Noril'sk, Russia
Area 9
May 9 2019 5:33 p.m.
GI495 grabbed onto the wall of the corridor trying not to fall. The doctor's had trained him hard and his world was spinning as he walked down the hall to his cell. He stopped and closed his eyes he had gone with no sleep in the past two weeks and didn't know how much more of a beating he could take before he passed out. He was hurting.
"GI495 what do you think you are doing?" Dr. Sevarius said with anger when he saw GI495 leaning against the wall.
"I am sorry, Sir. It won't happen again." As hard as GI495 tried he could not keep the strain out of his voice as he spoke, and Sevarius became even more agitated.
"GI495 I want you to check on the subject in cell 411, and take her to sector 5 for processing if you would rather sleep tell me and I will send someone else." Sevarius's tone was mocking and there was a challenge in his voice. He delighted in any torment he could cause GI495. The doctor knew how long he had gone without sleep and was testing him. He wanted to see just how far he could push his little toy before he broke.
The doctor was always testing him.
"I will do it right away, Sir."
"See that you do."
With that GI495 continued down the hall. When he reached the girl's cell she was gone. He quickly checked the security panel, but there was no record of her leaving. His senses were on full alert. He searched for her scent, but it was lost to the other smells of the Sector. She had been gone for at least half an hour.
He let his mind search for her and he found her she was in an empty medical room with five guards. He ran to the room and shoved open the door. Four of the guards were standing around the girl as one guard held her down and was trying to pull off her pants. The girl had a nasty bump on her head and was dazed. The guards had been spooked by the interruption, but when they saw who it was they quickly relaxed and an evil glint went into their eyes.
"Well, well look who's come to join the party." One of the guards sneered at him. The four guards advanced toward GI495 as the fifth guard continued to hold the girl down.
"What's the matter? You didn't get enough yesterday?"
GI495 tried to go past the guards, but they stood in his way. He was not allowed to hurt them, but Dr. Sevarius had given him specific orders to make sure the girl was not attacked again and GI495 always followed his orders.
The guards were used to this monster in front of them they constantly beat on him. GI495 was big and intimidating; when the guards hurt him it made them feel stronger, and soothed their insecurities about their masculinity.
One of the guards looked up at GI495 and began to punch him in the stomach, but GI495 grabbed the guard's fist and held it firmly. The guard tried desperately to get back his arm and tried to use his other hand to punch him in the face. GI495 used his elbow to knock the guard out and dropped him to the floor; the ordeal had taken less then three seconds. The three guards looked at GI495 with fear, this had never happened before. GI495 looked at them and they all ran out the door, all that was left was one guard that had been too shocked to even get off the girl. GI495 walked towards him, but by that time he had come to his senses and backed away from the girl.
"L-Look I'm off her ok-k. Y-you can have her." He stuttered his words and stumbled out of the room.
The girl was crying.
GI495 approached the girl slowly. He gently touched her arm, but she did not respond.
Don' be gentle just grab her and put her in Sector 5 so that we can get some sleep.
GI495 shut down that thought that thought immediately. That thought was hatred and anger. It was something that he would and could not feel.
The girl looked up GI495 with tear filled eyes; she did not know who he was, but he had shown her something she had not seen in a long time. She desperately didn't want to cry, but she didn't know what she had done to deserve such a fate as this. She prided herself on being strong and never braking down no matter what the circumstance, but who was she trying to be strong for now? There was nothing and no one. She was alone.
She stopped crying after a few minutes and GI495 tried to help her stand, but her legs were wobbly and she would have fallen if he weren't there to catch her. He lifted her up in his arms and began the walk to Sector 5.
-The processing room-
"Put her on the table." Dr.Bendetson said to GI495.
GI495 did as instructed and placed the girl on the examination table.
Dr. Bendetson was a young doctor he was only a few years out of medical school, but was a master at his craft. Dr. Sevarius had enlisted him over a year ago, but Dr.Bendetson did not understand what he had gotten himself into when he applied. After Stevenson found out that Sevarius's organization was experimenting on humans he threatened to report him, but like anyone Bendetson had his own secrets and they would have been exploited if he said something.
Unlike most of the doctors, Dr. Bendetson was a compassionate man that felt guilt over what he was doing; therefore he treated his patients with a certain respect.
"What happened to her head?" Bendetson asked, as he looked the girl over; she had passed out before they had made it to the processing room.
GI495 was silent, he always was. Bendetson had gotten to know a lot about GI495 during his stay at Sevarius's labs. He knew that he had been processed before leaving an agency called Weapon X, but he did not know any thing about his history prior being handed away from Weapon X, except that there had been an "incident", and he had to be transferred. In the year the doctor had known the mutant he had never heard him talk, and GI495 could sometimes become so still that Bendetson wondered if he was still alive.
Bendetson put a cooling gel the girl's forehead, and let it sit for a few minutes before he washed it off. The gel was and anti-inflammatory that was applied to the skin, it was ten times more efficient than an ice pack and had been created by Sevarius himself.
After the gel was taken off, the girl started to come around and moaned from pain, her head felt like it was about to burst. She opened her eyes to see Dr. Bendetson looking down at her. There was a look in his eyes a pitiful, disgusted look as he spoke to her.
"Was it the guards again?"
It's only been a month since the last time. Bendetson thought to himself.
She did not speak for a long moment, but then said," Yes."
"I have spoken to Dr. Sevarius about this, but he can't do anything if you don't give us some names."
"What the Fuck do you care?"
Miriah looked away from the doctor she hated him, she hated all of them. He was about 5'11" and had brown hair and eyes; she supposed to some he might have been handsome, but to her he was the scum of the earth, and no false care for her well being was going to change that.
