The next day...

8:00 PM. The book lies at the side of your bed, tempting you. You can't read it now, however. Doing so would seem suspicious. You decide to go along your day as normal.

You casually mention that you're going to spend some time reading through the library books to Ryuko at breakfast. You make sure to mention that you're not hopeful.

"I can't tell her right now... We all know Alex has hidden microphones and cameras all over the place..." You think to yourself.

After watching Jurassic Park with Ryuko, you head to bed to finally take a look at the book. You non-chalantly pick it up and look at it. The cover is dark green and it reads "A guide to the female anatomy" in dull, golden letters. You open it up and begin to see what you can find.

"December 16th, 2010. My name is Mai." The first writings read. You recognize the name. Mai was one of the residents of the hall. You lived only a few rooms from her. However, the year confused you. The building wasn't even open until 2015, and you knew that Mai was transformed this spring. You continued reading in hope of answers. [Mai Shiranui, Fatal Fury]

"I am one of the last remaining women at the hall. Everyone else has disappeared, and thanks to the strict enforcement, we haven't the slightest clue of where they have gone. It's strange... I feel like I'm missing something... I feel like I was already told where they went, but I can't remember. I wonder if this was part of Alex's mind alteration too.

Regardless, it doesn't matter now. I know I'll join their ranks soon. I must not let my story be erased. I need to warn future generations. Listen to me! You aren't the first women to live here, and unless you do something, you won't be the last!"

Suddenly, a memory came back to you. Whether Alex had tried to erase it, or whether you just forgot, Alex's words rang through your head once more.

"We take young men like you and use our machine here to turn them into some of the most iconic women in fiction. Games, Tv shows, Movies, Anime... As long as they're an animated female character, we can create them. We've done Asuka, Lara Croft, Tifa, Samus... LOTS of Samus's... You name it, we'll turn someone into them."

You knew only one Samus. And yet, Alex had claimed to have created loads of them. So... Why weren't they here on the floor? Surely they didn't all get turned into staff, you would have heard about them. These words left you with one inevitable conclusion.

The Mai writing this book was an entirely different Mai. She had disappeared, along with the rest of her residents, by the end of the year. The same thing had happened ever year. The hall was flooded with girls every year from winter to early summer, and then during the fall and winter, the hall was cleared out again. It had happened every year, and now it was happening again. Cammy was just the first to go. And as for the building itself, it had been here for much longer than you thought. Only recently however was it able to show it's face without fear of the law.

You continued reading the book. Inside, you found invaluable information beyond your wildest dreams.

Mai told of the "outer rooms". Supposedly, the maiden's hall was in the center of this huge laboratory complex. The outer rooms consisted of staffing chambers, hallways, traps, observation rooms, transformation rooms, experimentation labs, holding cells, doctor's rooms, and more. Mai spoke of the "yellow" rooms. These were the rooms that only Alex and the Yellows were permitted to enter. Supposedly, these rooms held the experimental girls that refused Alex, but she didn't know what exactly lay within due to other color staff not being permitted inside.

Speaking of staff, Mai goes on to say that the staff are actually more in control of themselves than they appear, but choose to remain ignorant out of fear of an even worse transformation that they refuse to speak of. The only exception to this is are the Yellows, who can think freely, but cannot act freely in the slightest.

Mai also spoke of Alex's secrets. Supposedly, she also had a dick, larger than all the others. It was rumored that she would also personally fuck her favorite residents from time to time, then brainwash those memories out of their head.

But most interestingly of all, Mai spoke of the Factory's one weakness, but also it's greatest danger. The unlit dungeon. Supposedly, the maiden's hall was only the first of it's kind. There were plans to expand in the future, and three more halls, all with their own labs surrounding them, lay below. They weren't currently being used by maidens, but they were supposedly being used. Alex's more **** experiments, had been released into the dungeon's halls, where they made their lairs.

"I don't know much else about the unlit dungeon." Mai writes. "I know that those who ventured down there never made it back. But... I also know that from the building plans we smuggled out from the lab's personal library, it's our only hope. For way at the very bottom of the dungeon, there's the backup control room and generator. If someone were to get to that, we'd gain control over the entire factory. We'd be able to lock Alex and her guards in their rooms, and we'd finally be able to take the elevator to freedom.

It's risky, but it's a risk I must take. I must escape, or who knows what will happen to me? I'm taking the building pans and I'm headed down to the dungeon. If you're reading this... Then I must have failed. I wish you luck, whomever you are. You may choose to stay and disappear with the others, and I can't blame you for that. But... If you wish to follow in my footsteps and attempt to free everyone, then turn to the next page."

You flip the page. Your eyes widen in shock. An entire replica of the building plans is drawn out on a blank page. It shows every room in the building with detail. The entrance to the dungeon was highlighted in red. In performance room #24, there was an air vent. This vent connected to the level below that. The same vent was present on all the floors, down to the point where you could reach the control room by stairs. You flip through the remainder of the pages and find one final note.

"P.S. If you need to find a place without cameras, go to the theater. If you need to find a spot without microphones, go to the pool."

You smirked and set the book down. Tomorrow, it was time to go swimming.
