[ Unknown Research Station ]
As the lights flickered on in his tiny cell Nikolai groaned in agony. It had been many month since he was allowed to see more then the barest fraction of light and his eyes were not accustomed to it. The tattered remains of what was once a Starfleet Marine uniform hung from his brutalized body as a horriable reminder of his fallen state.
From down the corridor of his prison block he could hear the sounds of screaming echoing through the building. Pleas for help and salvation that he knew would not come. He took a moment to reflect on his condition asking himself if he would do it all again if he had to. The answer was always yes. His questioning of his past was inturrupted by the sounds of footsteps approaching his cell.
Two men wareing white lab coats came from down the hallway talking shop with one another. "No I told you they were twins, I promise you that you wont be sorry if you come with me after work." said a tall skinny man in his early twenties. His black hair was close cropped to his scalp and carefully tucked under a surgeon's bonnet.
The second man a short stocky troll of a man nodded back to him."I'm just not into the dating sceen Mike, You know that." he said with a thick voice full of fat and bordom.
Nikolai couldn't believe that these feinds were talking like normal people. He knew first hand the sickening experiments that they were conducting on his friends only a few doors away. He raised up on his elbows and glared out coldly at the men.
The one adressed as Mike looked into the force field protected cell and smiled."Ah subject X21 is awake, wonderful. We've got a full day planned for you my lovely subject. Your of strong stock so I hope you last longer then X20. She was dissapoining." his voice was clinical and sarcastic to the marine.
"You bastards, You wont get away with this." Nikolai said in a deep slavic voice that resonated through the small cell. His knuckles turned white as he griped the edge of his hospital like bed and his eyes burned with fury.
The fat lad tech smirked at his display and said to his partner."Well it has alot more fire then the last one. Shall we begin?" his voice was just as sneering as the other. Both scientists carefully avoided calling the Marine anything but an it. He was nothing to them but a test subject.
Mike nodded and typed a command into the wall pannel opening a small slot in the wall. Reaching into his pouch labled hazardous he pulled a long silver tube. "As you know Subject X21 we have been working simulating Borg Nanite technolagy for sometime. After all the best weapon against a enemy is their own devices." he said to him calmly as if explaining to a child.
"Of course all our work up until this point has proven to be fruitless. However we have recently adapted a variation of the nanite parasites to our purposes. Of course we don't know if they are going to work properly and that my dear little subject is where you come in." he said as he placed the tub into the slot and sealed it.
Nikolai narrowed his eyes and moved away from the wall. He had no idea what was going to come through the vent into his cell but he assumed it wouldn't be pleasent.
His fears quickly came to fruition as the vent release the microscopic robots into the air. They were programed to seek any biological agents in their vecinity and the only viable canidate was Nikolai. He quickly grabbed his head as the small bug like devices begain to enter in through his mouth, nose and eyes.
He growled in pain as a thin trickle of blood begain to flow from each of his orifaces on his face. Normally Nanites were painless injections into paticents but these were weaponized and designed to penitrate a active unwilling host. Though the pain was excurcating, it was only the begaining.
The NeoDyne Scientist watched from his moniter as the small robots took up stratigic postions within the Marine's body and nodded." Phase one is a sucsess, Harold activate Phase Two if you would be so kind." he said to the fat man beside him.
The one now known as Harold inserted his PADD into the terminal and activated the first proceedure."Activateing forceable expulsion." he said to his friend Mike and glanced in on the Marine in the cell.
Inside Nikolai's body the tiny machines begain their first task. Clinically they invaded cells and removed Biological pathogens from a body. This time they were programed to activily attack the White Blood cells of a healthy host and expell them from the body in a painful torrent.
Nikolai fell back onto his bed crying out in pain as blood begain to sweat through every pour of his body. Normally you could not feel a sweat gland excudeing it's secretions but the Nanites were perched on the nerve endings.
He felt dizzy as his blood contenued to flow out of his body and the room started spinning for him. He could barely lift his hand has his precious life's liquid was stolen from him as in a horror movie.
Mike nodded to Harold and the Blood flow stopped."Phase two works like a charm, We can use these things to bleed a enemy like a pig. Activate Phase Three." he said pleased so far.
Harold nodded and accessed his pad once more. "Muscle sateration and atrophy test activateing." he replyed.
Still reeling from the loss of Blood Nikolai felt his entire body become heavy and his eyes buldged nearly a good two inches out of his head as his heart and lungs nearly stopped working. The Veins all along his body potruded through his skin
His body begain to secreat all of his waste fluids from his body as it seemed to his nervous system that he was dieing. A chokeing sound weakly crawled from his throat amist the bile from his stomach they was expelling itself.
"Intresting, the Subject is showing all the signs of being in a vacuum in space. Subject's veins are popping out of it's skin and it's eyes are buldgeing from it's skull. That is not the effect we were looking form but it might prove useful. Catalog and proceed to stage four." said Mike noting the strange effects.
Harold canceled the commands in the PADD and watched as Nikolai's body slowly begain to return to normal."Subject's heart rate riseing to higher then normal conditions, Recommend postponeing Phase Four until it's bio signs are nominal."
Mike nodded to him,"Yes this subject is proving most valuable, No need to waste it on foolishness. Shut down his higher brain fucntions and put him in a coma until he is healed." he said to Harold and then looked in at Nikolai. "Well done Subject X21, Tommarow we will contenue our work." with that Mike turned and left the room adding all the Data to his PADD from the experiment.
Harold activated the Nanites Electric burst systems and begain to shock Nikolai into a deep comalike state so that his body could recooperate for the next expance of tests.
Nikolai shook violently as his body was electicuted into dormancy foam comming from his lips mingleing with the bile from eariler. Noone came in to clean him as he laid in a pool of his own bodily waste. He was less then human to these people and his outlook was bleak.
