I tried to move with a cool hand...
It didn't go as I planned.
I'm full of rookie maneuvers...
and gestures meant to be grand.
 "My daisy, you make me go crazy, forever amaze me.
Now let's let the day go lazy."Hiccadu took a few more moments, making sure of her analysis, before her ears flattened against her head and she turned back to Jared.
She shook her head slightly. Barely an inch from side to side.
"No," she replied before looking back the way she had been searching before turning her gaze back to Jared. "And if there was one, they're long gone now."
Picking up her feet as she spoke, she stalked past Jared and began to make her way back to his vehicle. "My daisy, you know what I'm after- your musical laughter.
A more beautiful disaster..."
I cant believe what you create...
When you let your heart detonate.
You leave a path of delightful destruction.
You're quite the bomb, my daisy... Daisy Cutter ~ 311

Apsalar kept attempting to break through the belt holding her wrists, but without the surges of anger and protectiveness that had gotten her moving before, the result was far more underwhelming. John had stopped screaming, but her keen hearing easily picked up his raw breathing. That made her calmer, however slightly.
The panic ratcheted right back up again when she spotted Smoke coming back to her with the needle.
No, no, no no no no no no no!
She was not getting stuck with that thing. The cutting was one thing. She could live with that. It didn't hurt too much, once the body got used to it. But the quick stabs with the needle were always worse. Writhing and twisting, she tried to keep her arms away from it.
The fact that she was mid-struggle when he got her with it probably didn't help. Her entire arm up to the shoulder went numb for a few seconds - just long enough for Apsalar to turn her head and stare at Smoke. What did you just do to me?
The sedative took effect too fast for her to do more than turn that accusing stare to him - she had lost a lot of blood, and was in all likelihood now a concussion patient, both factors that sped up and intensified the effects of the drug. Her amber eyes went filmy, then darkened, and at last, reluctantly they closed.
For a while at least, Apsalar was lost in blissful oblivion.

Smoke sighed and took the needle out, throwing it away but saving the syringe. Battling against a Chimera of her strength wasn't easy for even a short amount of time, and she was disoriented, restrained, and weakened from blood loss. He wouldn't want to have to fight one of these things on his own for any amount of time.
Retrieving the needle from the boiling water, Smoke held it in his hand, waiting for it to cool before he stitched her up. There was a sterile gauze he dipped the needle in, so it would slide into Apsalar's skin easier and it wouldn't rip her up while he stitched her back together. Then he got to work, standing up over her without bothering with a surgical mask. It wasn't like he was going to drool on her or anything.
Unwarned, Panther started stumbling on dry leaves and unearthed tree roots as Jared's attention broke off from the foliage and pulled her towards his car. He clicked some kind of button on a device not much bigger than a skipping stone and the back of the car opened in an unmoving yawn. He tossed her into it easily--she didn't weigh much because her bones were hollow--and tied her ankles before slamming the back shut.
Panther immediately flew into a panic as the light diminished entirely. Even when she had been in the slaughterhouse, machines and whirring things still caught the light, even gave off little dots of red light sometimes. But here was completely silent and utterly dark.
Until Jared started the car. She felt the engine rev from somewhere ahead of her, and then the car started moving, rolling over tree roots and low branches, jarring her teeth.
She curled up with her back pressed against a side of the trunk, but the net interfered with her wings and made her even more uncomfortable than she already was. Feathers shook as she shuddered, and her breath came in small gasps with every bump the car rolled over. It'd be a long ride back to the slaughterhouse.
Jared handled the wheel, expertly dodging trees and the like. It would be a short drive to the slaughterhouse, now that their objective was complete.

((I don't think I did. Let's just say her stitches popped when she fell over))
Devon walked back over to the table where Apsalar was. He let John rest on his table since the scientists were here now and they could operate. "Thanks for that. She must have popped her stitches out when she fell" Devon said. The scientists began to prepare for the operation. Devon wheeled the surgical tool tray over and prepped the surgical light over Apsalar's body. He marked a different section on where he was going to cut into her body. This cut would be in the stomach area, not over the other organs. He made sure not to upset the new stitches that 'Smoke' was putting in.
The fact that Apsalar was unconcscious made Devon feel that the surgery would be easier since she wouldn't be able to lash out, but the sadist deep inside him wished she was awake so he could see the reaction she would give as they cut he open and began cleaning out her stomach and digestive system as well as remove the infected areas.

