G.U.N Maximum security prison.
Location unknown
Cell 185A
7:00 AM
The fluorescent lights flickered on, casting an unnatural glow around the black metal cell. The light changed from white to an eerie green as it passed through the tinted glass of the stasis tube and cast its glow upon the prisoner. The lighting system was set to illuminate all the cells between 0700 and 1900 hours. This was done primarily for those prisoners listed as classes 1-3 that were allowed to serve out their sentences in consciousness. In this cell was a class 5 prisoner. This was printed on a metal plaque outside the door, along with the following:
Prisoner 185A Class 5
Highly destructive.
Door is not to be opened.
May only be transferred to armored cells.
Must never be in close proximity to prisoners 379B or 504C
The stasis tube the prisoner was encased in had been specially made with armored plating on the inside and reinforced glass in case the prisoner was to regain consciousness. If that were to happen, the brainwave monitor above the tube would react by setting off an alarm. The monitor was, as it had been doing for the past two years, showing the exact same levels of brain activity. But today was special. Today, the brain monitor showed a sudden spike in brain activity. These were usually common, caused by dreams. Only this particular prisoner had been sedated so that he would not dream.

Cell 379B
7:13 AM
This cell was smaller. Much smaller. It had no space in the room save for the space taken up by the stasis tube in which this room's prisoner lay. This tube was, in turn, much smaller than the tubes in the other cells. The entire room had been designed to not allow the prisoner to move in any direction. Written on a similar plaque outside the door read:
Prisoner 379B Class 5
Highly dangerous.
Must be kept in confined cell. Door is not to be opened.
Must never be in close proximity to prisoners 185A or 504C
A similar brain spike appeared on the monitor above the prisoner, and then another. They remained far enough apart to not set off the alarm, but they were getting closer together. The prisoner's hand clenched, almost reflexively. His legs began to move back and forth, restricted by the glass, back muscles flexed, armored plates slid over one another, and an eye flickered open as, for the first time in two years, the prisoner regained consciousness.

Cell 504C
7:16 AM
This was a standard cell, with no sort of modifications. The stasis tube stood in the center of the otherwise empty cell. This cell was, like the rest of the C level of the prison, underground. Level C was meant for those with tendencies to escape from their holdings. A metal plaque on the outside of the door read:
Prisoner 504C
Highly dangerous.
Keep underground.
Must never be in close proximity to prisoners 185A or 379B
The prisoner was conscious and aware of his surroundings already. His eyes swept across the room and he saw nothing but the front of his prison. And even though this was the first time he had seen this cell, he did not look any further than the stasis tube he was in, more specifically, a wire running along the outside of the cell. He looked for the other end of the wire and, when he turned his head to look, immediately realized it was attached to the back of his neck. The prisoner spread his arms, and the gilled undersides along with them. He then flapped his arms and spun forward, causing the wire to painfully rip out of his neck. The monitor that had been showing various brain spikes immediately flat-lined. The prisoner looked up and listened to the prolonged beep of the monitor. He smiled and fell limp. All his vital signs had been monitored through the same wire. It wouldn't be long before those monitoring him thought him dead and would come to check on him.
He was right. Within minutes, the door slid open as three G.U.N personnel entered. He didn't move at all as one came forward to open the tube. The liquid that the prisoner had been floating in drained off as the glass slid forward and the G.U.N doctor prepared to check the pulse of the prisoner. He never got the chance. The prisoner opened his eyes and leapt forward over the doctor's head and then up the stasis tube itself. The two other G.U.N personnel, soldiers, took no hesitation in opening fire upon the escapee. The prisoner spread his gilled arms and leapt forward, flapping occaisinally as he flew around the room to avoid being shot. He then took the opportunity to strike while the soldiers reloaded, and flew upon them. He landed on one's shoulder and then kicked at the other's head, then leapt to the opposite shoulder and struck at the first soldier. He then flew out the door and down a dimly lit hallway.
He landed on the floor and began running until he saw something different amongst the black cell doors. A white one, without a locking mechanism. An elevator. The prisoner listened intently at the metal doors and he heard the elevator moving downwards. More soldiers. The doors began to slide open as he leapt upwards. Five men stepped out of the elevator and into the hallway. One of them, most likely the leader, looked down the hallway in both directions and then upwards before racing down the hallway with the others as the elevator doors closed.
The prisoner grunted in pain. He had gotten his tail caught in the doors when he climbed inside. He waited as the elevator rose to B level. It was time to repay a debt.
