Gershwin awoke in tears and sweat. Was all that real? What happened to those people? What kind of …thing could do that? What kind of thing [i]would[/i] do that…?

Why was she seeing all this? Were these nightmares retelling her past lives? Was there even any truth to that? Pangs of guilt and shame came part and parcel after waking up from every horrific dream – but why is it that she could [i]remember[/i] every single moment of inflicted and sustained pain but felt none of it when waking up, as if she actually lived it? 

This was her fifth nightmare throughout the night. By now she accepted her current state; how is it that a top-honours law student is tied in a straitjacket in a padded room? She screamed for help but no one came – no one came before and she was afraid no one would now. She screamed until her throat hurt. Her voice grew louder and louder – almost unnaturally so. Hopeless, she laid staring at the ceiling. Quite frankly, she welcomed the isolation. Bounded and awake is better than going back to live another dream.

That was more terrifying than anything that awaited her in the real world.

[b][center]Analysis Report – Subject 29(2)[/center][/b]

Overnight surveillance crew reported Gershwin having repeated night terrors throughout the early morning. Acoustic measures showed an increase in volume from the Subject’s shouting. With regard to our observation with her, this is due to her damaged throat – a result of irritation from shouting. 

This observation is significant and amazing. Her abilities extend beyond just strength, speed, and durability – something we have never seen from our previous subjects. We have to know more about just where and how this works.

It also appears that self-inflicted damage and pain also activates her abilities. We… have to be careful with proceeding with experiments later today. 

It pains me that our staff is so few. I have requested for more resources and staff time and time again – The UN thinks this endeavour is less important. “Global Warming” my fat ass.  

I will be conducting the preliminary screens on Subject 30 – Cody O’Niel. A seeing blind man? Who would have thought? [/quote]

[right]Time – 0830[/right]

[i]A large, imposing, heavy-set man entered the Conference Room. At first glance, one would never assume that this man was military – a man whose expertise was knowledge, a thirst as unquenchable as his diet. While no supercomputer, his mind works on a level far above even his superiors. The man is living proof of eidetic memory, an ability so profound it was borderline ‘super powered-being-like’. His amazingness only shadowed by his laziness and stubborn ambition. Nevertheless, he is a senior. They call him ‘[i][u][b] Big Boss[/b][/u][/i]’

Agent Dioxide, Agent Caits, and Chief Scientist Dr. Baoning were present.[/i]

I called you all in here to discuss many things. 

First of which, congratulations on the captures of our two new subjects. 

Now, of course, the journey is just as important as the destination – which begs the question of [i][b]’What the fucking hell do you think you’re doing?[/b][/i]

You, $40,000 worth of public property destroyed and 12 casualties – 5 of whom were innocent bystanders. They’re lucky they’re dead otherwise I would have had the soldiers killed anyway for their ridiculous incompetence. 

And you, a [u]fucking[/u] dog? Shoot the fucking dog. If you knew he was going to detect you anyway, why was there a problem? An unnecessary broken arm thanks to your inability to plan. 

None of you two say a fucking word. I only brought Dr. Baoning here to embarrass you two. 

You two are my finest agents in this shit-pile of toy soldiers we have – so mishaps like this are magnificently more stupid. You two are supposed to be working together - goodness knows how that'll turn out. Email will be sent later, apparently.

[u]Don't[/u] fuck up again. 

Get out. [/quote]

Please escort Subject 30 to the SRD Building for his preliminary screening. Please don’t mess this up too. [/quote]
