So, we did; while I invited Dael and Anjil to my house, my father showed everything to Kim and Lee. According to my father, they were very impressed, of course, they only believed it was me who had done it, my father told him that the other guys didn't know anything. This was unprecedented, and the videos explained the steps that were followed.
1st step: succeeding in extracting the specifically targeted genes desired from each animal via genetic engineering.
2nd step: After selecting the test subjects, the GMOs (genetically modified organisms) are obtained. As mentioned above, recombinant DNA technology is also used, through which the organisms will be inoculated with the desired genes.
3rd step: Which method should be used for the transfer to the test subjects? Because they are embryos, the methods used since ancient times were not suitable. Biolistics was fine for plant tissues, but for a human being, it was too invasive and obvious, and therefore it was used exclusively in the plant kingdom.
As for retrovirus transfection, it could work, however, there were two dangers, time, and virus, which could affect pregnancies. — It had to be remembered that the test subjects did not know of this—. So going back to biolistics with his gene gun was not such a bad option, since in today's world syringes are guns, a more effective and faster way to carry the drug.
The gene gun needed to be modified, something had to carry the genetic material. Of course, the method used for transformation would be pro-nuclear microinjection, but without being so aggressive, for the fetuses. So, it was decided to use intelligent microchips, already used for everything, even in surgeries. They were programmed to carry the genes to the cells of the fetus and implant them.
4th step: Apply monthly from one to two doses, according to the time of pregnancy would be the number of inoculations. The patients attended the clinic twice a month, which made it easier to implant the genes. These were applied until the time of birth when the transgenic would be obtained.
— It's brilliant! A real aberration, but amazing the way they developed it, it wasn't easy at all.
— Yes Kim, the other videos explain in more detail each step, the instabilities, and adversities that occurred during the process. The first tests were performed on a pig, and they got the fetus. Only that it suffered from adverse effects, such as the pig was born with real qualities of the animals they had chosen.
— We saw it had wolf ears and the skin was almost transparent. Luckily, Alexa did not turn out like that. I have a question, as Dr. Alin mentioned several fetuses, how did she get to them? Do you know, uncle? — She worked in hospitals with pregnant women, Kim didn't know.
— So, she just selected at random, taking advantage of the situation.
— No and yes.
— No?! —Kim and Lee were dumbfounded—. Explain yourself, my friend.
— He picked them at random, but one from each colony, including Alexa.
— So, who are the other guys?
— You'll know tomorrow, Lee, I'll wait for you at home at 4 pm to meet them.
In our land it was getting dark early, at 6:30 pm exactly, the guests started to arrive early. Kim and Lee were the first, then Anjil and finally Dael, who even brought his mother, who had come to visit him.
Responses
Everyone was gathered in the courtyard and while I was accommodating my friends, my father pulled Kim away so that he would not see Dael's mother. We were not prepared for this unexpected event, but we managed to accommodate them. In the end, we were unable to prevent them from meeting each other. Immediately, Dael's mother tried to leave.
— Dael, let's go!
— Mother, what's wrong?
— Lauren?!
— I'm leaving!
— Please, Mrs. Lauren, I know this is hard, but I need you to stay.
— How do you know me?!
— Alexa?!
— Dael everything has an explanation. I didn't expect your mom to join in, this just happened by chance.
— Lauren… This is serious, I require you to stay, it's about Alin.
— Luis?!
— Hello, how long?
They both hugged each other.
— Is this your daughter?
— Yes, let's sit down and talk later, ok?
They all sat down, of course, Kim kept looking at her and Dael looked between the two of them. I took a big breath and stood in front of everyone. I cleared my throat and squeezed my hands, my father stood next to me and put his arm on my shoulder.
— Some people here think they know what this is all about, but they don't have a clue. — At that moment the last piece entered, and the scientist who was analyzing the other three, Dad, invited him to come in and sit down—. Anyway, I just want to say that my father and I are just other victims, and we have no way to justify this disaster. I want to ask you to watch to the end, no talking, please. Thank you for coming.
Without further ado, I played the video and as the clip went on, I looked at everyone's face, I didn't know what was worse, the experiment or Kim knowing he had a son. Or that his supposed friend betrayed them both.
