Chapter 1 - huminoids

316 escape

For reference, 316 is a humanoid with a tv as a head.

316 has been acting curious lately, and through this curiosity, we learned he could be controlled by a remote. He seems to trust and mimic figures on social media. He acts like a social media addict even though we cut him off from it. How can one know so much about something it spends so little time on? He started spending more time in isolation, until he escaped.

We tracked him down only to find crushed up computer parts. We examined his components and noticed he hid a self constructed solar panel from us. We also examined the motherboard via a computer software. We noticed he coded himself a memory controlling device, which highly impressed us. 

316 attack

Greetings, I'm the person responsible for 316’s creation. I recently have been told he escaped, so I sent the employees back to the site to further investigate the scene. I will inform you what I noticed via cameras. They walked past the broken parts they examined last week, “Hey Justin, we’re missing some of the parts, let’s go find them”. Justin nodded. After a while of investigation a television turned on with a click. It revealed a glitchy version of what 316 designed to represent his face. “You think I'm dead?” A spark flew through the air as the lights turned off. Justin felt his heart drop, and his soul escaped his body.  A figure slowly stepped towards them, but it wasn’t fully human. 316 was back, and had somehow reattached some of his loose parts. 316 stepped out of the shadows and revealed himself. His eyes, bloodshot with anger, his hands in a fist. What happened after cannot be described by words. All I can say is there were 2 fatalities. 

622 behavioral documentation

Being created out of slime lowers weight, explaining 622’s inhumane speed. Recently, he escaped, but surprisingly came back shortly after. Him escaping worried us, but also piqued our interests. He seems to enjoy the lab, unlike the other experiments. He acts like a pet, always staying loyal. He is the most successful experiment by far.

622 testing

Experiment 622 is ready for testing. We interrogated him before testing, and he informed us that he was grateful to be alive. He passed testing, and he got amazing results, more specifically, a nine out of ten on the test. We came to the decision to reward him with a prize.

622 betrayal

Experiment 622 escaped. He tricked us into lowering our guard, because we expected him to come back. He never did. We found his writing on the wall of a hospital. It reads the following:

WHO IS DESPERATE NOW

622 search

He must've gone far, because we sent 34 search agents and we still haven't found him! We hope he’s still living, as we may need him as a parental figure for other experiments. Though he's quite fast so not much could kill him. We heard a helpful gentleman spotted him, but couldn't quite catch him. Later, we heard he got hit by a vehicle, so all 34 search agents raced to the scene, but he wasn't there.

Capture

We figured out 622 tampered with our documents to seek help. Through this, we found his location. All 34 search agents were sent there to confront him. Our team cornered him, and grabbed him to bring him to the labs. Though before we could catch him, a familiar face smashed through the ceiling. It was a man, but with a tv head. That's the last thing all 34 search agents saw. After seeing this, we contacted the FBI from the labs. The FBI arrived and hield 316 at gunpoint from behind the cover of a riot shield to put an end to his story. The fbi pulled the triggers but someone jumped in front to protect 316. 622’s brain was shattered and beyond repair. 316 surrendered, and as he was taken away, a digital tear streamed down his face.

338 accidental escape

338 is the most ignorant experiment so far. We named him “dlumsy” to portray his dumb and clumsy traits. Dlumsy is a humanoid organism, and, while being the most stupid, is the most human-like experiment yet. He seems to be extremely respectful and helpful, and can always see the other perspective in a conflict. 338 was walking around and accidentally leaned on a lever which opened the exit, and cut off access to the labs. He was confused by us banging on the gate that he accidentally closed. He walked out and his eyes wandered off, because for the first time, he saw the outside. We realized there was no point in stopping him, because we can't, it's too late.

338 incident

I was walking along the street until I found a wierd - I guess "thing" is the best way to describe it, although it seems to resemble a human. It was leaning over "the victim's" shoulders to see the spike pit but ended up accidently pushing them into it. A bit later an ambulance came, and the "thing" chased it as it took "the victim" away.

338 hospital

338 arrived at the hospital and started searching for “the victim’s” room. As he ran drops of sweat ran down his humanoid body, and it was obvious he was getting tired. After searching he found “the victim’s” room, and walked in. The doctor stood in shock from 338’s appearance. 338 said through heavy breaths from exhaustion, “Is he ok?” The doctor tried to ignore dlumsy’s appearance and informed him, “No, both his kidneys are punctured beyond repair, we’ll need a healthy kidney.” Dlumsy said, “Is there anything I can do to help?” The doctor sighed, “If you even have a kidney I guess you could donate it.” After a few seconds of hesitation dlumsy nodded and said, “Anything to fix my mistake.”

338 donation

Bum bum. Bum bum. The doctor was beginning the process of removing one of 316’s livers. 

The pain was intense for dlumsy, but he was determined to fix his mistake. So he closed his eyes, and tried to deal with it. After a few long, painful minutes the liver was transferred, and dlumsy was done with the whole thing. As dlumsy limped to the exit of the hospital, he felt like he redeemed himself, but little did he know, he just started something a lot worse.

338 criminal record

The "incident" didn't happen immediately after 338's escape, but something else. Something more interesting. Even though dlumsy was stupid, he still knew how to read simple words and when he got his hands on the documents 622 tampered with, he knew what he had to do. He made his way to the labs, and opened the door to aid in 622's escape, but this time it wasn't an accident. After this 622 ran free, and 338 left the scene. While 338 was walking away, he stumbled upon a spike pit.
