Zatland Zuallen

Zatland walked out of the store a got a little surprise, not far from him he saw Isaac's squinting his eye's, it was a face of complete horror, and in visualization, zatland couldn't help but imagine his body being dragged across the floor, while also leaving a blood trail when seeing him.

when Isaac squinted, those dark irregular eye's of his, Zatland flinched like a goose.

"ye." He whimpered, dropping down to his knees on the floor like a chimpanzee. He found an area with a ample foot traffic and no mini-skirts to hide under, just sitting between the legs of people as they went about their business.

He had targeted a high traffic market street for this. He changed his directions, with the crowd as they moved. Thank god they were still in a busy area of the base, if they walk only just an hour more east, it would be headquarters jurisdictive. It might have been easy to find assistance for help there, but Isaac would be seeing him.

to Zatland it was now not new to know that everything Isaac laid his eye's on; he would get, and if so why not, hide from his vision.

The only thing saving him now was that Isaac couldn't see him in a crowd. He now needed to go zig-zag Formation through the crowd to find his next destination.

Zatland, with his big six-foot stature, walked along the floor like a half-wild animal. Easily making his way into the crowd. It was like a lion stalking its prey through a field of heavy vegetation, The adaption drug made most of his body pretty evenly distributed strength wise, so making it move like a leopard took not much extra strain. he was pretty flexible as well.

In fact, he was more coordinated than when he was walking upright. Zatland was ambidextrous. And the adaptation drug made his muscle more evenly strengthen as they worked together.

He moved his massive body so fast that everybody he passes believed it was a big dog or some other creature moving between them. It was quite a horrifying occurrence actual, imagining a big animal running through or past your leg, without completely being able to notice it. Just the shadow of the animal would drive you crazy for a second, as your basic instinct to rescue yourself from a wild mauling, from a blind spot kicked in.

Yikes!

Everybody develops a quirky skill from adaptation, but Zatland had just thought of this one, moving like this, something clicked inside his mind that there may be an advantage in doing it this way... moving like this.

It was weird how he could still read the direction, and quickly dodge the bodies of other people, right now he was just looking past... their legs and he could move without getting in their way, it was weird, he had been feeling weird all morning, like his thoughts were speeding up, his eyes didn't even have to fully register what was in front of him anymore. .

What was happening to him? He was starting to feel like his brain was on drugs, the world around him kept getting brighter and faster.

Zatland quickly disappeared from the vicinity, and Isaac looked up losing him.

Isaac looked around through his watch confused, the crowd, he couldn't see any substantive rippling that meant a person justling through them.

That was the way in which he was following Zatland before this, especially with his heightened senses Isaac losing Zatland was near impossible.

If he couldn't see him, he could hear his breathing; if he couldn't hear him, he could read his aura.

But nothing, it was as if Zatland had just disappeared, that shouldn't be possible, this final test was rigged, not limiting his tracking ability as a soldier, Isaac would have caught Zatland soon enough. But what was this now?

He had just lost another rookie again?

Meanwhile, Zatland was just calming down from a sudden head rush. His vision had just gone white for a second. Yet, he just kept moving forward like he had been on autopilot, not missing a single step. He got even faster. He didn't even need to see, or hear, or perceive anything for a second.

What was that?

P.O.V Atheneum

[Khalib Zaullen: what was that just now? How did his brain processing all of a sudden speed up? I don't understand it?]

[Frenor Zaullen: it a side effect I think, we all had the Athenaeum, but we weren't soldiers, so we never had to deal with these levels of adrenaline and testosterone, and others. He's been shot, so he's losing blood. He's afraid of that Isaac fellow, and he's getting adrenaline from the excitement he's feeling. Also, he tipped his head down fast, creating an influx of blood flow to his brain.]

[Khalib Zuallen: So are you saying... it put him in a berserk state, combined with the athenaeum's altering?]

[Khalib Zuallen: is that stable? can we control that?]

[Frenor Zaullen: hmm... I don't know.]
