Powers Origin:

Video File experiment <Redacted> test subject <Redacted>:
Video Transcript begins:
Ok you want me to record what I experienced and talk about it?
We need to go back to the beginning. 1943 October 28th. The Philadelphia Experiment. An experiment in invisibility. It didn't go that well did it? How many were on the ship when they turned the generators on? [technicians note: video distorts. Examination of the frames show a twisted I beam. 32 frames total].
People went missing or were insane or melted into the ship. The ship itself was barely functional when it returned.
So they had to try it again didn't they? Only trying something that will make just a man invisible. [Technician's note further distortion. 4 frames of test subject standing in the corner. Video resumes with him at the table with no indication how he got up or back to the table from the corner. Looks like he never moved if you remove the distortion.].
I'm not exactly certain what happened. There are things? places? ideas? No. None of those words feel correct. Do they feel? It's so strange thinking about it. [Technicians note: 14 seconds of the video appearing multifaceted. Like viewing from a fly's eye. Again after the anomalie the video returns as if it didn't happen at all. Including the timestamp.]
I feel more AWARE NOW. [Technicians note: As he states this the words appear on every 20th frame for a duration of 1 frame for 6 seconds. Psychoanalysts note: This could be some latent ability that has been activated by the experience. Further testing recommended.]
How many of us were lost? How many didn't come back? How many are insane? Am I sane? Am I even all here? Are you even real? I see your spaces. I see between the spaces. Do they scatter when you die? Maybe I will eat them. Maybe others will eat them. Maybe they will simply cease to exist. Wouldn't that be interesting. Soul flies away and doesn't and never has existed. The universe keeps grinding on. [Video disrupts again and there are 17 frames behind the distortion of what look like a large pile of teeth in a close shot. Makes you think that this is a large bin of them or something.]
Is it speaking to me? Feeling at me? Looking at me? Does it see? Understand? Care? Sometimes you have to hunt. Give it something else to amuse it? Is that even right?
[The next 5 minutes are of Dr <Redacted> running through a wooded area of some kind. Obviously in fright. This event never took place. It took quite a bit of cleanup to get the garbled images of this at all]
The old saying. If you stare into the abyss it stares back. I wonder what happens if you reach out to it? Could I?
[Incident Investigators note: Test subject appears to reach out and pull something out of the air. He then dissappears. This is the point where all the other test subjects are killed and a number of the personel]
[Addendum: There appears to be an assassin operating that could be <Redacted>. However 100% identification has been problematic. Also does anyone know what happened to the actual video footage? I cannot seem to find it.]
[CRACKS WIDEN. REACHING]

Some years later at a V'Sori holding facility:
V'Sori-Interesting. How are you feeling?
Cash Out-Does it matter? None of the questions you ask have any point. Whatever you are looking for isn't something I can tell you.
V'Sori-Yes yes. But how are you feeling? I'd like to know.
Cash Out-I'd really like to see you die a slow painful death. Boiled alive sounds like fun.
V'Sori-Ah yeah. Anger and hate to keep your sanity in the face of inevitable failure. Interesting trait in your species. Let's continue then with the exploration. Please do try to stay awake this time eh? <into recording device> Subject HL404 Continuing into the chest cavity displays no unusual organs. <screams in background> Collecting tissue samples. Thus far the examination has proved quite uneventful. Most subjects that have been examined show some unusual features. Coloring, claws, etc. Nothing here to explain the origin of his powers. Ah there we go. Passed out again. Well my time here is far too short. I suppose I will need to piece him back together for a full examination at the base facilities.
