When we got home you would have thought we got home from war, in the way everyone made a big deal. What didn't help was the four tier dos's behind us.

"Now what do we do?" Wilbur asks as any coherent Dream SMPers had also waited for us.

"We wait for a court hearing, then we move to a trial," I reply. "This could take quite a long time."

"And what about them?" Stress asks.

"We go about our normal lives," False says shrugging. "The best we can."

------------

The next day X and I decided we would spend the day researching Vex's and most importantly where this facility is. Not only do we have to put the Vex's we have on trial but we have to get rid of any future threats.

Vex's had always been a problem but we had never heard of them experimenting on subjects. Knowing now what we do this operation needs to come to a stop, now. We entered the Admin facility data room summoning all files that contain the word Vex or a similar species. Vex has been known as Sirens and is known to worship the Lochness Monster so those are also keywords we have used as well.

While X went over files I went to the public library doing the same thing. After the words started to swirl and my mind grew foggy X and I came together to share notes. We figured out they are a result of Notch experimenting with what he can create in the early days before Aurora was born and order was brought. They are a Monarchy with their current ruler King Titus who is known for slaughtering all he sees to the point that even his subjects fear him. That's how he stays in the reign the fear they have of him.

That brought some questions as to why the Lab was created. So there's our first question. "Why was the Lab created"

Another few interesting things are that there are no records of a lab but a lot of kidnapping points to be potentially at the hand of the Vex. There's no for sure way of knowing, not even searching their minds could tell us because that's a lot of minds we would have to search, that's too much time wasted.

That's the next question "How many are missing because of them?" That's a forever ongoing question.

Then of course we find that Titus is the only immortal Vex, thus the only King that has ruled the Vex. There's another question, "How many Vex are there, and are they all a threat?"

And of course, how do we deal with this threat for the good of Minecraft. I don't want to just kill the Vex, but we don't have enough space to hold them either. We were still trying to figure out what to do with the Watchers anyway. So yes they were still locked up, and no we have no idea what to do with them.

(Not me creating more potential storylines)

After hours of work pouring through any written down information, nothing note-worthy had been found. Now the dirty side of finding information, interrogation. Skylar would be performing this, after learning that Zander had taught her what he called the art of manipulation and torture. After being through her torture myself I can safely say that she knows what she's doing.

X and I would be behind a two-way mirror taking down notes. We would also be making sure they wouldn't die, in case they hadn't reset their spawn in the prison.

----------

Skylar calmly sat across from the main leader who hasn't disclosed her name.
"There are two options for today. Option 1. A lie detector, magically enhanced. Option 2. The physical way, it's your choice."

"I won't be saying anything, you little rat!" The woman hissed.

"Alright, Option 2. I was hoping you would choose that." Skylar slyly smiles. The woman just raises an eyebrow.

"You won't be respawning back home anytime soon," Skylar adds still smiling coyly.

"Nothing you could do could break me," The woman smirks. "Bring. It. On"

"I've broken a Prime before, I can break you." Skylar laughs as she snaps on latex gloves. "Trust me I know what I'm doing."

"For every question, you do not answer I am going to stick an iron needle into your hand." Skylar calmly explains as she straps the woman to her metal chair.

"For every question, you answer wrong I am going to take this leather punch and punch holes right into your forearm." Skylar continues as she opens a file.

"We will begin with a few simple questions. What is your name?"

"Andrea Scott."

"Alright, Age?"

"32."

"Purpose of being here?"

"Apreheanding subject 77 and 135."

Skylar frowned. "Now I don't like the word apprehending, so you're going to get a needle anyway." She carefully picked up a four-inch iron needle that was uncomfortably thick. She stabbed the needle into Andrea's left hand until it hit the iron armchair on the other side. Andrea's face was impassive but her eyes screamed with pain.

"I like you, Andrea, but that's not your name. Your, associate already leaked your name. Celeste." Skylar says grabbing the punch "I get it, names are a big deal in Vex traditions. It doesn't matter you lied."

"Who was it?" Celeste growled.

"I guess Dominic doesn't do well with pain," Skylar shrugged. "He cracked in a minute."

"That bastard." Celest hisses right before the punch punches a quarter-inch hole in her forearm Celeste scrunched her eyes shut.

"Alright next question." Skylar continues. "Where is King Titus located?"

"I'm not telling you that." Celeste spat.

"Alright." Skylar shrugged before sticking another needle.

"Let's try again. Where is King Titus?" Skylar asks.

"Go to the Watchers bitch."

"Been there done that," Skylar says sticking another needle. "We'll come back to that."

"Next question. How do you get to the Lab?"

Celeste seemed to debate her options. "Above the original nether."

"Good, an answer but we already knew that, how do you get to it?"

"Ice compass," Celeste whispered.

"Perfect, now where is King Titus?"

"I can't say." Celeste shrugged.

"What do you mean you can't say?"

"I mean I don't know where he is," Celeste says narrowing her eyes.

"Fair. But who would know?"

"Just the royal family and their guards," Celeste says. It surprised X and Bella how easy the questions were being answered. With their magic, they knew Celeste wasn't lying.

"Who are members of the royal family?"

"King Titus, Queen Karina, and their daughter Princess Meridith," Celeste answers gulping. "Meridith is innocent I swear, so is her mother, forced by the king!"

I glanced at X who raised an eyebrow, hardly noticeable through the visor but I could see it.

"What about the Vex kingdom? Are they innocent?" Skylar asks. Skylars back is turned to us at this point with a hand placed on the table supporting her.

"Mostly innocent. Everyone's given a test when we're young, that gives us our jobs. I was given military workforce." Celeste tells Skylar.

"Last question, how many subjects are there?"

"I don't know, I don't have the clearance for it," Celeste says.

"Who would?"

"A scientist,"

With a glance from Skylar and a wave of my hand Celeste's injuries are no more.

Unfortunately, things just got more complicated. Fortunately, we know how to locate the Lab.
