Maxwell Walker was 15 when he escaped. At 12AM, midnight, October 18, 2029, his inhibitor chips got overloaded by a massive surge of energy through his neurons. The chips can handle a lot of energy, but not a surge. He decided to fake it for a while. A light turned on and the door opened. He walked down the dotted path to his experiment. The door opened and there were scientists already there. They strapped him in the chair by the hips and feet. Just before the needle was inserted, he blew his cover.

He grabbed the neck of one of the scientists and threw him into the other after unlocking his restraints. But before he could rest, the alarms went off and CryTech soldiers came in. Maxwell thought quickly and disarmed one and used him as a human shield. Then, he killed the rest with the FALCN-57 (kinda a Five-SeveN mixed with a Tec-9) that he obtained.  He ran down the hall and freed Dilyn, another test subject. They both ran down the halls, looking for an exit.

A few weeks before, Madison Kane, a hacker, found out about the experiments that CryTech has been doing in the past decade. She decided to quit, so she ran out of the cybersecurity division, to the armory to grab a Sidewinder (a full auto micro missile launcher), and out of the building. She joined the Rippers shortly after.

Maxwell and Dilyn were cornered. Backing up against a window. they were stuck. Then, Max got an idea: break the glass and jump out. So he broke the glass and they jumped out. Max landed on his feet, while Dilyn landed face first. She got up and she was fine, if not for some cuts and a piece of glass in the back of her neck. After they got up, they saw their escape plan.
