Tommy looks up with a start as Gallen awakens. He's been deep in thought...mostly about how Gallen's feinting spell drove the final nail into the coffin that is this new reality. He looks away from Gallen quickly though, so as not to make him pass out again.
"Yeah...yeah you did..." he takes a swig from his glass which contains some reddish brown stuff, and shudders.
"How're you feelin?"

"Like a truck hit me. So it is true, the injections and what not." he smiled weakly as he started to sit back up. "I am sorry for that, I am sure that was very impolite of me." Gallen was really not sure what to say, his voice still shaky as was the rest of him. He looked over the bat like man. "So they did this to you?"

"Well...it's not like you had a choice in the matter..." he mutters out, taking another swig of the nastiness in his glass. He sits down with a groan, "But yeah...injections and what not...Vampire Bat in my case."

Gallen swallowed hard, he looked at Tommy. "I had a choice; I was a fool and excepted their invitation. But my sister works here, so maybe I was not injected. I mean...it is hard to believe this is true. Next to Cody your the only other I have met in this condition.” He remembered his encounter with Cody and once more heard the boys voice, I hope they make you a slug. “you sure everyone here is...well...being changed?" Gallen swallowed again trying to not pass out again, the shock was hard, and the realization of what was reality harder. “ I don’t want to be a slug like that kid said.”

Tommy thinks for a moment how the change into a slug would commence...and he just shudders. "Yeah...I don't blame you...but...your sister works here? So...what, she's a lab tech?" He frowns at this, starting to not quite liking how this conversation was turning out. Just who was this guy? If his sister worked here...then why was he here mingling with those that could do him harm? I mean...hell, if he was actually in on it...then he would know not to tell us this...right?

Gallen looked away as he talked, " a year ago she vanished, I called all of Feral labs branches trying to find her. She had left at the end of summer to work for Feral's Florida research. But after a few letters I never heard from her again. When my calls did nothing, started to tap the lines at Feral's New York base. sigh." he lowered his head, “that was a bad idea, get expelled form school and all. then Feral comes to me with this thing about finding her and inviting me out her to see her. I have not seen her yet." He seemed distant as he thought of his sister, his hand toyed with the Celtic medallion around his neck. " I guess being a lab tech takes up a lot of time...but they would never inject me with that serum...she would not let them...but ...she would not take part in human experiments either...."

Tommy leans back in his chair as his insanely large ears takes all this in. After a moment he speaks, "...sounds like quite the conundrum you got there...also sounds like you got ******** royaly. What's your sister's name? 'cause...I'm sorry to say, but if I had to guess, she's...well...she's not more than likely not a lab tech."

Gallen’s eyes flashed at Tommy, "She is here, she has to be!!!" His voice was stern, the Irish bleeding through. "I am sorry, I just...miss her." He lowered his head. "So how did you get her, and why a bat?" Gallen did not realize they chose the creature you where to become, but still in his heart he hoped he could some how get out of this crazy experiment, specially when his sister worked on the island.

What the hell is with the Irish here? One tries to bite my head off figuritively, the other tries to bite my arm off literally! Ugh...
He just watches Gallen during his outburst. Calm exterior under screaming was learned well during Basic Training, "Yeah well...we all miss someone here. My family probably doesn't know what happened to me either. I was on a hop to Aviano Air Force Base in Italy when something happened to cause it to crash," he says, quite used to telling this story now, "I was the last one to parachute out...a cross wind must've knocked me away from everyone. I was left floating in my life raft for days before I was finally picked up by the people here."
He sighs and shakes his head, "and don't ask me why a bat. All I know is that they're taking away my goddamn hands."

Gallen looked at the long fingers and hands..."oh..I am sorry" He rubbed his arm where Sabin had injected him...was it really a vaccination shot? His mind wondered as he thought over everything. "So what is Professor Sabin in this mix? He seemed like a nice guy when he gave me that vaccination shot."

Tommy just shrugs, "I dunno about Sabin...I mean, I think he cares about the islanders...but he also loves deceiving them, you know? So...I think he's the guy to go to though when you're having troubles....wait, vaccination shot? ...yeah...I uh...I don't think that was a vaccination shot."

Gallen looked at Tommy, it had been an hour, the fish Gallen had was now cold and the salad wilted. "What do you mean not a vaccination shot." Oh god it wasn't, his stomach knotted. No, No, NOO they could not have...he was destined to be like the rest of these people...why..where was his sister? Why would she let them do this? “But I am suppose to head home next Monday, to a new school and everything.”

"And I'm supposed to be in the middle of my two degree year at the Air Force Academy...listen man...I'm sorry...but I uh...I think you've been duped," he says with pity.
Tommy can't help but feel sorry for the guy. Ripped from a normal life and thrust here of all places...Goddamnit what the ******** is the man in charge thinking? The guy has no soul...

Gallen sighed, he did not want to believe what Tommy said, but oddly enough he was starting to agree that this was a biog trick. as he sat there he pulled out his cheap 20 dollar pocket watch and looked at the time. Oh man I need to get moving, I am hoping to catch my sister this time. He got up and started to head for the door. "Hey, I am sorry about earlier, IU hope we can talk again. And if my sister is here, I will find out what the heck is going on. I am sure she could fix what is going on." Even in the worst situation, Gallen had hope.

Tommy just smiles sadly and nods to him, "Yeah man...no problem."
He watches Gallen leave and just sighs to himself, "Goddamnit..." he mutters.
