September 1999
I've been feeling way off lately. Everything feels different. My senses dull out on me more and come back sharper than ever.
Earlier in August, I felt as if I had to breath but hey, I'm not suppose to. It was an intense feeling of choking. Not that I wouldn't know, I just felt like that.
I can smell things with an intensity now. Blood doesn't call me much anymore. I've been getting cravings for bread mostly, and sometimes meat. Though I still can't taste them, the cravings are there.
The scientists have been having a field day putting me through the threshold tests. I've gotten stronger it seems. Or I'm just looking to much into things.
I've been thinking that if maybe I haven't left Buffy, I wouldn't be in this mess. So much has gone through my mind. She should be in college by now. She seems to be doing ok. I don't feel her pain much anymore. I guess she has gotten over me by now. As much as it pains me to admit it, it seems true. Pretty soon I wont be able to feel the bond between us.

Well this is interesting. I overheard Walsh and Baldy scientist talking about some new project they will head up. Something about a thing called Adam. I have no idea what the blue hell are they talking about.
"Dr. Kurtz, within a few months, we will begin on our project. ADAM will be groundbreaking!" Walsh exclaimed.
"Have the agents been capturing HSTs?" Asked baldy.
"Yes, Agent Finn and his team have captured another HST. Dr. Angleman and I will begin breaking down the structure for Adam soon."
Finn? Ha funny name, I wouldn't doubt if he resembled a fish somewhat."
"Doctor, before you leave, have your Agents capture another HST for hostile 5. He has shown incredible resilience and stamina in combat against other HSTs stronger than itself."
"I will right away. When is the next scheduled therapy?" Asked Walsh.
Therapy, bunch of bullshit. They cut my back open and inject at least 5 shots into my spinal cord. Its painful and knocks me out for hours or days at a time. Each time, I keep waking up feeling weirder and more out-of-tune with myself.
"Next week at 1700 hours."
"I will see you then."

A week later
I woke up again on the table, guess its round 7 or something, I lost count.
"Hey baldy, what the hell is this "therapy" for? So far, all you all have done is cut me open and shoot me up with a yellow looking fluid." I asked. Hell I was pissed, I felt weaker and stronger all at the same time!
"Well this is gene therapy. Basically, we are combining you DNA with the DNA of another project that was done 30 years ago."
"So what, I'm the next one in line? When I get out of here, I will kill you. Piece of shit."
"Such language. Well by the time we are done with you, you will be easy to command. You will not raise your hand to your superiors and will be a lethal weapon in the field of combat. Oh and you will be, lets say different." Said Kurtz.
Damn, I don't like the sound of different. Especially this guy. Feels like I'm just a piece of meat to this idiot.
Crap Walsh is coming. Here we go.

October 1999
Well, the gene therapy is turning me human. I now have a heartbeat and need to breath. Strange this is I seem to felt one of my childes. I thought it was suppose to go away.
Though I caught his scent right away. Seemed like Spike was captured. Oh well.
Even though I'm sort of halfway human, my strength is still with me and all my sense are sharper now. I also have a constant itch in both hands.
My healing abilities have the greatest change. I was in a fight with another Chaos Demon and it gave me a huge gash on my side. It instantly healed before my eyes. I was surprise sure, but not as much as the Chaos Demon. I ripped its head off with brute strength. I was a little mad you can say.
________________________________________________________________________
I found out what the itch in my hands are. I was trying to escape from the room I'm in and was surrounded by 2 teams. I threw my arms and hands back and claws, bone claws tore out between my knuckles. It threw me a bit because of the pain, but it was replaced by a huge adrenaline rush of a lifetime!
Since I've been here, I hardly feel less guilt, well I wouldn't doubt that comes back anytime soon. With these new claws, I took down 3 agents before I was tazed and shot with tranquilizer darts.
Now I heard Stryker issue orders to start construction on some tank thing. He turned and looked at me and I could tell I'm not going to like this at all.
"Well now Angelus. You have made it this far with all the tests. Since you now have to claws, we will add the next phase of the project."
"So what IS the next phase of this god damn project?"
"We're going to make you basically indestructible. Impervious to all harm. We are going to add Adamantium to your bones. When Adamantium cools, it becomes unbreakable. Its 3 times stronger than titanium. When we are done, you will be a perfect weapon."
Well isn't that something. Hopefully I can get out of this mess soon. I'm having difficulty remembering things.

November 1999
Silence.
Too much silence everywhere.
Where am I?
"Move hostile 5 into the tank." I overheard someone say.
"Hostile 5 in tank. Ready to proceed on your command sir."
"Add the Adamantium."
Why does that sound familiar? Whoa I'm water in some kind of tank. Oh shit, I can't move. AHH pain all over. I feel as if something is drilling all into me! Wait its getting lighter. Peace, I feel peace coming to me.
Silence then proceeds to follow.
It's silent.
Peace.
