[The display opens on the cemetery. The only interesting thing is a pile of rock and ash in front of a gravestone. How long has that been there? The cemetery isn't a wholly popular place, it could have been days. For a long moment, nothing happens. Birds chirp, wine rustles the trees.

Then-- there, do you see it? A piece of the rubble twitches slightly, then begins to roll up the pile. Another joins it in motion. Pretty soon all the pieces are shaking and rolling over each other, reshaping into the vague form of a body. A line of stones reach out towards the camera, pulling it up and in. Finally, the round shape on top solidifies into a head, complete with a face, the eyes open wide and he gasps, taking in the first breath of life he's had for days.]

Wha-- [He breathes heavily, slowly becoming more human than statue. His clothes are tattered, singed, and dusty.] What the hell?

Experiments like what? I don't like the sound of that.

No idea. All I know is that the few people who come back, they come back bloody and more than just a few screws loose.

Definitely not liking that. I like my screws where they are, thank you. Thanks for the warning, I guess, though not like I can do much with it.

Nope. Well, least it won't be too terrible a shock when you wake up strapped to a vivisection table or whatever it is they do.
