Amelix

Keiko knew this was the Amelix building. She had been told that it was, and she had an excellent memory for what she was told.

Dr. Chelsea was talking. Keiko listened in case something was about herself.

“Dr. Fauzi,” she said. “Yes, that’s right. I remember now. Amelix labs in…was it Singapore?”

There was a pause in the conversation. Keiko did not know why. Then Dr. Chelsea began speaking again.

“Yes, you got them from me. I am indeed aware that you did not request them.”

Silence again. Keiko did not wonder why Dr. Chelsea had stopped talking. Keiko did not wonder about anything at all. Dr. Chelsea began talking again.

“I’m sure you understand that there are certain activities that Amelix needs to have handled with absolute discretion. All I can tell you at this point is that I have spoken directly with Dr. Zytem himself about this project, and I am following direction from obvious and absolute superiors. Just ensure the rats are kept on a separate air supply hyper-filtered below zero-point-zero-one microns in both directions, and await further instructions. Thank you for your call. Goodbye.”

Dr. Chelsea stopped talking again.

This new lab was off limits to everyone, and sealed behind self-darkening electroplexi. Only Dr. Chelsea knew what went on here. Keiko had special permission to come and go from here. Dr. Chelsea said it was because she was a special kind of thinker and she couldn’t hurt anything. This room was full of hundreds and hundreds of rats in hyper-filtered cages, most containing one nursing mother rat and a whole litter of babies. Keiko helped here, now. She cleaned cages, fed rats, and sent rats to other Amelix offices around the world via interoffice mail.

Dr. Chelsea said that Dr. Walt Zytem had given Dr. Kessler and his possessions to Dr. Chelsea, and that now Keiko was Dr. Chelsea’s possession. Dr. Chelsea said that soon Keiko would be serving her in every possible way.

Keiko could not imagine.
