"Does it say what they were going to do with us once they were done? I know I probably don't want to know, but I guess I do."
Zoe curled up on the couch and listened to the others eat and talk. She was tired, the adrenaline wearing off. She wondered if she should be tired. She had spent 90 years asleep after all.

"The files did not specify anything, however I have several theories, none of them pleasant."
Dorian came back in with a mug of what smelled like coffee, and alexander thanked him as he took it. "now, I'm sure you have questions."

"A lot. But I'm tired and my brain hasn't quite caught up with me. I guess the first question for me is, what happened to me? I didn't look like this when I went in. Did they do something to us? To make us like this? Why my hair, my ears?"
Zoe stroked her hair and touched her ears as she spoke, trying to emphasize her point. She was confused, wondering if they wanted the test subjects to adjust to the new world. Or maybe they didn't. What if this was just natural?

"when magic returned to the world, it brought about lots of changes, some people change into different meta-human species around puberty or are born that way. you obviously had some genetic marker or something that made the returning magic change you into an elf. like myself and miss Mach over there."

"So I'm like out of the fairy tales? I'm never going to die, can't get sick?"
Other than what she had read in her books growing up she really didn't know much about magic. Now she waa going to be living in a world full of it. My how things had changed.

"you can be killed, and from what several sources of mine tell, we can live a long time or practically forever in some very specific cases."

"Only thing I remember so far is being accepted for an experimental program, where chances of survival were low. At that time, I didn't care. It was military, or this. I was tired of it all, no family, other than the Army. To me it was yesterday, I just got frozen. It is as if time didn't pass, as if being here is instant. It is still allot to take in. I think I am experiencing shock of some sort, so forgive me if I am not exactly acting appropriate."
It was so freaky, I feel like it was yesterday, or just a few hours ago. No dreams, not even time, like just a moment ago I was put under, and instantly, numbing cold and needles, I wake to this. My brain must have been sleeping too.
"Zoe, I am trying, it is slowly coming back. But I can't say why you or anyone would be taken against their will. I am sorry you were."
"And you said magic. What do you mean magic ? My appearance, it could jaunt be part of the experiment as far as I am concerned. You can tell me. For all I know, you could all be part of the experiment, and just testing us. How woul ld we know that you are part of the researchers conducting the experiment, and just seeing how we would react ? Forgive me, Zoe, how would I know if you are part of them. As in, aiding in their experiment to see how I react to a fellow Popsicle in destress, as they seem to call us, and just be testing me ? I can't tell, but dudes and chicks, if it is, I signed up for it, so do continue with the research, just don't screw he experiments up, dammit. It is most likely important. But if I exposed anything, I go do dent fu k it all up by being aware about it all, if I am not supposed to be aware."

"Magic is back in the world. and by magic I mean spells, spirits, creatures, monsters and everything in between." he took a sip of the coffee. "there are people who can use magic to cast rituals, spells, enchantments and astrally project themselves. others can focus magic into their physical abilities, making them stronger, faster, more capable." "Pete was our mage. stupid bugger, I always told him to bring a gun but he never did. 'Always geek the mage' is the first rule of modern combat." Gren spoke.

"Mine's a bit fuzzy, but I mostly remember. I'm still trying to get my head around living a really long time. And my hair being gray. Or white or whatever. I guess I'll have to dye it, or shave it off. Always wanted to try that.
Zoe finished her food, glad for the full stomach and the information. The question remained though: What were they going to do now? No one would believe they had been in cryo-whatever for 90 years. How was she going to get caught up with the world? Find a way to live in this new world?

"So, what am I supposed to be like ?" Apparently, I (Who will be Nameless, due to memory loss, for now) am different from them.

"a good possibility is that you are what is known as a changling. when Haley's comet came round back in the 2060's people were changed by what we now call the surge. essentially genetic mutations and additions to the dna via magic. there is an entire sub-culture with changelings now, with people from just having natural cat eyes, tails and more to being bird people, cat people and lizard men to name a few."
he leaned back, taking another sip of coffee. "now, you may be wondering what will come of you now, what you will be able to do now in your future."

"Not really, I just want to know what the duck a chaingly, or whatever you said I am supposed to be. And I would like to try some coffee, my gosh I have t had coffees for years. I mean, for 90 and something years. Even before freezing up for 90 years of storage and forgotten, had no coffee since before the Army. Imagine that." Takes a slice of pizza. "Is what I am supposed to be illegal or something ? You all are related to human type things, what the hell am I related to ? Birds ? Lizzards ? Am I supposed to be able to fly ?"

"no, you aren't illegal, and you aren't related to birds or lizards. the surge mutated people with certain genetic potentials, I'm not exactly an expert on the subject. frankly I did not even expect that one of you could have turned into a changeling. I only expected the possibility of one of you being changed into of the metahuman types or sub-species."
Dorian came in with several cups of coffee. Real coffee. and handed them out. He turned to Zoe. "Miss, would you also like a coffee, tea, or perhaps a hot chocolate?"

"Zoe. Are you ok ? You seem quiet."

Zoe had slipped into her own thoughts, and was pulled back into the real world by the two people asking her questions. She blinked and then responded, remembering that she'd been asked about what she wanted to drink.
"Oh! Um, I'm sorry. I had drifted off there. Coffee would be great, just a little sugar in it please?"
