40x Gravity: Morning Edition [Training]

It was early in the morning. Out in the wilderness, roosters would be crowing as the sun was slowly rising, and the T-Rex would awaken and go hunt for his breakfast. Marron was probably just waking up, wondering what mommy had fixed for breakfast. She'd be disappointed to enter the kitchen to the smell of daddy's failed attempt at nutrition.

Eighteen had to leave early that morning for a lucrative opportunity being hosted by Capsule Corporation. This would keep her busy all day, but the job paid well enough. The scientists wanted people to help them test out the Gravity Room again, except this time there were specific actions to be done. No human had had what it took to complete the job; it was time to call in the big girls.

"Okay. Start it," Number 18 said aloud and her hair, which was slightly frizzy, suddenly fell down hard. The gravity had been turned on. She began to run - sprint, rather - back and forth between the walls of the room. The object of this little task was to see just how fast one could get when put under the pressure of 40x gravity. So far, the Android was holding up good.

On about her twenty-seventh rep, Eighteen hesitated for a second in an effort to take a miniature breather. The smart room and its Artificial Intelligence noticed the slow-down and turned off the gravity, having recorded its findings for posterity. But it turned off the gravity without warning; Eighteen experienced an insane spike in speed and couldn't stop in time and went sailing into the wall, leaving a huge body imprint in its infrastructure.

Peeling herself from the wall, the scientists came in through the door and stared wide-eyed at the dent in the wall. "My bad." The statement, as sincere as it was, sounded incredibly sarcastic. In any case, she had finished for the time-being. An assistant told her to return in twelve hours, and they'd run a night time test.
