TWENTY-SIX

Dr. Vyas and his team of scientists are closely examining the vitals of the creature. Green, yellow, blue, and red lines are steadily beeping on a multimodal vital sign monitor. The creature's body temperature, pulse, blood pressure, and respiratory rate have been blinking normally since the chip implant. A large screen next to the medical machine is broadcasting the aerial battle between the moth creature and the JASDF. The creature is slicing through the JASDF's air crafts with little ease and effort.

After the creature stabilized from its surgery, Dr. Vyas has been slowly testing the neurological chip. They were able to control the creature's movements bits by bits. The first tests were conducted on its motor reflexes, followed by directional movement, and cognitive acuity. Though progress was gain, complete control and manipulation of the creature failed. Dr. Vyas will have to update and readjust his neurological chip a third time. The minor results on the other hand, have been deemed acceptable.

Walking over to the next terminal, Dr. Vyas begins to press a series of buttons. The cage confining the creature begins to separates from the center. He flicks on a second set of buttons to ascend the gurney the creature is bound to. 25 miles above ground from the manufacturing plant, a hidden door releases from the ground. A slow metallic whirring sound can be heard from beneath as a large creature rises from below. Readying his team of scientists to their monitoring posts, Dr. Vyas presses the final button on the terminal. The restraints on the creature as well as the muzzle around its snout hisses shortly as it detaches to the ground. Dr. Vyas steps to his terminal station and begins adjusting a serious of knobs and levels. The creature above ground starts stumbling into the sea.
