Chapter twenty two

What is wrong with you how did you become like this hey Ben

But there was no answer, I was the one under the knife but you are the one fainting

P...ull..d..own...t...he..le..ver the poor guy on the floor speak with great difficulty

You said

P... ull.. d.. own... t... he... l... ever

Lever? what lever?

The right wall the one with the P.

Looking around in the lab she finally found it

Looking at the digits on the screen yep this is totally abnormal but why am I unaffected

She just shrugged her shoulder and did as she was told to and walked back to the man on the floor but this time he had totally fainted

Guess this will be much longer than estimated

An hour later the man on the floor finally move but his movement was sluggish

He placed his hands on the wall as he tried to bring him self to stand as his legs were shivering, his face drenched in sweat his movements sluggish

You up

Looking up he saw Lacy towering above him with her arms folded onto her chest

I watched one under the knife yet you are the one fainting

And when she squat down to meet his eye level she said or is it that your constitution is weak and cannot manage a few hours of stress

He did not answer but rather focus on what he was doing

The girl just smiled and said let me help you

As she tried to pull him up she just heard a loud scream

Whats wrong now are you OK?

Would I be shouting if I was fine and I know you just survive the first phase but you did not have to crush my bone to showe how strong you are

A hearty laughter was heard as she said sorry am sorry but the expression on your face is a total bliss

We will see who will have the last laugh

He said standing up as he walk away

Grumpy

About half an hour later they were set for the next phase

As they were about to proceed he turned to lacy and asked her again are you so sure about going ahead with this though about thirty percent normally survive the first phase the second phase none has survive this phase yet and I have yet to answer the question why

You know am starting to get tired of this question you asked me why I want to well am going to tell you. All my life I am seen as the daughter of the great order the daughter of the great hero who saved mankind, at home am pampered treated like a jewel and never has anyone noticed what I do none has ever understood my own ability they see me as the daughter of that great hero that is to be expected

But I don't want that I don't want to be somebody else shadow I don't want NY glory and hard work to be fill into somebody else's pocket I want my own name and a glory of my own

And this is the only start I can think of and you are right for someone like me to take a risk like this there must be a reason

Well there is and I don't think I can hide it from you

What is that Ben's curiosity was piqued by this statement

Not even my dad know about this but Rita left something behind

As someone who has been working with the leftovers his greed for this new serving was like that of a gold digger

Tell me

On one condition

And what is that?

I don't want father to know

And why is that?

Guess you are not interested the first phase was already painful am leaving

Hey hold on why so hasty no one is good st keeping secret like me so let's talk like mature adults alright

That more like. I like working with smart people I knew coming to you was not a mistake

Alright enough flattering speak

Well she said at that time she was about to leave I met her in the lab she said that this is more than just genetic engineering if one can not look beyond then that person can never be beyond

And she also gave me this she removed the clip holding her hair and placed it on the table

A hair clip

Don't be so quick in judging

She tapped on it and it showed an anatomical diagrams of the human body with different illustrations and marking

Wow!!

Wow indeed

This is a major break through

I know but if you had this all along why did you not bring it out

I don't want it to land in father's hands

And why will you not want that

That will be a story for another time

Such a secretive person

Well thanks for the lovely remark now let's look at this together

Focusing back on the main goal this shows each region of the body and how they change in each passing phase but from what I understand they are different dose for each type but they question is how are they classified I can't see to decipher

It's not according to weight nor age

It's according to BMI

Huh, how can you be so sure

Well before now in our current time some doses of drugs are usually calculated based on this though our current time is not the same as before I can tell that it's based on this reference that this is what was used

You have been making rough estimations about this which is primarily why the second phase as been a death bed of many

And this though the second phase lasts for fourty eight hours and so far the one that lasted long enough was six hours

For someone who is not always around you are well informed

Thank you for the compliment but let's face this right now I don't want to die so let me die so let's make this the first successful experiment since the last history
