Everyone else was awake, all of them having the same answers as Aria herself. Which was none. Terrific. Two other women and two men, the girls saying how they both apparently were into spice while the one younger man seemed more interested in cake than anything else. Though she did question why there was one their in the first place. The older one, however, seemed to be taking more charge than the others. At least he was in soething of the same mentalitiy Aria was when it came to this odd situation.
When he asked who she was she avoided the answer directly and only said "Hey, I'm stuck just like the rest of you. Not like I have anything to do with...." she stopped when she realized the other machines everyone had been connected to just like her. "Wait a second...." She took a closer look at them before noting the one on herself, trying to see the behind her chair. "Memory wipe machines!" she realized aloud. "That's why we can't remember. Someone dosen't want us knowing something..."
And then, as if on cue, the screens all began to light up. When everyone looked the image showed Aria herself sitting in a chair. She was looked stright ahead and was being asked a question by someone with an augmented voice.
"Do you agree to this memory wipe?" it asked.
Aria agreed before the screen changed, now showing [member="Ben Trasker"] answering the same question. And then [member="Nyx"] , followed by [member="Levy Willamina"] and finally [member="Hakora Vex"] ; who it was revealed by his video that HE was the one who'd brought the cake. All were asked by the same person with the agumented voice. Finally the screen changed yet again, now revealing a man. His face was half hidden by darkness but it was clear he had bad scars on the unseen side. He seemed older, around his 50's, and his one good eye seemed to droop a little. He almost looked like a Sith but it was unclear if he actually was.
"Hello everyone." he said in a raspy Italian accent. "I hope you have all slept well. You are, of course, wondering where you are and why you're here. And why you've all had your memories wiped. Allow me to start by introducing myself as Mr. Owen. And you are currently on Zeltros where you are to prepare for one of the greatest heists in history. You are to break into the Bank of Courascant and steal from the private vaults." He paused, allowing them all to take the little revelation in, before continuing with "You'll find all your equipment waiting for you in the trunk nearby. There will also be a folder with information as to where your ship that will take you is currently parked and a layout of the bank itself. Now, of course, some of you are possibly thinking of wishing to not go through with this little assignment. But before you decide to walk away you should be aware of the explosives currently intalled within your necks."
The screen cut away and showed a pair of hands readying the back of Nyx's neck with an explosvie before trying to cut into it. It cut away, quickly showing everyone else having explosives installed, before cutting back to Mr. Owen.
"We will be keeping track of you. If you decide to leave the device will go off. Attempt to remove it and it will go off. If you are captured and risk exposing us it will go off. So, as a little insentive, I suggest not failing. Good luck and, as they say..." he held up a glass and toasted to them "Here's to crime!"
The screen finally went black before the straps to everyone's chairs finally snapped off, freeing everyone. Aria sat where she was, rubbing her wrist, while still taking in the entire situation.
