Prototype's Story

The Machine

Once the lights went out, I heard a crash.
Since the lights were out I could see very well at all, but I did see a dark shadow hop up on the big lab table and take some things.
The shadow moved around a lot and then jumped down off the table and made a weird squeaking/growling noise.
And then it left.
After a few hours I got pretty bored and eventually fell asleep.
"Are you afraid" an ominous voice said from a dark corner in the room.
"Who are you?!" I called
I got a low hissing noise in response,
"ansswer my question"
"Show yourself first"
A solid black monster smiling a Cheshire grin walked out.
And that's when I finally woke up.
The room was lit again and my ball was filled with the liquid again.
I really wanted to figure out what it was but there was no time for that.
The human I saw the other day was not here today so I guess she was on break or something and that didn't really matter. A different human was yelling at everyone about something waving a pencil in the air.
Some other humans walked over to the one waving the pencil and continued to look frustrated, and one went to a cabinet and took a some sort or spray can out.
It sprayed all over the room, well everywhere except the cages and glass containers.
'Hmmmmmmmmm.'
I thought, maybe a pest is ruining all the pencils, but I don't see how you can ruin a pencil the one the human was showing the other humans looked perfectly fine.
Anyways another human came over to my ball and stuck another sticker on that blocked my front view to the lab.
I stared at the floor and wall for who knows how long but after a while the ground shook and my ball was taken down again.
The tube on top was detached but they didn't open the ball like they did last time instead they stuck my ball and me in a big metal thing that looked about twice the size of my ball.
They closed a hatch on the top and everything went pitch black.
I couldn't hear or see anything and soon began to tire.
I fell asleep and began to dream, it started out in an ocean, or could breath underwater and see almost clearly then, a black fog came in around me, it was so thick I couldn't see my hand in front of my face.
Then a white figure stepped out accompanied by the same one that haunted my last dream. Scared, I swam away quickly but the water around me disappeared and I began falling.
Then I woke up.
My dark room was moving quickly.
I could barely hear anything, and I couldn't see either, all I knew was that I was being sloshed around quite a bit and there was a "click-clapping" noise of either a four legged creature or a biped with too big of shoes.
That didn't really matter.
The sloshing stopped and I heard a buzzing sound, the sound of electricity. Then a clicking noise. Then as I was looking around with my useless eyes, the light literally blinded me for over ten seconds, going from pitch black to solid bright white light hurts I can tell you.
Then a shadowy outline picked me up by the tail. I coughed hard with the contact with air thing again, I hoped these idiots wouldn't put me back into any other containers like that one.
They didn't.
Being held up by my tail was agonizing, like my spine was being pulled out slowly and my shoulders and pelvis were locked into place. So I could barely move. The silhouette was starting to turn into a human again. But I still couldn't make out the face, not that it mattered but still....
It set me in another ball but this one was empty and slightly translucent, then I could finally see it a bit more clearly, it was a he.
He picked up the ball and stuck it an another container that was made of metal, I wasn't able to see the front of it though.
Once I was in he screwed on a lid and... left? I didn't know.
About five minutes of boredom later three bright screens lit up in front of me.
This was probably the weirdest thing I had experienced unexpectedly so far.
One screen just displayed the word intelligent in big bold letters, the one next to it said "would you like to begin" and the third one held a start button.
So of course I pressed it and they all went blank, and moved into a perfect row so it would seem to display a single screen.
They now displayed:
1. What are you?
The possible answers were:
[a] a breed of rat dog
[b] a cat hybrid
[c] you don't know

This baffled me, I knew I was a rat dog but why would they ask it as a question so, I pressed the correct answer.

A giant loading screen popped up, and I was left to wait.
The screens separated after a bit, one came closer to me and the other two went about parallel to each other a bit further away.

On the screen closest to me, a bunch of random readings appeared, and the other two seemed to be feed on a cameras within the lab or something.
Suddenly,
The loading bar reached 100%, the screens brightness fluctuated a bit and the whirring of a motor surrounded me.
