A New Evolution

Chapter Twenty

Birdie was enjoying life in the new facility. The atmosphere of torture had gone replaced by luxury living quarters for both staff and patients, a hospital equipped with all the latest scientific advancements and deep within the earthy core numerous laboratories were housed designed to produce state-of-the-art cyborgs.

Theodore marched into his beautiful office and planted himself behind his imposing oak desk. “Sit down birdie,” he said in his deep, commanding voice. “We need to catch up before Craig Westmount arrives. The good news is, we’ve had a scourge on hackers and potential hackers and eliminated all those who threaten to bring down the supercomputer. Others, the exceptional and willing ones we’ve enlisted to work with us improving our systems. As for our old friend Dante, we won’t have to worry about him anymore either.”

There was a fluttering in Birdie’s guts, and sweat broke on his forehead. “And the missing alien cyborg. What about him?”

“His names Jonah – it just takes a little research to find out someone's name. I sometimes wonder how you ever gained so many qualifications. As you know, all the cyborgs were issued with tracking devices. We know where each of them is hiding and their current status. There is a whole department watching their every move.”

Theodore lifted the lid of his laptop and turned it so Birdie could see the screen. “As you can see from the charts, we’ve so far had five volunteers willing to allow their old bodies to die and be a part of the next stage in man's evolution.”

“Yes, sir. They were rigorously tested. All were intelligent men with active minds who passed the psychological tests performed by Strummer. They all signed the relevant consent forms giving us permission to infect them with the bacteria taken from our first subjects.”

“So, what went wrong,” Theodore demanded. The lines between his eyes pulled together, and his hard-blue eyes stared sternly at Birdie.

“It would seem that timing is of vital importance,” Birdie replied lowering his gaze. “The germ takes hold and produces a rapidly spreading web of new neural networks. We want the dull human brain ignited but not beyond a certain point before we upload it to the enhanced bodies. The new power duals against the underlying character of the subject – the two minds go into competition.”

“Literally, the brains of our first two subjects exploded,” Theodore said unemotionally. “The energy was so great we could smell burning.”

“Yes, sir the human frame is not strong enough to withstand such a rush of activity. However, we have achieved far better results with our other patients. They are watched day and night, and the moment they’re compelled to record equations or designs is the sign we need that they must be uploaded immediately.” Birdie nervously took off his glasses and busied himself cleaning the lenses. He hated being under Theodore's scrutiny.

“Today as you understand we have a potential new patient and it’s absolutely vital – I repeat vital with this subject you succeed. You will be assigned to his care throughout the process.
