HIRD-PERSON POV:
November 13th, 2011

Doctor Otto Octavius, the scientist working for Norman Osborn on his secret project had ended up in the hospital after his lab blew up. To aid him in his research, Otto had created 4 mechanical tentacles to help him, normally humans wouldn't be able to do the stuff the tentacles can.

The miscalculation that led to the blast fatally injures Otto, and he is taken to Elliot Memorial, a local hospital, and gets treated there.

His arms have now completely fused to his body because of the blast, causing the doctors to operate on him as soon as he got there.

As the surgery continues, the room is filled with the hum of machinery and beeping monitors. The hospital hallway is bustling with doctors and staff moving about their tasks.

Inside the operating room, Doctor Octavius's eyes snap open. He's lying on the surgery table, his body still.

"What...?" Octavius mutters, confused.

Doctor Octavius's arms, which are fitted with advanced mechanical tentacles, twitch involuntarily.

"No! No! What is this?!" His mechanical arms start to move independently, breaking free from their restraints.

The surgical team backs away in shock as Doctor Octavius's mechanical arms lash out, knocking instruments and equipment off tables.

"What's happening?"

"It's Octavius! His arms are out of control!" the other doctor says, terrified.

The mechanical arms continue their erratic movements, smashing into the surgical equipment.

Suddenly, start blaring throughout the building.

["Code Red! Code Red! Lockdown initiated. All personnel, please proceed to secure locations."]

Panic ensues as people rush to find safety. Patients, doctors, and nurses are rushing through the hallways, trying to find safety.

"Stay calm, everyone! Follow the evacuation signs!"

Doctor Octavius's mechanical arms are now tearing through the operating room, causing chaos.

"No! I must regain control!" Octavius struggles.

One of the mechanical arms accidentally strikes a surgeon, sending the doctor crashing to the ground, killing him.

Patients and medical staff are huddled in the emergency room, frightened and uncertain.

["Attention all personnel. Doctor Octavius is in control of the surgical department. He's armed and dangerous. Stay in secure locations until further notice."]

"He's taken control of the entire surgical department. We can't let him get out of there." The security officer says grimly.

The neurotransmitter that Octavius had planted on his neck had been fried, wo he loses control of his mechanical arms once again. The situation escalates into chaos, leading him to take the hospital hostage.

Meanwhile...

"You free tonight?" Gwen asks Zain.

"Yeah. What's up?"

"Wanna watch a movie?"

"Sure."

"Are you alright?" she asks, worried.

"Yeah, I'm fine." he replies, stone-faced.

"Doesn't look like it..."

"I know. I-It's nothing..."
