of Battle: AD7 &#8211; Awakening #5"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>AD7&#8217;s\u00a0body was stiff, cold.\u00a0 Royal could see why Cyd described her as a mannequin.\u00a0 She felt AD7\u2019s skin; it did not feel at all like a living person.\u00a0 Her eyes locked in horror, were still looking in the same direction.\u00a0 At least she wasn\u2019t looking in their direction anymore.<\/p>\n<p>After marking her location in the computer system, Cyd signaled the retrieval network and walked GarDNAnge1\u00a0back to the lobby.\u00a0 There was another employee there now.\u00a0 He saw them all and gave a questioning look.\u00a0 It seemed as though patrons were not usually allowed in the back room.\u00a0 However, the worker was busy with other patrons.\u00a0 He did not have time to ask about them.\u00a0 Cyd lead them around the counter and into the employee area.<\/p>\n<p>By the time they reached the reanimation area, AD7\u2019s body was being prepared.\u00a0 They could see her through the window that separated them from the recovery room.\u00a0 Large machines surrounded her.\u00a0 They scanned her body for the most likely places to monitor her vitals.\u00a0 Once found, small devices attached themselves to her.<\/p>\n<p>The group was surrounded by machines too.\u00a0 These machines read her vitals to make sure everything about her reanimation went well.\u00a0 Cyd directed them to stand in a corner where they would not be in the way.\u00a0 With all the machines and information around them, it seemed like he would need help, until they saw him at work.<\/p>\n<p>He hovered around all the controls with expert precision, mumbling slightly to himself.\u00a0 \u201cMachine retrieval complete.\u00a0 Alright, vital scanners in position?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>It made since what he was talking about.\u00a0 There was obviously an order to this process.\u00a0 They looked at AD7 through the window.\u00a0 Her body was still in the same position.\u00a0 However, she was hanging by her legs with her back towards the ground.\u00a0 The machines had a hold of her joints and supported her back.\u00a0 Monitors were stuck to her head, fingers, and feet.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTissue relaxer,\u201d he said while pushing a few buttons on another control panel.\u00a0 AD7\u2019s muscles relaxed at his final tap on the machine.\u00a0 Slowly at first, then they suddenly went completely limp.\u00a0 She laid hanging by the machines grip for a short while.\u00a0 Cyd rushed to another machine where he used the controls to lay her down softly.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFluid replacement.\u201d\u00a0 The machines that held her arms for so long retracted back to the walls.\u00a0 They were replaced by other machines with needles.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOh Kay,\u201d Cyd said with ease.\u00a0 Clearly in his element he looked at Royal, \u201cPrincess was it?\u00a0 There is a red lever on the machine right next to you.\u00a0 When I give you the signal, I need you to raise it slowly.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Royal looked at Tirzah for permission.\u00a0 Tirzah instead had the other two back away from Royal slightly giving her the distance she needed.<\/p>\n<p>Royal found the lever and held it, \u201cI\u2019m ready.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The needles pierced her skin a little at a time.\u00a0 Cyd was very careful.\u00a0\u00a0 Obviously this was a delicate step.\u00a0 He gave Royal the signal and she obeyed his order to the letter. \u00a0AD7&#8217;s body showed notable difference as blood and water filled their places.\u00a0 It became thicker and looked much more like a living person\u2019s.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBlood pressure is optimal,\u201d he said working levers of his own, \u201cWater is also optimal.\u00a0 Thanks Princess, please lower the lever.\u201d\u00a0 Royal nodded as she obeyed.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLower level brain functions reboot,\u201d at this she received light electric shocks from the table.\u00a0 It seemed odd until the machines monitoring her circulation and brain functions started beeping.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHeart rate, circulation, brain activity, alright,\u201d Cyd said turning to them quite pleased, \u201cwe\u2019re done.\u00a0 She will be quite disoriented for a while.\u00a0 Please try not to push her too hard.\u00a0 Make sure she drinks plenty of water.\u00a0 She will have a great deal of lost memories.\u00a0 Her brain was almost completely destroyed when they picked her up, but items from her past could remind her of who she was.\u201d\u00a0 The machines beeped again.\u00a0 This time Cyd seemed surprised.\u00a0 \u201cShe\u2019s regaining consciousness faster than normal.\u00a0 It should be only a little time before she\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAaiiiiaaaah!!\u201d\u00a0 Cyd was cut off by a blood curling scream.\u00a0 AD7 was awake and seemed to have had a terrible dream.\u00a0 Her hands and legs instinctively went back to the sitting position as she screamed.\u00a0 She looked to the left expecting to see something.\u00a0 Then her limbs lay back onto the table.\u00a0 Her eyes focused and confused, were now conscious of the world around her.\u00a0 \u201cHow did?\u00a0 What?\u00a0 Where am I?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Cyd handed Tirzah a microphone.\u00a0 She used it to speak with AD7, \u201cMadam Aa Dee Seven.\u00a0 We are team Guardian Angel.\u00a0 We humbly request your aid.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Champions of Battle: AD7 \u2013 Awakening #1\" href=\"https:\/\/sonsofsword.com\/?p=33\">#1<\/a> &#8211;\u00a0<a title=\"Champions of Battle: AD7 \u2013 Awakening #4\"
