The "Escape"

"Sir. Subject 30 is waking up." One of the scientists in my command told me through our communications relay. I raised a brow, as subject 30 hadn't been out cold for long. typing in a few commands on my holopad I gave a curt nod.

"So she is. Ensure all our monitoring equipment is operational and stand by." I took a quick look over her file, Subject 30. Nothing special about her. Yet our sedative wore off hours earlier than our other subjects. I continued glancing over the file as she moved around the room examining her surroundings.

"Hello!?" she called out in a tone of confusion and curiosity. I watched as she moved to the IV bag pole her slender fingers reaching out for it and wrapping around it gingerly. she lifted it then looked straight into the camera as I watched, a small grin spreading across my face. Finally, an interesting one. "I don't have time for this" she muttered taking the IV pole and chucking it at the glass window in the door to her room. she moved quickly not like the other subjects. we are making progress most definitely.

taking some quick notes I continued to watch her progress, by now she had managed to unlock the door to her room. Freed several other "Patients" and they all have made their way through the halls of our "Hospital" they overpowered the guards as they moved taking weapons and security cards.

"Okay Introduce Hercules" I relay to the others controlling the experiment. a few key clicks later and another screen comes to life. Project Hercules. Super Soldier serum was injected into several subjects. All but one died and the one that lived has little brain function. That was until we augmented his brain. More of an android than a human now, still the serum keeps his muscles taught and his healing factor is off the charts. But to perfect Our Ladies request our new test subjects had to overcome Hercules. First Person Point of View of Hercules provided us with environmental data, full body scans of the subjects and precision flaw analysis. state of the art technology indeed. I input my command code. which flashed across the screen. Search and destroy Subject 30.

"Command Received" Hercules spoke out his voice deep and robotically enhanced. he started down the hall, in all our test the subjects had never made it this far this fast. By this point, we would have had to unlock the door and let them think they escaped on their own. Watching the screens intently as Hercules turned the corner and Subject 30 froze in place. she seemed to shake off the fear quickly however and drew the pistol she had taken from the guard popping off several shots as she instructed the others to make a run for it. Hercules took the shots easily and progressed knocking the gun from her grasp and bringing a hand up to her neck.

"damn" I muttered, I had high hopes for this one Hercules began to squeeze his fist closed around her neck and I began to shut down the screens following her,

"NO!" she screamed out making me look up in time to see her eyes glow red as she pried Hercules fingers from her neck and pushed him off her. "I.. WILL... NOT... DIE... HERE!!!" she screamed out louder as Hercules brought his fist up to hit her again but she caught his fist easily, an error message flashed across Hercules screen.

"Warning, extensive damage received. Activating RAGE" Hercules wrist-mounted blade extended stabbing into her stomach. She gasped as blood spurted from her mouth. a small grin spread across my face. Progress was made tonight one way or another. the glow in her eyes began to fade, she had accessed the well of power given to her, but she didn't know how to control it. how to fully bend that power to her will. Our Lady needs a true challenege. so, until we get a subject who is able to bend that power. we will continue out experiments.

"Please" she whimpered out as hercules pulled the blade from her more blood pouring out from the wound. "D...dont kill me" her voice was pathetic, after all the amazing things she accomplished today shes reduced herself to begging.

"Hercules. End the test" I commanded, the message across the screen told me he received the order and soon her whimpering ended.

"Alright, boys. Reset the hospital, input this data into the computer and prepare to print subject 31."

"Yes sir" I received as I picked up my holopad and walked down the hall from the monitoring station, I stepped up onto the lift and hit the top floor. going through the data I nodded. this clone subject 30 was special after all. we made a breakthrough with the changes we made between 29 and 30. every clone now was an improvement. reaching the top floor I made my way to Her. Our Lady.
