Facility 17: Mad Scientist
Arrival At Facility 17
[Inside a dark prison transport vehicle. Prisoners are shackled to metal bars as the vehicle rumbles forward. The tension is thick.]
Daniel (1294)
(Glancing around at the others) Where the hell are they taking us?
Dmitri (7742)
(Grunts, his Russian accent heavy) Somewhere worse than prison. I can feel it.
Rosa (5811)
(Scoffs) Great. As if prison wasn’t bad enough.
Kai (3067)
(Quietly, almost a whisper) No guards inside. unusual. they don't fear us.
That means they fear what’s ahead.
Ezekiel (9902)
(Smirking, speaking cryptically) The lambs march to slaughter, blind to the blade above.
Daniel (1294)
(Frowns at Ezekiel) Yeah? How about you shut up unless you’ve got answers?
[The transport suddenly screeches to a stop. Chains rattle. The doors groan open, revealing floodlights and armored guards.]
[The prisoners step out, their eyes adjusting to the harsh lights. Towering concrete walls surround them. No windows. No sky. Just an enormous facility humming with unseen power.]
Rosa (5811)
(Muttering) This… isn’t a normal prison.
Kai (3067)
(Nods slightly) It’s something else. it's like a lab..
[A tall figure emerges from the shadows—sharp features, piercing eyes, a cold grin. His voice is smooth, calculated.]
Dr. G
(Smiles Hysterically, With A Grin) Oh...Welcome...Welcome… Dear Prisoners..to Facility 17.
Daniel (1294)
(Tensing up, instinct kicking in) And who the hell are you? a clown? (laughs)
Dr. G
Ah, introductions… how quaint. (He smirks, stepping closer.) I am Dr. Gregory Voss. But you will refer to me as… Dr G. And I Am not A clown (smiles).
Dmitri (7742)
(Coldly) What do you want from us?
Ezekiel (9902)
Want? No, no, my dear prisoners… (His grin widens.) I am here to give you something. An opportunity. A transformation. A chance to become… more... like a super hero (laughed again)
Daniel (1294)
(Narrowing his eyes) What the hell are you talking about?
[Suddenly, the doors behind them hiss open, revealing sterile, high-tech cells—each designed for confinement… or experimentation.]
Dr. G
(Coldly) Now..Enough with the chatter!..The trials begin now. ( Smiles then left)
[Guards grab the prisoners, forcing them forward. The last thing Daniel sees before he’s shoved into the dark corridors of Facility 17… is Dr
G smiling like a man about to play with his favorite toys.]
The Experiments
Scene: A cold, sterile laboratory inside Facility 17. Prisoners, including Daniel (Prisoner 1294), are restrained inside glass chambers. The room hums with machinery. Dr. G stands nearby, eyes gleaming with anticipation.]
Dr. G
(Smirking, pacing in front of the prisoners) Welcome, my dear test subjects. Today, we explore the resilience of the human body… or rather, how quickly it breaks.
Daniel (1294)
(Straining against restraints) What the hell are you doing?!
Rosa (5811)
You sick bastard! We’re not lab rats!
Dr. G
(Chuckles, amused) Not yet. But given time… (Pauses, tilting his head.) Perhaps you will prove worthy of being something more.
[Metal clamps tighten around their wrists and ankles. Above, a network of pipes releases two different gases—one side glowing red-hot with heat, the other coated in a layer of frost.]
Dr. G
(Grinning) Now… let’s begin.
[A loud hiss fills the air as the chambers flood with extreme heat and cold, switching rapidly every few seconds.]
Daniel (1294)
(Grimacing, his breath shaky as heat burns his skin, then freezing cold chills his bones) Agh—! Damn it—!
Dmitri (7742)
(Groaning but keeping his head high) This is nothing… I have endured worse.
Kai (3067)
(Voice calm but strained) No… this is different. This isn’t natural.
Rosa (5811)
(Panting, her breath turning to mist) This isn’t an experiment… they’re trying to kill us.
