You wake up in an irritatingly cold room. Most of the contents have been chewed and eaten, largely due to your bottomless stomach.

You are Number 4. Your talents include the ability to consume anything you can fit in your mouth, and superhuman senses.

Today is the big day for you and your fellow Experiments - the day that The Man In Red will arrive to give you all the task which will determine your usefulness to him and his mysterious regime.

But that's a while away yet. For now it's morning, and soon the drones will come to take you to breakfast.

Seeing as it will get cumbersome to refer to yourself as "Number 4" for very much longer, you think about what you might want to call yourself before your name becomes a big deal. As of today, you are a new woman-experiment-thing!

What name should you take on?

Gluttony is nice and intimidating.

Famine might be good, too.

Or heck.
Combine the two into Gluttony N. Famine.
The N could be something normal your friends can call you.

I would prefer a numeric-derived name as I suggested in >>212431, but failing that I'd definitely go for "Famine" over "Gluttony". Really, a girl named Gluttony is just asking to be the butt of endless jokes.

As a full combined name, Tetra Famine would work.

With Mr. Snuggles tucked under one arm, and a bag of cookies held in your hand, you are unable to carry the second bag comfortably.

All the same, you take a secret amusement out of wearing your cute little panties on your head, though you will probably have to remove them before going to breakfast if you want to maintain any sort of credibility.

Speaking of breakfast, your acute hearing catches the mechanical whir of an approaching drone in the hallway.

Dropping the bag of cookies for a moment to open the dresser, you are in the act of deciding whether or not to put the panties away when the door slides open with a mechanical hiss, and the drone hovers in.

"[SUBJECT NUMBER 4], please allow me to escort you to the [MESS AREA]." It says, making the inserted phrases painfully obvious.

Also, are you good at chewing stuff or can you only swallow hard stuff whole and then digest it?

You put your things away and allow yourself to be led to the Mess Hall.

As you walk down the corridor, you begin to muse upon things. You haven't gotten much of a chance to talk to the other experiments, but from the times you have all been together, you do know a few things about them.

Number 3 is in the room just through the wall to yours. He can go invisible, and you don't trust him to not look up your skirt when he does so. You are one of the few who can still detect him via sound when he cloaks.

Number 2 is from the room down the hall, and his skin is made of some sort of tough but smooth metal. He's a snazzy dresser, but a bit of a jerk. He is incredibly strong despite being shorter than you. Then again, everyone is shorter than you.

Number 1 is a crazy bitch. She can move stuff with her brain and talk in your head. The experimentation process didn't kill her, but she's not all there anymore and it's a little weird.

You don't have much time to think anymore, as you have arrived.

>"'Sup, Three? You excited about today?"

Three moves his brown, leathery self across to the other side of the counter, grabbing a spoon and a bowl.

"I'd be more excited if I knew exactly what we were gettin' into, though. It's all so damn cryptic."

>"What's for breakfast?"

"Same thing as always, Four darlin'. You ask for somethin' you want, and you get what looks like somethin' a cat chucked up. Same old, same old, huh?"

Moving the bowl under Lunchbot's tube, he asks for bacon and eggs, receiving a grayish slop.

You don't all have the helmets, actually - Two doesn't have one, for instance, but that's because he thinks "They are hideous contraptions." and refuses to wear them.

All the same, you know that your helmet can have the visor shut to allow you to make full use of your heightened senses of smell, taste, touch and hearing - You do these better when blinded - and that Three's mouthpiece actually gives him a sort of sonar-like ability.

Speaking of Three, you see the almost bat-like man staring down at his breakfast slop with a sort of exasperation.

"Uh, Four darlin', you wouldn't happen to have a straw, would you?"

Lunchbot goes into standby mode to await repairs, and you drop to the ground, clothes slightly singed.

You manage to wave a hand at Two from your position on the floor.

"Exactly why," he says with a hint of what almost sounds like disappointment, "did you just try to devour the robot, Four?"

Meanwhile, you can almost HEAR Three taking the chance to lean into a glance up your skirt.

You explain to Two that the Lunchbot attacked you, and he seems to shrug and go back to just standing around looking cool.

You then turn your attention to Three.

Two turns his head to the door.

You multitask, kneeling down and taking a bite of the door, downing it with some of the grayish slop. It tastes like door and slop.

You suddenly feel a probing sensation in your brain, and One pipes up cheerfully.

"Ooh, I like your new name, Tetra. It suits you. We should all make names! What do you think mine should be? You don't have to say it out loud!"

Two looks over at you. Or at least you think he does, you can never tell with those cool shades.

Well, we could all go with loosely number-themed names. Prima, Twain, Trinus. And loosely power-themed names. Someone else can invent those.

Did not mean to make One the only one without a T-name, it just sort of worked out that way. Though it probably opens up possibilities for all kinds of alliteration with various plays on her being classically psychic.
