Dr. Evans: injects a serum into your arm Feel anything aberrant?
observes StarHunter closely Good, that means it's working. Follow me.
leads StarHunter to a dimly lit room with advanced machinery We're going to observe your enhanced abilities under controlled conditions.
points to a machine This is an electroencephalograph. It will measure your brain activity and response times.
We're going to test your cognitive functions, particularly your reaction time and decision-making under stress.
sets up a simulated environment with flashing lights and sounds
looking concerned Is this safe?
Don't worry, StarHunter. The environment is completely simulated and harmless.
hesitant but intrigued Alright, I'll do it.
starts the simulation, observing StarHunter's reactions closely Good, now focus on the task at hand.
focused, reacting quickly to the stimuli This is... intense.
noting down data Excellent response time, StarHunter. Now let's move on to the next phase of the test.
Now we're going to test your ability to adapt to changing situations. Watch closely.
focused, ready for the next challenge I'm ready.
During the next phase of the test, the simulation becomes unexpectedly chaotic. The lights flicker and the sounds become overwhelming, causing StarHunter to experience a moment of disorientation.
panicking slightly What's happening?!
quickly intervenes, adjusting the settings It seems the simulation is malfunctioning.
frightened Are we in danger?
Don't worry, StarHunter. I have it under control. activates a failsafe, shutting down the simulation
relieved but shaken That was... unsettling.
examines the damaged machinery It seems there was a glitch in the system.
worried So, what does this mean for the experiments?
It means we need to be more cautious in our approach.
nodding Agreed. We can't afford any more malfunctions.
I have a team working on fixing the glitch, but in the meantime, we'll have to scale back our experiments.
understanding Alright, I understand. Safety first.
In the meantime, I think it would be beneficial for you to undergo some additional testing outside of the simulated environment.
We can conduct physical tests to gauge your strength and agility, as well as psychological evaluations to assess your mental resilience.
nodding Alright, I'm willing to do whatever it takes to ensure our safety.
leads StarHunter to a physical training room equipped with various athletic equipment Here we have a treadmill for endurance testing, and over there is the grip strength analyser.
looking around This place looks thorough. What's next?
Next, we'll need to conduct a comprehensive psychological evaluation.
We'll use a combination of methods, including cognitive tests and emotional assessments.
