Introduction
Ball's Pyramid is an erosional remnant of a shield volcano and caldera that formed about 7 million years ago. It lies 20 kilometres southeast of Lord Howe Island in the Pacific Ocean. It is 562 metres high, while measuring only 1,100 metres in length and 300 metres across. Within the mountain, shielded from the weather and from the sea, is a facility. But not just any facility, this facility is so secret that not even the president of the United States of America knows about it. It is so well hidden within the rock formation that the entrance can only be found by whose who know exactly where it is. People who arrive here, never leave again. They live out there lives, no matter who they are. There are no escape roads, unless you want to jump into the rocks in the sea beneath.
The facility was build within the mountain in 1998, after it became known that a kid who had died, suddenly came alive after several weeks in the ground. The kid was tracked down and taken to the facility where it was tested on, trying to find out how they became alive again. He passed away after two years at the facility and everyone was not allowed to say a word. Then, more people awoke and were tracked down and taken to the facility. They were never seen again. The facility becomes your home, no matter how long you'll live. Scientists who sign a contract to the facility are declared dead to the outside world. No one knows about this facility, and they like to keep it that way.
The facility is used to test on those who became alive again, after a period of being dead. They've been given powers of some sort, but are strongly controlled. There are tight schedules everyone follows. If you step out of line, you're locked into isolation, alone to live out the rest of your life.
Room rules:
1. Keep them clean at all times. Subjects with dirty rooms will be punished accordingly.
2. Don't hide anything. You are allowed to take in something like pens and paper to do something in your room but you're expected to return those items after you've done.
3. Subjects each have their own bed. They should be made every morning.
4. Rooms are searched every day and subjects can be punished accordingly for finds.
5. Keep your rooms clean and don't break the rules will award you according to your wishes.
6. The rooms are your sleeping quarters. You're expected to be in your room after 10 pm and you're allowed to leave your room after 9 am. Leaving early or returning after the set time will earn you a punishment.
Rules:
1. Be nice, don't fight.
2. Only play the games that are there and only watch the unlocked channels.
3. Keep the room clean.
4. Do not write on anything other than paper.
5. Don't destroy the room.
6. you can decorate the room with permission of the guard on duty or scientist on duty.

The woman sat down beside him on a chair and eyed him for a moment. The 17-year-old started feeling uncomfortable around her presence. "You must eat, Subject 36540. Otherwise we'll have to force-feed you and I don't think you'll like that."
Another shiver ran down his spine. He shook his head, not looking at the woman, silently contemplating what to do. He broke off a bit from the toast, closed his eyes and put it in his mouth, chewing until he had to swallow it. "There, I ate," he softly spoke, hoping she'd leave him alone for now. But of course she wouldn't, he hadn't eaten enough.
"Eat some more. You're not getting enough food in you," she said, sounding demanding. Tyler finally lifted his head to look at the woman. She had red hair, quite a pale skin tone and grey eyes. She seemed around her thirties or so. He sighed, broke off another bit off the toast, put it in his mouth and chewed until he swallowed it. The woman sighed, frustrated by the fact that this subject didn't want to eat. "If you won't eat tonight, we'll force you to eat," she warned. She got up and left, leaving him alone, finally.
He shoved the plate away, pulled his knees up to his chest and wrapped his arms around it, then stared at the wall, seemingly dreaming, or something of that like. He closed his eyes, let out a sigh and hoped he could return to his cell once all other subjects were done. It seemed he would have no choice tonight but to eat. He felt hopeless, he wanted to get out of here, one way or another, but he was too afraid to even try anything. Tyler was stuck at this place for the rest of his life, until he died from some kind of experiment or old age, who knew. Though apparently, subjects never got very old, so perhaps he would be dead soon, gone from this torture.

