A man pulls up into the parking lot of what would seem to any passerby as a dilapidated warehouse. The door to the car opens and a man with shoulder length black hair emerges. Pulling out a keycard to swipe through the mechanism next to the door of the warehouse, not even noticing the midnight train rolling past. The man made his way inside the building and walked down the hallway and up a flight of stairs before arriving to his destination.

Inside this circular room sat a round table with a dozen seats; all off which were occupied except for one. They were all waiting for the latest report on their most interesting and encouraging project 781227. The man entering the room took his seat in the last unoccupied chair.

A man in his upper 50's with receding grey hair spoke "Cassidy what have you to report on the field testing of 781227?" The voice was unemotional and almost monotone.

Cassidy cleared his throat "As you all have seen by now on the video surveillance footage shot tonight that 781227 met our expectations and saved his target".

The man spoke again to Cassidy "yes while that may be true he didn't exactly save the original target of our plan, Ms. Bloom"

"No, no he didn't I was actually a little surprised myself that 781228 couldn't avoid the beam like Ms. Bloom did. I guess that's just another reason why 781227 seems to be a much more promising specimen." Cassidy looked around at the eleven other members currently attending and decided to go on. "I believe even though we had a little misstep with 781228 being saved instead of Ms. Bloom we can accelerate our plans in a different direction, it is a good thing I planned for this contingency". Cassidy stated letting a bemused smile spread cross his face.

A woman with black short hair in her upper 40's spoke this time, "Where are you going with this Cassidy"

Cassidy suppressed his grin and spoke again, "As you all know Xyzzyxx was firebombed less than a year ago and all it's research with it" Cassidy said in a fact stating tone.

"Make your point Cassidy" spoke the woman in an annoyed manner.

"Right, as I was saying all of the Xyzzxx's information is gone except for the inaccessible copy in 781227's brain, but it has come to my intention that is not the case".

The members around the circular table started to whisper amongst themselves.

Another slender man in his early 60's spoke "How do you know this?"

"Two months ago the sensors in our computers monitoring Xyzzxx was tripped of by the gravity doors in the facility being activated, at the time our people assumed an animal had tripped the doors but my interest had been peaked. Who would enter an abandoned underground facility, especially after we cleared it out of anything worth having? So as I went through the facility I came to a room with a panel moved and an open safe in its' place. I decided to try my luck and see if any other rooms happened to have a hidden safe and it just so happened one did, containing several hard drives" Cassidy spoke a slightly sinister smirk crept along his face.

Cassidy decided to press on "It seems to our luck the head of the program William Kern decided to hoard a copy of the information just in case Xyzzx decided to toss him out."

The black haired woman spoke spoke up, "This is all very interesting Cassidy but how does this pertain to the advancement of project 781227?"

Cassidy was little shocked at the lack of appreciation of his efforts but he didn't let it show. Cassidy started speaking again "One part of Kern's research was information input and personality altering to the human brain. He used this for his programming on 781227 so that he could test just how advanced 781227's brain was. One thing Kern did overlook is how his research could also work to alter normally gestated human beings"

The man receding gray hair spoke up again "Cassidy what is your plan? Also as advanced as we are with our facilities we don't have the proper equipment to do what I think your intending."

Cassidy raised his voice "Right you are that is why I invited a guest, someone who has had these sort of dealings in the past."

At that point the door behind Cassidy opened and in walked a slender beautiful woman in her late 20's.

Cassidy spoke "May I present Ms. Emily Hollander."
