"Goodnight Mom and Dad." I sheepishly said while I made my slow walk into my room and flopping myself straight to my bed.

I heard a crash and a rumble from what it felt like a normal day's worth of sleep, I was jerked awake by it instead, I was in a bunker like area with 3 figures in a full black suit, I tried to run away from them, they started to run after me but I tripped on something and was soon was hit with a bat like thing and was knocked out.

I soon woke up and opened my eyes, I was in a containment pod like thing in a white hospital-like room. The pod was made out of a crystal clear like substance, not like glass or plastic but like a barrier that pushes things back into it or out of it.

I looked around and there was no living thing near me I could see, I looked beside me and I saw lines of empty pods, I tried to move my arms but they were restrained to the pod.

A couple minutes later, I heard slight footsteps and a mumble in what seemed to be in a language similar to German. Then something in clear English.

"So how's test subject 3 AGK?" The voice declared

"Pretty stable, it should be waking up any minute now." Another voice responded back to the other voice.

Test subject? What the hell type of place I am in? The footsteps slowly faded. Five minutes later I heard more footsteps coming my way. Hearing slightly robotic voices and a mist of fog and the door opening, A creature with what looked like a cyborg-ish head looked at me.

"What the..." I said while trying to move my arms soon seeing that they are still restrained with my legs.

I let out a slight groan, apparently that was enough to make the creature know me.

"Whoa whoa there, I am not coming to harm you." It whispered in a slightly calming voice

"Why should I believe you? You are the one that probably tied me up in the first place." I responded

The creature soon got me out of the harness and tried to introduce itself.

"Hello, my name is Viger. I know things are confusing right now. But I am here to get you out of here." He murmured back to me

"O-ok." I said slowly getting out of the pod and attempted to walk, but my legs were stiff as a rock like I slept for a week straight.

I soon unstiffed myself and soon got my balance.

"What's the date? I kinda forgot." I added, rubbing my eyes.

"Welp, it's 12/15/2050." Viger replied rubbing their visior

I looked in disbelief, including how I didn't age in 30 years, or at least feel the slightest bit older. I looked at Viger and took a deep breath.

"Wait, are you serious? I haven't aged a bit, it feels like." I responded to Viger

"That was maybe due to your body going into a hibernative state, at most you probably only aged a year." Viger declared, leading me out of the pod and into a building.

Viger gets down on his knees in front of me.
"Now, you're lucky you are with me, you were about to be subject to an experiment when they found out about you 10 years ago." Viger replied while pulling out a keycard and unlocking a door that lead us outside

The sky was pitch black, most likely it was either early morning or late night.

"Now, I can't be caught with you in my possession, this is for mine and your safety, I'll have to call up a friend to take you somewhere safe." Viger said

A phone number scrolls along the visor as they start to talk to someone in what seems to be a different language for a couple minutes and in the matter of no time, someone else is here.
