CC: Ask if this woman was HEY WAIT A MINUTE a guy with hyperspatial powers from a secret civilization just rescued you from a fight involving a superpowered man and a robot and is trying to prepare you for a possible fight against evil sentient black goo. STOP BEING SO PETTY and instead be angry at yourself for thinking about stupid girly stuff at a time like this.

...What the hell ARE you doing?! You need to stop being all self-conscious about yourself in front of Slick. You're on an elevator to god-knows-where with a man in a spacesuit telling you he comes from some sort of civilization where people have blades tied to their arms and here you are worrying about comparing yourself to someone who you've never seen and who he'll probably never see again. You need to cut to the chase about all the actual water stuff. Y'know, the stuff that matters.
Still, it's been a long time since anyone has said they cared about you. Whenever someone did, it was only a matter of time before they'd catch you losing your temper, after which they'd be too scared to even associate with you. You barely even have any friends. At least Mist has a legitimate excuse. Those blade things are practically extensions of their limbs. You imagine they would view her condition as if her arms and legs were rotting and falling off. That would be terrible.
Oh well. You swallow your pride and ask about the other people who were with Slick when he was being briefed.

Using your body as a reference point again, Slick describes Typhoon's appearance with startling accuracy. You admit it's kinda weirding you out how he's doing that.
Subject 1002, codename Typhoon, is a beast of a man. He is incredibly large, with big beefy arms, a flat head, and a lot of strength. He's got larger arm blades to match his upper body strength, but his leg blades are a little stunted. Due to his strength, he was usually the first to complete his duties around the facility, and he'd end up doing all kinds of things in his spare time, like arguing with the scientists over a particular theory or reading fine literature.
You ask if he could beat up Tubs. Slick says Tubs would probably make him cry like a baby.

Anyway, those were the only other people in Rheo's group. There were two extra subjects along with them who were only there because they were asked to stay behind to help Rheo get acquainted with his equipment.
The one talking to Rheo now was subject 10. His name was Surge. The one that shared Rheo's blades.
The other one was subject 111, codename Laze. Surge said that he wandered off somewhere. He does that.
