He couldn't believe he was actually doing it. All the planning
and waiting had finally come down to this moment. Donald Lydecker was
beside himself. Hopefully this prototype would be successful where others
had failed. "Excuse me doctor. Are you the father?"
He had to restrain a laugh. "My name is Dr. O'Connel. I was just checking on this child before I left. Whos baby is this?"
"This is Sarah and Gary Cooper's daughter. They are in room 623." Said the nurse.
"Have they seen her yet?"
"No doctor, not since she was delivered."
"She seems good to travel, lets show the new parents what they've done."
"Yes doctor, I will prepare the child."
As he walked into the room, he hoped the mother wouldn't be able to tell the difference between this child and their own. If any questions arose, he would just tell her that all babies looked different after they were cleaned up. She didn't ask any question thankfully. 'I guess the genetics personel did do a good job with the samples of the parents DNA.' The child should resemble the parents in looks, but everything else was predetermined. They had added a slightly higher amount of feline DNA for extra speed, agility, hearing, and sight. They had also coded the genes to remain dormant until the given time.
The X-7 group was supposed to be an updated version of his beloved X-5s with a few advancements. They didn't need half the training the X-5s had received. The entire group was already programmed in the basics, all they needed was to master the advanced training, and they would be ready. They had also been programmed to converge at a specific place at a specific time. Nothing could stop them from reaching that place, not even death.
"Excuse me doctor."
The mother was speaking to him.
"Yes"
"We were wondering what to name our daughter, do you have any suggestions?"
He couldn't believe they were asking him to help name a baby that he had, in part, created. He had never gotten to name one of his 'kids'. He knew that his beloved X-5s had called each other by name instead of designation number, but they never said them in front of a commanding officer. Thanks to secret cameras, he had learned more about the X-5s then they knew about themselves.
He thought for a moment and then it came to him. These kids where supposed to move like poetry in motion. Little poet.
"I think Tegan would suit her."
"Tegan, Tegan, I like that. What do you think Gary?" said Sarah
"If you like it, I like it."
He had to restrain a laugh. "My name is Dr. O'Connel. I was just checking on this child before I left. Whos baby is this?"
