#1 of Deciphering The Past

Mickey wakes up from his sleeping stasis in a now abandoned lab. As he wanders in the lab, millions of questions are flowing in his head: "What happened?", "Why was I left alone?". Once he finds his way out, his goal is to find out why was he left out...and who is the one behind all of this. One thing is sure, he will not be alone in his quest and he will need as things will quickly turn for the worst.

A noise can be faintly heard from behind a closed, rusty door. Behind that door, a large, white, glossy room full of laboratories equipment is set. A circular shaped recovery pod is in the middle of the room, a soft red light emanating from the bottom, lighting a floating figure in a transparent liquid, the body plugged to the pod through various cables.

The mouse twitches slightly, his tail waving around slowly and lifts his hand to the glass and at the contact, the liquid slowly lowers and once it was all gone, the pod's glass opens outward and Mickey crawls out slowly, weakened and naked. It takes him a few minutes to stand up with the help with of a wall. He slowly walks around the room, trying to find some clues of what was going on while he was in his sleeping stasis. Everything is covered in a layer of dust. It is clear that nobody came here for a very long time. After about twenty minutes of research, he leans against a wall to rest and a screen flickers on the whole entire wall. Mickey turns around and shield his eyes from the sudden surge of light from the screen. Once his eyes are used to the glow of the screen, he notices that there is a folder at his name. He doubles tap on it and a single file opens.

Mickey Mouse, subject n°1996 arrived in our facility bloodied and critically injured from four guns wounds; one near his heart, two bullets went through his lungs and one lodged itself in his intestines. Thankfully, we managed to retrieve the two bullets and we will start 'repairing' the damages on his body.

  • E.A _ 06.10.2018

The body of the subject is stabilized and completely healed. We will start experimenting on him right away.

  • E.A _ 06.28.2018

Some experiments went well and some does not seem to work at all, we are looking at the potential reasons why they failed. He is the first subject to have successfully handled that much experiments without dying, which is just completely surreal. Subject n°1996 will be also referred as Prototype n°1.

'E.....A....' Mickey scratches his head, he knows he has seen these initials before but he cannot remember for the life of him what it means. 'I need to find out what happened to me...' Mickey walks to the closed door and seeing it does not open, he stretches the door open with ease. 'woah, this is awesome.' He looks at his hands. 'ok first of all, clothes...I need to find clothes' the though reaches him as he feels a little breeze on his whole body, making him shiver. Mickey walks along the dark corridor and only a few seconds later, he walks through another door which this time automatically opens. He notices a small red-light pad above him and manages to press on it, despise his small size compared to humans. The room lights up at once and Mickey can only look in astonishment at the sight in front of him. The room is gigantic, also glossy white and circularly shaped. At the very center of the room, a big now dead tree is planted totally leafless; right beside it, a few now broken benches can be seen and a big transparent sign showing the facility's map in different colors. Mickey cautiously walks toward the sign while looking around in awe. 'What is this place, where the hell am I?'

As he stops in front of the sign, he realizes that the whole room is also covered in a quite thick layer of dust. 'How long was this place abandoned? How long was I left out?' He notices that the facility has four floors, the first floor is at the ground surface level and is shown with a very light brown highlight with pitch black edges on the sign. This floor is basically composed of four receptions, a café, a board room, administrative offices, restrooms, washrooms and elevators.

The second floor or the 'minus two' floor is highlighted in a regular brown with pitch black edges and is composed of two receptions, a café, a medical center, restrooms, elevators and stairways. What first caught Mickey's eyes is the floor's number 'Am I underground? And why is there so much receptions?'

The third floor or the 'minus three' is suddenly darker then the second floor and is highlighted in a dark shade of brown with pitch black edges. This floor contains the X-Ray rooms, MRI, operating rooms and ultrasounds.

As for the fourth floor, it is completely pitch black with white writing and white edges and the floor is made out of a café, operating rooms, restrooms, washrooms, a huge public dome and a gigantic Performance Improvement/Test room.

'I must be in the public dome room. I need to find clothes now.' He locates the wash room and finds his way there in no time, surprising himself of not getting lost. As he gets near the door, a smell hits his nose, almost making him throw up right on site. 'Oh god, that smell...' he pinches his nose as he presses the light pad on his right which shows him a washroom completely trashed, everything is upside down and clothes bathing in a disgusting green liquid which he quickly assumes that it's water...well, beyond dirty water. Mickey does not think twice about it twice and runs away as fast as he can. Once he thinks that he is far enough from the room, he let his nose breath again. 'What the actually hell happened here?' he thinks as he enters a random room and presses the pad but the light does not come. It's only now that he realizes that he can see in the pitch-black environment, he can see very well; which makes him smile. It is a very small room with a bed, a wardrobe and a desk. 'Must be the sleeping quarter area here.' He thinks as he opens the wardrobe and looks around for some clothes. Thankfully, the person who was sleeping here was a man and Mickey finds clothes very quickly. He makes some adjustments for his size with the shirt's sleeves and the pants, the results? Floaty but much better then walking naked for sure. The next thing he looks at is the desk and spots a USB stick which he puts in his pocket.

