[ Conversation 008 was a test between Subject 16 meeting a previous Subject that now works with the Agency. It was an attempt to trigger a reaction. This is a partial transcript, as the Test Ended with an emotional outburst - causing loss of equipment and damage to surrounding facilities. ]
Subject 16: [Pacing around his cell, quietly muttering to himself. Upon repeat listens, it seems to be begging to go home.]
Specialist: Don't waste your time. Killers like us do not have a home to return to. Your home is here.
[ At this moment, Subject 16 stops muttering - turning to our Agent and just staring at her intently. ]
Specialist: They seem to think we're a lot alike. After reading the reports on what happened, I believe we are. 23 dead, 12 injuried. Or, rather - 35 dead. Outdated report, paperwork has never been a strong suit of The Agency. They all died of their injuries.
[ Subject 16 offers no response, walking towards the table set up in the room for this conversation. ]
Specialist: 35 dead. You killed them, 16-
S16: I'm not a killer. I didn't kill a single person, and this guilt trip your laying on isn't going to work. Even if I did kill them, you all deserve it.
Specialist: Oh please. So dramatic, don't waste my time. You'll find out what happens when you do. I'm not scared of you, 16.
S16: You should be.
[ As Subject 16 finishes his sentence, the table rises in the air and alarms begin to ring. Before a team can get inside to extract The Specialist, she strikes him in the throat - causing him to choke and fall to his knees. She then raises her hand, signalling to stop any extraction protocol. ]
S16: [Coughing] H-how did you move-
Specialist: Do that again, and I'll kill you. I'm fully aware you cannot use your barriers and strike at the same time. It'll take me a second to get behind you, another to grasp your head and a final second to snap your neck.
[ Subject 16 holds his neck, standing back up to stare at the Specialist. This is the first recorded instance of Subject 16 being frightened of someone, as he remains calm and his powers come to a halt. ]
S16: I am not a killer.
Specialist: Say that again, and I break your arm. We're the same person, you're clinging to this stupid notion that you aren't something you're not. [At this moment, The Specialist slams some photos on the table. All are grusome pictures of the stated 35 Secuirty Guards that Subject 16 had murdered in a previous escape attempt.] 35 dead. 6 had family members. You killed them. No shame in such an act.
[ At this moment, Subject 16 covers their eyes - shaking their head and walking away wordlessly. ]
S16: I didn't do that. It wasn't me.
Specialist: Yes it was. I witnessed it. A white lie, but 34 people died. There was a single survivor 16. Do you know who it was?
S16: No-
Specialist: It was me. But lets be honest, you're not really the same after dying. It's why I know you're lying. You killed me. And now I'm back -
[ As the Agent talks, the pressure of the room increases. Subject 16 steps away, shaking their head before clenching his hands. The Agent however, hasn't stopped talking. ]
Specialist: - To kill you. If you step out of line, if you even try and escape while I am around. I will kill you. Now this is much to handle, so this little outburst you're going to have is your first strike. Remember what I said, I'm here because of you.
[ As the Agent finished talking, the containment room crushes in on itself - destroying the room and recording equipment. As it does, Subject 16 and The Agent reappear in another containment room. Subject 16 has been knocked out, recieving a black eye from the Agent. She leaves shortly after, simply reappearing in the debrief room. Since their conversation, Subject 16 was a lot more docile - barely using their powers while The Specialist was in the facility. Days leading to the Mojave Facility being destroyed, The Specialist was not in the facility. It is unknown how Subject 16 knew she wasn't there. Revisions on containment chambers have been suggested. ]
