Session Notes

As a safety precaution, this session was held in a lead-shielded facility, with no one present but the subject and myself. I conducted the session from behind shielded glass.

At the end of the session dosimeters on site registered at least one short-term burst in excess of 100KeV before they became ionized to the extent that readings were no longer reliable.


"Before we begin, are you comfortable, Sara?"

"Yes."

"We're going to use hypnosis to try and help you reach any repressed feelings or memories about your time with Apocalypse. You understand and consent to this treatment?"

"If it will help."

"I believe it will. Ok, Sara, do you see the blinking light on the wall in front of your chair?"

"Yes."

"I want you to concentrate on that light, and on the sound of my voice. I want you to imagine yourself in a warm, safe place. The warmest, safest, most comfortable place you can imagine. You're feeling very calm, very safe, and very relaxed. When I count backwards from four, you will be in a very deep sleep, but you'll still be able to talk to me. You will remain asleep until I say 'Come back', at which point you will wake up, feeling very refreshed and relaxed. Do you understand?"

"Yes."

"Ok. Four, three, two, one... asleep. Can you hear me, Sara?"

"Yes."

"Good. Ok, I want you to think back to the night you were kidnapped. What were you doing?"

"I was sitting on the dock out by the boat house. The people in the Mansion were driving me nuts, I wanted to be alone. I was watching the stars and listening to music."

"Go on."

"Something... my head hurts! Something hit me! I think I'm gonna be si..."

"Something hit you on the head? Sara? What happened next? Sara?"

Long pause.

"Sara?"

"Sara isn't here."

"Then who am I speaking to?"

"Are you worthy?"

"Pardon me?"

"Are you worthy to be among those still standing after the fires of the Second Genesis burn away all that is weak and corrupted? Are you one of the strong?"

"What do you mean?"

"Humanity. Lesser mutants. They are weak and they must be culled from the herd."

"That's not..."

"ARE YOU WORTHY?"

Static and high-pitched interference.

"Come back! Sara! Come back!"

Long pause.

"Sara?"

Unintelligible

"Sara?"

"Wh... what happened to the chair?"
