”But am I really that different from you?”
The scientists have found a new plant. “Offany” they call it. After 5 years of discovering it, the scientists have found a ‘use’ for Offany. If grinded to powder and injected into the bloodstream, it gives the user a power.
A milliliter of Pure Offany was injected into Experiment #OF001’s bloodstream. After a week, it (the experiment) has poison skin. We (the scientists) have learned this the hard way, John Helix has yet to recover.
A milliliter of Pure Offany mixed with a milliliter of water was injected into Experiment #OF002’s bloodstream, after a week, it developed perfect aim. We found out after Experiment #OF001 complained about how Experiment #OF002 always shoots the ball into the basket. After a few tests, we can conclude Experiment #OF002 has perfect aim.
John Helix did not recover.
Obsessed with their new findings, the scientists add new things to the powder and inject in teenagers from a shady foster care.
The scientists first erase the teens’ memories, then inject the Offany mixed with other substances into the bloodstream. Then they lock them in their individual ‘room’, which is more of a decorated cell. After a week, they are brought back to the lab to see what power they have gained.
Then they are locked in their ‘room’, with robots to deliver them food, and given other basic necessities.
The scientists no longer need the experiments. They have found a more interesting case to work on.
“Henry, do you remember our Offany experiments?” Jenny asked, looking worriedly at her device.
“Our…? Wait. Oh yeah. The one where John Helix died?” Henry frowned, turning away from his current project.
“Yes, that one.” Jenny nodded, watching him take off his gloves, “Experiment #OF001 and Experiment #OF002 escaped last night. Nothing else escaped.”
“Oh shame.” Henry yawned. “Please explain why I care?”
“The two experiments have our governors captive.”
“Oh. Well send out the other experiments to capture the two.” Henry blinked.
“But-” Jenny protested.
“Just do it.” Henry growled, “And get out of my lab.”
“Yes sir.” Jenny whimpered, rushing out the doors.
