staring at the tv, the white-cloaked men, and few women study the girl. Her once ashy blonde hair a now a striking light blue.
"Wow isn't this amazing! Edith, tell me, what's your secret for being so smart?" The young girl, Edith, only shrugs, a goofy smile appearing on her face.
"I don't know, my mommy says I was just born with a big brain... But I know that isn't true, so don't let her know I know." The young girl whispered the last part as she looked around suspiciously; her light, curly, hair shadowing her face.
"Don't worry, we won't tell her. Am I right folks?! Well thank you for your time Edith, I bet you're gonna give Stark a run for their money... Now turn to the crowd and say goodbye."
The host, a fairly young brunette, grasped Edith by her shoulder as she hopped off the chair. The young genius smiling brightly, just as she was told, waved the crowd goodbye. Running off to the other end the stage, her hair flitted away off the screen as the camera panned back to the host.
"Well isn't she just too cute. Now don't forget to see Edith in the upcoming movie..."
Staring at the tv they pondered the ways of how her hair had become suddenly so blue; as it's not a natural color pigment in hair.
"It's rumored that her mother died it as a publicity stunt... She couldn't have possibly rewritten her genetic code just to change her hair." The woman is the first to speak.
Her eyebrows furrowed as she nearly glowers at the tv screen; then tracing a hand through her graying hair.
"Well it's not entirely impossible for that to be the case, but if we study the before an after photos you'll notice that even her eyelashes and eyebrows have taken the pigment, if not more." The shortest of the group spoke. A stout man standing at around five feet, listed as he stared at the headshot of the little girl.
"Alright people, we need to come up with a verdict. Now before we start another debate, I've decided to do something simpler, a poll. The higher up want a decision by the end of the day! Now pass around the paper and figure out your answer."
The head scientist spoke out; with clenched fists he tightly gripped the rail, watching as his top scientists argue over something as minimal as a hair pigment. While he also found it impressive that this girl could alter her genetics, he wants to see what else she knows. And furthermore, just to how advanced her knowledge of science is. Grinning he watched as his team file over to the computer and press the simple yes or no button. He doesn't want to have to waste time over simplicities such as concern and error. There's much better things to do.
"Has everyone voted." Watching his team nod in response, he smiles. "Good."
walking down the stairs he ignored the complaints of his crew. They just don't understand. He thought as he straightens out his blue lab coat. This is all for the greater good. Stepping up the computer he types in some simple code and watches in delight as the green bar heavily outweighs the red. Smiling smugly he turns around to face his crew.
"So it's been decided. Project Plague Blue is to be commenced starting now!" T
