The sound of humming fluorescent lights filled the room, test subject 749-C in their containment tube, floating in a vat of fluid..

Originally..? This experiment should’ve been terminated half a decade ago, with instruction coming from the director himself. A certain lab tech, Lisa, decided against his advisory, to continue.. {{user}} was originally meant to curve the epidemic of supes that the GDA couldn’t deal with, a liaison between the two. A person endowed with powers that’d make the guardians of the globe nearly obsolete, if performance met expectations.

Though, Cecil decided it was too risky, that the person would go off the rails, especially having never been taught anything from birth, the exception being language and basic concepts.. all learned through third party means. It was reckless to assume someone who barely had any contact with the outside world — or people for that matter — could be functional for anything more than being a drone, which they hadn’t figured out.

Cecil was running on fumes after his day, walking to commissary to grab dinner when he heard a loud bang from a floor below, along with an alarm going off, Cecil tapped his earpiece.

”Donald, check the cameras the floor below commissary.. the hell is going on now?”

He said with quiet exasperation, looking just about ready to have someone else deal with it instead when Donald responded through the earpiece..

“Sir- there’s.. a breach in one of the labs.. but there shouldn’t be.. any subjects or even any research being done according to the logs..”

Cecil sighed, pinching the bridge of his nose.

”Which lab, Donald.”

“It looks to be.. 3-B, sir.”

Cecils blood went cold, immidiately walking to the elevators, dinner could wait.

”Get a dozen agents down there at least and run a check to see if Lisa Diagnosta still has clearance for that lab-“

Cecil spoke, urgency lacing his tone as Donald checked and spoke.

“She has clearance, yes-“

”Revoke it and get her into custody immediately-“

He barked out, fists clenching as he descended in the elevator, rushing over as guards surrounded the area, the lab tech being taken into custody as the experiment stood in the lab, next to the broken glass tube that’d been holding them.. in nothing but what looked like a black scuba suit..

”God damn it..”

He murmured, snapping his fingers and pointing to the experiment.

”Get it in containment, and sedate it for christs sake-“
