Hey!

I finally convinced my sister to let me upload her story!

These are all original characters, any resemblance to persons living or dead...etc. you get the idea, its unlikely...

Just so you all know, I don't know how this story will progress, and I will only find out if you review...so PLEEEEASE review!

Prelude

The scientist's face was illuminated only by the light-screen in the desk connected to the high security system. Also on the desk were various hand drawn sketches of humanoid forms and systems. Standing out in the serious lab was an empty fish tank, with a large number of electrical cords emerging from it. The eerie darkness was broken by the light cast by the opening of a sliding door. A slim figure entered the room silently and moved to the desk. She peered over the shoulder of the scientist who gave no sign of whether or not he noticed that she had entered the room; until he spoke.

"Version 0028.59 Bravo will possess exactly the same traits as its' Alpha version."

"Except?"

"Except it will have a greater recovery rate, thanks to the nanobots."

"Nanobots? Don't they destroy all non-organic materials?"

"They do. But these are smaller; they are only capable of destroying foreign materials." He paused and turned his head to study her face. She moved away slightly, but kept her eyes on the screen. "It won't hurt it, its; skeletal structure isn't completely metallic." He turned back to the screen. "It also has the added bonus of the ability to destroy viruses and infections. When it does a large self repair, it will feel excruciating pain for a couple of minutes. But it will be at a time of his own choice; he'll be able to recover from just about anything."

"Wait, he?" the women queried, her voice low and dangerous.

"Or she." The boy added hurriedly.

There was a silence as they pondered the possible effects of this until the woman spoke.

"It will still be essentially a human will it not?"

"Like all of the genetically modified children we create, it will not truly feel emotions; it will only have the ability to portray th..."

"...give it real emotions. Except misery."

The scientist seemed scared by this. "R-real emotions? That will make it extremely unstable, especially if it doesn't have misery."

"Fine. All emotions but force it to utilise extra logic. Allow it to base emotions on reason."

"I don't think..."

The authority in her voice was suddenly obvious. "That is why you are not paid to make decisions." She paused to gauge his reaction. He was clearly hurt. "You are my leading scientist on this project; I value your opinion but never forget who is in charge here." She stood up to her full height and turned around.

"Yes Doctor L'Tate."

So...what did you think?

My sister originally stopped writing this because she didn't think anyone would like it...she won't listen to me, so I need some help.

More reviews = faster updates
