A large glass tank sits inside a recess in the paneled wall. In the tank, a cloudy, slightly green liquid pulsates and glows as if electrically charged. MATT JENSON lies in the bottom of the tank, a breathing apparatus on his face.

MATT (Voice Over)

I discovered how to manipulate the molecular components of cells—in a way that produced amazing results. I'm still in college, but I've been deep into biophysics, chemistry and mathematics for many years. Started young. Gifted, they said. A boy genius.

Well, maybe if I'd been smart enough to know then what I know now, I wouldn't have experimented on myself. Then again, I doubt that I could have resisted. I can only hope that the worst of the experience is over.
