D-4443 So I just walk across right?
Dr.█████ Yes just be sure to keep your radio on at all times and don't stop until you get to the end.
D-4443 What happens when I get to the end?
Dr.█████ That's not important. No one has died during these tests before so all you need to do is follow orders.
D-4443 Okay, I'm going.
{Subject proceeds to walk at a normal but brisk pace across the bridge}
{10 minutes pass}
Dr.█████ How are we doing D-4443?
D-4443 Doing okay I guess. I can still see you guys but it's getting harder. It kind of seems like it's getting foggy the further I go. And the air is hard to breathe.
Dr.█████ That's normal. The weather here is very humid. Just keep going and stay on the radio. We're keeping watch the best we can from this distance.
{5 minutes pass}
D-4443 Hey Doc somethings not right.
Dr.█████ What do you mean D-4443?
D-4443 I mean it- it's weird I should be more than halfway at this point but I feel like I've stayed in the same place for a while.
Dr.█████ Are you still walking?
D-4443 Yeah but it's all wrong.
Dr.█████ What is?
D-4443 Wait I see something at the end. I need to get off this thing now.
Dr.█████ D-4443 calm down nothing is going to happen if you follow orders.
D-4443 It's okay I see some people now. I'll be fine.
Dr.█████ What are you doing? Why did you come back? You were told to walk the entire way across.
D-4443 No- I- I did. I never went back. I told you something was wrong.
{D-4443 looks around in confusion then at his tattooed hands in sudden horror}
D-4443 no…. NO! You said nothing would happen why is it all wrong!
Dr.█████ What's wrong D-4443? Nothing has changed. Nothing has happened to you.
D-4443 YOU'RE LYING! Everything is wrong! It's all backward. This isn't where I came from. Something turned me around. I'm not where I'm supposed to be. I have to go back!
Dr.█████ You're panicking D-4443. This happens, it's just paranoia. We'll take you back and get you some rest.
D-4443 NO I have to go back! You can't keep me here!
{D-4443 runs back across the bridge until assuming about the halfway point}
D-4443 {heavy breathing}
D-4443 What the fuck.
Dr.█████ D-4443 you need to calm down. Come back to us. This is getting out of hand.
D-4443 The FUCK someone is here. Walking towards me. They look familiar. I'm going to see who it is. Maybe they can help me.
Dr.█████ D-4443 You are NOT to engage with anything you see. Head straight back here NOW.
D-4443 …it can't be.
Dr.█████ D- are you still there?
D-4443 It's me. It's fucking me. Is this a joke? Why the fuck is there a mirror on this goddamn bridge? I need to go back!
{Scuffling is heard through the radio}
Dr.█████ What's going on?
D-4443 Oh god…
{more slamming noises are heard}
D-4443 Oh GOD please no… please…
Dr.█████ What do you see?
D-4443 It's not a mirror.
Dr.█████ What?
D-4443 It's not a fucking mirror. It's another me. Every time I hit it, it does it too. It won't FUCKING let me through. It keeps doing the same thing I am. I can't break through it. It's like he's mocking me. Fucking bastard is keeping me away!
{A loud crack is heard}
D-4443 {cries out in pain} FUCKING HELL
Dr.█████ What did you do???
D-4443 I punched it and it punched back. My hand… I think it's broken. But so is his. I can make it through him.
Dr.█████ You need to get back here now!
D-4443 What the hell do you think I'm doing?!
{The heavy sound of footsteps is heard through the radio}
Dr.█████ Ah D-4443 good you came back. We need to get you restrained immediately before you hurt yourself.
D-4443 Not today Doc.
{Subject then grabs one of the assistant's guns and with inhuman speed runs back towards the middle of the bridge}
Dr.█████ D-4443 We will detain you! You need to head back with us NOW before this gets anymore out of hand!
D-4443 That bastard is letting me through one way or another.
Dr.█████ What are you planning to do D-4443?
D-4443 Go back home.
{A single gunshot is heard in the distance}
Dr.█████ D-4443? Are you alright? What happened down there?
{Static from D-4443 radio}
