The lights turn on methodically one by one, illuminating the startling whiteness of the hallways. That of which greatly resembled the hallways of hospitals save for the lack of waiting benches and posters building your paranoia into paying for an extra check up just to make sure you don't have some form of rare and deadly strain of flu. No, the hallway here were long and barren though the acrid smell of morphine and disinfect lingered strongly in the hallways.
The scent was so strong, it crept past the lead lined doors, seeping beneath the minuscule cracks,through the gaps on the bolts and the hollow bubbles of the soldered iron. Winding up the leg of the bed frame to greet it's waking inhabitant along with the slow drip of the IV.
The scientists were gathered in the observation deck, which really was better described as a gigantic sphere filled with a hundred cameras attached to a hundred of monitors, attached to hundreds of miniature sensors keeping track of temperature, humidity and air percentages. Those were currently being ignored in favor of the large television screens curved to fit the room, displaying what could be considered a momentous moment that would never be marked down in any history book.
The soft signaling beep drew everyone's attention to a screen where the first of many and the first of few was beginning to stir. Eyes trained on the waking individual, they watched with bated breath. Their vital signs said they were alive, but it was still a tremendous moment watching their creations they had slaved over so long finally come to fruition in those tense few moments. So far, they had only seen then on the operating table, lying motionless through all the cleanings and the changing of their IV bag. It felt surreal watching them shift and roll over, open their mouths and groan, their eyes opening for the first time in a long time without the help of another. Right on time.
Luka's eyes flickered to the other monitors where experiments still lay motionless, not due for an indefinite period of time. They were....unsettled. Either needing a longer incubation time or secondary experiments that still had to be..tweaked. His eyes lingered on them, before darting back to the waking experiments.

Luka's breath caught as his name flashed infront of him. He didn't know if he should be grateful or fearful that he had been selected to check on the newly waking test subjects. Lord knows why they couldn't afford to install some sort of speaker or monitor in the room to brief the awaking test subjects. He supposed it was important to test the experiment's reaction to another's sentient presence, as well as perform a check up physically on the subjects to see how well they responded to someone probing and poking about them so that they could figure how to carry out future physical and mental testing. It was important to see if the subjects could make any sense or communicate to them properly. The fact that they were still alive wasn't good enough, wouldn't be good at all if they still retained their previous detriments. Even more so if they had some sort of physical defect, the whole project might be scraped if even the slightest thing went wrong. They were alreay treading on thin ice with their high ups after the bite incident of 87, though it wasn't really their fault. He had never dreamed that they would renew funding after that disatorous little black mark.
Taking off his glasses, really he needed some good contacts, he ran a hand through his hair before turning to the door along with several colleagues of his; some old, most unknown. At the very least, he could try to assure himself that the protective suits they were going to be fitted would be enough to protect from whatever hazards they were going to face. He hadn't worked too much with any of the experiments beforehand, only a few specific patients, so he wasn't all too sure what exactly he was going to face. Oh it was all there on the charts, but those were only theories and speculations based on what data they had collected. It wasn't like him not to trust chemistry, but...the world's most trained physicist still couldn't come up with an explanation for why a duck's quack didn't echo! How could they be sure of anything at this point?!
He sighed as he was passed through decontamination, the sight of the thick hazmat suit greeting him. At least, he only had to visit and examine one subject unlike those who would have to balance their time to visit too. Lord, they were low on staff, too many students opting for psychology courses. The rubbery plastic didn't feel very reassuring and the long hallway leading down into the 'ward' felt more like a descent into the chamber of all of heck.

The water was cold, dark and choking, sucking him below the surface and blotting out the sun.
The water pushed down on him from all sides. The more he struggled the more disorentatied he got. Up down, left right, nothing made any sense anymore. He pushed with his arms and legs but he could find no levarage, for all he knew he was pushing himself further down. His lungs burned for more air and even though he knew he would get none his body still took a breath. Cold water rushed to fill his lungs and blood pounded behind his eyes. The darkness engulfed him and he had nothing left in him to fight anymore. He gave into the darkness and let the water take him.
He hit the floor with a hard thud, the IV needle yanked out of his arm. Opening his eyes, he expected the dark inky blackness of the water only to be blinded by a white hot intensity. Something burned in his nostrils. He turned, only to collide his forehead against a solid wall. Pain skyrocketing through his head, unlike anything he felt before and he had had his limbs torn out and his eye smashed against jagged rocks. His pain tolerance should have been much better than that. Rolling around in agony, he slowly calmed down and curled into a fetal position, slowly opening his left eye, the cold floor felt soothing. For a moment, he wondered if he was back in the dungeon, if he was back with the others, if Edge would visit him, but...it was far too bright to be the dungeon. Far too bright to be anywhere that he knew off.
Laying there, he waited for the darkness to overtake him again, belittle him for believing in yet another illusion, to take him back into the painful bindings of reality. He waited and waited...and waited before concluding that this was a prolonged illusion. It was unlike any hallucination he had experienced before, for one the coldness wasn't overwhelming and the light, however harsh, wasn't accompanied by the sharp flippant remarks from his own demented mind. Perhaps he had finally died. Hah! That was a good laugh. Death would be far too good for him. Where ever he was, that held true.....
