About: Jay Alkain

We've just made a major breakthrough in Jay Alkain's mental conditioning. A few years ago, we discovered the connection between emotion and the increase in intensity of the subject's negative energy output. By subjecting him to… more unconventional methods, his output of energy skyrocketed, exceeding even the output of Éclair and Snow temporarily.

As his sanity deteriorates, his power just keeps going and going, and exposure to the Engine just makes his power go nuts!

Tomorrow we're amping it up to Tier 15. It's gonna be big, Sayer. We can make gods through this! Imagine the potential, Divine. Once Tier 15 is over with, I'll sneak Alkain out and bring him to the Movement.

Then the world will be ours.

I had tried. Believe me, I had tried everything in my power to try and stop Project Akron. I had tipped off news agencies, but they dismissed my claims as ridiculous. I tried to go to Sector Security, but I found out the hard way that they're on Chessary's payroll, only narrowly escaping custody.

I even tried to tell the Director. I tried everything. I'm sorry everyone, but there's only one option left. I have to end Alkain's life, to override the Engine to make it kill him when he goes inside it tonight. It's the only chance I have to prevent something terrible from happening.

Wish me the best of luck, everyone.

I'm sorry.

I'm so, so sorry. I've killed so many. My tampering with the Engine was stupid and foolish. The increased pressure must have neutralized his chemical restraints, and now… now Alkain's free. He's on the run, he's out, and he could be anywhere!

Only good thing to come out of all this is that all Houston's dead. I saw Alkain tear him apart myself. I tried to stop laughing, believe me, I tried, but I couldn't.

I'm so sorry.

Alkain's loose now, and it's only a matter of time before he starts murdering people. He's not right in the head, he's delusional and insane. I can't even dare imagine what he'll do once he gets started.

*sound of a door being slammed open*

"Monkey?"

"Doctor Kroe? Okay, I know what this looks like-"

"I need your help. I need your help in stopping Alkain."

"W-what?!"

"It's my fault that my research was used for this. But I know of a way to stop him, Monkey."

"W-why do you need me?!"

"I need you to do the coding for me on the second Dracomorphic Engine."

*sound of feet stamping on the ground*

"No! No, I am not taking part in more experiments where we torture and kill people just because we're looking for a new renewable energy source! Get out!"

"This Engine doesn't work like that! It transmits a signal that interferes with the negative energy and disables control over the victim's motor skills!"

"Oh, so you're making a puppet machine now?!"

"It's my only way to stop Alkain before he does any more damage! Monkey, I'm begging you here! I need you to code the Engine so we can stop Alkain!"

*silence for around 7.29 seconds*

"Okay. Okay, I-I'll come with you."

*sigh*

"Good. Follow me Monkey, and bring your equipment. We're leaving in ten minutes."
