This back story applies to both of my stories.
Bonus Chapter: Epsilon
"So doctor, how is the patient doing?" A man in a high class suit said looking at a boy in a hospital bed being treated by doctors.
"His condition at the moment is unknown. All we know is that the patient got into a car crash, reports tell us that he suffered a fractured skull with massive brain damage, even both of his eyes suffered damage due to broken glass so we will probably going to replace those, and probably memory loss as well." A woman with a doctor's coat said
"So why has the mother and father agreed to let us do something like this?" The man asked.
"The mother agreed instantly when we told her the chances of survival will slightly be improved, but I still have a bad feeling about this." the doctor said
"And the father?"
"Before he died of internal bleeding he said anything to let him live." The doctor answered. "Are you really doing this free for the family? Why?"
"We are doing this free because it has not been done before, anywhere actually. If this succeeds this young boy will have improved eyesight, reaction time, and intelligence, it won't be only beneficial to him but also our soldiers." He smiled.
"So this is what it's about huh? you're using this boy as a test rat." she scoffed at the man.
He then looked serious again. "You know I don't like this decision either you know, but once the high ranks were looking for people to test on, this innocent child came on the list suddenly and they thought they would try a certain type of A.I. on this kid." The man said.
"Types? you mean there's different variants of these computers?" The doctor asked confused.
"Yes indeed, the one we are installing in this kid's brain is called Epsilon, it's one of our newest ideas, a perfect version for this kid's problem, but it is a prototype so he may experience some 'problems' along the way." The man explained.
"What kind of problems?" The doctor asked curiously.
"We don't know, therefore we will keep close communications on the mother." The man said firmly.
"So what else can this computer do?"
Just as the doctor asked a surgeon opened the door into the observation room.
"Epsilon has been installed, all the boy needs now is some rest." The surgeon said. As he stepped out the room the doctor faced the man.
"I hope you know what you are doing." She said.
"I hope THEY know what the're doing, and as always, have a nice evening Doctor Brooks." The man said while walking out the door and shutting it behind him, leaving the doctor alone inside the room.
*A year later*
As Dr. Brooks and the anonymous man was standing in the observation room once again looking at the young boy laying on a hospital bed.
"So you made updates on this Epsilon?" Dr. Brooks asked
"Yes, we added another umm... well let's just say a co-computer."
"That meaning?" The doctor asked again.
"Well its sorta like this; Epsilon is the OS and the co-computer, known as Foxtrot, sends audible messages in his mind to help and guide him, hell technology today is advanced enough to give this Foxtrot a personality."
"A personality?"
"Yes, we did some research on the patient's personality and made it more sophisticated and intelligent. Sort of like his personality once he grows up.. probably."
Just then the little boy on the hospital bed started shifting slightly and turning his head. This made the doctor and the man shocked.
"He is awake already? I thought you said three more weeks." he exclaimed.
"I did, how has he woken up already?" The doctor asked amazed.
They looked at the boy slowly sitting up and rubbing his eyes before opening them
"Uh.. sir? how will you explain to the mother that you put a computer in the back of this child's head... and the fact that his irises are illuminating amber?" The doctor asked.
"Judging this he's probably making contact with Foxtrot, it will wear down momentarily." The man explained.
Soon after five minutes the boy's eyes slowly faded into a dark grey color. As Dr. Brooks and the man looked in awe, a surgeon walked into the observation room.
"The subject has been a success, but the increased intelligence and vision has failed but he does now have a very good reaction time." The surgeon briefed before walking out of the room once again.
"Well, at least he is alive." The doctor said.
"I guess, oh well that is the higher rank's problem, not mine. So... who will break the bad news." He said
"I think we will leave that to the mother." Dr. Brooks responded as she was preparing to leave.
"Alright, but I hope this young man can fit into society with that." The man said while leaving the room.
Just as the doctor can leave she looked one more time at the patient. "Yeah.. good luck." she said while shutting the door behind her.
