Setting
The place is completely devoid of any life whatsoever...

This was at one point the HQ of LogicRoad but due to her being put in this position, it had gone into decay, but recent activity by her had activated an old experiment from before she had been forced into this prison, thankfully she had found certain drugs which kept her sister from resurfacing.
Nonetheless this place would need work, but it was ideal for her to begin the many phases of her plans, revenge for one, subterfuge another, and finally separate herself from Serenity.
The whole building was very modern, but dark and ominous looking, appearing to make a decision she walked up to the gate and typed in the past-code, '24601' hoping that the A.I still worked as well as it had.
Also she would need security since activating this experiment of Veronica had been a massive gambit, there were others that worried, how much had she left. Hell some may actually be dead.

Thats when emergency lights to secondary generators came up, lighting the way. Additionally, some doors seemed to power up to the generators. Finally, after a bit of time, an automated message played. "Alert. Primary Sensors Down. Proximity Sensors Down. Primary Power Down. Various systems are non responsive or not powered. Please activate secondary power source to restore power to the facility. All orders have been suspended until so".
Very few systems were still online. In fact, the turning on of these emergency systems took power. One stasis pod began to move out of a wall in a lab further away from Mystic and Serenity, prepping release functions so the pod could shut down and allow more power to other systems.

Reaching the banks, she typed up command to get the background information from previous five months:
First entry was written by her.
The subjects are currently training hard and improving. But destabilization is still an effect, Veronica is the only successful result.
Meanwhile the cure for vamperism is moving along excellently, I just have concerns with the current effects and what they pertain too. Then again I believe with right research this could be rectified, subject 0022-D5 was sadly a failure though and the testing on them appeared to cause some strange results.

They stopped believing they existed...

Professor Brighton has vanished since the Subjects escaped, Louie is talking about how the last subject to die was found near a crashed space-ship, as research was done they began to percieve themselves as not existing.
When found they had been vanishing, Professor Brighton warned us of messing with this, now she's gone. Maybe Louie wrong but New Canton has the right to know...
Right...

Everything is a lie, we are all illusions in the greater scheme of things. We are minuscule lies and should stop our lives, for we shall become nothing, not real, not dead. We are the true existence, the true meaning.
We are the nothingness, we are the nothingness

What on earth had taken place?
She still had so many questions, but her questions were interrupted by the door opening, shakily she swung and fired off a warning shot, at who or what, she did not care.

Meanwhile, the stasis pod had finally opened. The AI gave the terminal near Mystic access to the cameras, however the cameras themselves, and for that matter, the AI, seemed damaged. Whatever they had done before disappearing, they had damaged several systems. The AI was no logner to follow several commands, such as the lock down override. The Lock Down had been ordered about the same time they lost power, so the order was shelved in the memory till later.
James began to wake up, having collapsed on the floor after being released. He heard various noises. At the same time, the AI gave a eneral announcement. "All Stasis Chambers have been opened. All Experiments have been released due to emergency situation 03453A Cake. Alert, this unit appears to have taken damage. Please be aware this could lead to mechanical, electrical, and programming failure. Please be aware that several commands have been locked out, and several memory banks are damaged and/or missing. That is fall".
James looked around, seeing no other stasis pods in the room. He also felt like shit. He pulled himself against a wall. He looked over to the door. It was locked. For now. But he could hear movement outside. Thats when the AI also said "Alert. Proximity Sensors have been damaged after detecting unregistered organics. If these are experiments, please reframe them at once". James did not like the sound of that.

The AI then mentioned, again "Several Memory Drives Missing. Please replace". It then began playing all the Audio Log Versions of the logs recorded during the crisis, freaking James out kind of. James went to the door, and entered some sort of hallway. The door shut behind him. and then the lights turned off. The lights turned on 3 seconds later. the intercom also shut off. Then the AI said, to everyone, "Memory Drive A4 Missing. Memory Drive C1 Corrupted.". The intercom also turned on again, and James asked "Wait? I thought it just said A4 was corrupted? Did someone take it out? Who is there then, can someone shut this damn thing off?". the AI then replied "You are unauthorized. Giving information now. There are two completely sentient people in the facility. there is no one in the AI Core. Memory drive C-1 is corrupted. Please remove. Please Die." It then turned another automated turret on James, forcing him to take cover.

It had taken her at least half an hour to do this, she hoped to god it would work, that thing voicing off insane ramblings was the least she needed.

James found himself fighting security, and other experiments. While the Ai had said there were only two sane people here, the Ai was so damaged he took those words at little value. Especially since he found himself attacked by who knows what. The AI itself seemed to have disappeared, which is something he didn't mind too much, if it hadn't activated every security measure before shutting off.
When James finally got a moment to rest, he found himself checking a few wounds he got, only to find them healed. He also wasn't tired, and he seemed....different. He felt strange. Thats when the AI came back online.
The AI seemed to focus on Serenity. "Hello Serenity. You are in an unauthorized area. Please wait for someone to escort you to your sister, or to a non-classified area". It seemed to be capable of telling Serenity and Mystic apart now, which it couldn't before. However, it would only take a simple code to make it think Serenity was Mystic and vice versa. It then told them "I would like to report all memory drives have been reset. The last backup made was made by Mystic Jones. Please be aware this backup appears to be outdated. There is a log mentioning imputing data taht this backup does not have.
James, looking around, saw things seem to restore to normal. Thats when he heard the AI say "Please be aware. All subjects appeared to have escape. One is still fully sane and capable of reason. Additionally, proximity sensors are down, a good portion of security. I would recommend repairs immediately".
James, shouting into the intercom nearby, asked "Who is there! What is going on!"

Still had more important things to do, checking databank still, played the video feeds immediatly regretting this decision as horrific sights was shown to her. People just killing those who appeared scared while whispering, "We are lies, do you like being a liar, give unto nothingness, give into it."
In terror she stopped the feed breathing heavily, before turning on intercom, "I am in the data-banks... I don't care whom you are..."

Thats when James added "And where is everyone? Why isn't that registering as a question?". Thats when he reached the databanks, and opened the door. "So, I don't suppose you know what happened?" he asked Mystic, entering.

Not sure whether to trust him, she was keeping what she knew to very little by all appearance, after all she could not simply accept someone like this so blindly. It was ludicrous not to mention down-right insane to give this amount of information to another person, without first knowing their goals.

Thats when he looked at one screen, and asked "Why are all the exterior camera's down?" He clearly didn't know he was underground.

The vacume bot then said "Missing Navigation Data Drive". "Oh".
