(in a laboratory filled with large tubes, and desks covered in notes and documents, a group of lab-coat wearing men and women examine a tube filled with a small creature suspended in fluid and wires sticking all over it: there magnum-opus.)
[head scientist] the patient seems stable enough for extraction.
[female doctor next to him, holding a tablet] yes, but its neural passageways are still developing; sir, (she looks at him) if we, continue to the testing phase from this point, without waiting for it's developmental stage to progress. it will be like we are doing it to a new-born human. it will only know pain from the first things it sees, not understanding why it will be subjected to things.
[head scientist], that’s the point of doing it now, it won't understand how to escape for quite a while, allowing more data.
[one of them]...does anyone else notice that this entire thing is stupid?!..making this...this THING, what we plan to do to it, and even expecting it to ESCAPE! even if it will never get outside, we will be INSIDE the building, meaning our lives will be forfeit for some amoral group of bastards that think just because they throw money at enough people they can use us like crash test dummies!
(there all silent for a second) .......(until the head scientist pushes a button and a pneumatic tube go's over the one who objected, and sucks him away)
(head scientist)..any more objections?...no?. Then let’s begin the next phase!
(small bubbles float up)....*blub*....*bluip*.........(the bottom hatch opens, draining the fluid)*whaf**fwooooooooooooo*
.....(the cables disconnect)*fweef-waf*
(it falls limp)*thump*
...........(it sturrs)...{at fil[what feel]}
....(gets up and open eyes)..{at dos?...ake I?[what those, make I?]}
....{connect fil,...imitate?[conect feel, imitate?]}
(it's body shifts to look like them more)...{wy thos tort faces ke dat, I o un-god?[why those make faces like that, i do ungood?] }
(outside the tube, all but the head are thinking: Oh, god, it turned into a childlike form, and it's cute)( while the head thinks: it turned to resemble us more, does it think it will be cared for if it does that?...nonsense.)..(he nonchalantly activated the gas, knocking the creature out cold in a matter of seconds)...well, what are you waiting for?. transport the subject!
----------------------------------------
(the creature wakes in a white room with a shiny wall)
{I feels bad, ...cold}...
option revealed: increase body temperature/on [64 /|\ 97]
{...blue thing}
(it reaches to poke it, but its finger goes through the screen before it disappears)
..{atleast warm}
.........{bored}
[assistant]the subject is awake doctor
[head] thank you, notify the other directly involved in this test
[assistant]right away sir
(5 min later)
[head]let us begin the first test, to see its pain threshold.
[scientist]on it(he pushes a button, and through the one-way glass, the ceiling opens up to reveal many blades and a table that straps the creature to itself)
*vzzzzzzzzzzzzz*
{what is that?}
(the circular saw blade begins to gut it)GYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
{PAIN-HURT, BAD!}
option revealed: pain tolerance
option revealed: numb part
...{pain gone}
(the blade stops and ascends)
....{stopped?}
( a drug is injected into it , and the pain comes back, this time, all over)
GYAAAAAAAAAA-AAAAAAAAAA-AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
chemical invading body, counteracting substance ETOC:30mins
body damaged, healing initiated ETOC: 60mins
ERROR: chemical substance and damage decelerate counteraction of each other: decelerated to: chem:1:30 , damge:2:00
{pain,pain,pain}
(it begins to cry and lets out and inhuman cry, it’s flesh rippling like a pond that had many pebbles thrown into it)
*eyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhggh*
(the scientists just look at the readings, as even worse things injure the creature, regretting making it humanoid, and trying to not think about having to do this bi-weekly)
[head]..limit reached, stop, now we wait until the effects wear off and then on to the next test: how much knowledge it can have crammed into its brain.
(the researcher turns it off, making everything but the table recede into the ceiling)
[researcher] so what will we put in its brain?
[head] basic speech to start, then data structures, then some useless data, like RPG mechanics, and a list of animals, real, extinct, and from mythology, if it's limit is not reached for the day.
(after 2 hours a helmet that looks like a mix of a VR and a football helmet descends from the ceiling clutches onto the creature's head)
{protection shell?}
(it turns on, feeding info into its brain, causing it discomfort mentally and physically)

