Antauri stormed to his room to meditate; he usually did that when he was stressed or upset. How could this have happened; he never had relations with anyone so how in the world could he have a daughter……He entered his room and started to meditate when there was a knock on his door
"Antauri," said Nova quietly, "could I come in?"
"Enter….," replied Antauri
She entered and looked at him hovering over his bed, "Are you ok?" she said worryingly
"I am shocked and confused but I am fine," he confessed
"Antauri," she started, "I hate to be abrupt but…..how did this happen, and for that matter who?"
He opened his eyes and sighed looking to the floor "All I can say is that I have no knowledge of any woman in my personal life and that 16 years ago we were in hyper sleep….I do not know how this has happened and to be truly honest…I am," he seemed to choke on the words, "I am quite scared."
"Oh…Antauri; I'm sorry that this has happened but I don't think we can ignore it," she said comfortingly, "but you are the one always telling me that the pathway to happiness is though the darkness of our fears."
Antauri smiled and replied, "You are right; I thank you Nova."
"Oh don't' worry about it," she blushed and smiled as Antauri came down and hugged her; they were about to finished their conversation when Sprx came bursting in.
"Oops sorry to interrupt but we think we've found something in the Alchemist's Journal……." said Sprx abruptly
"What is it?" asked Nova
"Well it turns out that …… oh what am I telling you for! Come on!" said Sprx
The all ran towards the meeting room where they were all standing at the computer console while Gibson pushed several buttons to retrieve the file of the Journal
"What is it Gibson?" asked Antauri
"According to the written records, the Alchemist was working on a natural born specimen of the Power of Primate…it says there's a video entry some…where…Here it is!" proclaimed Gibson as the screen turned on and there was the face of their creator.
I have started to test a new found theory of inherited natural born abilities. All of my robot monkey specimens were gifted with their powers, so I have started a project that involves the natural birth of a baby through a surrogate mother. I have found a young woman willing to be placed with an egg that I myself fertilized by using one of my monkeys DNA. I myself picked out Antauri as a worthy candidate to be the sire to this experiment that I call "Project Progeny" and hope that it will turn out successful……
They thought it was over but it auto linked to another entry; they had a feeling that it would do it several times….
It is now month 5 of the gestation period and the experiment is going splendid. The baby is showing signs of early abilities while inside the womb; I myself witnesses as a blanket floated across the room and covered the mother as she slept. This early sign of the Power of Primate makes great promises toward my goals of my research before my ghastly transformation…….
It again directed to another entry
This is a glorious day as I can announce the successful birth of Adeline Tomoyo Lamang born August 30, 2056 at 4:04pm. She is showing no current signs of mental activity so I have decided to allow the mother to take the baby to a distant planet called Earth to thrive in peace with out the interference of the forces of evil.
The journal entry stopped there and they all thought for a single moment..
"Well that explains quite a lot," replied Gibson
"So, the Alchemist took Antauri's DNA and made a baby for an experiment? Isn't that a little extreme?" said Chiro confused
"Maybe kid but when did a scientist need an excuse to do weird experiments," said Sprx.
Otto simply said, "So…..we have a niece?"
"I guess so…what do you think about all this Antauri?" Nova asked as she turned around but Antauri was gone, "Antauri?"
"I think I got a pretty good guess of where he went," said Sprx as he headed to the infirmary. There they saw Antauri standing next to Adeline and staring at her…..as if trying to find something…..They left both of them alone to talk freely whenever she woke up……
