“During the early stages of the program, The Center tried unsuccessfully to not only create a super-human with substantial physical abilities, but superior psychological abilities as well. Each treatment was temporary. They would experiment with different formulas and let the side effects wear off; then they would try a new round and record the results. As the success rate increased, so did their funding. They began to develop formulas for increased memory, language comprehension, dream enhancements and so on. At one point, they thought to have determined the formula that allowed man to communicate telepathically. But they were wrong. After they injected you with the first dose you had the ability to ‘map out’ anyone’s mind within close proximity. I guess the best way to describe it is that you absorbed their capacity to learn in the manner that they learned, and added to your own intelligence. Make sense?”
“Not really, but go on anyway.”
“It’s like you copied and pasted their intelligence into your brain. Everything they knew, you knew. Instantly.” Hank clarified.
“Ah…Why would that be a problem? Especially if the side effects are temporary?” Jack asked.
“Because it wasn’t temporary. It was the only formula that never wore off; and the information you gleaned was sensitive in nature to say the least.” Amy shook her head and paced around the room.
“So they want me dead… to bury their secrets?”
“No, Jack. They don’t want you dead; not yet at least. They want their formulas back. When you realized the power they were playing with, you destroyed their research. The only record of their work is trapped in here...” Amy tapped Jack’s forehead and looked at him severely.
Jack rubbed his temples and returned Amy’s gaze. He stood slowly. “Just out of curiosity…how do you know so much about this secret government program?”
