I couldn't blame her, though.

She didn't have a good life.

I read the files on 313, even though I wasn't supposed to.

She was taken into custody after her parents were killed in front of her.

Apparently, her father found out she had some kind of gift and used it to cheat at illegal poker.

This made him lots of enemies, and they caught up to him.

But the men who killed her parents both ended up killing each other afterwards.

This caught the attention of Dr. Isaac, who was a firm believer that humans were evolving.

He tried to hone her powers through every method he could think of, but the only thing that worked was sensory deprivation.

At first, it started with tanks.

She could find people anywhere in the nation.

All she needed was a picture of their face, and within minutes, she could give their exact location, which worked great for targeted missile strikes.

Only he kept pushing her abilities, and she learned to change perception so well that missiles were no longer necessary.

Then, trying to hone the process further, he got rid of the tank and opted to sever her nerves.

So she lived in a constant state of sensory deprivation, with a feeding tube and IV.

It wasn't a life.

She wasn't a person anymore.

She was only a weapon, and it seemed at the time she didn't mind or didn't have the mental capability of caring.

She could have turned on us before the sector jumped, but there's no way to know.

Folks died all the time inside the sector, in strange and horrible ways.
