Terry Ives was a volunteer test subject in Dr. Martin Brenner's Project MKUltra experiments at Hawkins National Laboratory. These experiments were designed to push the boundaries of the human mind, involving the use of psychedelic drugs and sensory deprivation. Terry's involvement in the project took a dramatic turn when Dr. Brenner took her daughter from her, leading to a series of events that included Terry filing a lawsuit against Brenner and attempting a daring rescue mission at Hawkins Lab.