Dr. Bendetson said nothing he couldn't help this girl as much as he wanted to, it was too risky. Every time he saw her he felt more and more disgusted with himself; she reminded him of his little sister.
He knew much about her history and family; apparently Sevarius had been monitoring her for over a year before she came to Area 9. She was a mutant that could generate a strange kind of electricity. The electricity was cold and could generate enormous amounts of power. She was currently being used to provide energy to much of Area 9's light, heating, and machinery systems. Bendetson had seen the girl use her abilities and was blown away; the electricity was bluish grey and left strange crystals whenever she used it.
The crystals were more beautiful than diamonds, and more valuable as well.
Bendetson busied himself with his machine. He hated that machine; he hated it more than he could say, even though it was good for some reasons. The Processing machine made the subject easier to control; he had seen some insanely disturbed people become processed into calm, controlled individuals. If it was right to do this he did not know. Was it right to change someone who was a serial rapist or murderer into something new; into a clean slate? They had no memories of anything that had happened to them. No suffocating, painful images to deter them from the straight and narrow path.
Man could do it, but was it right?
Sevarius had the machines placed in mental wards all over the country. It was one way he had amassed his fortune, by helping families who were desperate to help a loved one. If a person had anorexia and was slowly starving themselves he could make them stop; he could make people who were monsters into saints and vice versa. In Sevarius's mind he was God.
"I'm going to strap you in now, Disarray."
"Don't fuckin' call me that, my names Miriah."
"Alright Miriah, relax." Bendetson said softly knowing she wouldn't remember him when he was finished, she wouldn't remember anything.
Bendetson strapped Miriah in and placed three nano needles into the base of her neck each one connected to the nerves that controlled her memories.
She was instantly immobilized and the Processing machine started to hum. Miriah's body started to convulse as the machine slowly erased her memories.
"Everything seems to be going smooth," Bendetson sighed to himself as the machine's computer screen showed him the amount of memory erased.
All of a sudden the machine started to spark, and the lights started to flicker and her heart rate skyrocketed. Bendetson tried to stop the machine, but was blasted back as it exploded.
Bendetson hit the wall with a thud, but managed to stay conscious. The first thing he noticed was that there was no heat, that did not make any sense considering he had been blasted into the wall by a ball of fire coming from the machine. When Bendetson looked up he was shocked, the machine had indeed blown apart, but it was frozen. He could see the ball of fire that would have claimed his life stopped in front of him. It was covered in a blue force field like device that prevented it from moving. Bendetson was too shocked to move he was in awe of what he was seeing, it was...beautiful.
GI495 quickly reacted to the explosion. He rammed into the machine pushing it away from the doctor, who was still looking at the frozen fireball. As soon as GI495 touched the machine the explosion continued, but this time it spared the doctor. Bendetson had by this time recovered from his shock and quickly got off the ground and limped as far away as he could from the blast that rocked the entire Sector. GI495 came out of the fire bunt very badly, but he didn't look nearly as bad as he should of, it was infact a miracle he survived.
The girl, Miriah, lay unconscious on the medical table. Her head was tilted to the side and her eyes bored into GI495's; they were haunting eyes that made even GI495 stop. Her eyes were accusing of him for what he had done. And GI495 felt...
Something?
-A memory-
"I love you, Kergon." A mysterious woman with a black veil covering her face said to him.
"And I, you. We are one now and forever." A figure said back to her with love and tenderness in his voice.
-End memory-
Just as soon as the feeling came, it went away. GI495 grabbed the emergency water hose and pulled down on the lever releasing a stream of water onto the blaze. After about 5 minutes the fire was quenched and GI495 put back the hose; by that time Sevarius himself was there and he was furiously yelling.
"What the Hell happened!"
"The experiment did not respond well to the treatment." GI495 answered evenly.
"Where is Dr.Bendetson?"
"I am right here Sevarius." Bendetson said as he walked through the wreckage.
"How did this happen?" That cool demeanor that Sevarius was infamous for started to creep back into his voice as he spoke to the doctor.
"I'm not sure, everything was fine until about a minute into the treatment when her vitals went up and the machine started to spark."
"Was she wearing a restraining collar?"
"Yes."
"Did anything else happen?"
Bendetson was hesitant to reply, but there was no use denying what he saw; Sevarius would see it on the security cameras. "The fire froze."
"Care to elaborate?" Sevarius said unconvinced.
"The explosion was...contained for a few seconds before it continued."
Sevarius was silent for a few minutes. He was quiet for so long that Bendetson grew concerned. "Sir."
"I want her put in a containment cell immediately!"
"But Sir-" Bendetson tried to explain that the girl was traumatized and isolation might permanently damage her.
"If I wanted you opinion I would have asked for it Dr.Bendetson." Sevarius said as he motioned towards the guards to take her away.
As everyone filed out of the room no one noticed the digital clock above the doors that read 6:66 before turning back to normal time.
-Sevarius's office several hours later-
"Dr. Sevarius, Mr. Director is on the video screen." a secretarial voice said through the intercom.
"Put him through."
"Well, well Dr. Sevarius a pleasure as always." The voice of the Director rang through the office cold and robotic.
"How can I help you?"Sevarius said coolly.
"I heard there was an incident today during the processing of one of your patients."
"This is true."
"What happened."
"It was nothing significant only an explosion that resulted in the damaging of the Processing agent. It was nothing that could not be replaced."
"Really? I heard otherwise." at that moment the Director leaned into the camera exposing his face. It was all Sevarius could do not to jump." Care to try again Sevarius?"
