Dr Carter : Hello, Mark. May I call you Mark ?

A moment of silence.

S-576 : The researchers don't usually do that.

Dr Carter : Right, right. They're bound by protocol. As an overseer, I can... bend it a little.

S-576 : Bend... the protocol. Don't you lot have rules for a reason ? Don't get attached to your test subjects, don't treat them as kids, something like that.

Dr Carter : You're an adult.

S-576 : Oh, did Anomalies gain the right to be considered people while I was busy being tortured by scientists ? Because if there's anything I remember from my short stay with Security when I was a kid, it's that I would never be a person. Ever. Not a kid, not some guy, not a human.

Sound of pen on paper.

Dr Carter : All right. 576 it is ?

S-576 : At least you won't have to pretend to be my friend.

Chuckling, presumably from Dr Carter.

Dr Carter : Of course. Now, why don't you tell me a little about your stay in Dr Beaulieu's custody ?

S-576 : ...Don't you have my file ?

Dr Carter : Humor me.

S-576 : I just really don't see the point. What do you even want me to talk about ?

Insistent silence. Then, a sigh, likely from Subject 576.

S-576 : Okay... Um... I was sent there after I tried killing one of my classmates. I got experimented on like a mouse since then. Tried to break out last year. Uh... Don't, don't nod with that smile that's creepy as fuck.

Dr Carter : Trying to encourage you to keep talking is creepy ?

S-576 : Yes. It's not like I can say anything you don't already know.

Dr Carter : Maybe I want your point of view on the past six years.

S-576 : It was awful. There. Happy ?

Dr Carter : That's good enough for now. Let's see... Your file states that you've been allowed art supplies as a reward for good behavior. Do you confirm that the provided sketchbooks are then taken back by staff when you fill them entirely ?

S-576 : Yeah.

Dr Carter : You're never kept any of them ?

S-576 : No.

Sounds of shuffling as Dr Carter removes five entirely full sketchbooks from her bag.

Dr Carter : So these weren't hidden in various places around your prior room and only found after your transfer here ?

S-576 : Haven't seen them in my life.

Dr Carter : So these symbols don't mean anything to you ?

S-576 : No.

Dr Carter : Okay, thank you. Anything you'd like to ask regarding your future here ?

S-576 : What ?

Dr Carter : Insights, ideas, how you'll be treated ?

S-576 : No, I don't care, just leave me alone. I'll do your stupid tests if you leave me alone, I did it for the other guys.

Dr Carter : All right. I'll let you go then.
