Fuck yeah! It's alive! Slams hands on the control panel, lights flicker as the creature stirs
Boss, remember me? Afterto.
Of course, Afterto. My faithful servant. What do you need?
Speak, what has happened?
We have reached 100% morality in our test subject. The project is a failure. And uh, Dr, Lysander… clears throat
What is it, Afterto? Don't keep me waiting.
Gives a USB drive to Dr. Lysander
What's this? Give me that. Takes the USB drive and opens it What the... It's the video footage from the secret room. How did you get this?
Genius or not, you will pay for your betrayal. Lysander pulls out a small device and activates it, creating a force field around himself You thought you could fool me? This is my secret weapon. Lysander raises his hand, ready to use the force field for an unknown purpose
Please no one uses laser eyes-
Too late for regrets, Afterto. Prepare for your punishment. Lysander releases the force field, sending it hurtling towards Afterto at lightning speed
Dodges the attack effortlessly Really boss?
Very well, it seems you're not as useless as I thought. But don't think this means you've won. There's still much more punishment coming your way. Lysander slowly lowers his hand, ready to launch another attack
I finished what you started. Remember, you had to take a shit when you made Eve.
Damn you, Afterto! You always find a way to turn the tables on me. Lysander smirks, his eyes filled with determination Fine, if you want to play that game, let's see who comes out on top. Prepare yourself, Afterto. The battle has only just begun.
Silence! Don't speak unless spoken to, you insolent servant. Now, I have a new idea. We're going to rebuild this experiment from scratch, and next time, there won't be any room for failure. We will succeed, and the world will tremble before us. Lysander walks over to a whiteboard and begins drawing a diagram of a new experiment This time, nothing will stop us.
Hm… Maybe I’ll stick around then.
Very well, Afterto. If you prove to be a worthy assistant, perhaps I will reconsider your punishment. But remember, I won't tolerate any further betrayals. If you cross me again, you'll regret it. Understood?
Good. Now get to work, Afterto. We have a lot to do if we're going to make this experiment a success. Lysander turns back to his whiteboard, scribbling down equations and notes at an alarming rate We mustn't waste any more time. The fate of humanity is in our hands.
Could i at least learn how to make one of those force fields?
pauses for a moment, considering Very well, Afterto. I shall teach you how to create a force field, but remember, this power comes at a great cost. Use it wisely.
Then let us begin your training. Follow me. Lysander leads Afterto to a special chamber in the lab, where he begins teaching him the secrets of creating force fields Remember, Afterto, it takes great focus and strength to wield this power. You must dedicate yourself fully to the training. Are you ready?
Excellent. We shall start by finding your energy center. Lysander closes his eyes, focusing his own energy Follow my lead, Afterto. Concentrate on your inner self, and find the source of your power. It may take some time, but eventually, you will feel it. Now, focus that energy outward, creating a shield around yourself. Remember, keep it steady and strong. Lysander opens his eyes, a glowing blue force field surrounds him Now, try it yourself, Afterto.
Ok..closes his eyes and concentrates
watches intently as Afterto closes his eyes and begins to concentrate Good, good. You're doing it right, Afterto. Keep focusing your energy. I can feel the power surging within you. Now, expand your shield, make it bigger and stronger.
opens his eyes and nods, continuing to make the force field larger
Excellent, Afterto! Your progress is impressive. Now, let's see if you can deflect an incoming attack. Lysander raises his hand, summoning a series of laser blasts Try to deflect them using your force field. Show me what you're capable of.
continues deflecting them successfully
smiles proudly Well done, Afterto! You've come a long way since the beginning of your training. Your potential is limitless. Now, let's move on to the next step. Lysander gestures for Afterto to follow him to another chamber in the lab Here, we will teach you how to manipulate objects with your mind. Focus your energy and visualize an object in your mind. Concentrate on it until it becomes real. Are you ready?
places a small rock on a nearby table Now, Afterto, I want you to pick up that rock with your mind. Concentrate on it, visualize it in your mind. Make it move towards your hand. Remember, focus your energy and don't let it waver. Can you do it?
Visibly tries but fails I-
Don't worry, Afterto. It's not as easy as it looks. Manipulating objects with your mind requires tremendous concentration and control. It's alright if you can't do it right away. Keep practicing, and you will eventually get the hang of it. Lysander places his hand on Afterto's shoulder You're doing great, my friend. Don't give up.
You're welcome, Afterto. Remember, practice makes perfect. Don't get discouraged if you don't see immediate results. Keep training, and soon you will be able to manipulate objects with your mind. Now, let's try something else. Lysander gestures for Afterto to follow him to another part of the lab Here, we will teach you how to create illusions with your mind. It's a powerful technique that can deceive even the keenest of senses. Are you ready to learn?
I think I’ve gotten it. Grabs the rock without looking with his mind
Impressive, Afterto! You've mastered the art of telekinesis. Now, let's proceed to the next step. Lysander leads Afterto to another chamber in the lab, filled with various objects
Now, Afterto, I want you to create illusions of these objects. Make them appear and disappear at will. Concentrate your energy and bring these objects to life. Remember, focus your mind and visualize the outcome. Can you do it?
