The Subject

A man wakes up to find his body gone and replaced by mechanical spider legs. He falls from his restraints and catches fire, which is soon extinguished by Dr James Suhendra, a deranged but skilled scientist. James desires to create a successful mechanical-human hybrid, using kidnapped humans as guinea pigs. He carries out a lobotomy on a young woman ('Subject 99') using a circular saw, and sedates a restrained young man ('Subject 98') after he wakes up early. Both experiments are successful; Subject 98 becomes a large robot with spring-powered blades for arms, and Subject 99 becomes a functioning cyborg that responds to speech. The rest of the tape is mostly presented from her point of view. James celebrates 99's success, and a news report states that a rash of recent disappearances are driving wedges between the police and the public. James is suspected of kidnapping his patients, and 99's old self is shown onscreen; James remarks on how she still recognises her old appearance.

James attempts to wipe 99's memories; 99 wakes up during the procedure and hits James, before attempting to undo her restraints. James beats 99 repeatedly with a metal tray, and her battery life drops before he is interrupted by a knock at the door; a team of soldiers have arrived to arrest James. James throws a blanket over 99 as the soldiers break in, and the tape cuts to timid cameraman Jono's feed. After the commander confirms that James is their suspect, the police shoot him dead, and begin hunting the lab for survivors. They discover 99, and argue over if she should be killed or kept alive as she isn't human anymore, despite technically being a survivor. A sudden blackout occurs in the lab, and Jono witnesses 99 escape, but doesn't say anything.

Another soldier attempts to shoot the door lock and free the group, but triggers an explosion. As the group come to, an alarm begins to sound and James's contingency plan begins. Over a speaker, James states that his creation is his only, and that those who try to take it from him shall die. Subject 98 awakens and slaughters most of the soldiers; Jono and the commander survive after the commander hurls a grenade at 98. Subject 99 comes to, and flees through the building as she is shot at by the surviving soldiers and chased by 98. She locks herself in a small office room and finds blueprints for her cyborg body and cannon arm, along with the upper half of her head and face preserved in a jar of formaldehyde. She approaches a mirror, and sees her new form for the first time; enraged, she punches the mirror and breaks it. After leaving the room and coming across more of James's failed experiments, 99 fights her way through the building, slaughtering any soldiers she comes across in self-defence. She discovers Jono behind a door, and spares him after he begs for his life and promises to help her out of the lab. Suddenly, the commander appears and shoots 99 before beating her; Jono grabs a gun and shoots the commander dead before being attacked by Subject 98. With her battery critically low, 99 uses the last of her strength to tear out 98's brain, killing it. She collapses next to a heavily injured Jono, and her battery finally dies. The tape cuts to a security camera, which shows 99 standing up and walking off.
