PREY II: End Of Era

Great Explanations

(Sorry that this one's short)

Tristan took a deep breath, 'I was hired about four years ago by Zimos after I had quit The Changelings. Zimos wanted me to take part in Project Omega Upsilon or 'ώύ' for short. We planned to make a genetically modified soldier that would be used for full-scale war. The soldier was made with ghostly attributes mimicking mine and other practical powers such as being able to heal and to take forms of the flora and fauna of an area. The soldier was nicknamed 'Wu' after someone mistook ώύ. Everything went fine until one of our super-computers predicted total elimination of the earth if Wu was released as part of the 'Chaos Theory'.

Of course, we kept him under wraps but he escaped us. Fortunately he had not finished full completion and was very weak. Remember I told you he got some of my powers? Well I have the ability to go to other dimensions without suffering radiation sickness. I did go once but no living creature was in sight, so I went home. Well, Wu must have found a place he liked and went there. After a year we forgot about Wu and our manager told we were working on another project. I didn't want to take part in it so I disappeared and so did the instruction manual. Tom likes to provoke me about that.

Then just a week ago they found me and drugged me. I told them about everything but the eternity code that sealed the manual. They heard about you too and everything so they threatened to kill you if I didn't comply. They've stolen six test subjects; children and we're now implanting nano-machines into them as we speak. We've been specialising attributes such as water, fire, earth, wind, lightning and plant. They're children because they don't pose as much a threat or so they think. Anyway we're ahead of schedule and that's why I'm relaxing now. Hopefully they don't try and sell it off to the military'

Tristan yawned, "Maybe you should get some sleep"

'He's the one yawning' Nicole thought.

"Do have any spare rooms?" Nicole asked

"Sure! Room 2901!"

"Where's that?"

"Beside mine!"

Tristan lay back in his chair and yawned again, "Tomorrow I'll show you around"

He started to snore and Nicole knew it was time to let him sleep.
