.:Blank:.
A white rat smaller than most, sat confined, his surroundings walls of metal, the only source of light came from air holes punched at the top of the rounded chamber but the light was so little that he could only truly see the detail of his metallic prison with the blue flash of electricity which surged every now and then through the wires protruding from is head. he didn’t bother to try and escape common sense told him this place was designed to block his abilities, during a fight with his beloved brother, one of the crafty humans that worked in the facility had watched the fight and seen blank through the blue rat without touching him, that human quickly alerted others and shale and his rather-who had escaped their enclosures were quickly locked up again, only this time Blank was kept somewhere where he could be monitored daily, his ability , though the humans only caught a glimpse-had sparked there interest in him none the less and now he was a constant guinea pig, with the cylinder he was caged in attached to a machine which constantly kept track of brain waves and heart beats. However their was one advantage he had to being tapped here, this machine was only in the lab and thus this allowed him to always be paying attention to what the scientists were up to and even more so, every new rat brought in to be testing on before returning to the holding area, often after experimentation blank would whisper through his confine trying to speak to the rats still coming round from anesthetic –as on a long day some rats would be left in the test area to save time, now, if blank could just get one of those rats to ear him out, or perhaps if they were a follower of shale’s convert them. But so far all attempts had been not so successful and the only thing he looked forward to from day to day was his rations of tasteless food and the promise of chatter from his followers brought in for testing, though most of the time not much chatter was shared as not many rodent while in pain feel like conversing
None the less, Blank would look forward to hearing the voices of his fellow rodents and hearing their screams only fueled his hatred towards humanity.

::Rift::
The billowing of a long, white coat announced the arrival of a new test subject. The gloved hands clutched a trembling rat, its scarred face whipping right and left in pure panic. Without much empathy, the scientist plopped the shaking rodent down into a bright, metal chamber. Lights were set up along the side.
Rift hated this experiment especially. Though it was the least strenuous, it mocked the fact that he could not see, and this failed synthetic piece of plastic that these humans had jammed into his eye socket. Its sickly yellow plastic color was starting to develop veins along it, showing signs of a soon to be infection. But this scientists insisted, testing, in cruel hope the eye will work.
Flash! there goes the first light, followed by another, then another, all in rapid fire succession. The idea was to get the synthetic eye to react, to flicker, anything. All this really did was boggle Rift's mind, and stress him out. He whimpered, trembling, but dared not to curl in a ball. If he did, the scientists would prod him with a zapper to encourage him to keep standing.
Finally, just to no longer suffer this torture, he flicked his head with the eye, to mimic it working. The flashes stopped, and the scientists stepped out, to discuss this new development. Only then did Rift flop over, panting heavily, working eye bloodshot.
He lifted his head weakly moments later, and his heart stopped cold, both with fear and hope. Blank was in a test chamber just a few feet away! His whiskers quivered, debating whether or not he should greet the dangerous fellow rat. He did have an interesting tidbit on how to delay experiments, not forever, but long enough...
Conquering his fears, he stood up on his hind legs, and nodded a greeting to Blank, not daring to squeak out loud, in fear that the scientists would hear.

.:Blank:.
Blank had been startled from his thoughts by the sound of a new test subject being brought in.
he scurried to the edge on the container to peer out and see the commotion, he was just quick enough to glance the tail of a fellow rat as it was lowered into a metallic chamber.
Blank watched intently as the experiment began, gap in which he was able to just fit his nose through didn’t do much for a good view but though the chamber he was in suppressed his powers it did not stop them entirely and though he couldn’t see the rat he could ‘feel’ the events that were happening, he watched the test take place with a cold hatred as usual, but then something caught his attention, though he couldn’t be certain he was sure that rat had just fooled those furless beings into believing his bionic eye was picking up light in order to escape the test…any rat who could fool the furless ones like that was admirable.
So as the rat was placed on the examining table within blanks view and the rodent decided to acknowledge him. Though he daren’t speak out loud blank used the easiest way of communication he could think of and a skill he was known for ‘telepathy.
‘Greetings, fellow survivor or the furless ones torments’ he spoke in a slow and calm matter, but there was also something else in his voice, a slick coldness prehaps? or something sinister... ‘ How do things fair on outside of this room?

The door opened to the experimenting room and a large white coated furless creature came out with a confidment cage in hand, a large looking brown rat with white specks on his neck back and stomach was inclosed in who was baring its teeth at the experimentist. The Human put the rat in the cage next to blank. The rat instantly bit the Humans hand making the human cry out. The human hit the rat to the back of the cage and shut the door.
The rat got up moments later and shook its head to clear it, clearly it had just awaked from been sedated, the odd thing was is that this rat had two metal back legs and a bandage round the base of its tail. It crimson blood like eyes studied the room.
"where the hell am i now" The rat grumbled. It had scars amongst its rough fur but nothing like its metal legs, that seemed to have dried blood on them.

