~* An experiment. A creation. Mei’s hope of understanding this girl in order to learn what natural selection processes had made her was thrown out the window and replaced with something else. Disgust and sympathy. Disgust at those who would do this to someone. Anyone. Sympathy for her, whose birth caused her to be where she was. She, like anyone, deserved more than this. Than the life that should have only been saved for inanimate objects had to offer. It really riled her up.
~* Then she mentioned bird claws and her stomach dropped even further. “Talon…” She managed through a murmur, “You’re…an experiment by Talon? Those….Those-!”
~* Those bullies! They would do this. They would hurt someone like this. Her detestation for them seemed to grow. Snowball whirred worriedly, sensing the other’s dismay. Mei used it though, instead, as fuel for the rescue mission she faced. “Hold still, okay?” She whispered, “And then, when you feel it loosen, you’re going to have to make your way out of it. I’m not really that strong, but, I should be able to give you a chance. Snowball! Push the other side down a bit too, okay? I’m sorry…”
~* A beep of confirmation. Between the robot and Mei’s determination, she could hear the metal of the thing groan as it was forced open again. As it removed itself from its victim. Her arms shook with effort but she persisted, biting down on her lip in determination. They could speak about it later. First thing was first, she had to make sure that this girl was safe.
Bridge was about to respond and agree that were bullies, awful, evil brutes who created her and acted like her very existence could be something that could just be thrown away like trash. She could always be replicated, they made her once and they could make another.
But she knew. She knew it wasn’t so simple. They had made her, BR-57, and BR-298, her sister. She was their only successful offspring, living to adulthood. Her two year younger sister was not so fortunate, and had died at age 14. Replicating her was not so easy. They had tried to make her believe it was, but she had put everything together and realized it wasn’t. If it was easy, there would be more of her by now. Whatever she was, she was hard to breed, and so they kept her alive as best they could. That’s why they had bled so much money into keeping her as healthy as possible with various expensive, one of a mind medications. That was why they still confined and conditioned her with shock collars and food being taken away, but never brought her to the brink of death. They couldn’t afford to lose her.
Before she could say anything or let her mind wander any further, she saw that they were working on the trap. Her stomach jolted a little, squeezing at someone she didn’t know getting close, but she pushed past it and just allowed Mei to work on the trap.
She pulled away from it was soon as her foot was released, naturally jerking a bit and crying out with pain. Her panic was quickly over and she started flapping her wings with excitement and delight. She was free! She got to live! She was practically vibrating with happiness and glee as she looked at Mei, on all fours. She didn’t care about the lines of blood seeping along her foot.
“You f-freed me! Oh th-thank-you! Thank-you th-thank-you!” She chuffed happily, a strange sound similar to that a happy tiger would make. It was a result of the animals dna being sewed into her own. Her tail also wagged furiously.
“I-is there anything I c-can do to repay you?” She asked with a smile.
