"How do I know I can trust you if I can't see you?" I asked. The figure didn't answer. All he said was: "Kane is wrong. Vanatide makes you all dreamy, like you were when you inhaled that smoke. Vonatide is the gas that makes you tell the truth". What?! "Geez. Whoever named those was a complete dumbass" I thought aloud. "Kane got them confused" said the figure. Turning to Kane, he said "Fauna inhaled Vanatide. It makes you, well, basically drunk" Kane stayed silent while he thought this over. Realisation shone in his eyes "So... you do really love me?" Kane gasped. I nodded. Kane breathed a sigh of relief as I turned to the figure. "How do you know all this?" I asked suspiciously "I've been working with such substances for a long time. I've also been following you" that last sentence made me jump. What was this guy, a stalker? The figure laughed "I'm no stalker" he said. Crap, why do I keep saying this stuff out loud?!
"I've heard you want to find your parents" said the figure. I nodded "Well then, I can tell you where to find out the information you need". I felt my spirits rise. This guy knew where we could find our parents! My heart jumped for joy. "Although I'm forbidden to release such information, I can give you a clue. There is a secret company called INTERCOM that holds data files on every genetically engineered being ever made" the figure explained. "Where is it?" I asked excitedly "Where?". The figure shook his head "As I said before, I'm forbidden to tell you. But I can give you a clue, which is this: Find the captain of the ship. Go below decks and you'll find your destination. The circus leads the way". What?! What the bloody hell was that supposed to mean??!! I asked him but he said no more. Idiot.
The figure was quick to change the subject. "I've been following you and the group for a while now" he continued. I clenched my fists. Someone was following us? Now I was curious and suspicious at the same time. I also grew slightly nervous. "You were made, you grant that, yes?" "Obviously" I replied. As if I didn't need to be reminded that I grew up in a lab while being experimented on. "Well, you were created for a reason" "Yes, we were created to be guinea pigs so they could fill us up with other DNA!" I shouted. I thought I saw the figure hold up his hands in fright. I have that effect on people. What? We're not the most sociable creatures on the planet. "No no. It's much more than that. You were created for a specific purpose. They wouldn't just create a miracle like you just for no reason" the figure said. I paused, trying to figure out whether to take this as an insult or not. The figure continued "They made you, so they could use you for their plan," "What plan is that?" Kane butted in. "They're planning to take over the world.". I snorted "Good luck with that" I said. The figure shook it's head, clearly getting aggravated "No, no. You don't understand. They want to use you in their plan. You are the key to their plan succeeding."
"You were created...
...to lead the world to victory"
