He is gone.
You return to your room and lock the door. Harrow takes up station in the corner next to the door unbidden - he can sense your distress. Making sure your father isn't awake one last time, you take out your flip phone your father bought for you the other day and dial the number Ms. Militia gave you. She picks up on the first ring. "Hi Taylor, I wasn't expecting to hear from you this late? What's up." You frown. "I can call you back in the morning if this is a bad time for you?" She waves off your concerns saying, "Don't worry! Part of my powers is I don't need to sleep, so I'm a bit of an insomniac."
You swallow before continuing the conversation. "About what we talked about this afternoon - I'm not sure if I can supply my foundries to the PRT. I don't understand why the foundry decided to take the blood sample, and until I can know more I don't feel safe providing it for general use. There's a lot about my tinkertech that I don't understand myself." Ms. Militia replied, "If that's the way you feel, then I'll respect it. Still, you should come to the Rig sometime, talk to Kid Win and Armsmaster and see if they can help you somewhat. You're also going to need to get registered in the PRT database and get power testing, preferably as soon as possible. Just send me a text message and I'll set up an appointment for you." Its true that you've got to do that as soon as possible, but you still have a busy week ahead of you, since you need to take the Arcadia entrance exams and attend an interview. Maybe you'll be able to squeeze it on one of the exam days? It may be best to put it off until you know where you'll be going to school, though joining the wards will improve your chances.
Ms. Militia interrupts your thinking. "Taylor? You still there? I can tell you have something else on your mind; want to talk about it?" It's tempting to take up her offer and just divulge everything from this afternoon to her - the arcane machinery of the foundry, the mysterious voice that warned you against trying to uncover the secrets of your tech. But the desire of the human mind to offload its responsibilities to others is dangerous, and doing so may push her away.
When will you get setup with the PRT?
[] This week, after the interview on Monday
[] This week, after my exams on Wednesday
[] Sometime later, I need to focus on school.
Tell Ms. Militia about this afternoon?
[] Tell her everything
[] Tell her about the ominous being
[] Tell her about the difficulties with the foundry
[] Tell her nothing.

The "Tell her everything" includes the bulling?

Let´s not give away all our secrets right away. Seriously, what others don´t know, they can´t be forced to tell. Masters and Strangers are a very real threat.

Scourge's secondary fire will make for some interesting combos with the local blasters. Ooh, but not Shadow Stalker. Auto headshot with a crossbow is probably bad.

Probably be best to wait until we're done applying before doing something that may knock us out for a while.

You see a shadow at the edge of your vision. He is watching.
"You can sign me up for power testing on Monday - I have somewhere to go before hand, so maybe 3 PM?" Ms. Militia sighs over the phone. "Taylor, it's okay if you don't want to talk about it but-" You interrupt her with, "No, I do. Just...give me a moment. It's hard for me to believe this myself." Over the course of the next half hour you tell her everything - the foundry's rebellion against you, the orb at its center, and the voice of warning. After you finish speaking, Ms. Militia worriedly replies, "You mean you don't remember building your first foundry? That sounds like you might have done it in a tinker fugue, but you haven't been in a tinker long enough for that. And the voice you mentioned, it bothers me...Taylor, do you think there's a possibility you've been mastered?"
You go quiet for a few moments after that. "That can't be possible, I've never been in contact with another parahuman before today. Who would ever have any reason to master me?" Ms. Militia responds, "Just to be safe, we have a cape that can detect what parahumans you've been nearby within the last 6 months - her name is Madame, a Guild member from London. It'll take her a few hours to get here, but in the meantime I forbid you from any intensive tinkering. If it requires you to take something apart, then don't do it. We have no idea what you might do if you've been mastered. In the meantime, get some sleep - you have an interview tomorrow. Focus on being Taylor the teenager, not Taylor the parahuman. I'll talk to your father by myself."
With that, she ends the call on your end, leaving you to relax on your bed. The first thing you do once you get over the shock is clean off the parts you were working on - no use tempting yourself. Still, Ms. Militia only said you couldn't tinker - nothing about giving Harrow a new paintjob. You had been planning on doing it anyway before your call, and it'll help keep your mind off...everything. How will you paint him?
[]A lighter color scheme will do nicely.
[]Go for something a bit darker.
[]Keep him with his normal colors, with a bit of a touchup.

Is the vote closed?
If not, [X] Go for something a bit darker.
Also, why does the Warframe only level up when the status quo is upheld? The option to choose it way back when this quest started said that you 'would cleanse the corruption by any means necessary'. Doens't That mean CHANGING the status quo?

also assuming it is not closed,
[X] Go for something a bit darker.
It will be interesting as to what nature of corruption is being referred to here - the traditional "infestation", political corruption or the gangs on the streets.
