AFTER
As Isaacs prepared a special syringe in his lab, the image of a nine-year-old girl appeared behind him and said, âDr. Isaacs?â
Isaacs winced at the voice of the White Queen. The artificial intelligence was the next upgrade from the Red Queen, the AI that ran the Hive. That computer had locked the Hive down after the T-virus spread and been a bit overzealous in her enforcement of the quarantine.
The White Queen was supposed to be an improvement, but Isaacs found her voice to be as annoying as the Red Queenâsâwho had been modeled after the late Angie Ashford, as a sop to her father.
For his part, Isaacs preferred computers that didnât have personalities. Not for the first time, he expressed silent gratitude at reading the report that Dr. Simon Barr, whoâd developed the AIs that Umbrella used, had been killed by the T-virus a year and a half ago. Isaacsâs only regret was that he hadnât been able to kill Barr himself for inflicting this lunatic girl on his life.
âWhat is it?â he asked.
âAnother test subject has failed the training floor.â
Isaacs sighed. This grew tiresome. âWhere?â
âAt the laser grid.â
Turning, Isaacs saw an image on his flat-screen of the re-creation of the security corridor to the Red Queenâs CPU in the Hive. Security Division had been a bit overzealous in its protection of the AIâwhich was revolutionary, about ten years beyond anything on the open market, and therefore a target, never mind the fact that its placement in the Hive made it sufficiently secureâbut it proved to be a fine model for testing the Alice clones.
Or, rather, it would have been if the clones werenât proving so difficult. âDammit, theyâre getting worse,â he said.
âShall I ready another?â
âOf course,â Isaacs said. As if she had to ask.
âThis will be the eighty-seventh.â
He definitely preferred computers that didnât have personalities. âYour point?â
âI was merely making an observation.â
Isaacs somehow managed not to snarl at the holographic image. Instead, he just said, âTell them to take a sample of her blood.â Since there was plenty of it smeared all over the glass walls, that wouldnât be a hardship. âThen prepare a vaccine from it. Weâll use it on the next subject if this one doesnât perform.â
Even as he instructed the White Queen, he was walking over to Hockey Jersey and injecting the syringeâwhich had three needlesâinto the back of the undeadâs neck. Hockey Jersey wasnât thrilled with this, but DiGennaro had done his job of securing him well, and the bonds held him steady while Isaacs injected him.
Once that took effect, it would be on to the testing stage.
