The Subject
« on: June 09, 2011, 08:37:22 pm »

(I hope this adventure turns out OK.)

Your name has been long forgotten.

The Subject is your name now. The only name. For as long as you were alive, God had abandoned you. Kept in darkness, hundreds of needles piercing your frail body, draining but not killing you. You weren't meant to be escaping anytime soon. You were trapped in a metal prison. You could barely see beyond the murk of the vat. You could only see pale outlines of the world beyond. They occasionally ran tests on you, checked your physical state. You were perfectly fit, just not ready to be released. Either you were too underdeveloped, too mentally unstable or maybe they just liked to torture you with a hint of possible freedom. But you knew that they were keeping me for something, you just didn't know what. You were unique in some way, advanced, terrifying. Terrifying enough to be locked in a metal maze of traps and security guards.

One day, you were ready. They would have probably let you out, to do whatever you were made to do.

They didn't expect you to break through the glass, for you to kill a security guard and for you to be able to escape into the vents.

As you scampered through the vents, looking around for an exit, the voices came. You didn't know where they came from. Sometimes, these same voices taunted you in the glass vat, but now...They want to help. You realize that you have to trust them, or you won't get anywhere. They have some good ideas. After resting, they asked you two questions.

What made you unique, and what do you look like?

(What is your special power, and the second one is obvious.)

You can brust two gaint blades from your wrists. (Try and think of something more badass.)

You are 19 years old. You have Green Eyes. You have Brown Hair.

You remember how you broke out.

One day, you realized how blind you really were. You realized there were things beyond this murk. Love. Sunsets. Forgiveness. Pain. Actual pain, not the slow burning one you felt in this metal cage. You couldn't take it anymore. Your mind clicked, and a blast of energy tore apart the glass. The guard screamed as a piece of glass stabbed his eye, and became imbedded. Your arms shifted. They turned into almost ethereal claws, that ripped apart the terrified guard. You ran away, into the vents.

Cold. You feel so cold. It's better then the murk, but it is still something that reminds you of this terrible place. You see a puddle, and look into it. The voices were right. You are a muscled but not a body builder type 19 year old, with dull green eyes and generic brown hair. You stare back at those green eyes. You check the rest of your body. "PROJECT VATES" is tattooed onto your stomach, in place of a belly button. That is not a good sign.

You are completely naked in the vents. You need something to wear.

Find something to wear.

Also, keep an eye out for a railroad of any kind.

(Ah, railroading. Got to love it.)

You decide the best course of action would be to steal the guard's clothes. You haven't gone too far, so you manage to get back and drag the body in, and strip it. You put on the guard's clothes, equip his gun, his keycard and his radio. You think his name was Norman Oscar, judging by his keycard.

Good, now you have a pretense of stealth.

Now, there are three paths to take. Back to your cell, where you'll have to be quick as to avoid the obvious questions of "What happened to the prisoner?" and "Why is there blood everywhere?", the Reaserch Zone which you don't have access to and the Security Zone, which may or may not get you somewhere.

To the Security Zone!  But be careful, if a guard or anyone talks to you, do your best to blend in.

You crawl towards the Security Zone, hoping to God that no-one notices you.

You drop down onto the ground, and walk down the corridor. You are shaking and you cannot stop yourself. Your stomach is in a knot, and you can't breath properly. Oh God, you are in the middle of the barracks! If you mess up, you'll have fifty guns pointing your way! You can't do this, you can only go so far... You should just lay down and die. You freeze. A guard walks towards you. His mask hides his face apart from his eyes, his armor exposes nothing. He is the perfect killing machine. He must be about to go on patrol, that's why he is armed. You mess up, no second chances.

He looks at you.

"Hey, why are you sweating?"

'My wife just found out I've been sleeping with her sister these last six months. So yeah, this is gonna be a bitch to explain.'

You cast your memory back. In your cage, you heard the scientists talking in an unknown language. This language taunted you, made you angry with it's seeming simpleness. You could understand what the guard said, barely, but you need to think of something to respond with. What would do...
You cough, and think. You think of something.

"I sleeping month-sister, bitch." You say. That should do. It probably means something.

He stares at you for a second, then grabs his radio. He says something in that deceptively simple sounding language, and then aims his gun at you.

Well, that's that then. Time to die.

You don't wanna die. You have tasted freedom, and you crave more. You want to see something, beyond the murk, beyond the concrete. Is there something beyond this? Is this your own special hell, where you can scream evermore? Then, if they kill you, you are back to square one. Another eternity of screaming.

Don't kill me!

The Security Officer blinks.

He puts down his gun, and walks off roboticaly.

... Hmm.
