[[Area Unknown: Cell Subject 009]]

I opened my eyes.

Red strands fell in my face as I gazed at my desolate surroundings.

An empty cell, a metal door, and no apparent luxuries or easy ways out.

"I...please?" I whispered. "Where...where am I?" I didn't expect a response, which is why I jerked against the wall when an echoing voice said "Welcome Subject 009, I hope you have had a nice rest, as you might notice your memories have been swiped, an interesting side effect, we will soon begin your training." 

I didn't see any option other than to do as I was told, so I curled in a ball and waited.

I must have fallen asleep at some point.

I awoke to voices, over the intercom again, one as digital as the first and the other softer-seeming. More voices pitched in, and while I couldn't catch much, I gathered that they were planning an escape. I didn't know quite what I was escaping from, but would be glad for anything other than this, and so spoke up myself.

"I...um...excuse me...d-did you see in the..the file what I can do?"
