CHAPTER 12

Whidbey Island Naval Base & Space Port

Oak Harbor, WA

Underground Lab Complex

Calvin’s Lab

March 12th, 2065 10:00hrs

“That’s so cool, Uncle Calvin,” Ben said as they made their way to the lab, “So, Jen and I are the first to see the new ‘amp-aratus’?”

“Oh, good one...I’ll have to remember that. But you are right Ben. This is a zero gravity chair, padded and rigged to facilitate a much cleaner and efficient AMP session.”

“What if the chair misses my socket,” he asked.

“Then you’ll get a new hole in your head,” he smiled, pushing Ben into the man trap.

“Come on, really. What could happen?”

“The chair is equipped with a small visual cam that allows the computer to see that the person’s plug is aligned.”

“And you say it uses half the power and space that the mainframe system used?” Jen asked.

“Quite right indeed. You see? We’ve been taking notes on all your AMP sessions. Our system improvements will allow the gamma effect to last longer than just minutes.”

“You’ve got it down to hours now, right, Cal?”

“Yes, Ben. The sessions will last two hours after unplugging. Of course, the stations that are going to be sold for commercial use will be dampened.”

“They only get the bliss effect,” Rhodes added, coming from the opposite direction, “Come on,” he insisted, “Inside.”

The group quickly scanned through the secure station, entering Calvin’s lab.

“What’s got you’re panties in a knot, Doc?”

“They’re already shipping jamming packages out for commercial use.”

“What?!” Calvin nearly shouted.

“Shhh,” Rhodes said, with his back to a camera on the ceiling, “We have an infestation.”

“Bugs?” Calvin whispered, not moving his lips for the camera.

“Yes...bugs...don’t take too long getting them set up. We need to come up with a communication system...can you hack into the complex’s file library? Find out if they recorded us talking about leaving?”

“Leaving?” Jen said with a puzzled look, “What are you talking about?”

“Jen, you’ll have to trust me. Cal, hook them up, they can read my mind and get the info they need to know. Then have them help you hack in undetected.”

“Behind Nadine? I don’t think so. What are you two hiding, anyway?”

“You’ll find out soon enough,” Cal said, motioning to the two bright and shiny new chairs. “These are the Zero Gravity AMP stations that clinics will be using...these are the same models that are being shipped.” he whispered.

“A few...you’ll understand in a minute.”

“Ben, Jen. Just sit in the chair and relax normally. I’m cycling the power now,” Calvin switched on the power and the two chairs accelerated with a whine. “You should be plugged in now,” he added.

The two chairs aligned to each of their sockets, and then with a snap, they clicked into place, “There. You should be feeling the bliss effect beginning...now...and as evidenced by your facial expression, I’d say so...now, in two minutes the machine will ramp up to the AMP levels.”

“Veeerrry gooood,” Jen smiled.

“Yeeeees, veeery niiice,” Ben agreed.

“Okay. When you pass this stage of the AMP, your minds will be open to developing telepathy. You not
