, and the tall tales grow like bean stalks."

Bear was obviously tiptoeing around the recent events.

"What just happened out there? Why do I feel like this whole thing isn't right?"

"I was dead.. That can't be right. And yet, what I'm feeling, it feels correct? Ugh.."

Bear is trying to puzzle her way through it. And not having much success.

Will started to say something, then apparently thought better of it. "We're here when you get out," he said, retreating to the safety of the observation deck.

"Somethings we have to do on our own." Bear reasoned, looking down to Cerebra.

"You can help from where you are, watching over her."

After the tank fills, Bear might get the sudden impression of a flock of birds taking flight.

Will of course, doesn't get the pleasure.

"Nnng," Will said, swatting at the console for a second, before waking up and remembering the situation.

He stood up and shook the sleep out of his eyes, headed back down into the chamber.

Sam leans forward as the tank hisses open, coughing as she expels the last of the oxygenated fluid from her lungs.
