he was close to a break through and decided to take the
project underground and continue to experiment on his own,

a defect in the treatment, unforeseen side effects began
to appear in many of the subjects so it was decided that
the only way to hide these unforeseen side effects inside

in fact his family and his life before being put into the
asylum actually existed. Just at that moment of doubt an
electrical storm knocks out the asylum's power resulting
in the whole security system shutting down, this is when
Daniel decides to escape with the aid of fellow inmate Leo
Kasper.