It was highly unusual for a test subject to be taken for an experiment so early. But Max was unusual as well.
He walked down the hallway towards the elevator. He was unarmed and alone, just like he always was in a different phase. He was really phased at the moment, enough that things definently felt different. "Alright Max, what do you see?"
"Its still empty, if that is what you are asking" Max told the scientist. Occasionally, he thought he saw movement, a person or at least something living in these other phases. But he could not prove it, and the scientists never got any readings of that. Then again, they did not get any readings of him either. But still, they were skeptical that they were there. He never understood why.
Back in the regular plane, the phase that everyone else existed in, was where his body was. They had him in a machine to force his power to activate, and to try and get as much data and readings as possible from the sensors.
Max walked up to the elevator, when he noticed something weird on the ground. He picked it up, and it was a security keycard. It had never been here for any of the other times he was here. He slid it into the slot on the elevator, and the elevator door opened. A boy was standing in the elevator. "You should run. You need to get stronger".
"What the..." Max asked, before he heard a loud growl behind him. He turned around, and got a glimpse at some sort of beast. His heartrate shot up, and suddenly a gun appeared in his hand. He fired three rounds before suddenly waking up in his own experiment room back in the regular plane. His body was still shackled to the chair, but in the hand that was holding the gun still had it. A guard quickly took it from him.
"What happened?" the scientist asked as she took a swab from the hand the gun had.
"There was a creature. I didn't just see a glimpse of it, it charged right at me" Max told her. He noticed that whatever test she had done, seemed to be positive for something.
"How many bullets are in that gun?" she asked the guard.
"Still fully loaded. Why do you ask?"
"Hmmm, interesting" she mentioned, before turning to Max. "We detected a spike in certain sections of your brain before you claim to have seen something. Similar to when someone is hallucinating. Whatever you saw did not exist".
The scientists stopped bothering lying or keeping data from Max. He figured it out too easily, and he was pretty sure they were picking his brain sometimes. That said, this scientist was relatively new, and thought distracting him with one line of thought would keep him from another. It didn't work.
"So, I pulled an object into my hand while in there, pulled the trigger three times in there, fired no bullets out here, but still got GSR on my hand. Sounds like progress to me" Max said. Of course, he didn't tell them everything. Holding back was useful. After all, he had a good feeling as soon as they fully understood his ability they would kill him. His ability had a clear ability to give him a good chance to escape if he fully mastered it, which would be the only way he would be able to escape. If he fully mastered it. Eventually, a time would come where he did master it. Then, he would have minutes, or maybe even seconds, to start his escape before they killed him.
At the very least he would at least start planning ahead of time. In the mean time, he was escorted to breakfast.

"Increase the weight with 90% of the first cube!" A voice called. A vice, holding an enormous metal cube was slowly carrying it down, before putting it on a slightly larger cube, which was placed on Alyson's back and shoulders. The new weight caused her to grunt and bend down several inches. The girl sueezed her teeth and started trembling, while her shaking knees were slowly getting straight. Alyson was breathing slowly and heavily, as a drop of sweat fell from her eyebrow. In a few seconds she relaxed and got a bit used to the added weight.
"Thirty more kilos!" the voice from earlier called. Once again, the same vice started carrying a much smaller cube and placed it over the other two.
"Aaaghh!" Alyson let out another yell, as she squeezed both her teeth and her eyes. She started shaking more violently, as her knees bent even more than the last time. The girl started breathing faster and letting out moans in pain. The veins on her muscules were hightly visible.
"Enough! End of the experiment!" The voice ordered. A bigger vice went down and took all of the three metal cubes. Alyson's knees crumbled on the floor, as she let out an enormous sight from relief and exhaustion. She felt like the litres of her blood went straight into her head, as her brain felt weaker and her eyes could see numerous stars.
"Subject 93965, your healthy limit of weight carrying is 830 kg. Anything heavier than that might be fatal. Now, it's time for breakfast."
Two of the staff wrapped Alyson's arms around their shoulders, lifted her up and started walking her to the cafeteria. Her head was bent forwards, causing her long brown hair to cover her face.
By the time Alyson was sent to the cafetera, her brain gained slight stability. Despite that, her arms were still trembling once she tried to do anything with them. She tried grabbing her fork with both of her hands, but dropped it on the table. Soon after that her head was fine enough to perceieve reality normally. Like every morning, her eyes were mostly staring at the daily medicines. Alyson would always take them, no matter what.
"I'm too stupid to successfully fake medicine taking. I'm constantly under supervison, they'll know immediately. God knows what kind of chemestry we are all given, but being punished for disobeying would be worse than the side effects. Huh? I have one more pill than usual..." Alyson thought. Her arms were still trembling. She had trouble holding a fork properly, let alone holdiong several small pills. One of the staff took all the medicines and got them closer to her mouth. At that moment Alyson felt she was in a hybrid between prison and a kindergarten. She had nothing else to do but take the medicines from the hand. She was also given a glass of water.
What brought her attention was a boy refusing food. Why? They were given all kinds of medicines, and food is what he wanted to refuse? What if it had more ambigous medicines inside and that boy was the only one who found out? No, that wouldn't make much sense. It could be very well another pill. Maybe one of the side effects from his medicines or tests was appetite loss, or even worse.
"Well, right now I'm starving... and my arms and back are in less pain... Now I understand. The extra pill was probably a painkiller. However, they're still trembling... but why are we here? What will happen to us? All of the experiments are young people! There are even children! What should we do? I have no idea." Alyson thought, as her mind couldn't have a break. Eventually her arm pushed the glass which still had remaining water. It collided with the floor, as it was broken in small pieces, and water was splattered in a wide range.
"Oh my God... Oh my God, I'm sorry! I'm so sorry! I didn't mean to!" Alyson panicked and stood off the chair.
"Please don't hurt me! I'm begging you!" The 5'11'' tall 18-year-old woman clenched and broke down in tears like a little child. "I don't want to die!"

