Discovering Elements

Subject 1370 (Cai)

Cold. The first thing I felt was cold. I laid there for several minutes, listening for anything to tell me where I was but the silence was total. It was a blanket, suffocating. I opened my eyes to a bright blue room, and a table with chairs. I stood up, surprised by the surroundings. I looked around, noting the place was nothing like a cell; it could have been a daycare or something. Kids books were on a shelf, and there were stuffed animals and more of an assortment of kids toys. I looked over at the table, the only non-daycare like item in here. On it sat a glass of (hopefully) water and a plate. I ran over to the plate, just realizing how hungry I was.

The water was ice cold, some ice cubes still floating on the top. The food on the plate was warm turkey and mashed potatoes. I sat back after I was done to think. Since they were still in different temperatures than room temp, I figured someone had been in here recently. I looked around for an exit and saw nothing. No door, no window, not even a removable tile. A double check revealed no new exits or entries. I got up and started feeling around the walls. At some point a found a thermostat, and raised the temperature. At least I wouldn't get hypothermia. I sat against the wall, enjoying the heat and thinking of a way out. I was about to fall asleep, the turkey getting the better of me, when I saw a second thermostat across the room. Why would you need two thermostats for one room?

Test subject 1370 has successfully taken his pills through his meal. He is currently falling asleep. He has not found the exit, but the bot in the pills will reveal more. 11:57:45.

I stood up to the world shifting, changing. Unlike an earthquake, everything shimmered. In front of me a whirlwind of baby powder gathered together. It finally stopped spinning as I thought my lungs could no longer take it. Where it was, a baby crawled out of the dust. I bent down to pick it up when I found my arms and legs locked. Whatever was going on, I could only watch. The baby crawled a little closer when it started growing. It became a toddler that I remembered from photographs. It kept growing, looking somewhere around eight. It was crossing its arms and looking at me. The memory of how I used to do that all the time made me squint, to see if it could be some form of me. Suddenly I was looking at myself, scars and all. It was almost like a mirror, but he could move freely. After that, it changed. It got shorter, almost impossibly low. Wondering why it was showing me this after what I looked like, I looked closer. It grew clear and stopped moving, but I wish it had. There was a gravestone marker with my name on it. I felt my limbs able to move again as I heard sobbing. The room shifted, becoming the graveyard. My parents stood over the gravestone, tears chasing down their faces.

In the distance I saw Kaiti, Izak, Merlin, Lily, Aloe, and some little boy. Kaiti and Izak were on the ground, crying. Ice was slowly spreading around Kaiti, leaving a circle around Izak as heat radiated from him. Merlin was trying to stay strong, but there were still tears on his face. Lily and Aloe were hugging, Lily setting her head on Aloe's shoulder. The boy sat there, playing with trucks. A black hearse pulled up, filled to the brim with teary relatives. The last ones to come out were my grandparents, holding a baby. My parents grabbed the baby and hugged it. I realized it was my baby brother, the one my mom was still pregnant with. She would be somewhere around eight months now, so this is going to happen in the next several months. I walked closer to them to trip and fall, the scene turning black in wisps of smoke.

Subject 1370's microchip has been activated. Brain is showing signs of temporal anomalies similar to that of the Subject 1368. Currently in a state of relapse. 13:01:32

Subject 1370 has perceived a piece of the future without harm to the frontal cortex. All parts of the brain are showing signs of activations. Side effects are as follows: Twitching, irregular heartbeat, and fever of an average of 102˚ Fahrenheit. 13:14:21

Subject 1370 has stopped showing signs of temporal anomalies, and side effects had decreased. Lingering damage shown, but in small amounts. Subject has not shown ability, nor suggested what it might be. 14:02:13

I snapped to focus, my brain hurting. I got up to look for an exit when I remembered the thermostat. I rushed over to find the wall hollow. Since there was still no obvious exit, I tackled the wall. A cloud of plaster shrouded the room. I stumbled through the body-sized hole. I came into a new room where the walls were painted purple. Bookshelves lined the walls, some in the middle of the room creating aisles. The library was empty, except for books. I looked around for an exit, and again nothing. On the desk sat a steaming cup of some brown liquid. I grabbed it and took a drink, glad that whoever trapped me in here was giving me the things I needed. I was looking through the aisles of books for anything out of place when wood shards shattered. The bookshelf next to me had exploded.

A figure in a ski mask came at me. His fist aimed at my face, but I dodged out of the way. Whoever trapped me must want me to use my power, so they sent a guy to do it? Let's see who wins. He came rushing at me and I body rammed him. He hit the ground hard and passed out.

Subject 1370 has taken the new nano technology. It has refused to its powers in an attempt, but the chip is tracking it closely. If anything is done, it will be monitored and diagnosed. Other attempts to recreate his successful attempt has failed. Beginning synthesizing his resistance to temporal anomalies. 14:45:58