Dr. G
(Laughs, fascinated by their suffering) Oh, but death would be too simple. I am searching for something greater…
[Daniel’s vision blurs. His body screams in pain. But then—something changes.]
[His heart rate stabilizes. His body starts reacting faster to the shifts. He anticipates the temperature changes, adjusting instinctively.]
Daniel (1294)
(Whispering, realizing) What the hell…?
Dr. G
(Eyes narrowing, intrigued) Fascinating!!… Incredible!!.. Subject 1294 is already adapting! (Laughing Hysterically)
[Behind a one-way glass panel, Malcolm Raines watches. His jaw tightens, his hands clenching into fists.]
Malcolm Raines
(Muttering to himself) This wasn’t supposed to happen… Damn it, Greg, you’re pushing too far.
[As Daniel's body continues adjusting, Dr. G suddenly claps his hands.]
Dr. G
Wonderful!! Wonderful!... But we’re not done yet.(Laughing loudly while grinning)
Dr. G
now.. now.. inject HYPERX-17 serum to them!
[Mechanical arms lower from the ceiling, holding syringes filled with a glowing blue liquid—HYPERX-17.]
Daniel (1294)
(Breathing heavily, trying to recover from the first test) What the hell is that?!
Dr. G
(Grinning) Ah, I was hoping you’d ask. HYPERX-17… a special compound designed to push the human body beyond its limits. An… accelerant for evolution.
[The syringes stab into their necks, injecting the chemical. A burning sensation spreads through their veins.]
Rosa (5811)
(Screaming, her muscles tensing) AHHH—!!
Kai (3067)
(Breathing hard, gripping his restraints) Heart rate… increasing. Too fast.
Dmitri (7742)
(Teeth clenched, veins bulging) My body… feels like fire…!
Dr. G
(Watching with excitement) Yes… YES! this is what I was hoping for...Now we see who is strong enough to survive.
[Daniel’s vision sharpens. His mind accelerates. Everything around him moves in slow motion for a brief moment. His reflexes sharpen, his muscles feel lighter.]
Daniel (1294)
(Panting, looking at his hands) This… this is insane…
[Behind the glass, Malcolm clenches his fists. His expression darkens.]
Malcolm Raines
(Angry,murmurs to himself) Damn you Greg... what have you done...
Meeting Other Prisoner's
The prisoners lie unconscious in separate white cells...
The rooms are cold and sterile....
Daniel (1294)
[Groaning, his body stiff and aching] Ugh...What… the hell… was that?
Kai (3067)
[calmly sitting up, his movements unnaturally smooth despite the pain] Experimentation. And we survived it.
Rosa (5811)
[gritting her teeth, flexing her fingers as if testing them] Barely...I swear I..felt my blood freeze..
Dmitri (7742)
[Letting out a deep chuckle, shaking off the pain, with a heavy Russian accent]
Hah! You call that suffering? I've endured worse in a Siberian winter.
Ezekiel (9902)
[smirking, his voice eerily calm despite the ordeal] Pain is temporary....But survival?? Survival?..That’s a test of the soul...
AUTHOR: ASH IVORY
I'm starting to like Ezekiel.. 😁🤪
Daniel (1294)
[Blinking through the haze, scanning the others] …Who the hell are you people?
[A brief silence fills the room as they all exchange wary looks. Then, one by one, they introduce themselves.]
Kai (3067)
[Leaning against the wall, his dark eyes unreadable] Prisoner 3067. Kai Tanaka. Back outside, they called me "Ghost."
Daniel (1294)
[Frowning] Ghost?
Kai (3067)
[Nods slightly] Former assassin. People paid me to make their problems disappear. Until someone made me disappear instead.
Rosa (5811)
[snorting, rolling her shoulders] So, what? A trained killer with a fancy nickname? Great. Just what we need.
Kai (3067)
[Shrugging] I didn’t say I was on your side. I just said I’m here.
Rosa (5811)
[crossing her arms] Prisoner 5811. Name's Rosa Velasquez. Used to be a cop. [pauses, jaw tightening] Before I ended up on the wrong side of the law.
