Columbary
"It's supposed to be me!" Kay harumphed after even more of the augurs made guesses that ranged from mundane shapes to eccentric and complicated scenery. "Maybe um a bit more curvey n' the shape of the dress is off but, come on?" She chided, clearly defeated as the not at all described visage of Scathach Kay faded and only darkness and their new sense of perception remained.
As her griping went on, slowly the augurs natural healing took place as their body saught to restore itself to a right state, and burned the proper amount of fat and calories as it took dead-mass from their body to restore the synapses in their eyes as easily to all of them as breathing.
Kay, was sitting a ways away at one of the tables pulled from the ground with her head in her arms on the surface while she mumbled muffled curses into the tabletop. What was more disconcerting was that at some point three figures had entered the Columbary from the sealed airlock-hatch at the far end and stood appraising the group. Of them was two of the familiar agents of the OIA in their well-kept and tidy suit-jackets and slacks, while one of the proctors of the AUGUR project stood alongside them in his opened lab coat and scrubs where he was taking notes.
In their new perception all the psychics knew at a fundamental level that they wouldn't be able to sneak up on them again to that level even if they were blind. The arrival of strangers to the Columbary always got most of the young Psychics excited and a murmur started to rise and more than a few extended their senses towards the newcomers but retracted when Kay had stopped her faux-tantrum and mentally exerted herself as she looked up and at nobody in particular to more or less reminding them of their manners.
It was not uncommon for some of the first generations to be taken on by the OIA for occasional duties, and it was well known that Kay had left the Columbary quite a few times under the supervision of the office of internal affairs for various duties and had even been given an alpha contract and the codename Hierophant by the office, to which many in the second generation had begun to copy by referring to themselves by callsigns with a few exceptions such as Judgement who had no memory of his actual name and had been named as such by Kay personally which she had stated annoyed the bean counters to no end.
"Miss, kay, I hope you have not exhausted yourself already?" The coated man from BTS asked with genuine concern as the two suits from the OIA, one cliche tall-muscle head of a man and a thin wirey woman with a whipcord thin frame casually looked over the ring of psychics stumbling back to their feet on numb legs. impassively.
"We're all good, doc!" Kay threw both hands up and began to arch her back considerably while she stretched until she was resting flat against nothing like she was laying on a solid surface as she used basic telekinesis to show off before she casually rolled over the invisible surface and back to her feet and continued her trend of not quite looking at who she was speaking to but instead off to the side of them despite the fact all the augurs present knew she could see perfectly fine in her own way even if some details could be left out if their recent experience was any indicator as to the beginning of what she was capable of with her terrifying perception.
"Today the day?" She asked, turning before she could even see the man nod and the two suits take a step forwards to answer before she turned her backs on them and towards the circle of psychics.
"OK! Judgey, moon, magic, herm, and tow you're up! Mostly cause you guys already got names and we can avoid the paperwork!" She clicked her teeth conspiratorially at them as the others took their cue and filtered off to the rest of the Columbary for their own individual training with more than a few longing looks. "You guys ready to see the outside?"
Behind her, the BTS doctor had begun to ramble at Kay, looking to the two OIA agents who only shared a look and through an unspoken agreement looked past the man and back towards the psychics making the decision final, leaving him defeated where he instead slunk off towards a group of Augurs to instead watch their progress.
"Trust me, you guys are gonna love it," Kay headed the selected augurs to the two agents where she shuffled towards them and with her hands out started to blatantly feel up the larger man's chest and stomach as if she was actually blind. "Agent blue?" She cooed as if the man's six-pack under his clothes was braille and she was reading more than his name off of it which the man simply looked down at her with an unreadable expression.
"We've been over this, hierophant." The woman admonished, plucking one of Kays hands-off by a finger and earning her a hurt expression from the blind girl as if she had done something wrong. "You can- Gahk-" The more emotive woman chided and then sucked in a breath as Kay then did the same to her, causing the woman to flinch when her side was poked as instantly the illusion of the emotionless and efficient agents was dispelled by a ticklish woman in a suit.
Ignoring the plight of his partner the man left her to her torture as Kay began peeking under her jacket and attempting to un-tuck her dress shirt in her usual display of ignoring boundries.
"My name is Blue, my partner here," He nodded to the woman whose ears poking out from behind her tied-back bun of black hair had begun to turn red "Is Ms.black. We are agents from the office' liquidation division. From this moment forwards, should you care to participate, you will be upgraded to an alpha-contract like Hierophant, and proceed as a part of the OIA on duties outside of the Columbary under our supervision. While you can choose not to accept this offer and remain here, accepting will require you to behave and follow all the rules of myself, Ms.black, and the office in general. Failure to do so can have consequences including incarceration, revoking of contract status, or being placed back into cryostasis indefinitely.
Knowing this do any of you have any questions, concerns, liabilities, or stipulations on your duties before we proceed?"
Behind the man, an eep sounded as Ms.black declared that Kay had somehow unhooked her bra using 'mind powers'
