Chapter 350
Eric was working late in the morgue. The schedule was suppossed to change every week, but he always got these graveyard shifts. He had tried to help people, he wasn't hurting anyone, yet somehow he was disgraced for his brilliant work. Eric was angry, but there seemed little chance of things getting better. He had little hope of getting a better job. Eric heard someone coming, odd to see someone else here this late. He was more shocked by this individual's appearence. He seemed partly human, but also part mechanical, partly animal other than human. This was Adam. Eric tried to run, but Adam grabbed his arm and began talking to Eric.
Adam: Eric, I need your help.
Eric: What are you?
Adam: I was created by someone much like you. You are a brilliant man, a doctor.
Eric: They took away my medical liscence.
Adam: They cannot destroy your knowledge with a piece of paper. You did experiments on dead bodies, good work too.
Eric: I never hurt a living body. Was trying to ultimately save lives, and they took everything from me. Called it, light "Crimes against humanity."
Adam: They were fools. If Maggie Walsh had been so restricted, I wouldn't be here.
Eric: You said you needed my help?
Adam: I want to create others, like myself. I need help from someone not only intelligent enough, but willing to do what is neccessary. Most doctors are too squeamish.
Eric: This could be the next stage in species evolution.
Adam: When has any species ever created the next stage in evolution. This is a first for all time.
Eric: It's immortality. A chance to leave an impact on this world for all eternity.
Adam: Than you're in?
Eric: Hell yes. I'm ready to begin right now. Just tell me what you need.
