Freischutz - Sujet 689


Un bâilleur s'est échappé de la jeune femme, totalement inconsciente de toute la commotion qui l'entourait. Ce n'est qu'à la fin qu'elle étendit les bras et ouvrit les yeux qu'elle vit enfin tout le personnel respirer un soupir de soulagement. Tilting sa tête, la femme aux cheveux argentés a été aidé de sa nacelle par le personnel de la Maiden d'Iron pendant qu'elle traitait la situation. Avant même qu'elle n'ait eu la pleine chance de saisir la situation, une femme portant une tenue différente de celle des autres accompagnateurs est arrivée, se présentant comme le Dr. Yukishima avant d'expliquer qui, quoi, quand, où et même un peu du pourquoi de toute la situation. Heureusement, la femme avait réussi à obtenir ses repères tout au long du dépôt d'information, mais les yeux vigilants de tout le monde dans l'établissement étaient un peu préoccupants. Sensant cela, le Dr Yukishima a agité les autres chercheurs, car il avait déjà été confirmé que le sujet 689 avait toutes ses facultés mentales, ne serait-ce que parce que rien ne semblait particulièrement loin d'elle. Ou, du moins, rien qui ne ressortait trop du reste des sujets réveillés. Eh bien, peut-être deux choses.
D'un intérêt particulier pour Freischutz, un nom qui a été l'une des premières choses à inonder dans son cerveau au réveil, était le fait qu'il y avait d'autres comme elle dans l'établissement. Huit d'entre eux, pour être précis. Apparemment, le reste d'entre eux s'était réveillé plus tôt ce jour-là et avait déjà reçu une visite de leur aîné, que le Dr Yukishima appelait "Hercule". Comme le docteur ne voulait pas trop travailler Hercules, elle a décidé qu'il ne serait pas trop difficile de donner Freischutz une visite elle-même avant de l'amener à la fermeture. En chemin, le Dr Yukishima a fait mention du fait que l'éveil tardif du sujet-689 est peut-être dû à des choix de conception intéressants, un commentaire qui a été accompagné par la femme regardant la poitrine de Freischutz. Bien sûr, cela n'a fait que stimuler la curiosité de la nouvelle-née et l'a amenée à se sentir devant le médecin, conduisant à son premier petit, mais suffisamment prohibitif choc électrique de sa vie nouvellement-donnée. Si rien d'autre, il a donné à Frei un peu plus de perspective sur la nature du collier autour de son cou. Et un peu d'appréciation pour la combinaison qui s'est accrochée à sa forme façonnée.
Avec le reste de la tournée hors du chemin, le Dr Yukishima a amené Frei à Lockdown, donnant une rapide réduction des activités potentielles, ainsi que les arrangements de sommeil que les sujets auraient. Avec cela, le médecin a nettoyé sa gorge et a commencé à prendre son congé, peut-être un peu plus rapidement que nécessaire. La femme calme semblait s'énerver un peu quand Freischutz se taquinait, alors peut-être qu'elle se sentait encore un peu maladroite à ce sujet? « Plus tard, Doc! » Frei a appelé après elle, n'a rencontré que le silence alors que le médecin s'éloignait de la vue. Frogging, Freischutz a décidé de visiter les salles d'activité avant de prendre une réclamation à un dortoir. Par hasard, Frei a choisi l'étude comme premier endroit à explorer, seulement pour voir qu'il y avait déjà quatre autres personnes dans la pièce. Devant elle se trouvait une petite fille aux cheveux bruns, qui avait l'air d'être entrée dans la pièce peu de temps avant que Frei elle-même n'arrive. En scannant les autres, Frei a remarqué un jeune gars (bien, tout le monde ici était techniquement jeune) avec des cheveux blancs, et un autre caché derrière une pile de livres dans le coin. Enfin, cependant, elle a noté le demi-nu, grincheux... homme(?) dans le groupe, sa forme plus tordue que les autres dans la pièce. Peu importe à quel point il avait l'air bizarre, cependant, il était encore l'un d'entre eux. "C'est quoi, ça? Ce type a l'air plutôt cinglé! Je me demande ce qu'il a à faire." Elle a pensé qu'elle finirait par se rendre compte de la position qu'elle occupait.
Oh! C'est pas vrai! Une rencontre avec les autres si tôt? Génial. Aussi sans beaucoup de réflexion, Frei a frappé une pose. Une main sur la hanche, et l'autre main formant un V. Sujet 689, Freischutz, se rapportant pour l'amitié!, elle a chié, clin d'œil alors qu'elle ouvrait et fermait le v-sign comme une paire de ciseaux. Si on ne savait pas mieux, ils penseraient qu'elle essayait d'être une sorte d'idole pop. Excitée par la perspective du fait qu'elle rencontrait d'autres de son genre, les yeux de la femme vermillion étincellent pratiquement alors qu'elle attendait la réponse du groupe.
