After that victory over the chimera, the girl stared at the camera with a flame in her eyes. Soon, a different voice she recognized spoke through the intercoms. It was a female voice with a rather enthusiastic tone.

— We congratulate you. You have successfully passed this test. We are very proud!

Our disaster victim looked more fervently at the camera, while Professor Heren's voice was still ringing.

— Well, in a few minutes you will be undergoing some routine tests such as blood tests, brain scans, genetic scans, etc. Please show your full cooperation! — The voice announced.

And then, the following moments, the door by which the girl had arrived, was opened. From there, she saw several men dressed in black machine armor arriving.

— This is the team that will be in charge of escorting you. Don't try anything you might regret. The voice said in a stern tone.

The Altered slightly clenched her fist, the space of a second an idea crossed her mind. She thought maybe with the energy in her body she could beat those guys. Remembering the feeling, she thought about once again using the energy to fight. However, she knew to herself that she had no chance, none yet.

So she said to herself, "I will cooperate with them, with the scientists, but... But when the opportunity arises, I will stab them in the back without hesitation."

It was his plan. The girl had decided to be docile, to be a perfect little dog. However in the shadows, she will sharpen her fangs and claws. He had given her the power, and they would very soon regret it.

After being handcuffed, the girl obediently followed the guards escorting her. They all walked through white hallways for several minutes before coming to an enormous jet black reinforced door. After going through many complex and diverse security protocols, they finally arrived.

Once led into the room, the armored guards retreated. The girl who had been left there looked around. The room appeared visibly to be only about five square meters. The strangest thing was that the room was empty, totally white from floor to ceiling with little or no difference. What had been a door was no longer a door the moment after it was closed, making the white room immaculately uniform, allowing the perception of space with some difficulty.

All this made the girl slightly uncomfortable. She didn't know what she had to do and so decided to walk to the opposite side from where she had come. As she walked for about five minutes, the girl realized that something was wrong, the distances she had walked didn't match her perception of space.

She stopped for a moment, wanted to retrace her steps, but suddenly looking back, she saw a black door. She didn't even have time to ask herself the questions of how was this possible, when the door opened and she heard a sound coming from her neck. The sound came from the strange necklace she had around her neck.

And the next moment she lost consciousness.

When the girl woke up, her mind was groggy, hazy, she didn't know what had happened. But this was not the first time this had happened.

She looked around and noticed a tiled room filled with all sorts of devices, several of which were connected to her by syringes. She was in the exam room. She saw many people in white coats around her.

They were checking holographic screens, some of these people asked her all kinds of things like: how was she, how did she feel, how did she perceive her ability or what they called her Alteration, how did she activate her? her, etc. And all this the girl answered.

The Corrupted then spent an entire month in the testing labs undergoing all sorts of scrutiny. She was very cooperative, the perfect little dog. She helped as much as she could with the research, giving of herself and best describing any changes she could feel.

Thus, the research took a huge leap forward. Although the girl hated these scientists, she had to restrain herself, be patient and wait for the right moment to strike.

After all these experiments, the scientists had been able to draw up a balance sheet of his Alteration, they had even given him a name and it was the Esper Alteration - code 001: .

The summary of observations was as follows.

[Observation Log Entry No. 12083120

Altered - Code 001 | Esper Alteration:

In charge of the project: professors Unity, Craeven, Heren, Robert, Onda, Kars, Xavier.

Observation results:

According to our research teams, the ability created through the Esper ability-type genetic alteration - Alteration of the Altered seems to be a whole new breed compared to the Esper abilities observed so far.

First, the Esper factor although different from one Esper to another by certain genes but especially by certain alleles, remains all the same very similar in its general structure. But the Esper factor of the Altered goes against what has just been mentioned. Indeed, his Esper factor affected more genes and alleles and then even created new ones, some never yet observed. It is objectively speaking a miracle.

Thus, it was decided to name this new Esper factor born thanks to the Alteration — the Altered factor.

Secondly, it was observed in the subject, a rather gradual and slow evolution of the genome. The most affected part of this phenomenon was that of the Altered factor. The cause of such a phenomenon has not yet been found, however we are able to affirm that this Esper-type genetic alteration will revolutionize the world.

And third, we were able to record how the Condense alteration works. The Esper ability is subdivided into several working states.

First, there was the initial phase where phase 0 - phase where the Altered seems to be able to store an energy of unknown origin. This phase has a variable duration. Also the individual seems so far, to have no limit to the quantities of energy X that it can store.

However, during phase 0, the subject will no longer be able to move the part of his body where the energy is accumulated. It may happen that there is a partial or complete paralysis.

Then comes phase 1, the functioning phase, it is characterized by the end of the initial phase, when the Altered has stored enough energy.

Thus, she is then able to project waves of energy, control objects from a distance, create sorts of force fields — in short, as if she possessed a telekinetic-like ability.

But what contradicts this is the fact that we have observed that the X energy seems to be able to stimulate cells to an extraordinary level, which makes cell proliferation or cell replication occur at impressive speeds. Which comes very close, if not even exceeds the Esper ability at two or three stars according to conventional ranking.

Finally comes phase 2, phase where the altered loses this energy X and must return to phase 0. However, it seems that the cells of the individual keep a small trace of the energy X between each cycle, this one does not cannot be used by code 001 in phase 1.

In short, the alteration opens up new fields of possibilities with the X energy.

Thus, we advocate that cells affected by the X energy of the Altered be put into the Solution to create future Esper-type genetic alterations.