The fact that this was somehow legal disgusted him. He had not yet really used his new ability, afraid that changing might hurt or that he could never change back. He had no idea what his powers would be used for, but it terrified him to the bone. All he wanted was either to die or live his life safely away from this facility, but that would never happen. Tyler knew no one had escaped this facility yet and that it was close to impossible. Up until now, every try had resulted in complete lock down and the subjects that tried had been caught within minutes and were exterminated. To even try such escape would be foolish, a death sentence.
A voice in the distance disturbed him from his train of thoughts. "Subject 36540?" Called the voice as the boy tried to locate it. He finally looked towards the door where a woman in a white coat stood, the same that had tried to force him to eat. He shivered and grabbed his pillow. "What do you want? Why can't you just leave me alone for once?" He felt an outburst coming up, one he couldn't control even if he tried his best to do so. He felt tears stinging his eyes, trying to escape and he felt anger bubbling up from the inside. "Subject 36540, calm down. There is no need to get angry." That was the final straw for the boy as he got up, threw the pillow at her and ran towards her, as fast as his feet would take him.
"My name is not Subject 36540! My name is Tyler!" He formed his hand into a fist and swung it at her face, but she dodged and three guards jumped him, forcing him to fall to the ground. The guards grabbed his hands and feet as he struggled to get free, trying to get away. "Let me go!" But the guards were too strong as they cuffed his hands behind his back and his feet together. They pulled him up to face the woman, who didn't look angry or moved at all by his attempt to hurt her.
Tyler started to calm down, his breathing slowing down to normal, he started to realise that what he had just done would result in a punishment.
"Subject 36540. You know the rules, and thus you'll know this will result in an appropriate punishment. But first, we want to run a little experiment." The woman turned and started heading down the hallway where the rooms were, the guards following, dragging the young boy with them.

Glass shattering drew her attention, and as she looked at the sobbing girl, she turned back to the table. Not many people made big scenes around here, and while Kalo knew that none of the scientists were worthy of her trust, they wouldn't kill someone for breaking anything- unless it was important. Which, this was not. Her attention was redrawn when the scientist appeared with her food. She quickly ate the toast and eggs. Drawing odd shapes on the table with melted butter, she waited for the bell to ring. As soon as it did, many test subjects left.
Kalo watched a small boy escorted into the cafeteria. He seemed around 11. She had been about seven when she had died, and while a small boy seemed quite out of place here, most of the subjects were children. Quickly her interest dwindled, and she wandered out of the cafeteria. Returning to her cell, she requested a pen and paper. When they were brought, she started on a complex drawing of three faces. The girl who broke the cup, the young one, and the one who left.

"Alright, what did you take from him. You really think we do not know what you are up to?" he asked.
"I don't know what you mean. I took nothing" Max told them. You were the ones that were leading me. And what is that rule? DO what you are told? Don't deviate from what you are told? Or was it both of them. You told me to walk forward, so I walked forward. No one told me to move to the side" Max mentioned. One of his guards looked a bit flustered by his turn around, but the other just looked annoyed.
"You also just took something from the guard" he mentioned. "Give it up, or we will strip search you here and now".
"How about we don't do the latter, and prove I did not do the former" Max mentioned, before leaning out into the hall to Tyler's guards. "Hey, these guys think I took something from you. Check your pockets, are you missing anything?"
The guard checked, and replied with a no. Now both of them looked a little embarrassed, but since he did not actually do anything wrong, could not punish him for them being wrong.
He went into the cafeteria. For a moment, he thought he saw a shimmer in the air, but as no one else seemed to notice, decided to ignore it. As he was getting his food, another boy came up next to him.
"Did you do that just to embarrass them?" he asked.
"I don't know what you mean" Max said with a smile. "As much fun as it would be, pissing off the guards is not a good idea for a number of reasons".
"Fair enough, I can understand that. They did kill me".
Max looked back to where the boy was in shock, but he had just disappeared. Max processed what just happened. Had that been a subject here, who could turn invisible or something? Or was he really hallucinating?
He got an answer as he went to sit down, in a way. He felt something in his pocket. He reached his hand inside to take it out and see what it was, and it was three bullet casings. The same caliber as the gun that was telekineticly pulled into his hand and phased with him. The gun that had no spent rounds, but gave him GSR.
"Interesting" he mentioned, as he stuffed them back in his pocket.

"I'm very, very, very far from a strong independent woman. I better meet some friends here so we can at least support each other," Alyson thought.
Allie preferred to talk to a single person. The less people were staring at you once you approach them, the better it was for her. However, they were too busy with breakfast. She didn't want tointerrupt them, they might get mad at her. She would better eat too, and then meet someone.
After some time, the girl was ready.
"It is time... I should approach someone. I don't even care if they don't have much experience. If I find someone as fresh as me, both of us will learn together. Who should I talk to? Perhaps this girl over there. The one with the blond hair. She doesn't seem to have company around her."
Alyson was slowly walking towards Kalo, as her pulse was speeding up. What if she messed up? What if she was an annoying crybaby to the blonde?
"No. This mindset is taking me nowhere. I must continue. I must..." Alyson thought.
"H-hey..." she muttered to Kalo.
