General Cloud made a face when some of the Hybrids started speaking out of line and without permission. He tossed a glare at Vincent then went over to Maeve first since she was the first one to speak out of turn. She hadn't jumped when he entered and didn't seem intimidated by him at all. It was enough to make his rage even higher. Going over to her he grabbed her by the front of her shirt and picked her up off the floor with ease.
"Who gave you the permission to speak?" He spat at her.
"You wouldn't be in this room if you weren't already qualified for this mission!" He snapped and threw Maeve across the table into Riley and a few other Hybrids next to her. He then went over to Tyson with a stern face. He put one hand on his shoulder and reared back delivering a powerful blow to his stomach and pushed him back into his chair.
"Again? Who allowed you to speak? If I need you pathetic Hybrids trained I'll higher better scientists to work you harder!" He snapped and then went over to Nikolai. Only Hybrid he had to look up at, but it wasn't by much.
"Did little miss doctor say you were all mentally ready to come out confinement? Maybe next time they can do what I say and create me a true beast of aggression, not some wannabe who wants to change what is flowing through his veins." The General hissed. Then turned to Quinn and walked over to her and grabbed her by the throat and picked her up against the whiteboard in front of everyone. It didn't matter if they were Hybrid, scientist, or soldier to Cloud.
"Who gave you the authority to release him? Who cares if they die or not, we can make more. Are you getting all sentimental now Bunny? If you can't handle putting them back together fast and sending them back out to their deaths then I think we need a new physician?" He dropped Quinn to the floor and walked over to Vincent and got right up into his face.
"I thought your job was to condition and make them better soldiers? Yet they all speak out of turn! Maybe I need a new scientist who can condition them as soldiers and not weak pathetic babies!" He snapped.
"Everyone out!" The General shouted and left Rubin, Quinn, and Vincent in the meeting room with the Hybrids and stormed off.

Ella jumped when the doors opened and watched the General walk in. She listened throughout the presentation and sighed.
'Great...' She thought to herself. This was going to be a long mission, though the idea of working with Jamie would be interesting to say the least. When he finished and the soldiers came in for measurements, they started grabbing at her wings again measuring them as well and her dimensions.
'I feel like a rag doll.' Ella made a face. She felt eyes on her and turned to see Riley looking at her. She smiled and nodded her head to reassure her that everything was going to be fine. Ella sat back down once they were done and gone. She watched people stand up and start speaking, she got a knot forming in her stomach, this wasn't going to be good. The look on the General's face wasn't one of happy. She stared wide eyed as he went to each Hybrid that was standing and actually started beating them and attacking them. The only person he didn't attack, but verbally assaulted was Nikolai. Seeing the General up this close made her skin crawl. She kept her head down and almost jumped back up when he attack Quinn. Her jaw dropped.
'What the hell is he thinking?!' Ella thought to herself. The words almost came out of her mouth but she was careful to catch herself. When he left she stood up and looked to the three before to the door, she wasn't going to ignore the command General Cloud had given and started for the door slowly.
