"Silence, if he tries shit again I can protect us. No worries! ...I'm pretty much the only one excited about this huh?" Kcin asked, standing up and loosening his muscles from being bound to the chair and those shocks... Brrrr...
"Although I aint too thrilled about working for Kitty..."
By the way, for those familiar with the first series of Yu-Gi-Oh! Kcin now officially looks like Katsuya Jounouchi/Joey wheeler
"Yes. We're all being moved, Me, you, Lanius, Tessla. We all got a new place to stay. I can't say much about rooms but you probably won't want to room with me, with no Infrareds to follow my every command I have to finish this project myself! Lotta long sleepless nights ahead."
Silence grips onto the other end and starts to help Kcin move the Jackbot, "And if we're lucky! Next time we get a job this Jackbot will be ready!"

A metal ball, about the size of a beach ball, rolls in. Balanced atop the ball is a small robot, featuring a large camera and several glowing lights. Greetings, new members of ACID. I'm Rolly-2-D-2! I've been assigned to your group to show you your new quarters. Please follow me.
Rolly-2-D-2 rolls out. It leads you down a long corridor, past several doors marked 'Pavlovian Conditioning Chambers', each labelled with a different letter. As you pass the door marked 'W', you hear an anguished but familiar sounding voice screaming.
Rolly-2-D-2 doesn't seem to notice and continues rolling.
Does anyone want to investigate the screaming, or continue to follow Rolly?
Rolly goes past the door marked 'Z' and comes to a door marked 'Residential Quarters 7-0-0'. The door opens to reveal a common lounge area with four doors leading otu from it. One door leads to a bathroom, the other three doors lead to small bedrooms, each featuring two beds. The lounge and bathroom are all decorated in red, while the three bedrooms are decorated in orange. Even inside, you can still hear the screaming, faintly.
Rolly rolls over to a corner of the lounge. "We have arrived! Please let me know if there's anything else I can do to help."
Lanius opens the W door. Inside is a heavy metal chair, bolted to the floor, facing a large video screen. A traumatized lookng figure is strapped to the chair, wearing a red jumpsuit. An IV line runs into his arm, and a large metal harness is strapped to his head. The harness forces him to keep his eyes open and staring at the screen.
On the screen, a PDF announcer is cheerfully explaining how important it is to be a productive and polite member of Alpha Complex. Meanwhile pictures of catastrophic disasters, various historical recordings of human beings torturing and killing other human beings, and images of wide eyed puppies flash on the screen.

Saint Laughter"Hey! Did I hear the door open over there? Is it time for my beating? The last one you gave me tickled, hey if you see the head-instigater tell him his grandma was in here giving shoulderrubs. But also I feel compelled to act towards group cohesion and unity through strength of companionship."

Lanius had been focusing on his paper to the exclusion of all else, and only just now registered their transferral. "Oh hell."