Daniel (1294)
[raising an eyebrow] A cop? And now you’re in here with us? [Laughed Slightly]
Rosa (5811)
[Smirking slightly] Yeah, funny how that works. Turns out, people don’t like when you dig too deep into things you weren’t supposed to see.
Dmitri (7742)
[grinning, his thick Russian accent making his words sound even heavier] Prisoner 7742. Dmitri Volkov. They call me "The Bull."
Ezekiel (9902)
[chuckling lightly] I assume that’s not just because of your charming personality?
Dmitri (7742)
[Grinning wider, cracking his knuckles] No. Because I do not break and I like to smash thing's like your face.
[Ezekiel Fell Silent, Others Laugh Uncontrollably.. ]
Daniel (1294)
[Stopped laughing and began studying him.]
War criminal?
Dmitri (7742)
[Nods, completely unfazed] Among other things.
Ezekiel (9902)
[smiling as if amused by it all] And then, there’s me. Prisoner 9902. Ezekiel Cain.
Rosa (5811)
[narrowing her eyes] Cain… wait. I’ve heard that name. You’re—
Ezekiel (9902)
[raising a hand, cutting her off] “Prophet,” yes...yes..That’s what they called me.
Daniel (1294)
[He tenses slightly, eyeing him carefully.]
You’re the leader of that Cult..The Children of the... something
Ezekiel (9902)
[Grinning] Cult? No, no, son. I simply gave people something to believe in. A higher purpose. And look where it’s brought me.
Kai (3067)
[Flatly] Facility 17. Shackled like the rest of us.
Ezekiel (9902)
[chuckling] Ah, but see, I don’t consider this a prison. This is merely… transformation...
Daniel (1294)
[Eyeing him suspiciously] You actually want to be here?
Ezekiel (9902)
[leaning forward slightly, voice almost hypnotic] I see opportunity where others see suffering...There is a reason we were chosen...You feel it, don’t you? The changes...The power waking up inside you... inside of each of us..
Rosa (5811)
[Rolling her eyes]
Great. A lunatic to complete the team. Just like that Doctor... whatever his name is...
Daniel (1294)
[Speaking Clearly] Prisoner 1294. Veteran Fighter. Daniel Cross. Killed the Bastard who raped my sister.
Rosa (5811)
[meets his gaze, her voice steady but tinged with a quiet understanding.]
Guess we’ve all got our demons. But we’re still standing, right?
Ezekiel (9902)
[steps forward, his expression unwavering, as if speaking with divine authority.]
Vengeance... is fleeting. The path to salvation is what guides us now. And that path, my brothers and sisters, leads beyond mere survival.
Rosa (5811)
[Rolls her eyes, thinking to herself.]
Here he goes again... a lunatic, as usual.
[A tense silence follows.]
[Despite their differences, they all understand one thing—Facility 17 has changed them. And it’s not done yet.]
[Suddenly, the door to their chamber unlocks with a sharp hiss.]
[A blinding fluorescent light floods the room, revealing more prisoners slumped against the walls—some groaning, some motionless. A low mechanical hum echoes through the walls. The air is thick with fear.]
Random Prisoner
[whispering weakly, his eyes unfocused] They… they don’t stop. The tests… they never stop…
Random Prisoner 2
[Sobbing softly] We’re never getting out of here…
[The other prisoners followed, sharing the same state of mind and physical exhaustion, some of them crying.]
Kai (3067)
[Lowering his voice, glancing at Daniel] Look around. Most of them won’t last.
Rosa (5811)
[clenching her jaw] Then we need to make sure we do... before we become like them..
[A metallic voice suddenly crackles through the intercom, cold and devoid of emotion.]
Inter Com.
Subjects 1294, 3067, 5811, 7742, and 9902—prepare for the next phase.
[The door slides open. Shadows loom beyond it. Guards stand waiting.]
Daniel (1294)
Daniel: [under his breath, fists clenching] …Shit...