As he walks back to his room, he feels a sense of unease creeping in his back. His walk pace increases, turning into a small jogging and then a full sprint. In a matter of a few seconds, he finds himself in front of the large wall screen. He sticks the USB screen to the screen and a folder appears with several files. Mickey double taps each file one by one but they are all locked behind a password. He shrugs as he copies his file into the USB folder before leaving for the elevators. Oddly enough, they are still operational, he enters one and heads up for the surface. After a long lift up that feels like an eternity, the door finally opens to what it seems like a forest. Mickey steps out while shielding his eyes from the sun and looks around. The birds are singing, there is a small breeze, perfect day it seems. He can faintly hear in the distance the busy sound of a city and a river nearby. 'Iguess I can only start from there.' He sets off for the city and about fifteen minutes of walk, he finds himself out of the forest on a hill giving a wonderful view over a futuristic-looking city on the seaside. The skyline is crowded with towering skyscrapers and a few blimps. The buildings are white and most parts of their walls are made of glass. The ocean looks crystal clear with the sun reflecting on the waves; from his position, he spots some crowded beaches. 'woah this looks really amazing.' He watches in awe before regaining his composure and makes his way to the city but before he can go further, a noise behind makes him stop in his track. "Who's there?! I heard you, show yourself!" Hearing his own voice surprised him, he remembers his voice being less 'beasty'. He turns around as watches carefully his surroundings.

"That voice...I know that voice." A shaken police officer comes out from a bush with a taser in his right hand and his cop insignia in his left hand. "Mickey? Is that you? It can't be..."

Mickey makes a few steps backward as his eyes are drawn on the taser. Once it is clear that the officer will not shoot accidentally, he then looks at the officer. It takes him a few seconds to recognize the person in front of him. "Casey? Detective Casey?" He grins as he walks up to him.

"Oh, my days...Mickey, it's really you! How? How did you...I saw you get shot four times in the chest." Casey runs up to Mickey and hugs him tightly, practically picking him up. Once he sets the mouse back on the ground, he withdraws his taser back.

"It's a long story...I...I do not know where to begin with Casey..." Mickey scratches his head while taking his shirt off to show the scars.

"Well you better start somewhere, you were declared dead."

"What? Dead?" Mickey stares at Casey in disbelief. "I...what happened after?"

"We hold a ceremony of course. The whole city mourned you for three days. I got called a few times by either Minnie, Daisy or Oswald and I spent time with them to help them process and move on...I guess. They had a really hard time recovering but they are doing okay now. But what happened to you? Where were you?"

"It's complicated...and I have something with me that I need to check." Mickey grabs the USB from his pocket and gives it to Casey. "Also, I cannot just show up like that...not now."

"Come and let's go in my office. I have everything I need to cover you, nobody will recognize you...but at least you will have to see Seamus O'Hara. It will both do some good."

"I agree. Let's go."

The pair walks back to Casey's hovering car and Mickey notices Casey texting to someone. "Alright, O'Hara will be waiting for us in his office."

"Sounds good to me. I see your windows are very tainted." Mickey remarks as he sits down in the passenger seat, while locking his seatbelt.

"New policy...for safety reasons...I'll explain to you later."

The car ride is really quiet, nobody dares to break the silence. Mickey is gathering his thoughts, trying his best to come up with a summary of the recent events; meanwhile, Casey still has a hard time believing that Mickey is still alive.

About forty-five-minute drive later, they arrive at the Mouseton Police Station.

"I will park underground and we will take the lift straight to his office, you shouldn't worry about being seen." Casey finally breaks the silence as he turns right to the underground parking of the station. Once he parks the car, they both hastily make their way to the elevator and thankfully enough, no other officers show up.

Once the lift stops, the doors open straight in O'Hara's office. The office is really large and glossy. The main color scheme is dark blue, the same color as their uniforms. The lights are white and really soft. The back of the room, there's O'Hara's desk with two comfortable-looking seats made of leather and at the other side of the desk, O'Hara is reading a file on his large paper-thin plasma screen while having a sip of coffee; which he nearly spits out the moment he sees Mickey approaching with Casey.

"M...Mickey? How..." the chief exclaims.

"Well...I...I'll explain..." Mickey begins to feel really uneasy. "I'm confused...about some things...and I believe that this USB holds a few good answers." He says while Casey gives the USB to O'Hara.

"Sit down, you seem exhausted Mickey, would you like a cup of coffee?" O'Hara walks to his coffee machine, leaving the USB on his desk.

"Ummm sure, I'll take one please."

"Me too." Casey sits in the chair next to Mickey.

"two coffee it is. Why don't you tell us what happened in the meantime?"

"Alright. Well..."
