But those on the inside know all the peculiar happenings, and it’s quite horrific indeed.
The Institute has devoted it’s work to figuring out the supernatural happenings in the world, and one big part of their research is there Byers-Ellery Alternative Science Testing (B.E.A.S.T) program and their subjects. The "Beast" program runs cruel and remorseless tests on their numbered subjects, all of whom hold an odd and unnatural power. They are isolated, treated like pawns, all in order to be used by the government's beck and call. They are being trained to be weapons, and there's nothing the Institute and their Beast wouldn't do to achieve their goals.

They've found them. After 15 years, they've finally found the missing subjects.
On a cold winters night in the year 2001, three Lab Technicians who worked for the "Beast" Program felt something that would ruin them - remorse. Remorse for the toddlers who the Institute had taken in order to test their out of control powers. Four of them were siblings found in orphanages at two separate times (something they would never experience again) There were the two brothers No. 3 and No.4, then a brother and sister, No.5 and No.6. To have such young and fresh subjects when the Institutes first two subjects were young adults and declining into madness, it was a quite the blessing. Not even long after, No.1 gave birth to a young baby girl whom she'd had with who they figured was a worker in the Institute. The young baby girl had a power of her own, and they had kept her for their "Beast" program as well. But these three technicians claimed they hadn't signed up for such cruelty to children. It was different when the subjects were older like the first two, but when these kids were all under three; that's were they drew the line.
So, they came up with a plan.
They gathered up the children and tried to make a break for it, setting the labs on fire as a distraction. That fire ended up perishing some of the workers, equipment, research, and Subject No.1 as well. They managed to escape with the two pairs of siblings, but when they went to grab Subject No.1's daughter, her door had been blocked by a burning beam. They thought she was a goner, and felt that if they could at least get a couple of the kids out, then that was good enough. They ended up taking the children to a church and dropping them off, knowing that abandoned children would be either fostered or adopted. The three technicians fled for about a year, during which time the Institute had begun building themselves back up, searching for the kids and the technicians who took them. They found the technicians first, and they were killed.
But now they've managed to track the two brothers down in the town of Florence, Oregon, and they've been watching, all the while not knowing that the other two siblings live in the town as well. Finally, after a year of waiting, they found their chance and took the youngest of the brothers. Their plan was to use him to also draw his elder brother out, thinking it a safer route then kidnapping him as well and causing further suspicion, but something put a dent in their plan. They weren't expecting No. 8 to take the chance to escape during their extraction.
No. 8, now on her own in an unknown world, runs into a boy with a power and a number 6 behind his ear, and knows exactly who he is. She must now enlist his help to get out No. 4 who has just been taken and to take down the institute and their "Beast." who is after them all.
