Chapter 2: Pirate's log continued
"... combining human clones with blood from other species. experements 1-13 rejected the transplant outright, and were termenated." Samus stoped. "Fusing humans with exotic blood?
They realy are trying to mimic me..." thought Samus, then she resumed reading. "Experement 14 (species of transplant:zero) was successful untill the pupa stage where the zero cells attempted to grow into kihunter cells. The experement's human cells resisted, causing a half-pupa stage.
This caused internal problems as the zero cells liquefied, causing ruptured arteries.
Experement 15 is aperently a success, as the specimen accepted the blood and with help from the last of the phazon that was avalable to the project, became an impresive bioform."
Samus tried to get the species name that the blood implanted in Experement 15 came from, but that info was classified, and not contained in the computer's memory banks.
"No problem," thought samus. "I'll just scan experiment 15 if I find it." She searched the computer for any information on experiment 15, but only found two more recent logs, of which she read the older one, which was dated yesterday.
"Breakthroughs in the two other projects has led to the creation of a experimental power suit built for experiment 15. The experiment's genetic data has been copied and is in the hands of the council, in case the suit fails to operate correctly and kills experiment 15.
Testing will begin as soon as the suit arives and is fitted to experiment 15." Samus's eyes widened. Brakethroughs? Did that mean the space pirates succeded in mimicing her suit?! She read the next log quickly. It was writen 1 hour ago.
"The suit has arrived, and testing will begin shortly. However, an unforseen error in cloning has conspired to restore the mind of the human who was cloned. But luckily, the DNA used was almost ancient, and probably will have no grudges against the Space Pirate race, though the council is worried.
A fedoration science vessel that a raiding party infiltrated had an artifact displaying a image that looks suspiceiously like the hunter, that came from about the same age as tne DNA.
The council has sent heavy protection to avoid any difficulties that might occur if grudges do exist somehow." Samus almost laughed at the idea of the space pirate's own experement turning on them.
She decended the final ramp to the bottom floor. On one wall were two doors, one directly over the other. An alert came from her ship.
Pirate activity detected advancing on your position. activity shows they will enter the compound in ten minutes. Samus was glad she knew about the incoming pirates, but she wanted to find out if expeement 15 was still in the compound. The large tank held an elite pirate.
It was definately not experiment 15, but more likely the "heavy protection" the log had told about. She went through the higher door and discovered that the room was ligned with consoles and screens.
A window opposite the door allowed veiwing of the room below. On one side, she could see a stasis tank that probably held experiment 15.
Opposite the tank was a elevator shaft, that seemed that the elevator was at the bottom of the shaft or near it. Samus looked at one of the screens, and the current time was displayed. 2:99, it displayed.
"One more secont to the test," thought samus. The second passed, and a dissembodied female voice said "Experiment 15 combat test, start."
The tank close to the window opened and spewed out a humanoid figure in a power suit that was almost identical to samus's in appearance, exept size and coloring.
It was a light teal all over, with black lines patterned all over the main body area of the suit, excluding the blaster attached to the left hand and the helmet, which were teal alone.
After the fighure gained it's footing, the elevator began to rise. On it was a parasite queen trapped in a force feild. When the elevator reached the top, the force feild faded, and the parasite queen attacked.
