Artificial Countryhuman Part 1

"Oh my god you think it would learn by now," Harrison chuckled, "30 times in the past three days and it still struggles, so stupid."

"At least its stupidity gives us some form of entertainment," Norman said, "guess it's not totally useless after all, shock it again, I want to see how loud it can scream."

6801 whimpered in horror as the scientist smiled maliciously and walked to his computer to type the command, she squeezed her eyes shut to prepare for the next wave of pain when an alarm blared and red lights flashed.

Warning, security breach, facility compromised by law enforcement, initiate evidence disposal immediately

"WHAT," the man screamed, "how did they find us?"

"Sir what do we do, we don't have the necessary means to terminate the subject," Harrison exclaimed.

Norman wasn't able to give an answer as then the laboratory door burst open and people wearing bulky black clothes rushed in and held the two men at gunpoint.  6801 was shocked and confused, what was going on, why were the security guards pointing their guns at the two men and not at her.

"What is that," one of the security guards asked, "is that a countryhuman?"

"Oh god, it's a countryhuman child," another guard said, "Fredric, go get the Director, he's going to want to see this."

One of the guards left, 6801 was even more confused, the director was standing right there in front of everyone, who were they getting?  She watched as the scientist and his boss were put into handcuffs and taken outside, the new people, who she was beginning to think weren't security guards, just stood around and talked amongst themselves, seemingly unsure of what to do.  A few of the people tried talking to her, asking her questions while they tried to open the door to her cell, she just growled at them; confused, scared, and defensive is all she had learned to be, so that's how she would be with these new people too.

Several minutes later a new person came in, but this time there was something different, he wore the same bulky clothes and the same helmet covering his face, but two large things were sticking out of his back.  They were black, white, and blue, and had feathers like she had on her wings and tail, but they couldn't be wings, there were only two, wings come in fours, right?

"Sweet mother of Mandoria," the person said, horror evident in his voice, which surprised 6801, "what have these people been doing here?"

The person walked closer to her and she growled threateningly, making them stop, surprising her again.  Then, the stranger grabbed his helmet and took it off, 6801 stared in shock at what was under it.  His face was strange, it was multicolored but the colors and pattern were wrong, the right half of his face was all black with a strange red and gold pattern around his eye, while the left was split horizontally with the top half being white and the bottom was red, his left eye was weird too, the white part of it was black.

"Hey there sweetie, it's ok, I'm not going to hurt you," he said softly, which his tone of voice confused her, let alone what he said.  He placed a hand on the glass and smiled, it was a gentle smile, not the malicious ones she was used to, it creeped her out a little.  "What's your name honey, can you tell me that?" he asked.

6801 furrowed her brows in confusion, no one had bothered to give her a name, let alone ask her what it was, so why was he?

"That thing doesn't have a name," the voice of Norman said from outside.

The strange person's face changed to one that 6801 was much more familiar with, anger.  He turned away from her and nodded to one of the others he was with, to which they responded by going out and bringing in Norman, pushing him in front of the stranger.
