OOC- Sorry.... Was out for the holiday -- did not realize this was waiting on me!.
Alison was slightly surprised to have the group's attention directed her way. Figuring that most of this data was already in Jacosta's banks, and that it would be presented as some sort of holographic dossier, or the like.
"Yes. Well. It was a stormy, stormy night... haha, just kidding! Actually, the weather was clear, almost pristine. But, my life had become pretty screwed up. Rescue came in the form of a confidential project that, supposedly, based upon my medical records, had determined I had some sort of 'optimum genome' that would be of high value in medical research to treat certain diseases. The pay they offered was enough that I didn't question things that I should have. Anyway, 'Sovereign Six' as it was called, turned to out to be a front for an obsessed biologist's ambition to bring out latent powers in certain people. Changing my mind wasn't an option, once I learned what it was....I was first imprisoned, and then sedated. Just as well, because I was spared the terror of knowing that this was a beta technology, with some bugs yet to be worked out." Alison's tone lost the humor, and she frowned as she remembered...
"The first four they used it on were horribly mutated by it --- and died in agony. But, they were making corrections each time it happened, and by the time they got to me, the process worked, and I got the powers I have now. It worked for the next candidate too - a good kid from a rough life I wanted to help -- but wasn't in any position to. Fortunately, his powers manifested as technopathy, by which he was able to free us at a choice moment. As most of the installation's guards were robotic, the odds were all of a sudden in our favor. We beat the bad guys is the short of it. We sabotaged their labs, and the biologist -- Dr. Strauss -- and some of his key people were apprehended and put away. But, they didn't get them all. And, I've little doubt that somewhere, Strauss had backups of his databases and systems. It would make no sense for him not to."