Rift tried to regain composure as he slowly realized that Blank had not spoken aloud, rather, had spoken directly in his mind. he realized that speaking aloud was no longer a necessity; he could broadcast his thoughts in his mind, and Blank could hear them with his telepathy skills.
"As good as you'd think," he replied. "Rats dropping off right and left, due to overstrain, failure in surgeries, we lost two last night. However, I did witness something interesting.
Before he continued, he tried to still his whiskers. Damn this shake! It was usually not this bad, but due to strain, he couldn't control it. He shook his pelt, trying to slow down his rapid beating heart.
"Two females were going to be tested on, but their surgeries were postponed due to pregnancy," Rift reported. How they became pregnant, I don't know, no male has spoken up. And they weren't forced experiment pregnancies either; they came from the brain activity section. I don't know if the pups have been taken by force yet, I think they still live.
His ears pricked with excitement. This may be a solution for postponing a female rat's torture!

The male rat heard rifts word and scented the air, he was near him at least. "i can't believe their actually testing on females.." He said in digust, "those damn humans" he grumbled

.: Holly:. Holly sat in the back of her cage, being carried into the room. She was used to this torture, and she knew where she was going... To room 158, as she had read off the sign sometime back. Her past experiences with humans obtained her some reading skills. However, her experiment wasn't all too bad. She couldn't imagine what the other rats went through one bit. Holly sighed slightly in her thoughts as she saw the door to the room open in front of her through the metal bars in front of her cage. The fur-less creature, the human, sat the cage down on the table. Holly thought that this would all be over sooner if she obeyed quietly. The little black rat with her various bloodstains crept up to the metal bars and waited for them to be opened by the human. The cage door opened and Holly stepped out, staring at the beast above her with familiarity. This was a scientist that had tested on her earlier. The human had overly reflective glasses, a lab-coat, a pen, and a clipboard. He picked up Holly and set her in a tiny glass box, with wires coming through the side. The scientist fiddled the wires into the little port and wires coming out of Holly's head. (NOTE: In real life, I'm not all that great at science so this explanation is going to be really vague.) Almost immediately a shock wave of pain went through Holly's entire body, spreading all the way up to her tail. This happened over and over, and she fell down and twitched a bit in reaction to the shock. The pain was almost unbearable, and she struggled to not pass out. However, as always, she did faint out of pain. When Holly woke up, her head pounding, her eyes were a different color again. The scientist had tried to change her previously black eyes to orange, but it had only worked slightly; her eyes were now a very dark orange, not the bright orange as anticipated. Holly dizzily looked up to see the scientist scribble something down with his eyes furrowed on the clipboard. He seemed to be absentminded as he picked up Holly and forced her into her cage while he wrote. The cage was thrown over next to Blank's, causing Holly to be thrown back to the back of the cage. She stayed there, motionless, trying to wait out the throbbing in her head. Fresh blood dripped from the place on her head where the wires protruding, running down her pelt. As always.

Noss raised his head and gazed at the female rat, luckily his cage was see through, he limped over to the side she was on and looked at her. "You alright?" he asked in his normal deep tone.

.: Holly:. Holly lifted her head dizzily to look through the metal bars of the cage, and tried to say "yes, I'm fine," which of course was a lie, but it came out as random syllables, because her mouth was numb from the experiment she had just taken part in.

"my name is noss" The brown and white flecked male squeaked to her. He limped forward an inch looking through the opaque window his back metal legs obviously hurting him, he had been a victim of a skin test and the formula they had put on his back legs had just violently melted them. These metal ones were placed brutally in their place to help him get around.

Holly, aware that her mouth was numb by this point, just stared at him with a sorry expression because she couldn't respond. She flicked her tail to the metal legs, indicating she wanted to know why they were there.

"i was apart of a skin treatment experiment.. the stuff they put on my back legs burned them away, so they gave me these in replacement" he told her looking at her trying to find out what they have done to her so far.

Holly held up her tail, asking him to give her a second, as she swirled her tongue around awkwardly trying to get her mouth to wake up. "Dosh ith hurth? she asked, her voice still slurred.

Noss managed to know what she was saying and lifted a back leg " sometimes they lock up and don't move, then it hurts, and they cut into my thighs from time to time, but never the less not much" He told her, He licked his white speckled chest with his left forepaw and gazed at her with his crimson red blood like eyes
