<Sandwitches_> A short time later, Grace has been brought to the Dai-Gurren's medical bay, where the girl is resting....
<Sandwitches_> Leeron, and a doctor from have been looking her over, doing their best to keep her comfortable while examining whats been done to her body...
<Sandwitches_> The red haired woman from Arain smiles down at Grace. "...  I have to admit, young lady...  I'm surprised to see you in such good condition considering what you've been through.  You've undergone a rather massive amount of cybernetic conversion...  But you look like you've managed to keep your head on straight."
<AdventFalls> "Cyber-what now? So she's like.... part robot?"
<Kaguko> Simon enters the room and takes a look at what's going on. "...Hey, how's it looking over there?" Even the boy seems to be curious about what's gone on. "Yeah, kinda seems like it, considering she was hooked up to some kind of computer system."
<Kaguko> "...Makes me wonder what kind of computer thing that'd HAVE to use an actual living person to power up. I figured that Zinyak was cruel, but that's sinking to a new low.
<Sandwitches_> "From what I can tell...  shes undergone at least a 80% conversion.  And the cybernetics themselves are very different from any of the types we're familiar with." The Doctor admits looking over the information.  "I'd even go as far as to guess this stuff was exprimental even by Zin standards..."
<AdventFalls> "As long as she doesn't start talking about needing scissors."
<Kaguko> "It might even be stuff they don't know too much about, is what you're saying?"
<Sandwitches_> "EXACTLY!  Which is part of why it interests me so much!"
<Sandwitches_> Grace sighs and tries to sit up.  "I know why he had me hooked up in there..."
<AdventFalls> "And that is?"
<Sandwitches_> "He wanted to use me to learn more about...  an item he had in his collection.  He wanted to figure out if it could be harnessed...  Thats why he kidnapped me."  She takes a deep breath.  "I'd been working on a research project with a couple girls from the dinosaur empire at school. Comparing something we had which...  was apparently another version of it."
<Sandwitches_> "He fused the two versions and brought me with.  He said something about being able to see my potential."
<Kaguko> "...That doesn't sound safe. I mean, if it's two different types of the same thing, wouldn't it glitch out somehow?"
<Kaguko> "What do you think he was up to?"
<Sandwitches_> "Hardly."  The doctor laughs...  "I've seen multiple versions of the same person standing right next to each other here.  And amglamations of different versions of the same item...  what surprises me is that he can manually do it to the items himself..."
<Sandwitches_> "Like I said...  he was trying to figure out if he could harness the Relic...  Without me thats going to be a lot harder for him." She smirks.  "See...  I'm whats called a Whispered...  And While he saw how he could plug me in and use me as a supercomputer...  He either didn't know, or didn't care that it meant I'd be able to take a look at some of the other things he had going in the network."
<Sandwitches_> "Things like...  The other Simulations their computers were running."
<AdventFalls> "Other simulations?"
<Sandwitches_> "Places he put other people... People he included in his collection."  Her expression hardens a bit...  "He...  He makes the other simulations their worst fears, their worst nightmares.  He tortures them."
<Sandwitches_> "He didn't do that to me, because I was much more useful like you saw me."
<AdventFalls> "What kind of people does he have in there?"
<Kaguko> "...That's pretty disgusting. Sounds he has some problems, figures."
<Sandwitches_> "I guess the simplest way to describe them are...  "Extreme" people.  People who broke limits...  People who did impossible and crazy things."
<AdventFalls> "...Explains why he took an interest in me."
<Sandwitches_> There are 4 major simulations I saw...  I have a good idea who three of them are."

<AdventFalls> "Who are they?"
<Kaguko> "...That's a good question. Who the hell'd Zinyak want to kidnap so badly?"
<Sandwitches_> "One of them is...  a Knight or a King?  I think he might be from the same world as me, he looked familiar.  And Zinyak mentioned he was part of a set, thats here in the patchwork."
<Sandwitches_> " The Second one Seems to be the keeper of something that Zinyak called "The Lens"..."
<Sandwitches_> "And the third was the one that I think confused me the most...  But..."  She points up at Boss.  "He wore your symbol."
<AdventFalls> Boss's eyes went wide. "What did he look like? Black guy? Asian?"
<Sandwitches_> "Uh...  He was dark skinned, yeah..."
<AdventFalls> "...Pierce." Boss gasped. "...Fucking... Pierce is alive."
<Sandwitches_> She smiles...  "So he IS one of yours?  Thats good..."
<Kaguko> "..."
<Kaguko> "This got a lot more personal all of a sudden, huh?"
<Kaguko> "What'd this 'King' guy look like, though? Kinda weird..."
<Sandwitches_> "Brown hair...  silver armor with green trim...  Some Cacuasian and Asian features..."
<Sandwitches_> "And...  his teeth were wierd."
<Kaguko> "...What the hell?"
<AdventFalls> "I don't even."
<Sandwitches_> "Theres...  something you're missing though."  Grace smiles...  "Its something I think you might want.  A reason to not just destroy the ship, besides the captaives."
<Sandwitches_> "He kidnapped me *from my world*."
<AdventFalls> "...Come again?"
<Sandwitches_> "Zinyak has a Crossgate on his Mothership."