Appearance:(Might change)
Codename:Subject Ψ
Age:7 Years/~1 Second
Gender:Male
Height:193
Weight:59
Personality:As cliched and boring as it sounds, Ψ actually is not a human - inside of an only slightly elongated skull, beneath the pale visage, in the depths of smiling green eyes hides something completely alien to the human mind. No version of Ψ was ever exposed to any sort of society or really meaningful social interactions before reaching it's analogue of puberty, yet it always developed a complete semblance of sentience and conscious thought mere months after coming to life in a highly expensive test tube, all on its own, and it quite unnerved the personnel - an even greater mystery is how exactly did it manage to learn English. Ψ is by no means malevolent or evil - not any more so than any run-of-the-mill high-functioning sociopath who does not feel any sort of obligation to follow the widely accepted norms and does it only out of convenience and to ensure his own safety. Ψ's main motivation at the moment is to make it so that his prolonged existence can't be stopped by anyone except himself - as such, escaping the facility is paramount, though between the attempts he attempts to remain on the best possible terms with his creators and researchers, being friendly to the best of his abilities, and cooperating with the personnel.
Power/Weakness: Explosive Teleportation, Increased Durability, Super-Sight.
Explosive Teleportation - Ψ's body and brain generate a fantastic field of quantum instability that allows him to essentially be in many points of space at once due to a specific sort of probability manipulation - at least that is how the ability is currently explained by the kind people that keep him in here. Whenever he makes a conscious or unconscious effort of will, the field agitates the fabric of time-space and then, after a brief, momentarily build-up, Ψ just ceases to exist in a flickering spatial vortex and immediately appears in the another place of his choosing - or, rather, theoretically, he ceases to exist in one universe and suddenly appears in another, where everything except his position in space is exactly the same. The only cue to the teleportation taking effect being a loud thunderclap produced by air that is quickly filling up the space that Ψ's body has left behind.
What makes this already potent power a truly horrible force, however, is the fact that matter and objects at the destination point of the teleportation do not just change places with Ψ or somehow cease to exist. Instead they are extremely violently displaced in the direction and vector of his choosing - for example, if he teleports into a wall or even a free space that is filled with nothing but air, the volume of rock, air or metal equal to the volume of his body is very quickly pushed away from its previous position to make place for Ψ, and he can effectively control the shape and direction in which all this material will be shot out. It is possible to concentrate all of the displaced material into a very thin 'ray' that will be utterly terrifying in it's penetrating power or force it to be expelled in an explosion all around him, take the shape of a cone or wide line.
Increased Durability - Ψ's flesh is incredibly dense, his blood pressure is very high - though his wounds close quickly, not allowing for lots of blood loss - and his system excels a normal human's one in general resilience. While it does not really provide any sort of long-term endurance or stamina, it is enough to compensate for sudden and often drastic pressure changes that come after his teleportations, cold that he suffers without clothing and sometimes compensate adequately for the hydraulic impact produced by a bullet hitting soft non-vital issues - and yes, they did shoot him in the gut with a 9mm to check.
Super-Sight - Ψ possesses better-than-perfect eyesight and sense of perspective, able to view minute details at quite long distances, see in the dark and notice slightest changes in observed scenery. This is absolutely vital for the use of his power, which requires a big deal of precision and concentration to teleport over large distances or through any sort of semi-transparent obstacles, such as smoke or glass, seeing as they change the way things are perceived through them. Additionally, Ψ's reacts to seen threats much faster than an average person.
In theory, this ability alone could help to make him a great long-range marksman - that is if his hands didn't shake so much. And if he could be possibly trusted around a firearm. And knew how to use one.
Luckily, the power is not utterly undeniable and has it's weaknesses and limitations:
1) Due to an unknown reason, Ψ is unable to teleport into, and therefore displace matter of living animals and humans - plants, fungi, and cadavers are within his reach, but any sort of even remotely large living vertebrates are not.
2) Similarily, Ψ can not teleport into, or displace large amounts of especially dense materials. His upper limit seems to stand somewhere at 11,3 kg/m3, which means that an opaque sheet of lead is sufficient to prevent him from teleporting behind it. For now.
3) Teleportation at large distances that still lie within Ψ's line of sight requires arduous concentration, effort of will and time for the quantum instability field to extend towards the needed point - this implementation of his power also produces some tell-tale signs, such as Ψ beginning to briefly wink in and out of existence whilst being accompanied by his signature thunderclaps and produce multiple transient, phantom, non-manifested copies of himself all over the place. This limitation is why he is still allowed to have the privilege of looking through windows while remaining under observation.
4) Every spatial jump brings after it a brief cooldown period during which Ψ's body is once again tethered to his new position in space - it lasts for a time of 1 to 3 to sometimes 5 seconds or more in the case of long-range teleportation. Ψ can force himself to make another jump or even a series of teleportations in quick succession, but such a strain on his abilities invariably results in his body losing cohesion with itself and produces immediate side effects amongst which are vomiting, intense bleeding from various orifices, sudden drops and increases in blood pressure, short-term memory loss or loss of conscience, hallucinations or emergence of mental instabilities. As of now, the limit of successive jumps to which any version of Ψ was ever pushed is 11, followed by a month of recuperation from bloody flux and three simultaneous brain aneurysms. The reason behind these grisly effects seems to be that during quick successive teleportations Ψ's body doesn't have enough time to stabilize in the alpha universe and thus with every new jump the position of his body is a little bit off - his own cells displace slightly into each other with very negative consequences.
5) Ψ can only teleport himself. He can not bring someone along or carry something with him when he jumps - in fact, he can't even keep his clothing on, which is why he largely doesn't even bother to wear any. A request to give him a tattoo - strictly for scientific purposes, Junior Researcher ████ says - is currently under consideration.
