Background: CASE FILE: Project 657. Objective: To infuse the normal, everyday human being with abilities not usually found in the normal, everyday human. In Khazan, the chances of a person gaining special abilities goes up remarkably, though the chance is still rather low. With this project, we intend to raise the chances drastically by making the super-powers you find in comic books available to the general public on a commercial basis. We do NOT want to give the local government, and perhaps organizations like DollarCorp, the SLJ, and others with a cheap means of obtaining super-soldiers. We will handle all negotiations, and sell our product privately, despite public advertisement. More details can be found in any file under #657, as well as #185-0042 (DNA Samples from Resident Superheroes and Supervillains). CASE FILE: Subject 657-45C-01. Name: Patrick Dunaway. Mr. Dunaway appears to be a typical Phys Ed. teacher. Low-paying job, resulting in emotional problems and slight depression usually associated with a large family and said low-paying job. Since the fifth version of Mix 37 (our try at telekinesis) resulted in a marked regression of adult mentality and eventual death from what we call ‘lazy brain syndrome’ (one of the saddest brain deficiencies we’ve ever encountered; victim dies very gradually as brain functions slow until life can no longer be supported), we instead decided to give him our newest attempt at Mix 45, which is supposed to increase mental speed, reflex time, synapse-filtering rate, and other such qualities. Standard anesthetic was administered, and he was brought in for treatment. It was a success. At least that’s what we assumed, because when we checked on him in Recovery Sector 18, he was gone. Just missing. We assume Mix 45C worked in more ways than expected, as he appears to have run straight through one of the guards. Left an awful mess, that did. What’s worse is that he was never tagged, in case something like this happened. Not only have we lost a perfectly competent guard, but we’ve lost a test subject. Efforts are currently underway to track down Dunaway, sedate him, and bring him back for examination...

Can’t Stop

CASE FILE: 657-45C-01-11 (Transcript of Interview between Dr. Bernard T. Scaling and Khazan Police Department Sgt. Del Corzucan, Precinct 21). S: ‘Good morning, Sgt. Corzucan. I am Dr. B.T. Scaling, and I will be conducting today’s interview.’ C: ‘Mornin’, sir.’ S: ‘Would you like something to drink before we begin? Coffee, water?’ [three-second interval] C: ‘Nah.’ S: ‘Good, then shall we begin?’ C: ‘Fine.’ S: ‘Alright. I’ll start by asking where you were when you saw this car accident.’ C: ‘The Grand Ole Coffee Shop, right near the corner of Florence Drive and Redding Drive.’ [let records show that this is Florence Drive of Uptown, not Florence Boulevard of the Industrial Sector] S: ‘And this is where you allegedly saw Mr. Dunaway cause the aforementioned car accident?’ C: ‘Yeah, he matched up with the photo shown to me.’ S: ‘Tell me how that happened.’ [seven-second interval] C: ‘I was walking out of the coffee shop with my partner, when this guy just popped up in the middle of the intersection. Bam. He was just [three-second interval] there, you know? It was like he had teleported there, but I knew he had moved there ‘cause I remember seeing a motion blur come from down Redding Drive. It was like the ones you usually see with speedsters that tear up the roads. He stayed in that spot for two seconds. One second he stopped on a dime, the other second he screamed, and then he just tore off again.’ S: ‘And what caused the accident?’ C: ‘He popped up in the middle of a green light, when some drivers were going through just below the speed limit. And he stopped right in the middle of one of the lanes. One of the drivers tried to avoid him, and he fishtailed right into the traffic waiting for the red light to switch to green.’ [four-second interval] S: ‘And was there anything remarkable about this accident?’ [two-second interval] C: ‘Yeah. One of the cars had a footprint smashed into the hood, and another into the top.’ [three-second interval] ‘ He had to’ve been thinking pretty fast to get over that car without falling off or tripping.’ [end transcript; Sgt. Corzucan continues the interview with details on how he and his partner (Officer Felicia Dumont) pulled the survivors of the crashes out of their vehicles before one of the vehicles exploded due to a gas leak; injuries caused by the explosion included second-degree burns to both Officer Dumont and Sgt. Corzucan; no casualties were reported]

CASE FILE: 657-45C-01-06 (Escape of Test Subject 01; Patrick Dunaway). Speed is a dangerous force. Simon Garrens learned this the hard way; he was the one guard killed by Dunaway. He died of many, many complications, as his torso was ventrally split in half and ripped away from his head and arms. He was effectively torn into five large pieces, and many, many smaller ones. Whether it had been done incidentally or not, it was a quick and destructive death that Simon most likely never saw coming, as the autopsy of his lower torso indicated his spine had been crushed inward, with some vertebrae split vertically. With Mix 45, we merely intended to increase mental speed. There was some speculation that it might actually increase physical speed along with the pre-mentioned intentions. Naturally, we had thought of this in bloody ADVANCE, meaning we had the incentive to give him slightly more durable shoes. (And, as Fate dictates, the shoes that were supposed to be placed in his room were replaced with shoes we had received by accident, which in turn were supposed to be handed out to the staff as to avoid ever needing to buy shoes again) These shoes replaced the ones he had, and were placed in his recovery room along with the rest of his clothes. It’s suspected that he had a chance to put on all of his clothes before his escape, as the alarm that alerted of his awakening rang some two minutes before Garrens was said to have ‘exploded’. His head and left arm were just recently extricated from the walls of Recovery Sector 18. Dunaway had to’ve been running terribly fast to imbed flying body parts into a concrete wall...


Hurts Too Much to Stop

CASE FILE: 657-45C-01-06 (Escape of Test Subject 01; Patrick Dunaway, cont’d) The Recovery Area is literally a labyrinth. It was constructed with the purpose of making people who hadn’t memorized the layout get lost, specifically, escaping test subjects. It’s got twists, it’s got turns, it’s got all the elements of a maze, with several recovery rooms in between. How Dunaway managed to escape at the speeds we think he was running is beyond me, as it is with several of my colleagues. The footprints that he left scorched in the floors shows that he was going at damn fast speeds, and how he accommodated for the many corridors of Recovery Sector 18 without splattering himself on a wall we don’t know. We guess that Mix 45C actually worked like we wanted it too, and accelerated his reflex time and mental speed by some very large exponent. Truthfully, it isn’t a real surprise. With Mix 45B, test subjects did indeed gain accelerated reaction times. When tested in environments such as a low-grav chamber, desert areas, and swamped regions, test subjects 657-45B-02 through 657-45B-08 were able to deduce ways to run at normal speeds without tripping up. It’s just that Mix 45B provided us with worthlessly temporary results. With Dunaway, we expect very much the same results as provided from the terrain tests performed on nearly all the 45B subjects. We doubt there won’t be a terrain he won’t be able to navigate when he’s got reflexes as fast as those we assume he has now.
