Chapter Text
‘Now, as the final part of the introduction tour, it’s time for you to see the subjects.’
‘Okay, sir. Am I going to talk to them, or...?’
‘Of course not. You’ll be viewing them on these cameras. Now, this is subject 22-9-18-7-9-12. He has the power of invisibility, being able to disappear at will. He also is able to create force fields. We got him in four months ago.’
‘How has he not escaped, with that ability?’
‘Tracking device on his ankle. The next is subject 16-1-20-20-15-14. Coming in four months ago, he can heal the injured. He also can converse with animals. Next, we have subject 12-15-7-1-14.’
‘Sir, the screen’s just static.’
‘Static? ...Oh, not again. That’s the third camera he’s broken this week. This subject, who was brought in two months ago, is able to move things with his mind.’
‘He’s telekinetic?’
‘Precisely. He’s used his abilities to rip the camera’s off the walls, cutting off the feed. He’s the only one to have even noticed the cameras. As well as telekinetic abilities, he has telepathy.’
‘I can’t help but notice that they all have two powers... Is it some sort of pattern?’
‘We thought the same thing, until a month ago, when subject 18-15-13-1-14 was brought in. He is pyrokinetic, being able to create and manipulate fire. But that is his only ability.’
‘Any other subjects?’
‘This is all we have for now, but we know there are more out there. However, I think it’s time to start the tests on our current group. Now, your duties while you are here will be simple. You will take food to the subjects at mealtimes, replace any destroyed cameras whilst they are sleeping, and monitor the cameras the rest of the time. But, who knows, if you do a decent job, you might just get a promotion. You’re first task is simple. Press that red button there. Then, the first test will begin.’
