Synopsis
The children who reside in the Facility don't have names, they have numbers. They don't have parents, they have doctors. They don't have dreams, they have assignments.
And yet, one child among them wonders about the family she was snatched away from, about the name they surely gave her... And she dreams. She dreams about an ordinary life and what's waiting for her on the other side of the wall that imprisons her. Fresh air, freedom... delicious food.
Machine Flower follows 9-01's struggle to claim the human identity that was denied her by the scientists, who see her as nothing more than a weapon to be used in the righteous battle against the villains who would terrorize their nation. But is the selfish need for personal freedom worth sacrificing the safety of millions? -

Ohh shit, this os going downhill really quickly… Still, Calvin has some time left. There’s still a chance he could be a recurring character!
May 8th, 2010 at 11:41 pm
Here’s hoping he escapes in time. And if not, that someone smacks Two or something, because she’s enjoying this a little too much for my likes.
May 9th, 2010 at 12:32 am
two is being a super-bitch(tm)
May 9th, 2010 at 2:07 am
I thought that was “normal” for Two to be that way.
May 9th, 2010 at 10:16 am
Honestly. I thought she was going to off him when she found her sister. But hay who knows maybe they might start experimenting on him to.
May 9th, 2010 at 10:24 am
sorry for not finishing the thought the first time. I just reread that and it didn’t make a lot of sense. i meant that if they did that would seriously mess with one’s head… or just piss her off really badly especially if the experiments were designed to fail.
May 9th, 2010 at 10:02 pm
Maybe this is weird, but I think I understand Two.
Think about it. Every silly, stupid thought you’ve had. All the things you’re able to catch before you blurt them out, all the embarrassing secrets, all the weird trains of thought you’ve had, she hears them. She sees the things we all try to hide, and I think it’s made her seriously jaded and cynical, with maybe a bit of superiority complex thrown in.
That, and I’m not sure she’s entirely sane. I don’t think I’d be completely on the level if I had to listen to everybody’s thoughts all day.
May 10th, 2010 at 10:01 am
True. The author even said it during the story. How many times can you listen to the other kids dying, while you wait to be next all the while being able to read all there thoughts in the process. Not to mention what the people doing the experimentation might be thinking the through the whole thing either.

I would like to ask: did anyone else see this coming?
May 10th, 2010 at 6:43 pm
NOOOOOOO
May 11th, 2010 at 11:19 pm
… blargh, I just cought up to the comic. Now I have to wait D:… oh well, it’s good enough that I”ll stick around and see what happens.
May 12th, 2010 at 1:44 am
… You know maybe I’ve been watching too much Zero Punctuation but I can’t get over how stupid the directors of this program must be. Nearly every one of the next generation of Captain Americas featured seem to have some kind of mental “issue” and even their oh so perfect number 2 is a sociopathic sadist who looks down on regular humans. And why have none of the horriblely abused super soldiers never releaised that their captors can be killed by the super powers they gave them. And it seems really stupid to plant your ultra secret test facility in walking distance of a town.

Psychology is an interesting thing. You’d be surprised how people can just follow in step with command. Take for instance Hitler. He had TONS of soldiers under him and all they really needed to do was turn around and kill him. But they didn’t because they were taught to fear him. Same principle. As for the town being close by, how are they supposed to know that? The people running the facility figured they wouldn’t have to worry about it much. They weren’t letting any failures out and that they were ignorantly blissful about the outside, as One proved when she just opened up about everything. Many people, you see, are just stupid especially when they’re shrouded in ignorance.
May 12th, 2010 at 4:31 am
Oh, and what mental issue does Three have, btw? Or really any of them besides Two?
May 13th, 2010 at 2:58 pm
One has rage issues, as shown by the shattered desk earlier. I’m not sure if Three has anything besides the fact that she’s a CYBORG. Which probably causes some kind of complex when she compares herself to normal people.
May 13th, 2010 at 4:48 pm
Breaking stuff just sounds like being a teen to me. And why’s Three being part computer mean she has actual mental issues? Not like she signed up for it.
May 14th, 2010 at 2:04 am
But that doesn’t mean she wont feel like an outcast among outcasts. Because as far as I know she’s the only one that has all her innards replaced with machines. So even if she didn’t ask for it (I seriously dought any of them did) doesn’t mean she feels like one of the others remember in a previous comic her reaction when she was told off by one when she brought it up?
May 14th, 2010 at 2:09 am
As much as i find the story interesting (and the only comic out of about 12 dozen that i read and the only one i have ever posted on) i cant help but think the author is delaying the update just to see what the readers are going to say when He/She? update. Maybe He/She? is planing on either blowing our minds, or showing us something completely different.
May 15th, 2010 at 12:02 am
She has lots of allergies during the spring, so sometimes she’s too sick to post, as she has said previously. She’s not manipulating anyone.
And as for Three, being part machine, I still don’t know which psychological diagnosis you’d give her. Hm.. a teen feeling out of place? Last I checked that wasn’t in the DSM-IV.
May 15th, 2010 at 3:03 am
Oh alright I caught up in about a day so i know practically nothing about the author. But yea lol I kinda get where your going with that. But still she is practically the only one of her kind… I think. could be why she keeps trying to keep humor to try and hide how she feels about it. Or to keep from going completely nuts.
June 14th, 2010 at 5:37 pm
Seems to me that 2 has the “right” kind of attitude of the facility. She may even be a psychopath which is that she has no feelings for anybody or anything but herself. To her killing is like sitting in a chair or getting an electric shock. Ruthless and it is very hard to scare them either. No battle trauma for them. NO PTSD so they are ideal soldiers and terrible people.