Hiccadu followed at a loping gallop, leaping over fallen logs and skirting around trees.
When the slaughter house came into sight however, her speed increased until she passed the car and she leaped up into the air, her wings catching the wind and letting her sail towards her home, her tail opening like a fin to allow her to glide easier.
She was headed home.

Jared watched from behind the glass window as Hiccadu took off and leapt into the air, catching the wind beneath bio-engineered wings. For one small moment, he understood how his father felt that these animals were incredible creatures.
Then the moment passed, and he was himself again, a curious little boy that didn't mind experimenting on things for his own amusement.
He pulled into the underground parking lot that was hidden from view from the outside world. They had to have somewhere for the scientists to put their cars without them being found by unwanted visitors.
He parked in a separate garage, then called TAIS to return Panther to her cage while he went to his room to take a shower.

Apsalar didn't even twitch when they began the operation. She felt no pain. There was just a blissful, silent darkness, where she felt warm and not afraid in the slightest. And it was worth repeating that there was no pain.
This was probably the best time she'd had since she'd been born. Well, created if you wanted to be all specific about it, but since she had been alive, this was the safest, happiest place she could remember being. It wouldn't hurt her feelings any if she had to stay here for a while. In fact, she would quite happily stay under forever.
If this was death, she could understand her siblings deserting her for it. She was almost tempted to do the same. Leave her packmates to fend for themselves. Hadn't she already done her part, shown them that Yani could bleed too, could be hurt too? And if he could, then any of the scientists could.
So thinking, in the mostly-dreaming way of the unconscious or comatose, Apsalar remained in the dark, totally oblivious to anything and everything the scientists were doing to her.

Devon and the other scientists continued the cleaning of the digestive system as well as the removal of the damaged parts. Devon simply used a grafter to take off the bad parts without having to cut out the flesh. He had to be careful of the stomach acid. That could burn right through his gloves and into his hands. Two scientists handled the stomach acid control.

"My daisy, you make me go crazy, forever amaze me.
Now let's let the day go lazy." ((Where's John?))
Panther was nonchalantly thrown into her cage, the bindings released from her arms and legs, but the netting around her wings being 'forgotten'.
Hiccadu entered the room where the Chimerae, practically almost skipping, such a bounce in her step she had.
Prancing down the isle, she reached Panther's cage and gave the girl a violent, malicious hiss that to Hiccadu, registered as playful.
"Heehee," she purred, her tail curling as the fan unfurled and snapped closed repeatedly in her excitement. "I can't wait until you see the look on your pathetic little love-dove's face when he finally recovers and sees you before you're punished. So much for making him proud. Haha, pathetic little girl!"
Hitting her tail against the bars of the cage hard enough to send it sliding backwards a few inches (which again was a tap Hiccadu classified as 'playful'), Hiccadu - with another giggle - picked up her feet again and pranced away from Panther's cage and out of the room. "My daisy, you know what I'm after- your musical laughter.
A more beautiful disaster..."

((Sorry Shadow xD
And sorry Devon, for taking away your choice of experiment ;D))
Smoke watched the operation until the scientists were finished, at which point he wheeled the Chimera out of the experimentation room and back into the Chimerae storage chamber. She was strapped down, stitched up, and there was still a little dried blood around her sewn up stomach. Hopefully she could recover the blood she lost in her cage.
He passed Hiccadu with the metal gurney, continuing on through the door and into the storage room. The sedative would wear off soon, and he wanted Apsalar in her cage before then.
Panther, who had only felt terror until now, began crying. She didn't know where John had gone, the cage beside her where John usually was smelled like blood, and it was empty now, and to top it all off, she had failed. Again. John got caught, and that was her fault. Now she got caught as well, without even a plan in motion to get him and her kin out of there. She'd failed, even when John got her and other Chimerae out, even when he'd told Rei and Lyall to look after her.
Failed.
She curled up in the back of her cage, not even bothering with the nets, sobbing quietly.
((John is in the experimentation room, with Devon and a few other scientists. Let's say the scientist Luke Mason is there as well [NPC, check front page].))
