Methods of Deduction (AU) (TW: dehumanization, torture, homophobia, ableism) (1/?)

[tawabids]

This is going to end up a lot longer than I meant it to be, but I hope the original author of Searchlight finds it okay, at least! I'm really enjoying writing this universe, horrific though the subject matter is.

August 17, 1967Doctor Henry McCoy gazed through the roof of the isolation chamber, one palm pressed on it for balance. He was leaning so far over the shallow pyramid of glass he was almost kissing the surface, and he reached up to catch his spectacles as they began to slide down his nose

GRB-M-00001 had had no right to guilt him. Henry looked after his mutants, didn’t he? Better than Shaw would have. The memory of how lucid the telepath’s speech was - how impossibly sentient he had seemed - was already fading. So one mutant had learned how to speak; it wasn’t a precedent, it was an exception. And no surprise it was the one who could read minds. GRB-M-00001 wasn’t really aware of what he was saying when he talked, only that he was getting an emotional rise out of Henry. It was a mental trick, like faux-psychics that fed off the audience’s reaction in order to guess details about dead relatives

He sprinted right across the dusty yard between the main building and the tribe’s home, his lab coat flying behind him, missing the lock several times as he stabbed the key at it with shaking hands. He stumbled down the corridor into the screen room where Terry was watching the television monitors. The handler jumped out of his chair as Henry burst in, quickly trying to hide the hip flask that he'd been sipping from. Henry didn’t care about that, and rushed up to the monitors

[tawabids]

Henry snatched the key to the observation room’s door off the hook on the wall and hurried through into the windowed room. The only light inside the enclosure was the faint glow of patchwork stars through the frosted skylights. He jabbed a button on the circuit board and the blue light to summon GRB-M-00001 shone from the ceiling, casting a sterile tint across at the inert features of the enclosure. Henry could just see the silhouette of GRB-M-00001 still lifting his arm to finish a premise, then dragging his folded legs along the ground to begin the next

::sits on edge of seat::

I can just imagine how upset the family is at Em-One's stubbornness, hahaha. No one is probably very happy with him painting in blood, even if it does mean they can get a fall on the scientists.

Oh shit.

This is so intense.

My heart is actually racing. This series is so gutwrenching that I almost don't want to be optimistic about the end, but... yes, Erik. Kill.

Kill them all.
