Reply to comment by black_as_my_soul in [WP] You're a researcher in an artic research base studying humans who are born with strange 'abilities'. A shapeshifter who's 'ability' has no known limit, have broken open her containment cell. by Lhenkhantus
"Subject A068, what do you want?"
Subject A068, unnatural seductress with power to influence minds of humans, animal and plants.
"Hehe, i just wanted to talk, you haven't visited me in a while..."
She answers with a soft giggle. Her warm eyes met my cold and indifferent eyes. Her warm smile did not have any effect on me.
"Don't talk to me A068, i have no time to spare Subject A106 has escaped... I hope you're not hiding 'that'."
"Don't worry my dear professor, i would never betray you... Are you feeling well, it would sadden me to see you hurt... "
"Besides a few broken ribs for last week Subject A044 escape i fine enough..."
"P-please stay here for a while, i know what you're about to do, so... Stay with me for a bit longer..."
She pleaded with a worried face, worried about a man that made her suffer so much
"Unfortunately for you, i have to fullfil my duty as the head of the facility... Goodbye Subject A068"
"P-please stop..."
She banged her hand on the glass sperating us, with tears forming in her eyes
"I-i wanted to thank you, even though the experiments hurt me greatly, i still enjoyed my time with you Professor. Thank you and goodbye... for... ever"
With no response i walked forward. At one point i walked past an empty containment that once housed subject A011, The one that started this mess two week ago. That Subject during regular testing presented us with a prophecy, a prophecy of the end. That time the subject A011 was executed on the spot, but their foreboding prophecy remained with us. I finały reached the end of the corridor, looking at a huge containment with a person of indescribable gender inside. They were attached to great amount of wires and machines
"Subject A003 you know why I'm here don't you?"
"Indeed sir Professor, you want to know the current location of the Shapeshifter, don't you?"
The subject quipped to me
"That is right, but refrain form naming the subjects"
"I sorry but that person came around the same time as me, and yet they course so much problems, much more than in the beginning..."
It was true, 3 years ago when I became the Professor and first subjects arived in these cold wasteland i met them. The Subject A106 at fist was filled with childlike curiosity it was still alclasified as code YELLOW and it indeed courses a lot of problems. It escaped a lot and was found in the weirdest places. We prepared a set of rules for that subject, after all it could change from a human to a chair to puddle of water to mythical manticore to a human again in span of seconds. Our plight started about a year ago, when subject A106 started to change into wierd shapes, and even intangible concepts. Subject kept telling us that it has to evolve further. At that time I made nothing of it... Then subject A003 broke me from my trance
"I know, A106 is 'outside' , you better hurry up so 'it' won't escape...

Hearing what i wanted, i quickly hurried to the command room. Running through the corridors i once knew so we'll, that were filled with chatting people now empty, all i heard were muffled screams of people hiding inside the safehouse. I kicked the door tho the command room, seeing the empty and resigned faces of my coworkers.
"P-professor, why are you here?!"
"We still need to locate Subject A106..."
"Please Professor escaped we will take ca-"
I cut them of with a shout
"Head my command, Subject A106, escaped outside, so in accordance to our government agreement... we will commence emergency protocol E.X.I.T"
"B-but Professor, do you truly want to go through with it?!"
The question my authority, probably even my sanity but it our only option in order to prevent the worst...
"Profesor do you want to destroy all the reasearch, and what of the Subjects here, do you feel nothing about their demise?!"
"Silence you fool, those creatures can't see the light of day again, we need to protect humanity from the horrors here..."
The all feel silent, not knowing what to do next
"Now, i command you to escape to safehouse while i fire of the protocol."
"B-but Professor"
"Silence! It's my responsibility as the head of this facility"
Seeing my determination the all silently wnet running towards the safehouse... After few minutes i pushed the protocol button, took on warm and heavy coat, open the door and go out into the frozen wilderness. Alerts kept balling in the background as freezing winds hit my face...
"A106 , Look at me!"
I shouted, and then i saw it... Subject A106 did not look human anymore, i even doubted it was ever human to begin with... Formless, Shapeless... Not even a word monster could describe it
"Attention, commencing protocol E.X.I.T"
The sirens blared in the back ground as a kneels looking a the creature before me, while listening to it's echoy screams
"A-a-a, it's all over now, you are completed but i will not let you leave..."
Those were my last words...
"Protocol E.X.I.T starting in 3... 2... 1"
.... .... .... And everything went white....
|Hope i didn't disappoint|

Well written. I was expecting the professor to be the shape shifter sentencing everyone inside to death while he made his escape.
