"...Hey are you okay? You look like you ran a mile!"
----------------------------------------------

"Andrew... Andrew, follow my voice... ANDREW!".
"YENI!" I yelled the second I woke up, drenched in sweat, and panting heavily. "Whoa, dude its just me." Michael said, surprised. "What happened?" I asked. "I think we inhaled sleep gas..." Michael said, looking around the dim and empty room (empty except for the 20 dazed and unconscious people lying on the floor). "Where's June?" I asked.

"She's still unconscious. She was in one of the late testing groups." Michael answered. I got up on my feet and walked around looking for her. Then, I spotted her lying in a corner. Her glasses were cracked.Without saying a word, I sat next to her and got lost in my thoughts.

"... What's the matter, Andrew? Staring into space again?" June whispered as she opened her eyes. "Uh, what!? Were you awake this whole time!?" I exclaimed, with red cheeks. "Nope. But I heard you a second ago." June responded. "Women are mysteries we walk among, huh?" Michael teased. "Very funny." I said sarcastically. "Where the hell are we?" June said as she took off her cracked glasses. "Maybe in the lab section of the building..." I said. "Hmm... That's strange... There aren't any doors..." June said as she looked around the room.

"I'M SURPRISED YOU GOT THIS FAR INTO OUR HISTORY IN SUCH LITTLE TIME..." a loud female voice echoed through a hidden speaker. I jerked suddenly to see where the oddly familiar voice was coming from. "What do you want!?" Michael yelled, looking around. "I'VE BEEN WATCHING YOU THREE CLOSELY SINCE THE FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL." the woman said in a sinister tone. "IN JANUARY OF 1988, THE GOVERNMENT CLOSED US DOWN AFTER OUR 'SMALL INFRACTION' THAT WE HAD WITH ONE OF THE EXPERIMENT GUIDELINES FOR PRIVATE FACILITIES..." the young woman said.

"BUT NOTHING STOPPED US. NOT EVEN THE ARRESTS OF THE MAJORITY OF THE STAFF." she added.

"WHEN THIS BECAME A BOARDING SCHOOL, A PAIR OF BOOKISH TEENAGERS YOUR AGE STARTED MEDDLING AROUND THE ARCHIVES AND COLLECTING DATA AROUND 1996. I CAUGHT THEM, HOWEVER, AND LET'S JUST SAY THEY WERE NO LONGER A PROBLEM. BUT THEN, YOU PICKED UP WHERE THEY LEFT OFF BECAUSE OF SOMETHING THEY LEFT BEHIND... BUT ENOUGH TALK, LET'S DO BUSINESS HERE."

Immediately after she finished talking, the ground started shaking uncontrollably. Struggling to stay on my feet, I stuck out my arms to stay balanced. But the shaking stopped as quickly as it began. Suddenly, three large tubes came down and encased us. At this point, my heartbeat was so loud that it was all I could hear. The next thing I knew, we were in another level of the secret lab.

An automatic door opened, and revealed a young woman in a professional suit. My eyes grew wide and my heartbeat grew louder. It can't be...

Hello! This is a message from the author!