(after a month of the tests, it tried something of its own volition. check what the screens that pop up sometimes were)
... {I hate Japanese giant hornets, I hate whatever a Japanese is, for spawning a thing that makes THAT STINKING STUFF ,..when I get out of this box, I will destroy this Japanese, maybe make them watch them eat their own eyeballs....wait,....that wouldn't work.}
(Author’s Note: the protagonist was never taught geography, or about cultures, so they don't know that Japanese refers to a people, not a creature or an individual, forgive their thoughts....)
... {......shouldn't I be hungry?}
(when it is rendered unconscious, abundant nutrients are fed to it with a nasal tube)
(unknown time)
this thing is a time bomb if it gets out of that sterile rooms. Its projected ability could manifest, and we are fucked.
the material given to it to make its body was already too much.
maybe we should treat it kindly?
no, you idiot, we can't when that psycho with the power to ruin us is around.
i just hope it all ends soon...
(year2)
(it's laying face first in its room)
{that last info injection made my head hurt more than usual,.....50 hours of redundant game feed ....I’m too tired to even be angry...it is the only thing that breaks up my periods of nothingness, besides the pain times with the injections and blades, as well as the times those blocks are dropped into here, but those go away when I don't want them to...where did those people I once saw go anyway?.. I hope there okay.}
(it begins to drift into sleep)..........*suuuuuu-huuuuuu,suuuu-huuuu*(it dreams of those it once saw at the beginning coming in to take it with them and showing it the world outside its room, with grass, and flowers, and bunnies, and food)
[head]. it’s asleep...I will entertain your request for it to get a companion, only as a test to see its reaction to another creature before we begin combat tests and implantation of control units.
[researcher] thank you, sir.
[head]...yeas...introduce the puppy...you did grow it without any bacteria, right?
[researcher]..um, yes sir{no, you asshole, we even gave it a severe cold, we can't take another year of this torture.}
[head]..you seem pained.
[researcher]wha-no, sir, I just thought about home.
(a carrier is placed on the floor of the subject's room, and opens to reveal a tiny sleeping puppy)
(hours later) ...{somthing tickles}.
(it opens its eyes to a puppy licking it)
..hi ,Lil guy

[researcher] we moved the time table up, bitch.
(the head walks to the keyboard and slams a button causing a pneumatic tube to envelope the man, sending him away to god knows where)
[head].... we have to kill the puppy....and increase the subjects aggression levels........why was it so low anyway?! it should of torn it to shreds!

*yarp*
[head, after calling a meeting of everyone].....I found the files.
(they all fidget)
[head]..., remember, you are all EXPENDABLE!
......
[the psychologist]..BULL-SHIT!
[the geneticist],yeah!
[female zoologist] we are the best in our fields! you just have a PhD in military science.
[psychologist] maybe the ones are just here to record the data and assistants are replaceable, but not us, you hack!.
[the head]......I will make it so you NEVER GET ANY FUNDING AGAIN!
[they all fall silent]
[head]..you will extract that dog, and if possible, terminate the subject.
(in the white room)
.....{there has been no pain time today....}
(one of the walls opens, and two weird yellow creatures come in)
{invisible}
[1]....where'd it go?
[2]I don't know!
(the wall swiftly closes)
.....{voices, like the ones from the ceiling}
(the puppy thing yaps at them)
[1]oh-god, what did it do to that dog?
[2] probably testing its powers out.
[1]....or to hide it.
.....
......
....lets ...just...just release the gas..
(they open the canisters on their backs, and spray the room, making the puppy koff up blood)
[I]*GASP* PUPPY!

..*koff, KOFF*..

(it swipes both of the people's masks, tearing them off in one single motion)
(they panic, and demand the door open
........
(it opens, after almost a minute)
(all 3[4 if you count the held pup] run out)
[RESERCHER WHO OPENED THE DOOR] OH, FUCK, IT'S OUT!
[I]..I’m...out?..........
(it's eyes adjust to the dimly lit room new room; only to see the white coat wearers with terrified expressions ) ........
(the room is silent)
...mommies and daddies?....
...........................................................................................................................................
[head]..WELL, WHAT ARE YOU LOT WAITING FOR? GET IT BACK IN IT'S BOX!
(no-one moves a god damn muscle, paralyzed by fear, of their futures and if they will have futures to live soon)
[I]...wait....you...you all...put..me...in that room....with the pain...and the boredom
(they all look ashamed, all but the head)
....and the stories for my head....
(it looks down, a shade over its eyes)
.........*hmq*..........
(it puts the puppy down)
.......well.... You're basically my parents...
(stretches out its arms with a smile, one somehow so innocent, yet so malicious)
i should look like you, shouldn't i?.
.., how about a hug.!..
(it runs at them)
DNA structure complete: human[homo-sapian]
(hugs all of them, one after another, changing them into tall, long-eared, squinty-eyed, blond humanoids)
(they are all in shock until the end)
...(after it finishes, it looks like a thin, raven-haired girl of 12 years with eyes like a dog)
.....w-why, did you spare us like this,..w-we did so many painful things to you.
[I].......
(shows them all there key cards dangling from her freehand)
....because you're my parents.
