The computer cast light from it’s screen, rivaling the moon outside at its peak. Myles did not wait for any reaction from Sean about the previous entries before he pulled up the medical log for subject 754-SU. Immediately, lines of numbers and letters showed up on the monitor, showing the results from the tests mentioned in previous entries.

Humming softly to himself, Myles exited the page, and clicked the one for Subject 326-EL. He completely skipped the logs -much to Sean's protest- and went straight to the medical document. “Reading those takes too long. This has all the information we need.”

Dr. Edward P. Markus

Current body: Sean Leelan

Medical files for current body on hand: Yes

Created: August 2, 2016

Powers: Magic (all kinds)

Note: Most of its magic is uncontrollable, only the levitation powers seem to work.

Mental age: 22

Note: Could age have something to do with the fast decline in health?

Mental illness (if any): N/A

Note: Subject has an acute understanding of nearly everything in the school system.”

Sean drummed his fingers on the table impatiently, “Hurry up, Sean's fighting me. Don't scroll, you imbecile, just click on the Medical stuff.” Myles gaze hardened at the insult, but he adhered to Sean's demands. The next file -Subject 784-EY- was glitched and full of error messages, so Myles omitted it entirely.

“Subject 562- DE: Medical log
December 31, 2016
Dr. Edward P. Markus

Current body: Myles Matterman

Medical files for current body on hand: Yes

Created: December 29, 2016

Mental age: 30

Note: Subject is extremely extroverted, though he does have a rather unnerving lust for violence.

In need of schooling: Maybe

Note: The Subject may be 30, but he has the academic mind of a highschooler.”

Scoffing at the trueness of it all, Myles clicked away. He had only known this particular subject for about two minutes before he took control, but those two minutes gave him an accurate representation of his entire personality. Sean snatched the mouse while he was distracted and hastily picked the next persona before Myles could take it back.

“Subject 495-BR: Medical log
February 9, 2017
Dr. Edward P. Markus

Current body: Sean Leelan

Medical files for current body on hand: Yes

Created: February 8, 2017

Note: Instead of trying to give him new abilities, we merely enhanced those he already had. It didn't seem to work though, he fell comatose the next day.

Note: Previous theory about age proven wrong, I owe Stephen a Snickers.

Mental illness (if any): ADHD

Myles wrestled the mouse back, and clicked on the next log before Sean could retaliate. Angered by this intervention, Sean bit Myles’ arm and drew a small line of blood running up to the elbow. Myles did not care, and used the bloody arm to hold Sean away from the computer.

“Subject 219-AL: Medical log
February 5, 2017
Dr. Edward P. Markus

Current body: Sean Leelan

Medical files for current body on hand: Yes

Created: February 5, 2017

Note: It didn't even last a day this time. What are we doing wrong?

Powers: Healing, quick regeneration, diseases

Note: Apparently exposing the conscious to various diseases and ailments before introducing it to the body makes it able to give them to others. Temporarily, of course.

Mental age: 26

Mental illness (if any): Anxiety

Note: Therapeutic help is needed. That makes two of us.

Vocal ability: 5/10

Note: The subject often stutters and inserts apologies into its sentences.

In need of schooling: No

Note: Subject has an advanced knowledge of the medical field, it could have been an enormous asset on the battlefield.”

Myles threw the back of his head into Sean’s ribcage, knocking him back away from the computer and pushing him onto the floor. Sean glared at him from the tiles, contemplating his next actions as Myles wiped the blood from his arm onto his shirt.

“Subject 483-CH: Medical log
May 16, 2017 (1:34 PM)
Dr. Edward P. Markus

Current body: Myles Matterman

Medical files for current body on hand: Yes

Created: May 16, 2017 (12:45 PM)

Note: We tried something different this time, since we have acquired new funding from Google,  and created a robotic body for it. Apparently this was not the correct course of action, as the systems hadn’t been running for an hour before they shut down. The body is being stored in a closet, just in case we need it again.

Powers (systems): Duplication (control-C), Teleportation (control-X, control-V), Cannon-arm, Self-repair systems, Pause, strength.

Note: We were able to integrate many more abilities into the robotic body than the living one, it was designed to be a front-line-fighter.

Mental age: --

Note: It is a robot. It doesn’t have emotions, let alone an age.

Mental illness (if any): OCD

Note: It does not have a fondness for messy humans. I’m not sure whether to be worried or not.

Vocal ability: 10/10

Note: The subject is extremely blunt, but all of his information is correct.

Social abilities: 0/10

Note: Subject does not like humans at all. This is rather worrying.

In need of schooling: No

Note: Subject has access to the internet, he could probably teach us a few things.”

Sean pounced from his place on the floor and crashed into Myles, who’s head lurched forward and went straight into the screen. Sparks and glass flew everywhere, and when Myles had dislodged himself, there were several bleeding cuts and burns all over his face and neck. Sean started laughing maniacally at Myles’ glare, and ended up falling back onto the floor; rolling around in his giggle fit. “You should’ve seen your face! Priceless!” He screeched, as Myles silently stood up from the swivel chair and faced him. “I hope you are enjoying yourself. It’s good to have your last free moments be happy ones.”

Myles stood up and brushed the dirt off of his T-shirt, striding past Sean and exiting the computer area. “What do you mean?” Sean asked, stumbling over himself in his haste to get up and follow Myles. “I mean, that Myles has finally gotten past my barriers, and Sean is about to get past yours; so we will be trapped in the mindscape with the other idiot subjects until another opportunity arises. I now bid you goodbye, and ask you not to waste so much of our time next we are in control.”

Myles turned and did a short, stiff bow, and when he came back upright, the black voids that had once acted as eyes in Myles’ skull were back to their usual white and brown. Myles -the real Myles this time- gasped as his personality became dominant once again.

Screaming in anger, Sean’s eyes were overtaken by their usual colors as well, the green fighting valiantly against the blue and white until the real Sean was back in control.

The friends stared at each other for a minute, trying to figure out what had just happened, until both faces split into relieved and nervous smiles. They embraced each other wholeheartedly, blabbering on top of one another in incoherent jabbers. Exhausted tears flowed from their tear-ducts, forming small puddles on the floor below them. Both were ecstatic that they were alive, both were elated that they were still sane, both were glad that the personas in their minds were silent for now, and that the two evil dreamweavers had fallen into slumber.

Ruining the moment, the phone rang in Myles’ pocket, and he answered it with a smile, unaware of what the consequences would be.
